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History: Otis was withdrawn form our Assistance Dog Training Scheme due to possession issues.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.
DescriptionSky 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
Sex: Dog
Neutered: Yes
Vaccinated: Yes
Micro-chipped: Yes
Flea sprayed & wormed: Yes
Cost: TBC
Where dog can be seen:  Preston, Lancs. (22/11/09)
