Meet Oscar

Oscar is a sweet boy looking for his forever home where he can enjoy
love, companionship, and the exercise he deserves.

Oscar currently lives happily with another dog (a miniature poodle named
Tilly) and has also had regular visits from a chihuahua friend, even for
a few days at a time. He generally gets along well with other
dogs—although when meeting new ones on walks, he can be a little vocal
and will bark until he’s had a proper sniff and gets comfortable. With
familiar dogs, he’s relaxed and content.

Cats are still an unknown for Oscar, so a careful introduction and
supervision would be needed if there are cats in his new home.

This boy enjoys his walks and would benefit from more regular exercise
than he’s been getting. He’s used to walking on-lead, though he does get
excited when spotting other dogs and may pull towards them for a sniff.
He hasn’t been given the chance to explore life off-leash, so his recall
will need some work in a safe environment.

Oscar hasn’t had formal obedience training, but he’s eager for attention
and would thrive with some gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.
He’s comfortable being left home alone for periods and travels well in
the car, making him a great companion for outings and adventures.

At home, Oscar has enjoyed free access indoors and loves being close to
his people. He’s not overly fond of being brushed or groomed, so his new
family will need to help him build confidence with that over time.

Oscar is a loyal and loving boy with lots of potential. With the right
family to give him structure, companionship, and exercise, he’ll make a
wonderful best friend.

Meet Tilly

Tilly is a gentle, easygoing girl who loves both her walks and her couch
time. She’s equally happy joining you on an outing or curling up at home
for a nap.

Tilly is very dog-friendly. She has lived with Oscar (a terrier) for
years and has also shared her home with a regular visiting chihuahua, so
she’s used to having canine company around. On walks, she usually greets
new dogs with a friendly sniff and is quick to make friends—though she
might give a little bark to back up Oscar if he kicks things off first!

She hasn’t been tested with cats, but her calm nature suggests she’d
approach new situations thoughtfully.

On lead, Tilly is steady and well-mannered, making walks enjoyable. She
hasn’t had the chance to explore life off-leash, so recall training will
be something for her new family to work on in safe spaces. She hasn’t
done formal obedience training, but she’s a willing companion who just
wants to be close to her people.

Tilly travels well in the car—making her a great match for families who
like to take their dog along on adventures.

At home, she’s used to being inside with her family and having the
option of popping out to the yard when needed. Most of all, she enjoys
being part of the household and close to her humans.

Tilly is a sweet, adaptable girl who will fit beautifully into a loving
family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s just as happy
strolling beside you as she is snoozing on the sofa, Tilly might be your
perfect match.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped,
wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals,
surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm
testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If
a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
