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.

Interim Report:
Peppa is still looking for a home. She is now 16 months old, spayed, vaccinated and
micro-chipped. She is house trained and her general training is coming on nicely.(07/07/08) |
PEPPA
History:
Peppa was placed in rescue as owner didn't have enough time
for her.
Description:
She is a very pretty girl with a wonderful nature, She has lived outside most of her life
but stayed in foster home where she was very well behaved as long as she was given enough
exercise. She has bags of energy but will happily curl up at your feet at
night. She has a lot to learn but is responsive and
intelligent. She can be insecure with other dogs but has no aggression in her whatsoever.
Peppa has loads of potential as an agility dog in the right hands. She has been crate
trained and is clean in the house but will chew, if bored.
Rehoming
criteria:
She needs an
experienced owner that can bring her training on and understands that her lack of
socialization as a puppy means that she still doesn't understand that when she sees
another dog she can't just run off and play.
Child friendly:
Yes –
very sweet with
children. Foster
home had a 9 and 12 year old with visiting toddlers.
Able
to live with cats:
Not properly
tested as the cat in the foster home was crated due to injury but she didn't take much
notice of it.
Age:
13 months
Sex:

LASSIE
History:
Lassie was found as a stray at 5-6 months old. She was taken in by a lady (aged 71) who
has kept her for the last year. The lady can longer cope with Lassie as her experience
with dogs is minimal. Lassie has been well cared for over the past year.
Description:
Lassie is a black and white border collie with a long wavy coat. She has not been trained
or exercised enough and she can become spooked while outside. She mixes well with most
dogs and is confident within the home. She has plenty of intelligence and once with the
right family will enjoy channelling her energy. Lassie would be more suited to an agility
home rather than flyball as she has shown little interest in
tennis balls but much prefers footballs.
Rehoming
criteria: Lassie needs a firm experienced hand
and would benefit from living with a dog who will not be too
soft with her.
Child friendly:

children.

let his age fool you, this little lad is full of beans. He is loving,
intelligent and eager to please.

but she is very friendly. She has lots of energy and would do well in agility. Hazel gets
on well with adults and other dogs. She would make a lovely pet for an active

Description:
He
is a very, very playful boy
who just loves a game of football, and enjoys the company of people.

where he will receive plenty of stimulation to channel his energy. We feel that he would

FREUD
History:
Freud came into Gables Farm Dogs' & Cats' Home as a stray so we do not have any history
about him.
Description:
Freud is a very
energetic, bright, intelligent dog. He loves to play and is highly toy motivated.
He seems to have possession problems over food and toys so would suit an old dog or home
or experienced handler.
Rehoming criteria: He
would benefit from an active home, someone who could channel his energy and intelligence,
an agility home would be ideal for this bright boy. Will only be
rehomed to someone in Devon and Cornwall area.

DODGE
History:
We bought Dodge just over four years ago from a place in the New Forest. We were told
that he was a rescue dog from a farm in Wales, simply an unwanted puppy from a sheep dog
litter. We bought him as a family pet, with a view to perhaps
getting involved in agility classes. He had some basic obedience training before starting
agility which we attended for about a year. He progressed well. However, due to family
commitments and other personal reasons, we had to stop attending.
Description: Dodge is a handsome
tri-colour Collie, slim, not skinny, intelligent, affectionate, and generally good
tempered. He loves to play fetch, but can become over excited. I know he could do well in
agility given the right trainer and with some patience.
Rehoming criteria:
Dodge needs a home where
he would receive attention and stimulation. He needs a firm understanding of his place in
the home but will bring great rewards. He is a really lovely dog.
Child friendly: Yes
Able to live with cats: Yes
Age: 4 years (approx)
Sex: Dog
Neutered: Yes
Vaccinated: No
Micro-chipped:
No
Flea sprayed & wormed: Yes
