Brody came from a loving home but he was too much for his elderly owner. He's been with me on a foster and train placement for the past few months. I'm hoping to get him into an experienced collie home, ideally a sport home. He's had absolutely no interest from anyone suitable which is such a shame as he's a genuinely lovely dog with loads of potential.

Brody is the best of both worlds type of dog - driven and full of energy outdoors but quiet and calm in the house. He has a great off switch and settles well both in and out of the crate. He's one of the most affectionate dogs I've ever met, loves a cuddle and will want to be near you all the time - but also is fine to be left home alone. Great toy drive and food drive, will enthusiastically work for food even around heavy distractions. He has the following behaviours reliable both on and off lead: - Heel, recall from distractions, place, sits and downs with implied stays and emergency stop. And the following skills applicable to sport:= - A marker system of 4 reward-specific and location-specific markers - Forward focus/source focus - Pivot work/rear end awareness - Play skills including tugging, targeting, retrieve to hand, and an out/drop Brody is crate-trained and has no separation issues. He travels quietly in the car, and has no health issues. Full disclosure: He has a bite history from before his training and rehabilitation with me. The touch aversion which led to that is no longer an issue. I've done loads of handling work with him and got him to the point where he even let me pick up his cut paw while he was in pain, with no issues at all. He also has various co-operative care skills now for grooming etc. The only remaining issue is some testiness when loose with certain intact males and he particularly hates my male dog, but he's completely neutral on lead around all dogs including mine (and even when being rushed by rude dogs) and has been successfully loose with females.

Brody is perfectly behaved with me now and an absolute dream, but he needs an experienced home to prevent him regressing into the behavioural issues he came to me with. All are now resolved but of course behaviour modification isn't a one and done thing, it needs to be maintained. He could be homed with a male dog if you're smart about it. With the right handler committed to maintaining his training and structure, he'd do great and I'm sure he'd cope fine with the competition environment.

Very sadly I am looking for a new home for my dog Spice. Due to my disability, I’m finding that she’s too full on.

Spice is a beautiful, slender build, small/ medium size black and white girl. She’s full of energy and has done agility previously. She’s had training and knows all the commands. Spice is good with dogs/cats and loves people and children. She’s crate trained but prefers cuddles on sofa. She loves the car and will remain in it until she’s told to come. When it comes to her food, she won’t touch it until she’s told she may have it and then she will eat it.

I would love Spice to go to someone who can give her time and carry on her agility training. Would prefer one to one as she will give full attention to you. Can be seen at my home.

Winter was rescued from a pound in Spain by DogWatch UK and brought to foster in the West Midlands in early April 2025. She was found as a puppy but no other history is known. She is well socialised due to spending time in the pound. No behavioural problems have been noted by foster carers. She is fully vaccinated and tested for diseases.

Winter is a medium to large -sized dog with a beautiful black coat. She has an athletic build and is extremely quick. She is able to jump fences and jump up on to high platforms. She has white specks on her face which we think earned her the name 'Winter'. Winter is very loving and enjoys the company of all adults, children and other dogs. She is very playful and inquisitive but doesn't really like cats. Winter is highly intelligent and has learned a lot in a short space of time. She is good on the lead, she can sit, wait and shake a paw. She is also crate-trained. Winter is submissive with other dogs and rolls over. She loves nothing more than a belly rub and is very affectionate in return!

Due to her intelligent nature and natural athleticism, we think she would be an excellent agilty dog. She just wants to please and will be a very loyal companion. Winter needs a home where she gets sufficient exercise and attention. She would be happy with children and other dogs, but could also be housed as an only dog. We don't think she would be suitable to house with cats. Foster carers can also bring dog for viewings within 1 hour radius.
