DOGS FROM PENNYBURN POUND AT BOTTOM OF PAGE


Name: SCOOBY - SPECIAL APPEAL
Description:

This is a SPECIAL APPEAL for "SCOOBIE" a Boxer / Lab cross aged just over 1 year old. Young "Scoobie" has been passed from pillar to post in his short life. When "Scoobie" came into the centre we were as far as we could work out the 8th home "Scoobie" had been moved to within a few months - through no fault of his own. He has been with us now for some time and he is not coping very well in a kennel environment. He is losing weight through stress so he is in desperate need of a loving, stable and PERMANENT forever home. The next home "Scoobie" has must be his forever home, it would be very unfair on him and unsettling to be moved around again. This poor boy doesn't know where he belongs. He has an excellent temperament. He is affectionate, playful and he loves walks. He gets on well with most other dogs but he does not like cats. He has a very sweet nature. He can be boisterous at times but he is still a pup and could be easily worked with. He would make a very loving pet. If you could offer "Scoobie" the forever home he needs and deserves then please get in touch with the centre during opening hours on 71812882 or better still go visit the big man down there......anyone interested please keep in mind it is important you are 150% committed to offering this boy a permanent forever home.....

Name: ALFIE
Description:

Alfie is a beautiful male Collie pup aged approx 3/4 months old. This young boy was found last friday evening tied up to a shed near the centre by a young volunteer. He is a very affectionate and friendly little man who is better off away from whoever abandoned him and he is now looking for a loving new home with a family that deserve him.


Name: SPECIAL APPEAL - ROXY & RUDY
Description:

Rudy and Roxy are two stunning Japanese Akitas aged approx 4 / 5 years. This pair spent almost 2 years in the centre before being rehomed last year but unfortunately due to a change in their new owners' personal circumstances they were unable to keep the dogs so they have been returned to the centre and are looking for a new and permanent home. They are extremely close so they must be homed together. They love each other but they are not fussed on other dogs or cats. They are very loving and affectionate and they adore walks and play time. We are really hoping that for their sakes they will not have to spend another 2 years in the centre waiting on an offer of a home.....Potential new owners must have experience with large breeds.


Name: RUSTY
Description:

Rusty is an adorable and quite unusual Lurcher cross aged approx 6 months old. He is a real character with a fantastic temperament. He is extremely loving and affectionate. He enjoys walks and a good carry on. He would make a brilliant pet.


Name: RAFFLES
Description:

Raffles is a male middle-aged Terrier cross who was abandoned in a yard when his owner moved house. He has clearly been neglected for some time as his coat is badly matted and he is very underweight. He is unsure of his new surroundings and it takes him some time to trust people. He is a happy wee man but he will need an experienced owner with no young children.


Name: PEDRO
Description:

Pedro is a beautiful little tan and white mini Jack Russell aged approx 4 years old. He is a very loving and affectionate wee man. He gets on well with some other dogs. He loves to play with toys but he can be toy possessive so he would not be suitable for a home with young children and would be best suited to an experienced owner.


Name: JIM
Description:

Jim is a Collie, aged approximately 14 months. He has recovered very well from a broken leg. We have been going for gentle walks for 2 weeks now and he is doing very well on lead training. . He is now house-trained and gets on very well with other dogs. He has learnt how to play with his toys, at first he didn't know he could. He is affectionate, friendly and eager to please. Jim likes children, though I would suggest caution with very young children. He wouldn't mean them any harm, just doesn't realise how energetic he can be. He will make a great companion.
Jim is currently in a foster home. Contact the centre for details.


Name: MINK
Description:

Mink is a very beautiful young female Greyhound / Lurcher aged just under 1 year old. She is a very shy and timid little lady and can be quite fearful of strangers, sudden movements and noises she is unfamiliar with but with some socialisation she will soon gain confidence. She is very gentle and she loves the company of other dogs so it will be important for her to have the company of another dog in her new home as she is much more confident and playful when she is in the company of another dog. She is also learning that it is ok to interact and come for cuddles and treats from staff at the centre through observing the other dogs behaviour. She would make a wonderful pet.


Name: LEXIE
Description:

Lexie is a young Black Lab cross aged approx 1 year old. She is very clever and learns fast. She is very loving and playful. She is good with other dogs. She is very active and alert, loves tearing around fields and she loves to fetch tennis ball. Jumps up so small kids may be knocked over but very trainable so this could be sorted. She would love agility or similar. She is not good with cats or chickens.
She would suit an active household and would make a great pet.


Name: ARNIE
Description:

Arnie is a very handsome Black Lab aged under 2 years. He is extremey friendly. He loves cuddles, walks and to play. He gets on well with most other dogs but not all. He is a strong big boy who will require an active owner.


Name: MOLLY MOE BEN & SUE
Description:

Molly, Moe, Ben and Sue are 4 adorable pups who were taken in from the pound last week. They are only about 5 weeks old. Their mother was apparently a Collie but it is unknown what they are crossed with. They are very small at present but may grow to Collie size when adult. The centre will hold onto these wee babes for another week or so but they can be booked in the meantime to go to new homes.


Name: TOTES

Totes is an adorable small female Jack Russell. She is approx 10 months old. She is extremely loving. She gets on well with other dogs also. She would make a fantastic family pet.
