Big Dogs


Axel 4 years \| Male \| Greyhound X Axel is a dog with a big heart and long legs who will be best living in a household with adults. He is a playful dog that loves the outdoors and needs a responsible owner to manage his enthusiasm. Axel could possibly live with a compatible dog friend in a calm, low stress environment.	Tui 2.5 years \| Female \| Huntaway X Tui, pronounced too-ee, is quite highly strung in the kennel environment, but once outside becomes a cuddly and affectionate girl. Tui could possibly live with a calm role model dog pending meet and kids over 12 years who will be gentle and patient with her under the guidance of their parents.	Queen Latifah 7 years \| Female \| Labrador X Queen Latifah has a stereotypical Labrador mindset, she is a big girl who loves her food, naps and back scratches! Queen Latifah needs to live in a household with adults and will be best as an only dog, to have attention lavished on her as she will feel she deserves!

Yogi 16 months \| Male \| Labrador X Yogi is much larger than he looks in his picture, and doesn't seem to realise his size. He appears to have not had much socialisation with dogs, our trainers will work with potential adopters if they are wanting to let him make friends. Yogi will be best living with adults due to his size and clumsiness.	Frankie 4.5 years \| Male \| Red Heeler X Frankie is an active dog who is somewhat sensitive. He could live with a well socialised dog older than him, in the company of adults. Frankie will benefit from additional training using positive methods and his new owners will ideally provide a calm consistent environment.	Rocko 3 years \| Male \| Rottweiler X Rocko is strong young dog who needs to gain your trust. He will be a happier and more trainable dog if he gains some confidence. Positive reinforcement training will be the only effective and stress-lessening way to work with this boy. Rocko will need to be an only dog and could live with children over 12 years old.

Freckles 4 years \| Male \| Mastiff X Cattle Dog Freckles is a big strong boy. He will need a confident owner experienced in positive training techniques as he is very food and play motivated. Freckles will need a lot of exercise and could live with teenagers over 15 years due to his size and strength, and possibly a compatible dog friend.	Bruno 11 months \| Male \| Mastiff X Bruno (previously Brutus) is friendly towards people but will probably need a refresher course in socialising with other dogs. Positive methods only should be used as it is evident he has been disciplined harshly in the past. His size and jumping at the moment make him suited to kids over 12 years. Bruno will be best as an only dog at this stage.	Flex 12 months \| Male \| American Staffy X Flex is a slightly nervous boy at the moment and adopters will find that building his confidence brings out more of his personality! He loves to be with people but could become over-dependent on one person, developing anxiety. Flex will be best as an only dog in a multiple person home, where he can be gently shown that alone time can be a good thing.

Stainsey 7.5 years \| Male \| English Bull Terrier X Stainsey has been at the refuge for a number of years now and is the self-appointed head of security. Whilst he is aggressive towards other dogs he loves people (almost as much as he loves his food) and with the right owner would be a great companion. Stainsey comes with his own muzzle!	Sparky & Willow 8 years \| Female \| Cattle Dog X Greyhound 7 years \| Female \| Cattle Dog X Staffy Sparky and Willow are best friends and would like to find a home together. They are both very sweet and affectionate girls and adore attention from people. These girls are eager to learn and to please, so gentle training using positive reinforcement will have a great impact. Sparky and Willow could live with children over 10 years.	Revs 8.5 years \| Male \| Bull Terrier X Revs is a very affectionate boy. Unfortunately Revs has a noise phobia. In a home situation this is quite manageable, so we are urgently trying to place him before our next bout of storms. Although rare, the ideal home would be with a part-time or at home worker.

Ivan - ADOPTED 10 months \| Male \| Irish Wolfhound Ivan is a big lanky young boy, full of fun and excitement. For a successful adoption, new owners will need to enrol in a positive group training course to teach Ivan boundaries and appropriate behaviour. Ivan still has some growing to do and could possibly live with another big friendly dog.
