Ellie, a Labrador Cross, aged about 18months has had a difficult start in life and been let down badly. She desperately needs a new home where her owner is committed to her care.

She was found abandoned at Nutts Cornet although was original rehomed from the sanctuary. Her new owner was not entirley truthful and unknown to CLAS had given her away on 2 occasions despite the fact he could have returned her back to the sanctuary at any time. She is now back at Crosskennen but finds kennel life very stressful and is keen to find a special home who won't let her down again.

She needs an active owner, probably without very small children as she is quite lively. She loves older children though and is very clean in the house. She needs structure in her life and will thrive on a regular routine with plenty of exercise.

Her new owner must have a secure garden/yard, be able to give her a lot of time and be committed to her care and training. CLAS will provide full support including advice and training, and are happy to care for Ellie during holidays etc.

It is vital that Ellie's new home is the right one as she is a beautiful, affectionate dog who loves life and has so much to give. She has great trust despite what has happened and will undoubtedly make someone a fantastic friend as she is already a favourite with many of our volunteers.

Can you give Spot a home?

Spot is a 3 year old neutered Collie who has been in the sanctuary care for around 8 months and, whilst he has settled while, staff now feel he is ready to move on to a new home.

He was badly treated in his previous home and took a long time to recover from his experiences. He has received basic training at the sanctuary and shows great potential for agility and obedience work. However it is essential that his new owners realise that he still has a lot to learn and Spot is not accustomed to things we take for granted. He needs to be introduced to new experiences slowly but CLAS staff are confident that with the right person he will overcome any inital problems.

He is looking for a home without young children as he can be quite excitable and ideally would like a home with an individual or a couple with time to spend with him. A well fenced garden is essential and he needs to be introduced to house life slowly so a garage or a good quality kennel might be useful in the first few weeks, although Spot is clean in his kennel so house training should be straightforward. He travels well in a car and enjoys his walks.

Potential owners will be carefully vetted and would have to consent to liaising with CLAS regarding his future training. Full support will be given concerning training or with any problem that may arise. He very much deserves a home of his own with someone who will recognise what a wonderful and clever dog he is, giving him the love and attention he needs. With time and care he will realies his full potential and there is no doubt he will make a perfect companion for the right person
