Some of our Lonely hearts

Clint is a 9 month old large sized male pup who is currently fostered in Derby. Many of you will recognise him as he was rescued by us as a small pup. Clint hasn’t had the best of luck but has landed on his paws with a lovely foster home. Clint is currently in foster with two other Rommie dogs who he was so desperate to play with as soon as he met them! He really is just a lovable big doofus in the nicest way! We don’t think he realises his size. We would say he’s in between Labrador - German Shepherd. Clint needs someone who is used to handling large breed dogs as he can be strong when he wants to be! He is still very much a playful pup and loves his toys. Clint has slept through the night since day one, been clean in the house and would be happy to join a family who already have an active dog.

Billy is a 9 month old shepherd mix male pup currently fostered in Co. Durham. He is affectionate and adores other dogs. He has a basic level of obedience. He’s going though adolescence at the moment which isn’t the easiest age for a dog! He has a lot of potential and really needs a home with other dogs as he doesn’t cope so well on his own. He really needs someone who has the time for him. He’s currently in foster with older children, dogs, cats and other animals. He could potentially be homed with cats but would very much depend on the cat and the amount of training the adopter would do to carefully introduce the animals and create harmony within the home. Billy is a playful pup and loves nothing more than playing with other dogs and with his toys.

Zia is a small/medium female of around 4-5 years old.  She's a very friendly, playful girl who gets on well with other dogs and loves humans.

She has been in foster now for a couple of weeks in Knighton, where she fitted in straight away and is loved by all - she would suit most families, either as an only dog or with others.

Zia is the sort of dog who loves fuss and cuddles  on the sofa. If you are working at something on her level she will come and sit between your arms. She is very keen to become someone's faithful little friend  - she will follow you anywhere. 

Coral is a 2 year old small female dog weighing 9kg. Coral and her mother were found roaming around outside our shelter clearly having been abandoned. They were very sweet and friendly from the start and they both definitely deserve happy lives. Coral is looking for a forever family who’ll have the time to settle her in to a home environment.

Maya is a 2 year old female collie mix. You may remember at the end of March we were alerted that there was a dog abandoned in the woods and left tied to a tree. The poor girl was terrified and confused. It didn’t take long for her to realise we were good people and she soon started to grow in confidence in our care. Maya is now a playful, happy girl who loves other dogs and is eager for a fuss when she sees you. She has soft brown eyes that melt your heart. Now after some time in our care her coat is shining and she is healthy. Maya is ready for a forever home to call her own. I am sure she would love to be adopted in a home with another dog if possible. She hasn’t been cat tested but can be arranged if necessary.

Ana is a small (8kg) female pup of around 9-10 months old. Ana was found abandoned which sadly is the story for Romania. Ana is currently in foster in a foster home in Romania and is a very sweet, gentle girl.

Lina has been in the public shelter for quite some time. She is a gentle calm dog, and has shared her box with a lot of different dogs and never had a problem.  She is a bit nervous about being taken out of her known space but she is learning quickly. 

Lina is around 6-7 yearsvold, and is big size. 

Peanut is a  stunning boy of about 18 months.   He is shy at first, meeting new people, but gradually gains confidence and welcomes being touched and fussed. 

He is a calm and steady dog, of small to medium size. 

Linda is a beautiful girl of about 1-2 years old. She is medium size, quiet and friendly with people she knows, but still shy with strangers. She is part of the training and socialisation program at Odai shelter and she has made a lot of progress: she walks with a leash and pays attention to commands.  She has more to learn yet, but with patience she will be a really super dog for her furever family.

Fax is a young male, around 1 year old. He was abandoned in the shelter by his own master, for reasons we don't know and can't imagine, because Fax is an absolutely adorable pup. He is medium-sized, athletic and energetic. He is friendly with everyone, dogs and people, but he needs human contact. He gets bored in the corral and the happiest is when he gets attention.  He would be perfect for an active adopter or family. 

 Africa is a labrador mix, aprox 8 years old with an amazing personality and still very active and full of life. 

Africa currently lives in a shelter environment, but has had a lot of training, walking brilliantly on a lead and being socialised.  Africa would prefer to be rehomed with a male dog or as an only dog.  

She hasn't been tested around cats but this can be arranged if needed.
Africa is very suitable for many types of famillies, but we advice to be adopted by those who can keep her busy, with long walks and mental stimulation.

 Onyx is a 7-8 Year old boy , big sized, very gentle with everybody, with people and dogs. Maybe a bit problematic with other dominant males. Lives now in a kennel with a dominant female. 

Cute Flavia is tiny, only 25cm tall and 6kg.  She was rescued by a friend of ELI, from a place where she was with lot of big dogs - meaning her chances of surviving the approaching winter were low as she is a cautious, gentle soul. She is missing some front teeth; we don't know who/what hit her.  Around 3 years old, Flavia has been spayed and is ready to travel. Now all she needs is a foster or forever home.  She can walk on the lead, learns well, and is fine with other dogs; we think cats would be fine too but can test if needed. She'd suit any home without very young children; she'd also be great for older person seeking a small companion.  

Bobby is a 5 year old Pekingese cross. He came to us from another rescuer, with his friend Millie. 

Bobby is a real character and you can’t help but smile with him around. He’s a little clown and loves to give you kisses. He’d suit a family with adults/older children. He can happily live with other dogs.
