Other dogs

Here are some of the dogs available for rehoming at other rescue centres who have asked us to help them.

Note – because these dogs are not at Mutts in Distress, we don’t know very much about them. We merely give other rescues some space to advertise their dogs. Please don’t phone Mutts in Distress, as our staff cannot answer questions about these dogs. Instead, call the number shown in each dog’s description.

Please – think carefully when deciding to rehome a dog. 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.

Dogs are being let down by people who agree to take them, but then change their minds.

Dave -URGENT

Dave is a 6 yr old black and tan Jack Russell cross and is need of help asap. Here is the current information.
Dave requires a home with no other pets or persons other than the owner. He responds very well to affection and attention.
He will spend hours cuddling his owner and maintaining eye contact. He will follow the owner everywhere. He is lively and agile. Dave adapts quickly to a new primary carer, loves his food and walks and is generally friendly and intelligent.
He is not a fussy eater and travels well in the car. He will happily go into his crate where he feels safe. In there, he is mostly quiet day or night. He is anxious though and will think he is being abandoned if left alone. He will become destructive if left alone. His toilet habits are haphazard, he will use the outdoors but doesn't ask to go out. He will urinate indoors to mark his territory, partly due to anxiety and to make his home appear familiar and safe. He was rejected and placed in an outdoor kennel for 5 months with complete withdrawal of attention prior to being rescued.( A new puppy was introduced to the family and his jealousy caused him to nip the puppy, hence the exile.)
If another animal is present, he becomes extremely possessive of his owner and will growl at the interloper. If a toy or bone is involved, he may attack the other animal to protect what he considers is his. He pulls when being walked on the lead, if off lead he will return.
Dave seems to be in good health. He has a small hernia in his abdomen and has not been castrated. He is not up to date with his vaccinations.
To offer Dave a home he really needs, please contact his current owner 07465 681872

Angus - not at Mutts

Please note these dogs are not at Mutts in Distress and we know nothing about them. We merely give other rescues space to advertise their dogs. Please do not phone Mutts in Distress, as our staff cannot answer questions about these dogs. Please call the number against each dog.
Angus the Gt Dane is 5 years old. He is looking for an experienced home.
He is being rehomed due to family illness.
Angus is reactive to male dogs but is usually fine with females.
He has previously lived with a female dog without problems.
Angus is house trained and lead trained but will not live with cats. He apparently has great recall.
The owner says :
Dog reactive when out for walks but I believe with socialisation and training this could be corrected.
He lives with three children and has been around babies/ small children his whole life.
I believe he would do better in a child/pet free house. As he prefers a quiet environment. He is not neutered.
Hasn’t been to the vets since pre Covid. I believe he had his puppy vaccinations but nothing since.
Good on lead knows not to walk in front or pull but can be bossy with new people. Walks with a head harness on short lead.
Recall is perfect.
Located in Leeds could transport up to an hour away.
If interested in rehoming Angus and wanting more information, please call 07379 561321.
