Adoption

The photos below show the absolute beauties we currently have available for adoption. They are neutered, fully vaccinated, chipped, flea’d and wormed ready for homes.

We rescue a variety of sizes, ages, energy levels, coat types and even colour to make sure we have someone for everyone. It’s all about making the perfect match and encouraging people to rescue rather than buy! Unlike many we will rehome to families with children etc and people with cats, other dogs but everything is done on an individual basis.

Keep checking back as we update this regularly.

PLEASE NOTE WE CURRENTLY ONLY REHOME IN THE GREATER MANCHESTER AREA.

Dogs are available for Foster/Trial and if you find the right match and all goes well. HOME CHECKS apply.

Dogs Available

Coco - large lab size lively dog who adores all people and children but too jumpy for small kids. He isn't a fan of cats - loves dogs but gets jealous (when he has his own people). Lively, clever and looking for love - he will reward someone so much <3

Stuart. This old boy has had a tough life on the streets for at least 10 years. He has hardly any teeth left, scars all over his body. He is quiet and sweet here but he has quickly become instiutionalised. He needs someone confident and patient. He doesn't want to live with other dogs, kids or cats as he just wants all the attention, food, etc and peace more than anything. He loves to go on his walks but he does take time to settle in a new place as he is unsure until he knows he is safe. He needs a confident owner who will appreciate the incredible character he is so he can be happy.

Toby - an old boy who is suspected deaf and has blindness to some degree. He's gentle, sweet, easy, quiet, great with all dogs and takes treats lovely and gently. We are unsure of his age as he came from a UK pound he's no trouble and small and sweet - we hope someone comes forward

Max - blind extra large pointer cross type - an angel in the home, he gets around fine but he is a lazy couch potato and wants a quiet life. He doesn't like cats and can be unsure with some other dogs but is house clean with no separation issues. He's an older boy of about 8

Sadie is currently stilly in Cyprus - she is gorgeous, gentle natured, dog friendly and typical of these beautiful dogs. She has leishmania (very common over there) it puts peopel off adopting but it really shouldn't. It's not contagious and we have rehomed many with it who have continued to live normal happy lives. It is managed with tablets and support and advice is available.
Please don't overlook this young girl because of it. She needs a home just as much as all the others..

Flockel - a beautiful gentle, calm, large dog who is perfect in the house, no separation issues, walks really well on the lead fine with dogs but no cats can be an only dog or live in a group. He is low energy, loving and a real pleasure. He has been on many fosters but not yet found his forever home. He is fine with kids but would prefer a home without them as he just likes to chill.

Nadia, a gentle, quiet soul who just wants to be safe and who loves belly tickles, no issue being left, can be an only dog or part of a group - perfect with all but wants a quiet home she can relax in. Great on the lead, doesn't pull at all, a pleasure to walk. SHe's about 5 yrs old and will make someone the most loyal pet. She is gentle , her eyes melt your heart. To meet her is to fall in love. Large size.

Rubi small young pup who needs to be placed wiht another dog as she is not confident enough to be an only dog. SHe was very shy but is coming around really well and loves people but loves dogs more. A gentle, sweet girl you can't help but fall for her when you meet her. She still has a shy dispoisition and so a quiet home would suit her.

Leah - Less than 2 yrs old she has been in a kennel most of her life. She is good with dogs in the home and loves to play but she is reactive to dogs on walks. Loves all people but not a fan of cats.
She is great in the home, cheeky, playful, confident, occasionally barks at new things. Loves her toys. Can be an only dog. Just needs someone able to work with her anxiety on lead. Which is extreme.

She can get herself so worked up with anxiety about being out on walks/ on lead etc that she needs a very confident adult handler and will need work ongoing.

The reward she gives you is way worth all the work and for those interested in training and helping dogs with their issues she is a wonderful pet project <3

We suggest anyone interested comes to meet her and take her on walks here to build up her confidence and taking things slowly.

She loves her life here we just need to teach her to feel safe elsewhere.

Chubby - not so chubby - medium sized boy who is very sweet and nice natured - great with dogs - from the streets of Romania so just needs some time to adjust as a UK pet.

Lucky is covered in old wounds from a tough life in Romania - only medium sized, slim build and a lovely boy. He was continuously dumped in the middle of nowhere and every time managed to find his way home. His owner pitched up at a private shelter and asked our Romanian contact to take him which luckily she did. He is great with dogs and people.

Juniper - a 3 year old sensitive boy who needs to be placed with another dog. He had a terrible start in life in Romania and although we rescued him as a puppy his nervousness hasn't ever left him. He needs a quiet calm home with someone who will adore him. Like so many we have had over the years he's completely gentle, so loving and perfect with dogs and cats. He is never snappy, very sweet and will reward someone so much - one of my all time favourites.

Blossom - one of the saddest abuse cases we have seen. No history but this girls fear says it all. She is awaiting a cruciate operation but it would be good to get a home so she can recover from that somewhere other than the rescue. She takes a while to trust, we can only imagine what must have happened but she trust women more than men, is good with other dogs, we wouldnt place with children because of her nervousness but she has never been aggressive. She is a large girl who is coming along beautifully and learning to be happy - but she needs someone patient who will help teach her the rest of the world outside of D4R is not a scary place any more.

Milo - the staff x with the softest most beautiful coloured unique coat in the world. He is a fantastic friendly boy who would love to be placed with another dog - preferably a bossy female one actually. He likes being the under dog and knowing someone is in charge. He was saved 5 years ago from death row and his only issue is that he is still anxious around his food bowl. He will guard it if not managed correctly. We've never seen the issue with him and have known him a long time. Otehrwise he's an absolute beautiful gem. He is what i would call bomb proof with other dogs but he can get anxious on the lead and sometimes react to some that make him nervous. A very kind, loving, gentle soul who needs someone who understands him and his quirks - he will reward you a million fold

Gyp - one of the kindest, sweetest, gentlest young dogs you could meet who has only 3 legs. You cannot begin to imagine the misery this boy faced in Romania where he was beaten and both back legs were broken. He was covered in mange and starved to the bones when he was rescued. He is great with other dogs. He is today one of the happiest boys we have ever known and all he wants is love and kindness. He completley breaks my heart - but for him now he is happy!

Remember, there is no pressure for your adoption to work out. We’re happy to offer a foster or trial and although we hope you’ll find a match made in heaven a full, lifetime, rescue backup applies.

Home checks and adoption fee also apply. Dogs cost between £150 and £300 depending upon the individual dog.

The Specials

These are some of the most precious dogs who need extra special people who are able to help them overcome some of their fears. They deserve a chance just as much as the others and we hope you can look through and see if anyone may suit as they are all very different.

We are always open and honest about each dog we place.

Jack. This boy has come further than any dog we have ever worked with. 3 years with us he was completely feral and untouchable for the first year. Then it was slow progress but by year 2 he was homeable . He struggled with confidence when out on lead but has managed to enjoy his walks like a normal dog from here and in a foster home. Sadly he reverted back on one trial and so it took some time to get his confidence back up. He's so incredibly loving, gentle, clever, cheeky and we adore him but he's massively overlooked. He's only 4 at most but seems a lot younger. He's fantastic with dogs and has helped us turn around many a deemed "aggressive" dog. We love this boy - he deserves the best he's waited so long, been so patient and so brave. Not a difficult dog loves other dogs, people etc just shy and people mustn't get complacent and forget his feral past. He is unsure of cats.

Bram. Starting with his good points. He loves cuddling, is perfectly clean in the home. He has no separation issues and is a real dream of a dog to be around but this boy has been confusing. He is great here with all people,with cats, dogs etc but has been out in different homes on fosters and trials. Some he has been brilliant, no issue, others he's ok for a while and then can be anxious with visitors and when he gets over excited he appears to become overwhelmed and can bark and snap in his confusion of what to do. He has been with us 7 months and no issue at the rescue with people or dogs. He can also exhibit this behaviour when out on a walk if walked near things that frighten him like lorries etc when he cant get away he circles and nips with anxiety. He needs a calm home, with limited stimulus of new people and someone understanding and able to spot what an signs of stress or potential reactivity is. Anyone up for a challenge with a wonderful, loving, clever young boy this one's for you.

Danny - this golden retriever cross looking boy is so sweet and like a normal loyal pet once he knows you. Upon first meeting he barks out of fear (and will do to strangers until he's trained people no longer are going to hurt him and it does unnerve people). This needs work. He's a lovely, playful boy great in the home, no separation issues, house clean and gets on fantastically with the other dogs. He loves his walks he would be better placed with another dog.
