About Cecil and Lady
Cecil 💙
Nervous, hilarious and loving
Cecil is a nervy guy and has experimented with growling and snapping when he feels pressure or doesn’t want to do something.
For this reason, he’ll really benefit from a strong leader and professional training. This will also help him with future challenges such as vet visits and grooming.
Cecil was quite challenging at the vet during his recent visit but was absolutely no problem when I was in the room to guide him.
Once this relationship is established with Cecil, he is so loving and funny!!
He loves to please and is an absolute dream to train.
He also loves a cuddle and will throw himself into you and loves sleeping on his back.
Lady 💗
Sweet, silly and determined!
Lady is quiet and reserved but can be bold when she wants to be! She chases after our big dogs in the garden, takes on the magpies and loves a rough and tumble with her brother.
She has responded well to learning obedience and manners at home but is much more persistent than Cecil when it comes to basic manners like jumping up on guests.
She’s is reserved at first but will end up zooming around and making you laugh in no time. She also really enjoys a cuddle on the couch and wins the hearts of everyone who meets her.
Lady guards food from Cecil which can sometimes look like snapping and lunging but can also be more subtle in which case Cecil will simply not eat. So they are best fed apart from each other until this can be addressed with training.
MORE INFORMATION ON THEM BOTH
When they first come into care Cecil would pester Lady trying to mount her and needed a lot of guidance, but this was quickly resolved with training and will likely be less of a problem now that they are desexed.
Cecil frequently marks inside the house but this has improved significantly again with training and we easily manage it when he can’t be watched with belly bands.
Both of the dogs love to run and play, they love their food and they love the company of humans and polite dogs.
They get along very well with each other and love to cuddle in bed and sunbathe together.
They settle very well without their humans as well as in a pen/laundry/crate.
They love going on walks too. While in foster we’ve put work into loose lead walking as well as Lady’s brief era of lunging at cyclists.
Cecil and Lady require the following in a new home
- Continued training to ensure Cecil doesn't regress with his nervy behaviours.
- To be fed apart from one another and other animals.
- If other dogs are in the home they are desexed and of similar size.
- Continue support and managing Lady's toileting so it doesn't regress.
- Owners that understand they maybe timid when they first meet them and may take time to get to know other family, friends and visitors

Adoption details
Please note- we do not work on a first in best dressed basis. We assess all applications to choose the home that we believe will best match the animals needs.
If you believe one of our animals would be a good match for your home, please send us a detailed email with some information about the people and any other animals in your home, as well as the type of lifestyle you can offer a new rescue pet.
We are volunteers who run the rescue around families, paid employment and other commitments so your patience is appreciated.
We do require you to travel to meet the animal you are looking to adopt. For dog adoptions, any other dogs in your home must attend the meet and greet, this enables us to assess their compatibility and helps prevent them being returned and creating more confusion/insecurities for the foster animal.
We reserve the right to refuse the adoption if we don't believe it's a good match for our animals.
All our animals are available for a fully refundable 2 week trial period. If you ever find yourself unable to care for, or keep your pet, please contact us and they will come back into our care, or we will do our best to assist you in finding them a suitable new home, this is a condition that you agree to when signing our Adoption Agreement.
