The animal shelter at Moorlands Head Farm, Temple Sowerby, has been caring for animals since 1995 and pledges to never put a healthy animal to sleep.

These beautiful dogs are ready to find their forever families…

Alfie is a four-year-old Cockerpoo.

Alfie was returned to the shelter for snapping at his owners who had made ‘fantastic’ progress with him.

He needs a calm household with no other pets or children and would love a home with a large garden.

Eden Animal Rescue said: “He is not a dog for a first-time owner. He needs someone that has experience with reading dog body language and acting accordingly.”

Alfie’s favourite pastime is going out and having a ball thrown for him and his biggest fear is getting into a vehicle.

 

Byron is a six-year-old Basset Hound and Poodle Cross.

Byron ended up at the shelter due to his owner's change in circumstances.

The shelter said: “Byron will need experienced owners who can come and make several visits to get to know him before taking him home.”

Django is an 11-year-old Collie dog.

Django was handed in due to his owner’s ill health.

Eden Animal Rescue said: “He is quite lively and enjoys his walks, but he won’t need to go for miles and miles as he’s a bit stiff on his back end.”

Django is housetrained and has never been around children; he has also been known to react badly to a couple of male dogs.

Ernie is a six-month-old Whippet and Spaniel Cross.

The team at the rescue centre said: “He is very much still a puppy, he’s playful, energetic and full of beans. He’s a happy little chap, he’s made friends with all of our staff and volunteers and will be a lovely companion for someone.”

Ernie needs a family who will be around a lot of the time and can teach him some basic training.
