Each year thousands of unwanted dogs end up in rescue centres, many because of their high energy levels. As this is a quality we value in agility, we believe many would make super agility dogs. So if you are looking for another agility dog, think about giving one of these dogs a second chance. We promise to keep a dog on this page for at least six weeks or until we hear that it has been rehomed. Whenever possible we will let you know where the dog has gone via the Happy Endings page. If you have a dog that you think would make a good agility or flyball dog, you can add it to the page direct by using the online entry form here. Dogs must have a photo to be listed. All we ask is that you let us know when the dog has been rehomed as there are many more dogs waiting to be listed.

This is a free service to private individuals who cannot cope with their dogs any more for whatever reason and for rescue organisations. Please note that while this is a free service, rescue organisations may ask for a standard donation to continue their work.

Working with our friends at Rescue Dogs for Agility Homes UK to find happy homes for active dogs.

NARLA
History:
Meet Narla. She's a bright and loving Labrador x GSD who is ready for her Forever Home. She is currently being fostered in Devon in adult family home with other dogs and visiting grandchildren.
Description:
Narla, a delightful 5-month-old Labrador x German Shepherd mix, has captured our hearts during her time in foster care in Devon. Her journey with us began through no fault of her own, transitioning from her first family's home to our foster carers. Upon arrival, it was clear Narla hadn't been exposed to much of the world, but her resilience and eagerness to learn have been nothing short of inspiring. Each new experience has been met with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. From timidly navigating town walks to romping freely with other dogs, Narla has blossomed into a confident explorer. What truly sets Narla apart is her endearing temperament. Though a bit exuberant in the mornings before her walk, she quickly settles —albeit one with a penchant for gardening among the flowerpots. She would be perfect for agility. Walking through town not a problem https://youtube.com/shorts/WPF-PGM5Owg?si=i3O2UjvXcA5-e_mh Greeting new friends https://youtube.com/shorts/hwU83BlwTlc?si=XBzOGsasJKpIyaxH Her recall is impeccable—spending a day at the beach with our visiting grandchildren off-leash was a joyous testament to her trust and adaptability. Even the sight of joggers doesn't ruffle her calm demeanor. Loves her walks https://youtube.com/shorts/fd9tm7VGyyo?si=wPS-itXy_QHlihzo https://youtube.com/shorts/B99VsE23M7U?si=5-U0Z4yuF94Gy876 Ignoring the jogger https://youtube.com/shorts/M5WXza5b_7s?si=BljvBzNEFYE-VsX9 Narla's love for companionship shines brightest when she's with other dogs, especially her playmate Betty. Their antics are a daily highlight. Playing with Betty https://youtu.be/hJLFxapgdXM?si=5MjcRn_FJuz95l0x Her day at the beach loving life https://youtube.com/shorts/nRvYimK6WDY?si=c_JIXwOQUIEVyWX5 https://youtube.com/shorts/PO6mpyT8oPs?si=j1jB9_vfedBJs91s Loves joining in with the grandchildren https://youtube.com/shorts/1iXZCOIoIDQ?si=F5JMaubiAq9fgA2f Incredibly bright and trainable, Narla is eager to please and quick to learn, as evidenced by the numerous videos showcasing her progress. She's poised to become a wonderful companion for the right family—a family that understands her need for continued training and exposure to the world. Narla travels well, sleeps in a crate in the kitchen with others, is fine being left for a few hours and is house trained.
Rehoming Criteria:
We're looking for a forever home that matches Narla's enthusiasm for life. She thrives with engagement and activity, making her ideal for someone committed to ongoing training and plenty of outdoor adventures. Narla isn't just a dog; she's a potential best friend waiting for the perfect match. If you're seeking a loyal companion and have the time and dedication to nurture her bright spirit, Narla could be the missing piece to your family puzzle. An environment with another dog or dogs for company would be ideal, although not mandatory. She is fully vaccinated, chipped, worm/fleaed - too young to be spayed you will be expected to do this as part of the adoption agreement when she has finished growing. We will not home her with entire dogs. If you can match what she is getting now or better it you are the right match for her and we look forward to hearing from you - you can email us and we will send our questionnaire so we can find out more about you at starfishdogrescue@hotmail.co.uk

WINNIE
History:
West Yorkshire Dog Rescue has had Winnie in our care for two years because we have been waiting for the right home. A lot of work has been put into her to make her the fabulous dog she is today. She has lived in the same dedicated foster home and is well socialised with dogs - she lives with two neutered males - adults and children and has been walked out and about around town and country, sat about in pubs and cafes and loves to travel in the car. When the foster went on holiday, she went to professional boarding kennels and was very well-behaved.
Description:
As Winnie stands 33cm at the shoulder, we believe this little girl is suitable for Small dog Agility or Flyball. She is ball obsessed, she will 'play fetch' endlessly and is very fast. She has been over agility jumps, loves the A-frame and will go through the tunnel, but she's not confident through weaving poles. She is exceptionally fit and has a lot of muscle. Currently her daily walks consists of one hour off lead in a rented 'freedom field' and four additional, shorter walks on lead. P0lus she goes out four times a week with a dog walker around the roads in the town. She is extremely affectionate, highly intelligent and a very quick learner. Her fur grows very fast, but she is easy to bath and brush at home. but is nervous about being trimmed so needs regular sessions with a kind, experienced, professional dog groomer who can get her used to this. She occasionally displays resource guarding of toys and food by growling at the two dogs she lives with, but they simply ignore her. Winnie is lovely to live with, sleeps on various dog beds scattered around the house and doesn’t climb on the furniture. She is housetrained if taken out regularly. She walks very nicely on the lead, loves everyone she meets and doesn’t react to anything.
Rehoming Criteria:
Winnie needs fit, active, experienced owners where she will have a dog sport such as agility, flyball or obedience. She must be kept indoors as a pet and not kept outside in kennels. She is very good with children, but her occasional resource guarding would make her unsuitable for all but the most experienced and confident kids. She would not be suitable for a home where both partners work full time. She needs someone who has got time for her and who can take her out regularly through the day. Her new home must be within 100 miles of West Yorkshire. If you are interested, please go to the Yorkshire Dog Rescue website and look at dogs needing homes. You can apply at the end of her advert. Please mention Agilitynet. You can see her her foster home which has good facilities for viewing.
