Feature Dogs for Adoption
We feature a select few of our dogs on this page that are in serious need of their homes. They may have been with us a while and are being seriously overlooked through no fault of their own or they may be older or have medical needs. It may be that they are none of the above, just that they are a fond favourite of our team and we want to feature them in the hope that you will fall in love with them as we have.
For more information on each of the dogs please CLICK on the image of the dog to open a larger version and more photos. You can also follow the link on their first photograph to email a homing enquiry direct to us or just contact our homing team via email to homing@aadogrescue.org.uk.

Meet Bono – The Last of His Litter Looking for a Forever Home! Bono is a charming medium-sized pup born on 01.05.2023, and he’s the last of his litter still waiting for his special family. Surrendered to us by a local farmer along with his three siblings, Bono has grown into a super friendly, happy pup who is ready to bring love and joy to his new home. • Dog friendly: Yes, Bono gets along wonderfully with other dogs. • Vaccinated & microchipped: Bono is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and even has his own pet passport. Blood results show that Bono is leish positive which means that they will need to be on a daily tablet which an inexpensive medication. Otherwise they are in good health. • Family-friendly: He’d make a fantastic addition to any family. If you’re looking for a lovable, playful companion, Bono could be the perfect match!

Meet Lupin – The Scruffy Sweetheart Looking for a Forever Home Lupin has come a long way since arriving with us from the pound, where he didn’t understand what humans—or even other dogs—were! Over time, he’s blossomed into a gentle, loving soul who is ready to find his forever family. This large, endearing boy has truly captured our hearts at the kennels, and now it’s his turn to shine. About Lupin: • Age: 6 years old (DOB: 06.07.2018) • Weight: 27kg • Temperament: Quiet, gentle, and affectionate. A true wallflower who shies away from trouble. • Good with dogs: Lives happily with a female Doberman. Could live with calm female dogs who won’t bully him. • Around people: Initially unsure how to respond to affection but now knows humans are friends. Needs a calm and loving environment. • House skills: Walks well on a lead, clean in his kennel, and isn’t destructive. What Lupin Needs: • A home with children aged 12+ (he doesn’t enjoy being chased). • A peaceful garden where he can relax and enjoy sunny days. • A patient family who will let him plod around in his own time and shower him with love. Health: • Neutered, blood-tested (all clear and healthy). • Fully vaccinated (rabies and UK vaccines). • Flea and worm treated. • Has his own passport and full UK rescue backup. Lupin is ready to be cherished and loved as he deserves. If you’d like to know more or are interested in giving this sweetheart his forever home, please email our homing team at Homing@aadogrescue.org.uk. Lupin is waiting to share his gentle heart with you! 💗
Meet Joe! Joe is a lively and affectionate 3-year-old boy with a big heart and plenty of energy! He’s a strong, muscular lad, still a little underweight at around 20kg, but we’re helping him get to his ideal size. Joe absolutely loves people and craves human affection—he’ll make sure the kennel staff know when he’s in need of cuddles! He’s also a big fan of tug toys, treats, and playtime. When it comes to other dogs, Joe can get a bit overexcited, but he means no harm and shows no aggression. He just needs guidance to help manage his enthusiasm. Joe does pull on the lead, but once he’s had a good run to burn off some energy, he settles down and walks much better. He needs both physical and mental stimulation, so an active family would be the perfect match for him. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion, Joe could be the one for you! Interested? Email homing@aadogrescue.org.uk to find out more!
Meet Douglas DOB: 08/03/2016 | Weight: ~28kg Douglas came to us after being rescued from an animal hoarder’s home, where he’d sadly been living in poor conditions. Following the owner’s passing, Douglas and many other Collies were left needing urgent help. Used as a stud dog, Douglas spent much of his life in isolation, without proper care or socialisation. Understandably, he arrived at AA Dog Rescue anxious, unsure of his surroundings, and initially a little defensive with staff. But with time, patience, and kindness, Douglas has shown his true colours—and what a sweetheart he is! He now sits on command, offers his paw, and enjoys cuddles from staff. He’s a gentle boy who prefers the company of females dogs but isn’t aggressive toward males—just a bit more cautious and curious. Douglas walks nicely on a lead and, with continued love and guidance, would likely get along well with both male and female dogs. He really shines when he’s around the ladies! We would ideally like a Collie or dog experienced home for Douglas. If you can offer Douglas the loving home he deserves, please get in touch: homing@aadogrescue.org.uk
