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.

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
History:
Pru came from a working farm in Wales in 2024. She proved to be too energetic for a family home. Her previous house was noisy, and there was a definite lack of rules. The family was kind and loving, but they did not have enugh time for her. She is now being fostered by me and is currently in rehab training for basics.
Description:
Pru is a stunning Border Collie with classic white sox. She is fast to learn and friendly though sometimes overly friendly or overly submissive. She enjoys working and exploring new commands. This dog is perfect for agility. She is quick and enjoys jumping. We are working on long range commands and hand signals. Can hold focus and is treat orientated. Has a love for fun. Communicates well but she's still has teenager tantrums and chat back. Pru still has issues with house training, her off switch, recall and boundaries. She can be skittish and flighty. She is small and slightly underweight so currently on high calorie diet. She has no food allergies, skin conditions or health issues. Good teeth.
Rehoming Criteria:
Pru will need high energy activities and long fun walks. Can possibly be rehomed with other dogs. She's not a fan of loud children and needs a calm home environment. Will need continued training and encouragement. We are putting in as much foundational training as we can so she has the best foot forward. I believe this one has strong potential to be something incredible. High potential for agility!

SULA
History:
Sula belonged to my son and daughter in law who moved to Bali a few months ago so she came to live with me.
Description:
Sula is a playful, friendly and enthusiastic, tan and white, wire haired JRT. She measures 170mm A4A so will be KC micro. I have been doing agility training with her for the last few months and we are currently working on skills, contacts and 2 x 2 weaves - all of which she is showing great enthusiasm and aptitude for. She competed in an unaffiliated steeplechase a few weeks ago and came 2nd. Sadly she doesn’t get along with one of my Borderpaps (although she is best friends with the other one) which is why I am regretfully looking to rehome her. I can send videos upon request. She has never lived with cats but is used to small children.
Rehoming Criteria:
Sula would love an active home and would be better with male dogs or bigger female dogs with whom she is very submissive. She can be dominant with some small female dogs.
