ADOPT a DOG FROM UKRAINE

GIVE A HOME TO ONE OF THE DOGS IN OUR CARE

Thank you so much for wishing to adopt an animal from Breaking The Chains. We are very grateful. Adopting from us is one of the most effective ways to support our work as it means we can create space to help another animal in need.


ALFIE

– Male, 1 years old –

My name is Alfie and I am a mixed breed dog.

I am energetic and love playing with both humans and other dogs. I have made lots of friends at the shelter and we will spend the day chasing each other around. I am known as the cheeky one.

I’m very intelligent and know basic commands. I would love to find a family that could teach me more and give me plenty of stimulation.

When I’m relaxing, I love nothing more than a cuddle and am a very loving and affectionate boy.

It would be great if I went to a family that already had a four-legged friend that I could play with.

BADGER

– Female, 1 years old –

My name is Badger and I am a mixed breed dog.

I was given my name from the beautiful ‘badger’ striped marking I have on my face.

I’m very curious of my surroundings and love to explore whilst on walks. I particularly like watching butterflies and try to catch them.

I am well socialised and play with lots of dogs at the shelter but I prefer them to be my own size, sometimes if they are smaller I can intimidate them.

I’m a very clever girl and pick up commands quickly, so if someone could teach me more I would find that stimulating.

I love to be around people and will always come over to lay on my back for a belly rub.

UTAH

– Female, 5 years old –

My name is Utah and I am a German shepherd.

The humans at the shelter tell me that I am a beautiful girl, that is highly intelligent but also a bit goofy. I am always making them laugh.

I enjoy going for long walks in the countryside and swimming in the lake is my favourite thing to do. I also like to play fetch! I need a family that will be able to keep up with my high energy and give me the stimulation that I need.

I am quite strong on the lead but I am currently being taught not to pull. Sometimes when I see another dog I will bark at them but when I’m playing in a secure area, I am well socialised and get on with most dogs.

When I’m chilling out I love nothing more than being close to my humans. I’m a big softie that enjoys a cuddle and a groom.

I can be be shy around a new people but if you give me the chance to settle and get to know you, you will see that I am very loyal and have a big character.

I’m an inquisitive little girl that likes to explore but can be mischievous and very good at climbing. It is important that my new family has a secure high-fenced garden that I can’t escape from. Once I am settled in my environment, I will climb less.

I am a well socialised dog and have made many friends at the shelter but I can be quite dominant around other females. I would love to join a family that has a male four-legged friend.

I love nothing more than the attention of humans and enjoy laying on a lap for a cuddle.

CLARICE (left) & MIGGS (right)

– Female, 8 years old – Male, 8 years old –

We are Clarice and Miggs and we have not had the best start in life. We came from a background of abuse.

Due to our past, it’s important our new humans are patient with us until we know we can trust you. New people are a little scary but once we are comfortable you will see that we are just like any other dogs that want to love and be loved.

We have formed a very strong bond with each other and it is important that we remain together.

I, Clarice, am the more confident out of the two. Miggs is quite protective of me, and follows where I go and copies what I do. We don’t particularly like other dogs, just each other.

Once we are comfortable with you we love to go on walks and be stroked. Miggs has the best teefie smile when he is happy.

I love being around humans and am confident and gentle towards them. I particularly like being stroked and would love to learn more tricks as I am intelligent.

I get a little excited when I know I am about to go for a walk but once I am out, I walk well on the lead.

CILLA

– Female, 1 years old –

My name is Cilla and I am a mixed breed dog.

I love to play with my friends at the shelter but sometimes I can be a little boisterous and dominant toward others. I know when I have pushed them too far though as I have a good sense of their feelings and I will always go back to nurture them. I can be very kind and caring.

I have taken a disliking to builders. I am not aggressive towards them but I will let them know that I find them strange by barking at them.

I’m a very clever girl and know basic commands. I would love to go to a family that could teach me more and keep me stimulated with long walks and play time.

LOKI

– Male, 11 years old –

My name is Loki, I am mixed breed dog and one of the older boys at the shelter.

My history is unknown but when I arrived here I had serious face injuries, was diagnosed with hearing loss (not completely deaf) and my teeth had not been looked after.

My age and lack of hearing does not bother me though. I often think I’m a younger dog as I’m is still very happy and energetic.

I can be quite jumpy and mouthy when I’m playing but the humans at the shelter are working with me on this behaviour. I mostly just play this way with my best friend, Penny.

When I’m not being silly with Penny, I love to be around humans. I will seek you out, roll on my back and demand a belly rub and kiss.

I love to go on walks and walk well on the lead. I get on with most dogs but can be a bit grumpy toward a few – maybe that’s where my old age shows.

I have become particularly close with my best friend Penny. The humans at the shelter say we are the perfect match as I am partially deaf and she is partially blind, so we counteract each other. If we could find a family where we could be adopted together that would make us both very happy.

I am a quiet girl that can be shy around new people but once I am comfortable with you, you will see that I am very friendly and loving.

Whilst I like being in the company of humans and receiving cuddles, I am quite low maintenance and do not crave attention. I’m quite happy sitting by myself and watching the world go by.

I enjoy spending time with other dogs and going for slow walks so that I can smell my surroundings. It is important for my new family to be aware that as I am overweight and have some health issues, I must not go on long hikes.

I do love being outside but need to take things slow with plenty of breaks if I get tired. I will need someone who is patient and understanding of my limitations.

I do get along with other dogs but I much prefer my own space. Energetic dogs can be a bit too much for me. I would either like to live in a home as the only dog or wouldn’t mind sharing with an older, more relaxed dog.

I am very lovable, and enjoy a belly rub and being cuddled. If I could have it my way, I’d become a couch potato and spend my days snoozing

I have been socialised with dogs but sometimes I can be reactive toward a select few.

I have been known to get anxious in the past so will require an experienced owner who can recognise my behaviour and understand what to do when I am not feeling myself.

I also have issues with my continence since my accident, with suspected nerve damage on my rear end. Sometimes this requires extra attention and care.
