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.

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.

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!

Pru went to a couple whom we did a home visit with. They were the ones Pru absolutely fell for. It was an immediate bond which... tbh meant more than the sport at the time. The couple have had sleep overs with her, and it couldn't have been a better match. They have a agreed to take Pru to agilit and luckly there is an agility training ground just down the road. They took her into their work today and she charmed the boss and everyone else.... Hes house training is complete with a four day streak, She mastered leash training and her seperation time was calm and well established.She's met other dogs and responded well on walks. Her new vet appointment is tonight to see if shes gained any weight. The house was clean, well-loved and beautifully decorated. The old dog bed lay in the corner with a big photograph and a small urn so their previous friend still thought about on a daily basis. A box full of his toys untouched next to it. They were happy for Pru to have the toys and to have the old dog bed. Lots of tears were shed today. I'm glad I could be a part of Pru's journey and the new owners, too.I have zero concerns or worries. They took on everything that i said and picked up her training techniques quickly. The introduction to the rest of the family was successful and Pru quickly has became the favourite.
