Bert
Papillon X  •  Male  •  4 years old
Adopted April 2008

Bert is a sweet little man who loves to be with you as much as possible and will make you the centre of his world! His previous home had someone with him most of the time and he'd like to continue that arrangement. He's an active fellow who loves his walks and enjoys the company of other dogs. Bert is a very obliging boy and comes to you already housetrained.

Bertie
Beagle  •  Male  •  ~8 years old
Adopted April 2008
Bill and Hillary
Spoodle  •  1 Male and 1 Female  •  6 months old
Adopted April 2008

Bill (pictured here) and his sister Hillary look very much alike. They're both looking for new homes and each of them must live with another dog.
Bonnie
Staffordshire Terrier X  •  Female  •  3 years old
Adopted April 2008

Bonnie is a kind loving girl who will smother you with affection. Being a staffy she has a lot of energy and loves her exercise so she'll soon have you on an excellent exercise routine. She's searching for a home where there is someone around a lot of the time to give her the company she craves.
Chuckles

Adopted April 2008

Daisy
Sheltie X  •  Female  •  5 years old

Please only consider Daisy if you can provide the kind of home described here. If you work full-time, Daisy isn't for you! Daisy is a sweet lady. She's very focused on people and will bond closely with her special person. She's looking for a home where she'll have lots of human company so she simply isn't suited to a home where her people are out at work all day. Daisy will likely do best in a quiet adult home and she seems to enjoy being with older people — so she'd probably fit in well with someone who's retired. She enjoys her walks but isn't a high-energy dog. She's happy to share with a cat but not another dog.

Terrier X  •  Female   •  1 to 1.5 years old

Dolly is quiet, gentle and loving. She's a little timid at times but loves to be around you in the house and follows you where ever you go. She has already started to respond to simple commands. When she walks in the park she is always by your side and never strays far from you ... and she always returns to you when called! Dolly will fit into most situations as long as she has lots of human company. She will be happy to live with another dog but wants a mate who is soft and kind. Dolly is toilet trained and she will be a perfect new member of your family.

He is a handsome fellow and if you can give him a busy and fun-filled life he is waiting to meet you.

Terrier X  •  Female   •  1 to 1.5 years old
Adopted April 2008



From Topsy's foster home: Topsy is a lovely little dog with a great personality. She is very affectionate and loving and will make a great companion for the right person or family. She loves to play and exercise and will probably be happiest living as an only dog. She used to live with Dolly (now adopted — see below) but is now quite happy to go her own way. Topsy still needs some training and she's looking forward to learning all she can. She's looking for a busy active life where she can be part of all the action — and another bonus ... she's toilet trained!
