Mutts dogs

Here are some of the dogs available for rehoming at Mutts in Distress. Please be aware that we cannot be sure how well any of the dogs will get on with any cats or other animals you may have at home.

These dogs are featured here because none of them were wearing ID discs when picked up and when scanned, none were microchipped. Look after your pet and get him microchipped – that way he will be returned to you if he strays. Dogs must wear ID tags by law. Ask at reception for disc engraving done while you wait and microchipping by appointment.

We have new dogs arriving at the centre every day and so the most recent arrivals may not feature on this page for a few days. Please contact us if you’d like more up to date information.

Please – think carefully when deciding to rehome a dog. Dogs are being let down by people who agree to take them but then change their minds. Only those who have passed a homecheck and bring the pass form with them, will be able to meet the dogs. This is both to avoid disappointment and because the kennels are a working business and kennel hands can not spend time with people who are not in a position to take a dog. Thank you for your understanding.

Jyp

He is an older Collie, who during his time with us at the kennels, has shown to be frightened of cats and a little shy at first but has now started to enjoy himself. He would enjoy a quiet adult only home with people who are willing to take it slow. He has a few problems with where you can touch him, so will need patience. He's the sort of dog who would like to go for walks with his owner whilst his owner tells him all about his day. He'd like to sit in the pub garden and share a sausage roll. He is frightened about travelling in the car, so will need gentle coaxing to build up his confidence. He would also enjoy to stay in and watch tv with his owner. He's a real companion dog. Not demanding, just content to be with you.
He really needs someone to boost his confidence and who can keep coming up to visit him and get him used to getting into cars.

Toby

Toby is young, very handsome, happy go lucky and medium sized. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to love to play with toys. He is a very smart boy and loves training and learning and wants to please. He responds really well and is a quick learner. He loves to please.Toby is a great dog and will be a fabulous companion in the right adult only home. He is loyal and loving. He gives himself heart and soul to people he knows and trusts. He needs someone who can take their time to introduce him to the outside world and show him how wonderful it can be. He would like to be the only dog in the home as he can dislike other dogs.

Sky

Sky is a beautiful long coat medium/large sized boy. He is young and a little overwhelmed at the moment. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to be unsure of men but this is being worked on. He is relaxing more and more and starting to enjoy a fuss, it's just going to take a confident and sensitive owner to help him further. Once he trusts you he is very loyal and loving.

John Rudi

John Rudi is about 5 years old, another fantastic dog. He loves cuddles and a scratch. Poor JR was abandoned by his owners and is very sad. So let's make him happy again. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to be wary of some dogs and socialising at our dog classes would really help his confidence in these situations. He is getting better around other dogs. He will have a polite sniff with the calm girls through the paddock fence. He is learning to wait and allow himself to be distracted with pieces of ham or hotdog on a walk when other dogs pass. He wants to please. An owner who is prepared to put some time into continuing his training in a calm and positive way will do well with him. Older children would be best if there are any in the family. He has not been bothered by seeing cats or livestock so far. He is good in the car and loves his walks. He will be a loyal and loving companion for someone.

Toots

When Tootsie first arrived, he was extremely scared of anyone and everything. Mutts have been working on him and so far in kennels, he is gaining confidence well. Now starting to walk on a lead. He can get worried with changes, so is looking for a quiet home and an owner with plenty of time and patience, who will come and sit with him to gain his trust. He is going to need gentle, slow progress. He needs someone who is willing to keep visiting him as he is wary of strangers especially men. He would like to have no children as adjusting to new adults will be a big enough challenge for him. Preferably someone who is experienced with Romanian dogs.
Once he knows you, he is a lovely boy who really enjoys giving kisses and loves a little stroke.

Smiley Beverley

Beverley is about 3 years old. A Lurcher cross. She loves people. So far in kennels, she has shown an interest in cats. She can walk with other dogs but would prefer not to live with them. She walks well on the lead. She would like a home with no small children as they scare her. Teenage dog savvy children only please.She would love to be someone's special princess. She enjoys her walks and cuddles. She will be a loyal and loving companion. If you are looking for a hound who will love nothing more than to snuggle up on a cold winter night and with snacks and a movie.... Beverley is your girl, she is a real cuddle monster.

Josie

Josie is a gorgeous girl with beautiful colouring. She is about 5 yrs old, spayed and vaccinated. She so far in kennels, has been a happy girl, who loves to play in the paddock. She loves a cuddle and will make a great companion for her new owner. She would like a home with older children and to be the only dog. She loves to play football in the garden and will entertain herself quite happily, a happy girl who just wants her own person.

Smiley Ruby

Ruby is a beautiful girl, very loyal and loving. Since being at the kennels, Ruby has shown that she just wants to cuddle and be loved. Ruby would rather have a cuddle than her breakfast when she sees you in the morning! When she goes to the paddock, she likes to have a look around but then spends most of her time sitting on your feet nudging you for more cuddles. She will be a wonderful friend for some lucky person. Shes about 4 1/2 years old, has been around children but a home with older children 10+ or no children would be best.She would make a wonderful companion for someone.

Flash

A handsome young Lurcher who has just arrived. He loves having a scratch and so far in kennels has been very friendly. He would love a sofa of his own but he can curl up small if needed. He loves a cuddle and is always trying to please. He can be too much for smaller children, so a home with teenagers would suit him best. He is quite a large dog.

Goldie

This GSD boy is about 8 years old, he is currently in Ukraine. He is thought to be almost blind. He has been overlooked in this cage for about a year. He loves a fuss and a stroke but has no chance of being rehomed where he is. Mutts have offered him a place with a chance for a new family and will get his eye condition assessed and hopefully improved. This boy will be travelling to Mutts as soon as it can be arranged and hopefully he will start a new and happy life as soon as possible.

Niebla

This poor boy was being picked on and attacked in the awful pound of Ourense.
He has been offered a safe place at Mutts. Hopefully, he will soon be shown love and attention again and will feel much better with a new home.
Update : His fosterer says he is absolutely beautiful, a really good dog who will make a fabulous, loyal companion for some lucky person. So far in kennels, he seems to be a loving, gentle dog. He would like a home as the only dog.

Mindy

Mindy is a 13 yr old Labrador who was left at the vets to be put to sleep. Luckily, Mutts were contacted to save her. This sweet girl would love a family to care for her in her twilight years. She is a little bewildered by what has happened to her but is loving having cuddles and enjoying her treats.

Diesel and Sophie

Two Lurchers who would like to be rehomed together please. They are a gorgeous couple who are really well behaved and love people. They are used to living together and really are no trouble. They have done nothing wrong, circumstances have changed and they need a new family.

Nim the Tabby cat

Tabby cat about 2 years old. Neutered but will need vaccinations. A very friendly cat who in kennels, has been fine around big dogs.
