Willow is an eight-month-old doodle crossbreed. She's described as a 'complex little girl' who has been passed from place to place, which has left her quite insecure. Willow will benefit from experienced owners and owners keen to get behavioural support/attend training classes to help build her confidence. Willow is very worried when away from her owners which will need to be carefully managed during her settling period. She warms to people quickly with a gentle approach and is very affectionate. She is very playful with dogs and could live with a very steady playful adult dog who won't be unsettled by her behaviour.

Indiana, aged six-and-a-half months, is the sanctuary's newest arrival, and best suited to a home keen for adventuring and exploring. He is a young boy, so puppy training classes are essential to his rehoming. He is a bright boy who is already learning manners. Indiana is best suited to a family that has some experience with young and boisterous dogs. He could live with children aged 12+ providing they are keen to get involved with his training.
