5. Murphy
Murphy is a gorgeous three-year-old Lhasa Apso/Bichon cross looking for his new best friend. He is a sweet and lovable boy who has struggled with the transition from a kennel environment to a home on a couple of different occasions now. This fantastic lad will need a very special, understanding home so that he doesn't get returned to kennels again. He loves to play and explore in the garden, always eager to be involved in any adventures! He is full of fun, and is looking to join an active person that will take him for long walks. Murphy is super smart, and has worked very hard on his training, which he will need to continue with his adopter. His new home will need to help him maintain his beautiful curly coat with regular grooming. Murphy would love someone home with him most of the day to help him settle in. He is looking to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the attention, but he could potentially have some doggy walking buddies! He is also best suited to an adult only home who have had some experience owning dogs. Photo: Dogs Trust
6. Chloe
Chloe is a sweet-natured 10-year-old Shih Tzu who adores human company and has plenty of love to give. She is a friendly girl who enjoys spending time pottering about in the garden and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate friend. Chloe is used to having someone around most of the time, so she would love a home where she can have company during the day. However, she may be able to be left for short periods if this is introduced gradually and with patience. Photo: Dogs Trust
7. Cullen
Irish Setter Cullen is a friendly chap who loves making new friends out and about. He could potentially live with another dog after successful meets at the centre. He has previously been around children before, but as he is a big, bouncy boy staff think he'd be better suited to a home with secondary aged children upwards who can cope with his lively side. Cullen's favourite game is fetch and would love a large, enclosed garden space where he can run and play with his adopters. Cullen is used to be left alone for short periods of time and this could be gradually built up once settled in the home. Photo: Dogs Trust
8. Fidget
French Bulldog Fidget is a fun, quirky dog with a lot of personality, who is looking for an experienced owner who understands the breed and is committed to helping him feel safe and secure. His ideal home would be adult only with very few visitors and no other pets along with someone who can offer him the space, routine and structure he needs. He is a bundle of fun and shows his silly side a lot at the centre. Photo: Dogs Trust
