STOUR VALLEY DOGS
Walter
Available for adoption
Meet Walter
Sir Walter arrived into our care through no fault of his own, and has carried himself like true royalty ever since. A gentle soul with the kindest nature, he’s the definition of a well-mannered gentleman… most of the time!
Walter is a dream to walk on the lead, calm, composed, and ever so dignified, as if he’s out on a royal inspection of his kingdom.
He gets on wonderfully with other dogs and would happily enjoy courtly company, or take centre stage as your one and only.
He’s been given a full check-up by our vets, is in great health, ready to take up residence in his forever home.
Now, every royal has their quirks… and Walter is no exception. He is rather partial to helping himself to any unattended treats, so you may find this charming chap conducting the occasional “inspection” of countertops if snacks are left within reach!
Walter is also quite the athlete in disguise and can jump, so a secure garden with good fencing is a must to keep His Highness safe.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a dash of cheeky charm and a whole lot of heart, Walter is ready to rule your home.
Lewna
Available for adoption
Lewna is an 8-year-old Patterjack looking for a loving new home after a very difficult change in circumstances. She has been deeply loved and well cared for throughout her life, and it shows in the lovely nature she has brought with her.
She is fully vaccinated, spayed, up to date with flea and worm treatments, and has received regular veterinary care. Lewna has enjoyed a good diet, enrichment, and training, and has clearly been an important and cherished member of the family.
Lewna is currently settling into foster care, where she is taking time to adjust and decompress. As we learn more about her personality and needs, we will update her profile with details about the kind of home that would suit her best, she will need to be the only dog to enjoy all the pampering.
She is a sweet, deserving girl who has a lot of love still to give, and we know there will be someone special out there ready to offer her the happy next chapter she deserves.
If you think you could offer Lewna a kind, secure, and loving forever home, please get in touch.
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?
Violet
Available for adoption...
Meet Violet
Violet is a loving and well-rounded girl who has settled beautifully into home life. She has a healthy appetite, enjoys her food, and keeps herself well hydrated. Around the house, Violet is clean and well-behaved, happily sleeping in her own bed on the floor in the bedroom at night.
She has a wonderfully friendly nature and gets along brilliantly with both people and other dogs. Violet has also been out and about with a mobility scooter, showing her calm and adaptable temperament in different environments. She travels well in the car, making her a great companion for outings and adventures.
Violet is not a beggar when it comes to food, though she can be a bit cheeky and may try her luck with a spot of counter surfing if food is left unattended.
She is a very affectionate and cuddly girl who loves human company. Violet has been around children and has proven to be gentle and reliable.
Violet does find being left alone difficult and would benefit from a home where someone is around most of the time or where she can gradually build confidence with being left. She is also not comfortable in a crate, which may be linked to her past experiences, so a crate-free home would be best suited for her.
Overall, Violet is a sweet, affectionate companion who will make a wonderful addition to a loving home.

Everyone meet Anya
This tiny little lady has just arrived in Dorset, and we already think she’s going to melt a lot of hearts. Just look at those big soulful eyes and that sweet little face… it’s impossible not to fall in love.
Anya is a very friendly little girl who enjoys people and has a gentle, loving nature.
She can start the next chapter of her life, one filled with kindness, safety, and hopefully a family who will adore her as much as she deserves.
For now, please help us give this beautiful little girl a warm welcome as she gets ready for her new adventure.
We can’t wait to get to know you better, sweet Anya.
Luca
Being assessed...
Luca has arrived on the bus to Dorset
As with many of the dogs who travel to join us, Luca will be settling in and having some time to decompress after his trip. Once we have had the chance to get to know him better, we will be able to share more details about his personality, his likes and dislikes, and the kind of home that would suit him best.
In the meantime, keep an eye on this page for updates. We will post more information, photos, and details about Luca as soon as they become available.
We can already tell he’s going to melt a few hearts. Welcome to Dorset, Luca, we can’t wait to meet you!
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.
