The Salisbury Dogs Trust recently highlighted some of the most patient furry friends who have been waiting for their forever homes. For residents of Swindon, the closest Dogs Trust branch is in Newbury, where a few dogs have been waiting quite a while for a loving family. Here are the five dogs at Newbury Dogs Trust who have been waiting the longest to find their new homes.
Jake – Collie (Border) Cross
Jake, a seven-year-old Akita cross with a Border Collie, has been waiting for over 800 days. Jake loves his walks, grooming sessions, and destroying toys, but it’s his affectionate nature that truly stands out. He’s a fan of road trips and is housetrained. Jake is still improving his social skills with other dogs, and with some time and patience, he could fit into a home where he can be left for up to five hours.
Dogs Trust describes Jake as a dream on the lead, and he enjoys leisurely walks in peaceful areas. If you’re looking for a loving companion, Jake might just be the one!
Otto – Lurcher
Otto is a three-year-old Lurcher who has been at Newbury for over 600 days. This sociable pup enjoys playing with his fellow canines and loves car rides and tennis balls. Otto is housetrained and needs a home with a secure garden for his zoomies. His playful nature promises to bring joy and a bit of mischief to your life.
Dogs Trust describes Otto as a spirited companion who’ll make every day a fun adventure.
Dodge – Pug Cross
Dodge, a five-year-old Pug Cross, has been waiting for a home for nearly 600 days. As the sponsor dog of Newbury Dogs Trust, Dodge is known for his cheeky personality. He’s an independent pup who enjoys sniffing around and playing, so a secure environment is essential. Dodge can be anxious around new people, so he needs a quiet home to build strong relationships.
Dogs Trust notes that Dodge isn’t a cuddly dog but prefers interactive games and training. He enjoys his walks, taking his time to explore new scents, and is happy to walk alongside other small to medium-sized dogs with similar interests.
Theo – Siberian Husky
Theo, the charming ten-year-old Siberian Husky, has been waiting for almost 600 days as well. Theo is a laid-back dog who enjoys water and naps. His calm nature has made him a favorite office buddy at Newbury Dogs Trust. Theo needs a private garden to bask in the sun and a quiet home with adults. Despite his age, he’s still ready to bring joy, laughter, and loyalty to the right family.
Dogs Trust describes Theo as a loyal and fun-loving companion who’s ready to give his heart to his forever home.
Biscuit – Lurcher Cross
Biscuit, a one-year-old Lurcher Cross, has been waiting at Newbury for over 100 days. This young pup lacks confidence and can be anxious around new people and dogs. Building a bond with Biscuit will reveal his goofball side. He enjoys snacks and treats, which help with his training. Biscuit loves playing fetch and chasing toys, and he’d do it all day if you let him.
Dogs Trust highlights Biscuit’s playful and affectionate nature, encouraging potential owners to get to know him better to see his true personality.
