Each year thousands of unwanted dogs end up in rescue centres, many because of their high energy levels. As this is a quality we value in agility, we believe many would make super agility dogs. So if you are looking for another agility dog, think about giving one of these dogs a second chance. We promise to keep a dog on this page for at least six weeks or until we hear that it has been rehomed. Whenever possible we will let you know where the dog has gone via the Happy Endings page. If you have a dog that you think would make a good agility or flyball dog, you can add it to the page direct by using the online entry form here. Dogs must have a photo to be listed. All we ask is that you let us know when the dog has been rehomed as there are many more dogs waiting to be listed.

This is a free service to private individuals who cannot cope with their dogs any more for whatever reason and for rescue organisations. Please note that while this is a free service, rescue organisations may ask for a standard donation to continue their work.

Working with our friends at Rescue Dogs for Agility Homes UK to find happy homes for active dogs.

SOX
History:
Sox came into our care at a young age due to the ill health of his owner and through no fault of his own. We were told that he is a Whippet x Greyhound. He is currently in foster care in Essex, but we rehome all over the UK.
Description:
Sox is a typical young lurcher, full of energy and with a zest for life. He was born on 28/08/2025. He has the most fabulous temperament with people and other dogs. He can be a little exuberant, jumping up for cuddles and kisses when meeting new people / dogs, but there isn't a bad bone in his body. He is very food driven which helps with training and he is so eager to please. He already knows, 'sit', 'paw', 'down' and 'catch'. His recall is also coming on really well.
Rehoming Criteria:
We feel an active home will be best for Sox and he could really thrive doing something like agility or flyball with an adopter who is willing to put the training in. He needs a home with a secure garden to enjoy (minimum 6ft fencing). He would like an active home where he won't be left alone for too long and can enjoy relaxing on the sofa. He previously lived in a home with a small dog, and we feel he could live with other dogs again, providing they don't mind his bouncy lurcher personality. He can be homed with sensible dog savvy children over the age of 10. Due to his young age, he isn't neutered yet, but this will be a condition of his adoption contract, and we will cover the cost for him to be done once he is old enough. You can see a video and more details about him on website or Facebook.

HATTIE
History:
Hattie is an absolutely beautiful young girl who came into our care just over a week ago after being found straying on a main road alongside little Finn. Sadly, neither dog was claimed during their time in the pound, and with no microchip, we can only estimate her age and breeds— but judging by her gleaming white teeth and overall condition, we believe she is no older than 12 months. In her foster home, Hattie has settled in her foster home brilliantly. She was initially cautious around the resident dogs, but within a week they are now happily playing, eating, and relaxing together.
Description:
From day one, Hattie has shown what a loving and people-focused little dog she is. She was so happy to leave kennels behind, and her tail hasn’t stopped wagging since! She adores human company — if there’s a lap available, Hattie will find it. She’s a real cuddle bug and thrives on affection. The only sad clue to her past is the fur loss around her neck, which suggests she may have been tethered outside. Despite this, she hasn’t let it affect her gentle and affectionate nature. She clearly understands dog communication well — her foster carers describe her as a dog who “reads the room.” If another dog corrects her, she listens and responds appropriately. Out on walks, she is polite and slightly cautious with other dogs, but her main focus is always people. She’s a real social butterfly and would happily make friends with everyone she meets. Hattie travels well in the car and settles nicely. She is nearly there with house training, with just a few occasional accidents as she continues to learn. She sleeps soundly in a crate in the bedroom overnight and has been left for short periods without any issues.
Rehoming Criteria:
All in all, Hattie is a happy, affectionate young dog with huge potential. She is still finding her feet at times, which is completely understandable, but she is eager to learn and very people-oriented. She would be a fantastic candidate for training activities such as agility or other dog sports. Due to her likely breed mix, Hattie will need an active home that can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. She is not a “quick walk around the park” type of dog — she will thrive with someone who wants to truly engage with their dog and make her part of their lifestyle. These are her videos Playing with Aunty Jane this was the first day she arrived you can see why she would be great for agility. https://youtube.com/shorts/yGCowBVyev4?si=aPHpcoNvptPZV_eT One of the many laps she seeked out https://youtube.com/shorts/shl03ju5lFI?si=mRxfIQlOZR54qDl3 First day meeting new dogs https://youtube.com/shorts/Fhb5F-CLnx8?si=Y8RT9YCY3ibKHD_Y https://youtube.com/shorts/b9CGUqkYLcE?si=Rn0HlKXqPo9A4MdZ That waggy tail its so much like a Spaniel wagg https://youtube.com/shorts/4ddY1RvM70E?si=DM-uGne-Ws4W_IyZ In her foster home around the other dogs https://youtube.com/shorts/3DRosq-_xys?si=b8GJcsqYfNh6aaA7 https://youtube.com/shorts/FEACpJEJY-E?si=l0h1edUANuBICwuU https://youtube.com/shorts/VHpyNprM42o?si=0AnwW81HbWAGOGsX

Pru went to a couple whom we did a home visit with. They were the ones Pru absolutely fell for. It was an immediate bond which... tbh meant more than the sport at the time. The couple have had sleep overs with her, and it couldn't have been a better match. They have a agreed to take Pru to agilit and luckly there is an agility training ground just down the road. They took her into their work today and she charmed the boss and everyone else.... Hes house training is complete with a four day streak, She mastered leash training and her seperation time was calm and well established.She's met other dogs and responded well on walks. Her new vet appointment is tonight to see if shes gained any weight. The house was clean, well-loved and beautifully decorated. The old dog bed lay in the corner with a big photograph and a small urn so their previous friend still thought about on a daily basis. A box full of his toys untouched next to it. They were happy for Pru to have the toys and to have the old dog bed. Lots of tears were shed today. I'm glad I could be a part of Pru's journey and the new owners, too.I have zero concerns or worries. They took on everything that i said and picked up her training techniques quickly. The introduction to the rest of the family was successful and Pru quickly has became the favourite.
