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.

WINNIE
History:
West Yorkshire Dog Rescue has had Winnie in our care for two years because we have been waiting for the right home. A lot of work has been put into her to make her the fabulous dog she is today. She has lived in the same dedicated foster home and is well socialised with dogs - she lives with two neutered males - adults and children and has been walked out and about around town and country, sat about in pubs and cafes and loves to travel in the car. When the foster went on holiday, she went to professional boarding kennels and was very well-behaved.
Description:
As Winnie stands 33cm at the shoulder, we believe this little girl is suitable for Small dog Agility or Flyball. She is ball obsessed, she will 'play fetch' endlessly and is very fast. She has been over agility jumps, loves the A-frame and will go through the tunnel, but she's not confident through weaving poles. She is exceptionally fit and has a lot of muscle. Currently her daily walks consists of one hour off lead in a rented 'freedom field' and four additional, shorter walks on lead. P0lus she goes out four times a week with a dog walker around the roads in the town. She is extremely affectionate, highly intelligent and a very quick learner. Her fur grows very fast, but she is easy to bath and brush at home. but is nervous about being trimmed so needs regular sessions with a kind, experienced, professional dog groomer who can get her used to this. She occasionally displays resource guarding of toys and food by growling at the two dogs she lives with, but they simply ignore her. Winnie is lovely to live with, sleeps on various dog beds scattered around the house and doesn’t climb on the furniture. She is housetrained if taken out regularly. She walks very nicely on the lead, loves everyone she meets and doesn’t react to anything.
Rehoming Criteria:
Winnie needs fit, active, experienced owners where she will have a dog sport such as agility, flyball or obedience. She must be kept indoors as a pet and not kept outside in kennels. She is very good with children, but her occasional resource guarding would make her unsuitable for all but the most experienced and confident kids. She would not be suitable for a home where both partners work full time. She needs someone who has got time for her and who can take her out regularly through the day. Her new home must be within 100 miles of West Yorkshire. If you are interested, please go to the Yorkshire Dog Rescue website and look at dogs needing homes. You can apply at the end of her advert. Please mention Agilitynet. You can see her her foster home which has good facilities for viewing.

PEGGY
History:
Peggy has recently joined us after being found as a stray, we suspect another unsold puppy. She is currently being fostered in adult family home with other dogs in Gloucestershire. She has settled into family life very quickly and well.
Description:
Peggy is a confident little dog, very happy, extremely bright. She loves the other dogs and she loves her people and wants to be as close as she can to you. Such such a loving little girl. Visiting dogs - https://youtube.com/shorts/-gcLYx_Fqh4?si=s5u2J14QNmgy1OiO https://youtu.be/PPVgWnH4jzc?si=fVmPxgDt4y2wcKKK Such a bright happy girl - https://youtube.com/shorts/FS_7l3h2vDA?si=DJCIkpJOehKR8MdX Would make a good agility dog - https://youtube.com/shorts/d-9kcXeyS_g?si=tJOCjMMHseKn1heM https://youtube.com/shorts/m7qmAUlcyOU?si=7hKM_Yqt-sDG9X_j With her foster family dogs https://youtu.be/JH-cEecqlcM?si=c627-0efI9OzlvEw Peggy has started her vaccinations, been chipped, flea/wormed and health tested. Too young to be spayed you will need to do this as part of the adoption agreement and we will not home her with entire dogs.
Rehoming Criteria:
People who understand terriers and have rescued before will being given preference along with people with friendly, resident dogs. Peggy is a very sociable little dog and would do well with living with other friendly dogs. We think she would make a great agility dog, so confident but very sweet natured and really loves people as well as other dogs. You must understand the needs of such a young dog, socialisation, puppy classes and have lots of time. Working or busy families with young children will struggle to give her what she needs but not a blanket policy if you are an experienced family home. Peggy is a blank canvas and has no funnies, so it's up to us now to find her the right home where she will reach her full potential and live her best life. Please email us in the first instance for our questionnaire if you think you are the right match.

HERB
History:
I've had him since he was six months old. He's a failed sheepdog because of sheep worrying, not because of a lack of interest. And unfortunately he isn't getting along with my main dog.
Description:
Herb is a big, short-coated border collie. He's as been to a couple of agility classes and loves to please. He would love to be a lapdog for someone, though at 19kg he's a little big for it! Herb has a good recall and walks nicely on a lead. Travels well in vehicles and loves to go for rides on the quad. He is crate-trained. He has just started housetraining as he had previously been kept in a kennel. Can only mix with females dogs at home, though I've seen no sign of dog aggression at agility classes or other neutral places. Currently has the Superlorin implant.
Rehoming Criteria:
Looking for someone who wants a best mate. He'd love to be an only dog, or maybe one of two to maximise cuddle time. Can be seen at my house.

REGGIE
History:
Reggie was bred from our working sheepdogs and kept to become a working dog. He went to an experienced sheepdog trainer for 6/8 weeks but has no interest in sheep. Unfortunately, we are unable to give him the time and care he really needs as an agility or active home due to our current business circumstances.
Description:
Reddish brown and white Reggie is a lovely, loyal and friendly dog. He has mixed with other dogs and children. He's been vaccinated and microchipped.
Rehoming Criteria:
We are looking for someone who will care for him and has time and capacity to take him out regularly. A loving home is all we require. He would love agility as likes to be exercised. Can be seen at home on our farm.

LEO
History:
Leo is looking for an active rural home. Town life is not suiting him even though there are fields nearby which unfortunately now are underwater. Due to my declining health, following a bout of Covid, I cannot give him the level of activity he needs. He has lived with me and his older half sister since he was 10 weeks old. She has not taken to him at all and makes it clear she should be the only dog.
Description:
Leo is a tall, flat coat collie. He is energetic, fast and very quick to learn. He loves training. He likes running with a cyclist and chasing balls and he absolutely adores water. He is affectionate and loves a cuddle. He is crate and bed trained and travels well in a car. While I have no experience of agility, I have been told that Leo would be very good at it. His father is a retired agility dog and his mother comes from a working farm. Leo seems to respond better to men. He is currently receiving training with professional trainer as he can be anxious around other dogs. All his vaccinations are up to date and not needed for a year. Recent clear health check.
Rehoming Criteria:
A rural setting would suit Leo. He is definitely not suitable to busy town life. Untested with cats and is used to children from aged 7 upwards and enjoys playing games with them. As he is currently not enjoying company of his older 'diva' of a sister, I am not sure how he'd be with other dogs in household. Can be seen at his home.

COOPER
History:
I have been asked by the owner to find a new home for Cooper. He is much much loved, but he does not like the noise and chaotic nature of busy household. It's just not not the right environment for him.
Description:
Cooper is an affectionate and well mannered collie. He has a strong work ethic and has experience of agility, hoopers and scentwork. Whilst he's had training, he never competed in any of those disciplines.
Rehoming Criteria:
He would ideally be suited to an active, experienced collie home where he will have a job to like agility or some other dog sport. He can be nervous of meeting adult men so an introduction would have to be taken slowly, helped by a toy. If you are interested, please email , ring or What'sApp who can provide a far more comprehensive description along with his pedigree.

MISTY
History:
Misty was a Romanian rescue and the current owner's sister had her from around six months old but had problems after having a baby. The current owner has had her for a year but is not a dog lover. Misty is now three 3 years old now. Her birthday was 1st February.
Description:
Misty is a slim, medium-build dog with one floppy ear! She's lively but biddable and would enjoy training. I suspect one of the problems is she gets bored so needs an activity to engage her brain. She's young enough and mature enough to really make a go of it. She used to be nervous around cars but has become a lot calmer as she has been walked a lot more on the streets. She is also now willing to jump into the car with no resistance.
Rehoming Criteria:
None as long as she gets a good home.

BRUCE
History:
We have owned Bruce since he was eight weeks of age. Unfortunately, due to our ill health, we have realised that he his missing out on the exercise he needs. This is a very very reluctant rehoming. He will only go to the perfect home. He has a life time back up with us so if things don't work out with new owners, then he can be returned to us.
Description:
Bruce is a tan/red coloured Kelpie. He is over weight, currently 29.5kg due to lack of exercise. He is a loving boy who likes his kisses and cuddles. Bruce is very focal being a kelpie. He does a lot of talking and can be stubborn at times through lack of the correct exercise. He currently lives with a female dog of the same age but can get overly excited with her. Luckily, she's a confident girl and will put him in his place. Bruce loves tug of war and will play this for hours. He has basic training i.e. sit, stay, wait but will need further training to get rid of his bad habits. Bruce is a very very strong harness puller, he wants to get to where he thinks he wants to go to, treats will not work with this, he does not like being restricted to a lead. Bruce is a very strong puller, and we think he would be great at canicross or similar active sport. Recall only been tried in an enclosed field, never off lead in open public space. Bruce needs a chance to show his full potential. Bruce will bark in the car through excitement.
Rehoming Criteria:
Bruce will only be rehomed to an active, sporting home. He needs a purpose, and a job. A walk around the block will not do. He likes his home comforts so the new owners would need to be happy with him on the sofa and beds etc. The new owners must have the patience with him. He does not react well to any form of physical punishment and this should never be a form of training. No children under 16 and no cats. He could live with another dog but only a female of the same approximate size. Ideally, we would like to keep in touch with Bruce to see how he has progressed. Any prospective new owners will need to meet him a couple of times prior to rehoming. Home checks will be made without exception by Kelpie Welfare UK. Please do feel to make contact with me. Any monies received for Bruce will be donated to Kelpie Welfare UK.
