![]() Breed: LurcherContact: Lisa SamsonEmail: rehome@jrwhippetrescue.ukTel: 07990 582053Website: https://whippetrescue.org.uk/Date Added: 23 May 2026 | SOX History: Sox came into our care at a young age due to the ill health of his owner and through no fault of his own. We were told that he is a Whippet x Greyhound. He is currently in foster care in Essex, but we rehome all over the UK. Description: Sox is a typical young lurcher, full of energy and with a zest for life. He was born on 28/08/2025. He has the most fabulous temperament with people and other dogs. He can be a little exuberant, jumping up for cuddles and kisses when meeting new people / dogs, but there isn't a bad bone in his body. He is very food driven which helps with training and he is so eager to please. He already knows, 'sit', 'paw', 'down' and 'catch'. His recall is also coming on really well. Rehoming Criteria: We feel an active home will be best for Sox and he could really thrive doing something like agility or flyball with an adopter who is willing to put the training in. He needs a home with a secure garden to enjoy (minimum 6ft fencing). He would like an active home where he won't be left alone for too long and can enjoy relaxing on the sofa. He previously lived in a home with a small dog, and we feel he could live with other dogs again, providing they don't mind his bouncy lurcher personality. He can be homed with sensible dog savvy children over the age of 10. Due to his young age, he isn't neutered yet, but this will be a condition of his adoption contract, and we will cover the cost for him to be done once he is old enough. You can see a video and more details about him on website or Facebook.Child friendly: YesCat friendly: NoAge: 9 months oldSex: DogNeutered: NoVaccinated: YesMicro-chipped: YesFlea/Wormed: YesCost: P.O.A.Where dog can be seen: Essex EN9 (map) |
![]() Breed: Terrier x Spaniel Contact: Gilly Minnican, Stroud GL6 8AD (map)Tel: 07980 934164Website: www.starfishdogrescue.co.uk Date Added: 4 May 2026 | HATTIE History: Hattie is an absolutely beautiful young girl who came into our care just over a week ago after being found straying on a main road alongside little Finn. Sadly, neither dog was claimed during their time in the pound, and with no microchip, we can only estimate her age and breeds— but judging by her gleaming white teeth and overall condition, we believe she is no older than 12 months. In her foster home, Hattie has settled in her foster home brilliantly. She was initially cautious around the resident dogs, but within a week they are now happily playing, eating, and relaxing together.Description: From day one, Hattie has shown what a loving and people-focused little dog she is. She was so happy to leave kennels behind, and her tail hasn’t stopped wagging since! She adores human company — if there’s a lap available, Hattie will find it. She’s a real cuddle bug and thrives on affection.
The only sad clue to her past is the fur loss around her neck, which suggests she may have been tethered outside. Despite this, she hasn’t let it affect her gentle and affectionate nature. She clearly understands dog communication well — her foster carers describe her as a dog who “reads the room.” If another dog corrects her, she listens and responds appropriately.
Out on walks, she is polite and slightly cautious with other dogs, but her main focus is always people. She’s a real social butterfly and would happily make friends with everyone she meets. Hattie travels well in the car and settles nicely. She is nearly there with house training, with just a few occasional accidents as she continues to learn. She sleeps soundly in a crate in the bedroom overnight and has been left for short periods without any issues.Rehoming Criteria: All in all, Hattie is a happy, affectionate young dog with huge potential. She is still finding her feet at times, which is completely understandable, but she is eager to learn and very people-oriented. She would be a fantastic candidate for training activities such as agility or other dog sports.
Due to her likely breed mix, Hattie will need an active home that can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. She is not a “quick walk around the park” type of dog — she will thrive with someone who wants to truly engage with their dog and make her part of their lifestyle.

Playing with Aunty Jane this was the first day she arrived you can see why she would be great for agility.

![]() Breed: Border CollieContact: Hannah Ward, Thorleu Farm, Hedingham Road, Wethersfield, Braintree, Essex CM7 4EP (map)Tel: 0300 111 4321Website: https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/Date Added: 28 Apr 2026 | REX History: Rex has been rehomed twice now to normal pet dog homes, but both homes have struggled with his typical collie traits and haven't been able to meet his needs. He came into our care from another charity, so we don't know much about his history prior to this.
Description: Rex is a young, long-haired black and white collie. He's medium size and is a great example of his breed. He loves to to 'work' and is incredibly play/ toys driven, most notably tennis balls but, if those aren't available, he will play with almost anything. He loves to be challenged and to be rewarded with play. Rex is friendly with people, but typical to the breed, he can show subtle signs of under-confidence at times. He has previously shown reactivity to other dogs, but this is something we've been working on at the rescue. He's been easily manageable and typically shows very little interest in dogs after a polite hello. He just wants to get on and play ball.
Rex has learnt all kinds of tricks and skills since being with us and picks new things up super quickly. In prevous homes, he has bitten when mishandled/ frustrated but any bites have been superficial scratches with teeth that have caused no injuries. Rex can be reactive to other dogs and moving vehicles. We are currently working on building drive and motivation for toys and play to use for his training, and he has been really responsive with handlers so far. Rehoming Criteria: Rex would love an agility/ sport home with collie-experienced owners as he enjoys these kinds of activities so much, but this isn't essential for the right home. He really wants a family who are going to do things with him, i.e. dog sports or training. He is very capable and has so much potential. He can do anything he puts his mind to. He can equally switch off in the home and isn't the kind of dog who will be pestering you for walks all the time. He has a good level of independence. He has so much potential. It would truly be an awful shame for him to go back into a pet home where his breed specific needs aren't met or understood. Due to his history, we would prefer an adult only home, but we would consider older teenagers for the right home i.e. grown up with herding breeds/ good understanding of dog body language. Rex could potentially live with a cat, pending a successful cat test. Please reach out if interested. We really want to find Rex his forever home!Child friendly: NoCat friendly: YesAge: 1 1/2 yearsSex: DogNeutered: YesVaccinated: YesMicro-chipped: YesFlea/Wormed: YesCost: P.O.A.Where dog can be seen: Wethersfield, Essex CM7 4EP (map) |
