Beau
German Shepherd
Age: Two
Beau is a stunning dog who still acts like a big puppy. She loves her toys and enjoys learning new tricks for treats. Beau is looking for an adult only, experienced home; she can be wary of strangers and unsure around other dogs so will need quiet walking areas. Beau requires a large, secure garden where she can enjoy playtime off her lead and ongoing recall training. Beau would benefit from someone with previous experience with larger breeds.
Saffy

Hide AdAt present, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Dogs Trust rehoming centres aren’t open for public browsing,but they are still rehoming and taking in dogs, with new processes in place to keep staff, visitors and adopters safe.
A spokesperson said: “For dogs we know will thrive straight away in their new home, we’re matching them with their new homes virtually and delivering them contact-free.
“Current restrictions mean we can only facilitate adoptions local to our centres and not across countries or anywhere there are travel restrictions.
“We’re not able to make appointments for dogs to meet their family before going home, but we can register interest to arrange appointments when restrictions ease.
