Wilbur is a charming, one-year-old Lurcher who came into the care of Dogs Trust Kenilworth after a change in rental agreement meant his owners were no longer able to keep him.
He is playful, eager, and still learning about the world, and is searching for a patient, fun-loving family to help him grow into his best self.
Wilbur’s ideal family will help him build confidence, especially when it comes to being left alone, which will need to be introduced very gradually. A secure garden is a must for this zoom-loving boy! He also has an old leg injury that isn’t currently affecting him, but his future owners should be prepared for the possibility of future care.
Daisy came into the care of Dogs Trust Merseyside when her owner’s landlord refused permission for pets in the home. Her previous owner had to choose between eviction or rehoming Daisy.
This sweet, affectionate girl is full of enthusiasm, but Daisy can be a little mouthy when excited, so gentle, low-key affection suits her best. She’s highly food-motivated, making treats a great tool for training and building a bond.

Nala is a stunning two-year-old husky with a sensitive nature and a big heart. She came into the care of Dogs Trust Basildon as her owners’ new housing association agreement wouldn’t allow dogs to be kept on the property.
The world can feel a little overwhelming for her, so she’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace. New people, sudden noises, and busy environments can make her nervous, so slow, positive introductions will be key to helping her feel safe.
She’d be happiest as the only pet in a peaceful, pet-free home, and could live with children aged 14-plus who understand when she needs space. A secure, private garden is essential and her alone time will need to be built up gradually to help her feel confident when left.
Kel is a charming five-year-old greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Sadly, his previous owner had become homeless and was unable to continue to give Kel the care he needed so was handed over to Dogs Trust Basildon.
Confident and excitable when meeting new people, Kel loves to make friends and is always up for a bit of fuss and attention. He has a moderate energy level, enjoying his daily walks and bursts of play before settling down for a well-deserved nap. Kel cannot live with cats, dogs, or small furries due to his strong prey drive, but he could share his home with children aged 11 and over who can understand his space and energy needs. A secure garden is a must for this boy, giving him a safe place to stretch his legs and enjoy some off-lead time.
