Sometimes it's love at first sight. Sometimes it
takes a little longer to find the right one - and they might have been there all the time. If
you are still looking for that special dog, here are some dogs who are ‘still looking’ for
their special homes. They've all been submitted to Agilitynet because someone out there thought
they had the potential to become good agility dogs. Some may require a little extra time and
patience to help them, but with the right home, a little extra time and patience, one of them
could be the dog of your dreams. We will keep them on this page for six months and then, unless
we hear differently, remove them to make way for other dogs.

OTIS
History:
Otis was withdrawn form our Assistance Dog Training Scheme due to possession issues. He
spent the first 8 months of his life being socialised, so he
is fully house trained with basic obedience. He is currently based at our training centre
in Banbury, where we have been working to manage his
possessiveness. He is still playful and will sometimes try to run off with an object.
However, we are now at the stage where he will give up his stolen goodies nicely.
Description:
Otis is a handsome lab with the smoothest of coats. He has a genuinely kind temperament
and loves to please. He is very affectionate and loves human company. We have found that
he enjoys training and is quick to learn – currently mastering high fives! He has shown
interest in our agility equipment and so far is enjoying hurdles and the cloth tunnel.
Rehoming
criteria:
Otis
is looking for a home without children. He will need owners who are firm but fair and are
able to set clear boundaries and stick to them. With the right owner he will make a
lovely companion and will form a strong bond.

CASPER
History:
Transferred from
Ireland with no history
Description:
Blue merle collie X terrier with one wall eye. Will be 'Small'. Very lively
energetic young chap who is always on the look out for stuff to do. Mad for toys and
treats so although he knows little at present he is keen to try as long as it is fun and
would take to agility with gusto. He is quite stressed in kennels and doesn't seem to
have had much socialisation with dogs so gets himself in a tizzy on the lead but might be
able to live with dogs with careful intro once he's had a chance to chill out a bit.
Rehoming
criteria:
All members of family and any existing dogs will have to come to the centre to meet
before he will be able to go home. Adopters can be anywhere in the country provided they
are happy to travel. Adopters will have to attend a talk.

OSCAR (UPDATED)
History:
Oscar was handed into rescue as his family found his collie energy levels too demanding.
Description:
A smooth coated, tri
coloured, leggy collie lad. this young man is amazing, not only in look but in
temperament. He is clever, good looking with his stunning ice blue eyes, and well
behaved. In a nutshell, Oscar is crate trained, house trained, not noisy, travels very
well, has manners and loving with people. The best thing of all is that he has a 'switch
off button!' After a walk, he will just calm down and have a sleep. Oscar has picked up
clicker training with ease, and is so eager to please. He has already learnt sit, down,
flat and we are working on a heel position. He will wait at gateways whilst out and has a
good recall off lead.
Oscar is currently living with seven other dogs of various breeds.
Rehoming criteria:
He would be perfect to work in
any discipline, but especially agility, HTM or obedience as he has the ability to listen
when needed, but then be calm when not. He would be a great addition to an competitive
home.
Child friendly: Yes, but will not rehome
with very young children.
Currently
living with a 5 year old and a teenager.

SKY (REVISED)
History:
Sky was bought by a family as a puppy but sadly they didn't understand her working type
border collie ways and she soon became too much for them to handle.
Description: Sky
has already done a little agility work which she takes to with great delight and her
basic obedience is also good. Sky is a very loving and very affectionate girl but can be
a little timid and nervous with strangers at first but once she gets to know that person,
she is their friend for life.
Rehoming
criteria: Sky is looking for a 'collie savvy' home who would ideally have
experience of working type border collies who are always 'up for it' and need a
consistent ,well balanced mental and physical exercise routine. If you love border
collies and their zest for everything active - she will be keen as mustard to work her
little white socks off for you!
Child friendly: Sky has been around
children and with good management and supervision does accept visiting children.

MILO
History:
Milo is Jack Russell type who came to me through a
friend. He was due to be PTS as he had been biting his owner’s grandchildren. There's a
possibility that he may have been tormented into the biting since the children were
excitable boys. However, he was definitely a biter when he came to me. Luckily with my
own pack and some retraining from me, he is a changed dog.
Description:
He is very loving and playful and although he growls when he is playing has learnt the
meaning of bite inhibition very well. He is also brilliant with other dogs.
Rehoming criteria:
I would prefer him to go to an experienced JRT owner. I have been teaching him basic
agility at my own DT Class and he loves it. He is used to a clicker so would be ripe for
more of this type of training.
Child friendly:
Unknown as he has not been around children since I have had him so, at the least, it
would be under constant supervision.
Able to live with cats:
Unknown.
Age:
13 months

Dog
