STOUR VALLEY DOGS
Spud
Meet Spud
Sweet little Spud is entirely and instantly comfortable around dogs, but he tends to be shy when meeting new people until he feels more comfortable and safe around them. Once he feels he can trust his humans, he is such a loving and happy boy. All he needs now is a family to love him and look after him forever.
Spud will need to have his vaccination booster and be neutered before he can be adopted. In about 3 to 4 weeks, he will need a family with a resident dog to make his life secure and complete. Is that you?
Sunny
Sunny is a lovely 5-year-old girl who recently arrived from Romania. When she first arrived, she was understandably nervous and unsure of her new surroundings. Within around two days, she began to feel comfortable and started to trust me. Once she felt safe, her lovely personality quickly began to shine through.
Sunny is a gentle, affectionate and loyal dog. She appears to have possibly lived in a home previously, as she has adapted very naturally to domestic life. We were told that she found kennel life particularly difficult, so a home environment appears to suit her very well.
Temperament and Behaviour
- Dog friendly
- Cat friendly
- Housetrained
- Sleeps peacefully throughout the night
- Happy sleeping in either a dog bed or crate, depending on her preference
- No accidents or issues overnight
- Affectionate and enjoys cuddles
- Forms a strong bond with her chosen person
- Loves feeling safe, secure and included
Sunny may need a little time to settle and build trust with her new family, but once she feels safe, she becomes a very happy and affectionate companion.
Health and Veterinary Information
Sunny is:
- Spayed
- Vaccinated
- Microchipped
- Flea and worm treated
Sunny is a very special little dog who has so much love to give. She is looking for a calm, loving and secure home where she can continue to build her confidence and enjoy the life she deserves.
For the right adopter, Sunny has the potential to become a wonderfully loyal companion and a friend for life.

MOSHU
Available for adoption
Moshu is a charming little character who is 95% sweetheart and 5% stubborn old man! At 11 years old, this Romanian rescue has been in foster care for the past year, and now he’s looking for a special forever home.
He’s a friendly chap, both dog and cat-friendly, and is microchipped and neutered. Moshu adores cuddles and affection, but only on his terms. He needs time to build trust, but once he does, he’ll happily be your little shadow. He took to his foster family's daughter straight away and welcomes visitors with no fuss.
Now, Moshu does have a few quirks. Grooming? Absolutely not, he hates it and needs to be sedated for it. Leads? No thanks, he prefers to potter around the garden or enjoy occasional visits to a secure dog field. He only has a few teeth left, but if he gets cross, he knows how to use them!
That said, Moshu isn’t a difficult dog, just one who knows what he wants. He follows house rules, can be left for short periods, and mostly just wants a quiet, understanding home. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance companion with a big personality, Moshu might just be the perfect fit.
Could you be the one to give Moshu the retirement home he deserves?
Jill
Suspended adoption applications!
Jill is slowly coming out of her shell and beginning to trust the humans around her. She is becoming more curious and will now approach for fuss and strokes — but very much on her own terms. She's still a very nervous little girl and needs patience, understanding, and a calm environment to continue building confidence.
She absolutely adores food and is settling in well with eating. Jill has also been enjoying spending time around the other dogs, although she has shown guarding behaviors around food, resting spots, the crate, and people she feels attached to. Because of this, we feel Jill would be best suited as the only dog in the home where she can feel safe and secure without needing to compete for resources.
Jill is still very young and currently teething — she has already lost several puppy teeth. She is also not yet house trained, so her future family will need to be prepared for ongoing puppy-style training and routine.
Lola
Lola is a gentle, calm 10-year-old girl with a loving, affectionate nature. She adores company and is happiest when she's close to her people, making her the perfect cuddle companion.
Having recently arrived, Lola is still settling into her new surroundings and can be a little unsure if she can't see her foster carer, but this is improving as her confidence grows. She has been clean indoors, slept through the night, and has a wonderfully peaceful presence.
Lola has been cat tested and, like all of our dogs, is fully vaccinated, flea and worm treated, microchipped and spayed. She is now looking for a loving home where she can enjoy the comfort and companionship she deserves.
Orsi
APPLICATION ARE SUSPENDED FOR ADOPTION.
ORSI is an absolute sweetheart, a big, loving girl who adores human company and wants nothing more than to be by your side. She's incredibly affectionate and will happily flop onto her back at your feet, asking for endless tummy rubs.
She has a gentle nature and so much love to give, but she will need a home that can help her continue learning the basics, including housetraining, which she's already making good progress with.
Orsi is still being evaluated around other dogs, so for now a home where introductions can be managed carefully would be ideal.
She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is ready to find a family who will give her the love and security she truly deserves.
Houdini
Houdini - Long-Term foster
Houdini is in long-term foster placement, where he will continue to receive the support and guidance he needs. His foster family are working with him on lead acclimatisation, helping him build confidence and develop this important skill at a pace that suits him.
Long-term fostering can be a fantastic option for some rescue dogs, giving them the stability of a home environment while allowing them to continue learning and progressing. We're delighted that Houdini has this opportunity and look forward to following his journey.
Please let us know if you see a dog you would like to meet!
PROCESS TO ADOPT
The whole family, plus any other dogs in the household, would meet the dog at his/her foster home. After this meeting, all being well, if you decide you would like to go ahead with adoption a Home Check will be arranged.
Following a successful Home Check the adoption can proceed.
There is a minimum donation of £375 payable on adoption.
In the case of more than one person being interested in a dog (this certainly is the case with most puppies) a decision will be made as to which home is most suitable for the dogs needs. We do not operate on a first come first served basis, the home that is best suited will be selected.
All dogs looking for a home are posted on our Facebook page and website.
Please be aware that a visit is not a guarantee that you will be able to adopt. We do reserve the right to select the best matched home for each of our dogs. I hope you understand that they are our priority.
