Boston was adopted as a young puppy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He has grown up with a British Diplomat in Addis Ababa for three years and then DR Congo briefly before he was evacuated at short notice due to unrest. He arrived in the UK on 7th February 2025 and has been settling in well. I will have to return to DR Congo to complete my role so I am looking for short to medium term options for his care. Given difficulties getting him evacuated and the ongoing volatility of DR Congo it is in Boston's best interests to stay in the UK. He is fully up to date with vaccines, currently takes some anti-anxiety medicine to help manage the disruption he has experienced recently (3 flights and 3 countries in 2 months), and should not be homed with children. He has spent time staying short term with other dogs in their houses (labrador, mixed breed, bulldog) and plays well with other dogs off lead.

Boston is a gorgeous, slender, brown and white mixed breed dog (19.5kg). His fluffy neck harks to his Ethiopian roots in a high altitude climate. His DNA panel is currently being reviewed by Wisdom Panel and we will have more details on his genetic make up soon. He has incredible agility potential - he runs beyond fast, can jump higher than a hare, and given his mixed breed African street dog roots he is extremely intelligent. He is eager to please, very affectionate and keen to learn new skills. He loves exercising and can be very energetic, but he is also happy to curl up on your lap or next to you on the sofa to quietly pass time together. He is very loving but is also good at being left alone at home when needed - no destructive behaviours and is happy to sleep or amuse himself with enrichment toys until you get back. He has a solid basis of obedience training including giving paws and lying down. His recall needs a bit more work. He is fully house-trained and, despite his active nature, he is a pleasure around the house where he likes to spend his time being cosy and quiet - he really is not a big barker. He is crate trained and travels very well in the car. His coat needs to be groomed semi regularly due to shedding. He enjoys long walks, would enjoy running on a lead, enjoys hiking, would enjoy agility, has enjoyed kayaking before, and is a strong (if reluctant!) swimmer.

Boston needs someone willing to put the time in for exercise, enrichment, affection, continued training, and spending time together. He would be comfortable as the only pet but would also enjoy having another well-behaved dog to model his behaviour off. He would be happy as the only pet or being homed with other dog(s). He has been unpredictable in the past so should NOT be homed with children or left to freely interact with children. He can be reactive on the lead towards other dogs, but we are working on this and he has already greatly improved since six months ago.

Rover was abandoned by his owners and served his seven days in the Council pound. He is now with Pawprints Dog Rescue in Warwickshire.

We believe Rover is a Collie Kelpie X. He has utterly gorgeous markings and is a really lovely lad who is keen to learn and needs an active home. We believe the mental stimulation and activity of an agility household could be his perfect life. He has only been with the rescue a couple of weeks but, at 18 months old, he is keen to grow and learn.

We are looking for an active home that will commit the time to ongoing training and learning to keep him happy. We rehome across neighbouring counties but would consider rehoming further afield for the right home. A meet and greet can be arranged at the kennels.

Duke is currently in a home unsuitable for his requirements. The owners haven't got a clue how to deal with a collie. They don't walk him very often so he's bored off his skull, so he's started rounding up the kids. I think the owners have separated now, hence they want a new home for him.

Duke is a beautiful dog. He is a typical WSD - energetic and full of fun. He's keen and willing to learn and has a good temperament with people and dogs. My friend has walked him a few times, and she says he's very trainable.

Duke would be excellent at agility or any dog sport. He needs an experienced agility/sports home. I think be okay possibly with younger kids.

We have had George since he was 10 weeks old. Unfortunately, he has gone for both of our teenage children without being provoked so we have decided to rehome him. It has been such a heart-breaking decision, but the family comes first.

George is a black & white, short-haired Border Collie. He definitely is not a sit on the sofa dog. Most of the time, he is an all-round, good dog and he enjoys his agility every week. He loves long walks with his frisbee amongst other toys and swimming. He does the usual tricks - right and left paw, lie down, roll over, under, sit up high fives, fist bumps, kisses and hugs. He's really good off the lead at the park and in an open area. He's a typical collie on the lead pavement walking as he stalks cars and pulls on his lead. He is crate trained, too.

No children! George would be suitable to someone who knows their way around a collie as he comes from a working dog background. He’ll be three in July.
