DOGS NOW AT BRENT KNOLL ANIMAL CENTRE!!!

The dogs have now arrived in the NEW kennels at Brent Knoll.

Viewing of the dogs will now be within the normal viewing times of the centre. 11am - 1pm and 1.30pm - 4pm. Every day except we are closed on Mondays. Please come at least 30mins before closing to allow plenty of time.

Dogs you are interested to meet and potentially adopt will be brought to you one at at a time by a member of staff in our new meet and greet paddock, situated between the reception and the kennels.

Public will NOT be permitted to walk around the kennels as this distresses the dogs too much. If you would like to see what our kennels look like please click this link to the Brent Knoll Animal Centre Page.

If you see a dog on the website that you are very interested in, please call us at Brent Knoll. We can hold that dog on a TEMPORARY RESERVE which means you have 'first refusal'. The temporary reserve can only be held on that dog until 4pm on the next day. Everyone living in your household including any existing dogs MUST meet your potential new dog. This can usually be done over a couple of trips if there are several people in the house (We try to accommodate where possible, due to children being at school etc). We usually cannot hold dogs on reserves for more than 2-3 days as we don't want to miss any good homes.

Misty Ref WD897

Labrador X Staffie, 9 year old, Spayed Female.

Gorgeous Misty is such a cuddly, friendly girl. Though you can see from the photo, she is quite chubby so new owner's must keep her on a diet until she is a good healthy weight.

This is Misty's 3rd time in our care, sadly the reasons for her coming to us were not her fault at all, just unfortunate circumstances of her owners.

Spike Ref WD4015

# NOT AVAILABLE #

Jack Russell, 1 year old, Neutered Male.

Spikes owners were unable to keep him.

He is just the most adorable, photogenic little dog ever!

Spike is looking for a committed home without children. This is due to some minor resource guarding issues. This means he becomes very protective over high value (his favourite) toys and treats, meaning he does not want to let anyone touch them because they are his. If he is not trained out of this problem then there is a risk it can worsen and he becomes aggressive with it.

As you can see he is a very happy chap. He just needs steering in the right direction with the resource guarding. We strongly advise new owners seek behavioural advice to sort the problem out.

No Cats

Dogs - Yes, can only live with a female dog.

No Children
