Welcome to the section of the site where you can see brief details of all the male dogs we have for rehoming.
If you are checking this page daily, please make sure you refresh your internet browser to
ensure you see the most up to date information.
The dogs we have can change quickly, often on a daily basis so whilst we do update this area as necessary, we would suggest that if you are travelling a long distance you contact us first if you are interested in one particular dog. We will reserve a dog for you to meet but only for 24 hours (if visiting on a Sunday ring us Friday afternoon). Our Procedure page will hopefully answer any questions you may have about how we operate. For your information we do not sell the dogs we rehome but we do ask for a donation based on the age of a dog, if neutered etc. This donation is to support the work we carry out and without which we could not rescue the number of collies that we do every year
If you have any questions, or would like to know more about these or any of the dogs we have at our centre please telephone our office Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm on 0871 560 2282 and our staff will be happy to help. The colour coding shown should also help in identifying a dog to suit your experience but do discuss any dog which interests you.
The kennels are open 7 days a week for rehoming between 9am to 11am and 2pm to 4pm (closed 12.30pm to 2pm) and full details can be found on the Kennels page

KEY
Generally a well balanced dog who, we believe, from the history or assessments should settle relatively easily in most homes.
A dog usually suited for those with some experience of dog ownership, may be shy or wary or have medical health issues (eg epilepsy, diabetes) that require some degree of owner intervention.
The reasons for this assessment can be varied but generally a dog who will require a certain degree of understanding, patience and possibly support from ourselves due to some degree of behavioural problem over and above a minor issue. Generally fairly experienced homes only with no young children on a regular basis but again this is dependant on all the circumstances.
