STOUR VALLEY DOGS
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?
PRINCE
Available for adoption
Prince is a gorgeous 6 and a half year old small sized crossbreed. He can be quite timid when he first meets new people but he enjoys human company and loves being caressed.
He is a good boy who just wants a quiet life and to feel safe with his own special humans. He gets on well with the other dogs but very occasionally tries to "guard" his human - not very robustly to be fair, and a quick, calm "no" soon puts an end to that. He seems to have stopped doing it now.
Prince gets very excited about meals. When he sees his bowl approaching, he spins and spins on the spot with happiness until the bowl is on the floor in front of him. He has recently started taking an interest in toys and has a real talent for de-stuffing them. He particularly likes the squeaky ones
Prince would be happiest as the only dog in the household, or with one other calm dog. Any children would need to be aged 12 or over.
Prince is microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, flea and worm treated. He has tested negative for Bruscella and has a certificate from the UK APHA laboratory.
He is a sweet gem of a boy who will make a loyal companion.
Houdini
Available for adoption
Houdini is a super sweet gentle boy. He is quite sensitive and takes a while to build trust and feel safe. If he is feeling insecure, he tends to take himself off to his crate which is always left open.
His toilet training is coming along but there are still accidents from time to time, mostly early in the morning if I don't open the garden door early enough. He hasn't worked out the dog flap yet. He is fine around the other dogs in the house, and tends to be quite submissive generally, both with humans and dogs. Not an aggressive bone in his body. He behaves like a big puppy sometimes. He is a genuine affectionate joy to have around but he will need a calm home and family that are patient and give him time and encouragement to approach them when he feels brave enough to do so.
Pufa
Available for adoption
Pufa is a pretty 3 year old terrier crossbreed, originally from Romania. She can be a little timid when she first meets new people, but once she gets to know you, she is a very loving and funny girl.
Pufa is very well behaved indoors. She is reliably housetrained and seems comfortable with domestic life. She is cautious about new things or noises . She doesn't mind the washing machine or tumble dryer but she is not comfortable with the vacuum cleaner noise so she tends to go into another room when it is in use.
She is starting to feel more confident when we have visitors, particularly the ones who are here regularly and she greets them nicely.
There is a bit of her that is still not completely sure of humans, although she very much wants to be. She does not like the idea of putting a collar or harness on, so we are working on that. She is a really sweet girl to have around. She gets on well with the other dogs in the house, loves her food, sleeps quietly through the night and can be left alone for short periods.
Pufa is microchipped, spayed, flea and parasite treated, she has a certificate from the UK APHA laboratory confirming that she tested negative for Bruscella Canis.

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.
