![]() Breed: Toy Poodle Contact: Gilly Minnican GL6 8AD (map)Tel: 07980 934164Website: www.starfishdogrescue.co.uk Date Added: 19 Jul 2026 | PIXIE History: Pixie came into our care due to sad personal circumstances. It is obvious that she has been a much-loved little dog. She is confident, happy and full of the joys of spring – exactly as a one-year-old dog should be. She has settled into foster care almost immediately and has taken everything in her stride. Pixie gets on well with the other dogs and, although she was initially a little barky with the bigger ones, it was simply because they were unfamiliar. It didn't take her long to realise they were friends, and she has happily become part of the gang.
Description: For such a young dog, Pixie has a lovely off-switch. After a busy day playing with her canine friends, exploring the woods on walks and enjoying her toys, she is more than happy to curl up on the sofa with her foster family and relax for the evening.
She has a wonderful little brain that deserves to be used, and we think she would love to live with another playful dog who enjoys having fun as much as she does.Rehoming Criteria: Pixie is a bright, intelligent little dog. Like so many Toy Poodles, she is capable of so much more than simply being a lap dog. We are looking for an active home who will enjoy sharing adventures with her, whether that's hiking, scent work, agility and/or training classes. Another dog to play with would be perfect for her.Child friendly: YesCat friendly: NoAge: 12 monthsSex: BitchNeutered: YesVaccinated: YesMicro-chipped: YesFlea/Wormed: YesCost: P.O.A.Where dog can be seen: Devon GL6 8AD (map) |
![]() 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: 25 Jun 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) |
