Linda's Private Rescue

Founded by Linda Martin in February 2024, our private rescue works alongside the DCC contract. Every dog receives the same care and attention, and we work hard to rehabilitate where needed and find these dogs their forever home.

All visits are strictly by appointment only so we can keep the environment quiet, safe and restful for our dogs.

George

Bully Type ยท Male ยท Fawn & White

๐Ÿพ Meet George โ€“ A Livewire Looking for His Forever Home! ๐Ÿพ When you can't get a dog to sit still for photos, you know you've got a character on your hands โ€” meet George! ๐Ÿ˜‚ We only managed to snap two shots of this energetic boy, and honestly, that tells you everything you need to know about him! George is a 3-year-old Bully cross who came to us as a stray. When he arrived, he had a broken toe and a few other minor issues, but we've got him all patched up and he is now fully healthy and ready to find his forever home! โค๏ธ He's full of life and personality โ€” but we won't pretend he's a finished article. George hasn't had much training along the way, and he'll need a patient owner willing to put in the work. The good news? He is hugely motivated by food and balls, which makes him a trainer's dream! With the right guidance, this boy has so much potential. What George needs: ๐Ÿก Space to run โ€” he's not a flat or apartment dog, he needs room to stretch those legs ๐Ÿ“š Consistent training โ€” he's ready and willing to learn with the right motivation โค๏ธ A patient, loving home โ€” someone who sees past the rough edges to the brilliant dog underneath Could you open your heart and your home to George? He's been through enough โ€” now it's time for his happy ending. Drop us a message if you'd like to find out more! ๐Ÿ‘‡
Pongo

Pongo

Staffy X ยท Male ยท White

โค๏ธ Meet the gorgeous Mr Pongo. He's approx 1.5 year old staffie X who came into our care as a stray. He is a really happy go luck boy and loves to meet people and gives you the biggest grin and tail wag as he does. He has a goofy, clumsy nature and wants to always be under your feet getting belly rubs. We think he would be best suited as the only dog in the home as he seems never to have been socialised with other dogs, but with patience this could be improved. What is a guarantee is that he will love his peeps with every bone in his body. Come and meet him for yourself.

Duke

Mali ยท Male ยท Bk & Fawn

๐Ÿค Meet & Greet in progress
Just like his pal Archie this is Duke and we could really say exactly the same thing about him. Duke is a 2 yr old male Belgian Malinois. Like all his breed he is really active and will need someone with breed experience to take him under their wing. He will be brilliant in an environment where he is challenged and has always got something to do. He will then repay you as such a loyal/clever and affectionate dog.

Jenny really is a stunning girl, we all love her at the Hub.

Molly is a super playful girlโ€ฆ if you havenโ€™t already guessed from her photos ๐Ÿคฃ She loves nothing more than playing fetch or having a good run around with her toys ๐Ÿงธ It doesnโ€™t take long for her to tire once she gets all of her energy out .. then sheโ€™s ready for belly rubs on the sofa & a face massage โ€ฆ this girl sure knows how to play us ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿฉท

Molly is such a catch of a dog, just look at her happy face & waggy tail .. sheโ€™s a dream ๐Ÿฅฐ Sadly kennel life is taking its toll on her, she knows she is not meant to be there & is stressing โ€ฆ which is heartbreaking to see ๐Ÿ’”Weโ€™d love her to find her forever home as soon as possible, so she too can have the happy ever after we wish for all our dogs - A caring, loving family & a cosy sofa to call her own ๐Ÿฉท ๐Ÿพ
