Our volunteers have been very busy lately sorting out our online auction. This is always a very exciting time because not only do you have the chance to grab lots of lovely items: normally anything from dog collars to holidays abroad and in the UK but because you'll be helping raise money for us to save more dogs from death row. Please watch this space for more information next week.

Morse

Ziggy

Have you considered a lurcher or a sighthound as a pet? They do make the most wonderful companions and don't need as much exercise as you would think - obviously they are all different and some are more active than others so it is worth doing your research on your chosen dog first!

When Morse first came into our care he was suffering from a terrible case of mange and had barely any hair. With lots of medicated baths, plenty of tlc and lovely grub Morse now looks like this. We are expecting him to be about greyhound size as so far all he seems to do is grow!!

If you prefer a scruffy then perhaps Ziggy is for you. He is a bundle of fun and can't be accused of being a couch potato. We think he is about 2 years old and is a lovely, friendly boy. Do you have space in your home for this great companion?

Zac

Zac is a whippet. He is about a year old and is perfect. No, really, he is. He walks well on the lead, is housetrained in his foster home, sleeps quietly at night, gets on well with other dogs and loves people.

We don't know what these dogs are like around around cats but given that they are all sighthounds care will have to be taken around both cats and small furries as they do love to chase!

They are all looking for a homes and we don't allow adoptions to take place too close to Christmas so get your forms in now!!

When adopting a dog from us you will need to register your interest with an application form for your chosen dog (the link to the form is found on each dog's rehoming thread).

If you are successful with your first choice we will arrange a meeting between you and the dog initially. When you already have a dog a second meeting will probably be arranged where the dogs can meet just to check that they like each other. After this one of our volunteers will pop over and carry out a homecheck and meet everyone who lives in your home - because our volunteers are exactly that it may take a few days or even weeks before someone becomes available in your area to undertake the check so please bear with us.

If the homecheck is a 'pass' you will be able to collect your new companion after paying your non-refundable adoption donation to the fosterer. Sometimes, especially with younger dogs there will be certain conditions that have to be applied at adoption, such as training classes and if your pet is under 6 months old neutering will have to be arranged at your own expense.

Your new pet would have received his/her vaccinations, flea treatment and worming. If they are 6 months or over we would have arranged for them to be neutered at our expense.

With any rescue dog their new owners must be prepared to continue with training and have plenty of time and patience while settling them in to their new surroundings.
