13. Duchess
Duchess is a three-year-old Greyhound who is a really lovely girl that came to the centre after her racing days were over. Duchess is such an amazingly happy girl with a heart of gold. She is an absolute joy to be around and can make anyone smile within seconds of being around her. Duchess has missed out on so much of normal life and has so much making up to do, so she is looking for a family who will show her the joys of life and take her on family holidays and exciting adventures. Duchess has never lived in a home environment before which is so sad because all she wants is a sofa to chill on and a family who will love her as much as she will them. Photo: RSPCA
14. Kevin
Kevin is a 14-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux who is a sweet but very shy boy that came to the centre via an inspector after being seized as part of a prosecution case. After lengthy legal proceedings, Kevin is now ready to find himself a loving new home. Kevin has had such a troubled start to life and this has left him very nervous of people he does not know and new surroundings. He has been having some training to help with this whilst at the centre and his adopters will need to continue with this to help him succeed with his transition into a new home. Once Kevin has built up a bond with his people, he really is a very sweet, friendly and truly marvellous dog. Photo: RSPCA
15. Shaun
Shaun is a three-year-old Shih Tzu Cross who came to the centre via an inspector after he was found abandoned in a field along with two other dogs in an appalling condition. Understandably, the neglect and abuse inflicted on him by his previous owners has left him very nervous of both people and new situations and surroundings. With lots of TLC and patience, Shaun is slowly learning to trust and starting to enjoy life. He will need very understanding adopters who will help him overcome his insecurities and show him he can trust humans. Photo: RSPCA
16. Dizzy
Dizzy is a German Shepherd is a very sweet girl who came to the centre after being found living in terrible conditions. She along with other dogs were being kept in cramp cages in a van. Dizzy was very underweight when she arrived and had an untreated ear condition. It quickly became very apparent to the staff at the centre that Dizzy is actually deaf. She is now in the process of learning sign language. Dizzy is a super sweet, affectionate and friendly girl who has come through her ordeal and is now looking towards a brighter future. She really does deserve the most wonderful home with a family who will love her unconditionally. Photo: RSPCA
