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.

BINGO
History:
Bingo is a very friendly loyal dog who is looking for a new home due to no fault of his own. Unfortunately his human sibling has special needs and his owners are finding it harder and harder to give them both the time and attention they both need.
Description:
Bingo is a small collie at only 11kg. He is very good at learning new things. He is ball obsessed and just loves to play all day long. He can be left alone happily for up to six hours a day as long as he has toys. He is crate trained but is also happy not being in his crate. He is fine with children of all ages. He is a collie and has typical collie traits of herding. So needs a collie savy owner who understands he needs to be told what to do.
Rehoming Criteria:
Bingo needs a collie savy owner who understands his needs. Ideally only dog, unless other dog is smaller than him. He is used to living with cats and other small animals

GRACE
History:
Grace is currently in rehoming kennels in Southport. She has previously been in a home and we now know exactly what type of home she needs in order to thrive.
Description:
Grace is a fabulous dog. She is mostly white, with a cream face and spots on her nose. She and currently weighs 26kgs and could do with putting on a bit of weight. She is described as 'beautiful, smart and goofy.' She is very affectionate. She seeks people out for a fuss, and even nudges other dogs out of the way to get more cuddles. Overall, she is a very smart dog. She is very food motivated, with absolutely no food aggression. She has learned some basic commands, though her recall is still a work in progress. She would love to try any dog sport. Grace is good with people, as long as people let her come to them at her own pace. She is fine on the lead and harness, but as she doesn’t get many walks, her lead manners need to be worked on. This should be quite easy, with regular walks, and the support of our behaviour team, as needed. She is fully housetrained and sleeps quietly through the night. She shares a kennel with a younger male dog and they get on great. She loves other dogs. When she meets new dogs when out on walks, she barks and jumps around, trying to get them to play with her. There is no aggression, but she hasn’t worked out that not every dog wants to play with her. She is good in the car – she hops in, with no fear. However, she needs to be secured as she will try to get up to the front seat given half a chance.
Rehoming Criteria:
Grace will be a fabulous family dog or companion, for someone who will continue her training and give her time to settle into new surroundings and not rushed. She would be fine with dog savvy, older children, but not with young children who will rush her. She has not been tested with cats, but she has a very high prey drive in relation to birds, so we don’t think she should be rehomed with cats. If you would like to adopt or foster Grace, and understand the commitment you are making when you take on a rescue dog, please complete the form which can be found on the website or send an email. The Responsible Dog Rescue provides incredible support to all fosters and new adopters. We are a community, and we help each other. We have behaviour experts, and lots of experienced fosterers, on hand to help you. We always advise slow and supervised introductions to other pets, and of course, always have safe introductions to children. For fostering dogs, all children in the household must be at least 8 years old. For adoption, it is 5 years old. Direct access to a private, secure garden is preferred, though we will consider homes without a garden for Grace.

ROLO
History:
Rolo is currently living with her owners who have had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome this wonderful dog due to her unpredictable and uncomfortable nature around children.
Description:
Rolo weighs approx 12 kg, roughly spaniel sized. She loves adventures and the outdoors, swimming, scent work, tennis balls, training, cuddles, the beach and sleeping in front of the fire. Once she get to know someone, she can be very loving with them. No separation anxiety, is happy chilling while humans are out of the house. She has good basic training and knows all basic commands. Her recall is good. Rolo can be nervous around new people but very quick to warm to new people if space is respected upon initial introduction. She is crate trained and travels well. Loves car rides. Please see an album of videos and photos here: //photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPAuSf4rokDctGnb1IthAuXgN7uQGelIncgdrnCyegiL6_1IB4q0bRnnmb6q09vgQ?key=UVlWNkRIUDB2Zzg4Z2RnOW9nUUllNlVNVkRTalVR
Rehoming Criteria:
Active adults only. Must have dog handling experience and enjoy walking, lots of outdoors, running and/or dog training. Should be passionate about training especially agility or scent work. Ideally no other pets. However, if carefully introduced to calm, well-behaved dogs, she does enjoy their company and does well in familiar dog company. Lives with a cat so is capable of co-habiting but would require a sensible, gradual introduction. She can be unpredictable around children, but would be safe with older children (14+ years) if supervised and time is taken to gain her trust.
