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?
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.

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.
