If interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and sadly due to unprecedented interest, we will only be able to contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £200. This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

Oscar's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal a different picture and positive skills as they build trust.
Original Referral information: We were asked to help Oscar and find him his new family.

Oscar came into our Rescue on the 24th November

Gorgeous boy ...looks like husky in his mix

Bumped into this dude today. He is magnificent....and very friendly.

Oscar is a super boy. The person who brought him to us said he was Malamute X GSD I think?
He's very strong especially starting a walk or if he sees a squirrel, but doesn't pull much during a walk. He is quick to accept friendly strangers as new friends and really enjoys a cuddle and a scratch. Out in the paddock, he doesn't really play fetch too well but throwing a ball for him usually sets off some good zoomies! He is a dog who would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to run more often! Oscar is very interested in dogs and having been entire all his life, he walks towards them very boldly with tail up. He doesn't appear dog reactive from a distance but hasn't been tested properly yet.
Lovely, lovely boy. If you're feeling strong, he's a fab dog to be around!

We had the pleasure of meeting Oscar today! He is a strong strong boy, he wasn’t intentionally pulling, just so excited to be out and about and his size meant his strides were a bit faster than ours! He listens well, and when two smaller dogs passed us he just laid down (we had moved to the side). He stopped regularly for cuddles, and sits nicely for treats! He is a gentle giant, who sometimes forgets just how giant he is! But he is very very friendly and very affectionate! Lots of love for this majestic boy!

Oscar. What a great dog. Friendly and responsive. Not a real handful but can be on the strong side on a wet surface. Doesn't pull for the sake of it, he's just a big lad.

Lovely personality and likes to run around and play.

He stood up at the kennel door to take a treat....and literally looked me straight in the eye

He's a good looking lad as well

[Julieh]

Oh my he is just so beautiful. Surely someone will whisk him off for home comforts and cuddles soon.

[Bennings]

Such a beautiful boy, I’m in love

Your boy Oscar had a chance meeting with Zion and uncle Geoff today. All went well and both wanted to play.

I took the big boy in the paddock before we went walking. He likes a little game of chase before we explore the woods. Oscar is a lovely animal and is no bother at all.
