5. Boo - two year old Siberian Husky
Boo is a very active, fun and friendly dog. He can be strong on the lead and has a strong prey drive. Raystede has also said Boo is an escape artist and can try and bolt through doors. He will need a secure garden to play in. He could possibly live with confident, respectful children if they are used to larger dogs, and he could live with another dog of similar energy match as he can be boisterous. Photo: Raystede
6. Quinn - 11 month old Collie cross
Quinn, unfortunately, has already been passed through a few unsuitable homes before arriving in the care of Raystede and will require a home able to meet her high-level needs for physical and mental enrichment. Her new owners will also need to commit to full training support generally and especially around her high arousal and frustration-based behaviours. She ideally needs an active home interested in dog sports like cani-x, hoopers, man-trailing or tracking, to meet her activity input needs, Raystede has said. She could possibly live with confident teenagers but may best suit an adult-only home as she is currently very nippy, bites when frustrated and is very boisterous. She will need home with own secure garden area. Photo: Raystede
7. Ruby - two year old Lurcher
Ruby is a friendly, bouncy girl who is just so excited about life, Raystede has said. She will need to be the only pet in the home and could live with older teenagers. Ruby requires training in her new home and her adopters will be supported in learning skills to manage Ruby's frustrated behaviours around other dogs, as she can bark and lunge. She loves to learn and is very playful, she would love a large garden to zoom around in, and it must be secure, with high fencing, as she can easily jump 6ft . She would like a home with owners who are around often to keep her company. Photo: Raystede
8. Pippa - ten year old Australian Kelpie
Pippa is a sweet girl who is still very active for her age. She loves being with people so would prefer a home with constant companionship. She would like to be the only dog in her home but is social with other pups on walks, and she will need her own garden. She is currently under veterinary care for a skin condition, which may be an ongoing issue. Photo: Raystede
