Barney's Story: Barney's owner went into hospital and his son could not take him in as he already had 4 dogs. A neighbour held him for 24 hours and then a pound-puller friend arranged for him to go into a Shar Pei Rescue. But, on arrival it was clear he was an Akita x Shar Pei and wasn't going to mix with the 7 other dogs there: 6 x Shar Peis and 1 x American Bully. Was approached 10pm and the transporter had nowhere to place him as they had to head back north and couldn't take him back with them. We opened our doors at 11.30pm and took Barney in, saving his life. Barney will be neutered, chipped, and undergo vaccinations. Barney is in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If you are 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 we will only 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 £300 (£500 for a pup under 1 yr old). 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 in particular. 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.

Barney's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.
