Below are some of the dogs that College Garth currently have for rehoming. We do aim to keep this page as accurate as possible, not all dogs will go on here as they will be reserved quickly - please telephone us for the most up-to-date information as the dogs change daily. Telephone 01509-842327. Rescue don't breed.
You will need to pass a home check before you can have a dog, having a securely fenced garden is usually important, if you live in rented accommodation you will need a letter from your landlord stating you can have a dog.
So many Staffies in rescues! Over breeding of Staffie types is now a major problem for rescues, indiscriminate & overbreeding for cash is just pumping out too many dogs! Healthy dogs especially Staffie's are being put to sleep everyday because rescues simply have no room for them! Please consider an older dog rather than a puppy and save a life so easily lost.
Please remember many of our dogs are strays and arrive to us with no information about them, even disclaimers can be left with false information. The kennel staff assess the dogs while they are in the kennels with the help of our dog trainer and walkers. However, dogs can change so new owners need to be prepared to let their new dog settle iin slowly and be aware that they might behave differently from the kennels, they may have been abused, spoilt or just used to a very differnet way of life before you. A new home can be upsetting for some dogs who will need time to settle and trust you before their true character can come out. Accidents such as messing inside and chewing may happen and owners should not leave a new dog with expensive items untill they know they are fine to do so - prevention is always better!

AVI-pictured at the tesco community fair with milo-perfectly behaved
Greyhound bitch.
Around 5 years old.
Found as a stray on 18/6/10.
She is very friendly and has been walked with other dogs but please bear in mind that all our dogs are kept on lead and Greyhounds are muzzled. She would need a secure garden with high fencing and can jump high. Lovely to walk on the lead and then sleeps the rest of the day. She has been an ex-racing dog in the past but was found as a stray on the streets.

CHARLIE
Labradoodle dog.
Around 1 year old.
Disclaimed on 17/7/10 after biting a child.
Charlie is a nervous dog and has been passed around a few homes in a short period of time.
It was his first time living with children and got himself over excited when he bit the child.
He is only young and we feel it wasn't aggressive behaviour but due to him doing this we would not want him going to a home where children lived or visited.
He will only be suitable with older teenaged children.
He needs an experienced owner to either the breed or excitable dogs. Please contact the kennels for more information as we want Charlie to go to a forever home as he has already been through a lot

ARCHIE URGENTLY NEEDS REHOMING!!!!!!!!!!
cross bred dog.
Around 2-3 years old.
Found as a stray on 7/6/10.
  
Hoby & Archie Archie & Fizz
  archie & murphy
Stressed in kennels & needs to keep being walked with the other dogs to help keep him settled.
He went out with 4 dogs to day & was walked with an 'owned dog' who he loved-he got a little frisky & was reprimanded by the other dog which did not bother him. Is only being walked by experianced walkers to stop this behaviour but needs to get rehomed asap. He will need a home with no young kids & an experianced owner poss another dog altho could probably do with castration to help chill him out as he is a lively little thing.
Went on staffie walk with about 15 other dogs & was a very good boy, is walked in a halti, he needs someone who is firm but kind with him
Likes to play & is an inteligent, fun dog who needs his energy channeled into something like agility

GEORGE
  
George-Male brindle staffie x, about 3yrs old. Vaccinated by Colin Ward. Castrated.Found as a stray on 1/12/09. Friendly, large Staffie, loves people, good to walk ok other dogs, but doesn't like them in his face so prob only dog or possibly with female, full of character, really nice boy, no kids.
Has had part of his tail cut of due to injuring it while kenneled.
George was in a foster home with a very experienced dog trainer (oh dear George!) where he gained lots of training. George has been doing agility off-lead & is very good! He also walked out every day with Anne's 3 other dogs & any others that need to go out & is making lots of new mates. Came to our agility where he did all obstacles at top speed with a jump pole in his mouth at same time!, he is a strong, energetic staffie & needs an experinaced owner with this sort of dog- a home where he could carry on with his agility would be perfect
Unfortunatly another dog at the kennels attacked him & he had to come back after a fight, but he did not start this fight & is now v sad to be back here. |

He is a fun dog and loves playing football. He is better walked on a harness and is fine walking with other dogs. Stunning looking boy
he was recently involved in a dog fight after his collar snapped in the kennels which has upset him he is ok near females but now not so keen on males, & gets himself wound up near them- so will need carefull handling & control with training to get him to back to his better behaved self-is getting better all the time going out with other dogs

MURPHY
  
Staffie dog. Around 4 years old. Found as a stray on 20/3/10. Murphy is microchipped but the details have not been kept up to date. He walks better on a harness, has walked out with other dogs & seems fine & interested in playing- Friendly & nice dog, but quiet lively
will soon be castrated
Murphy went on a extra long walk to the river yesterday with one of our volunteers.
We put factor 50 sunscreen on his ears as it was a bit sunny for his thin fur. He was as good as gold and is a lovely little staffie who needs to put on some weight! he was very well behaved with other dogs, cyclists and walkers (I had him on a 16ft extending lead) and we didn't need to pull him in at all. He heard the rustle of a treat bag, sat and took the treats gently without snatching all. He met one of my cats and just looked at him and wagged his tail. He likes the car and sat on my lap a very happy dog.
