The Kennels

Meet some of our dogs looking for new homes.

Photos and a brief description of each dog are shown below. Due to the constant coming and going of the dogs the photos may not always be as up to date. If you plan to make a long journey to see a specific dog it is advisable to call to make sure the dog is still with us and available.

Could you spare a few hours a month? Do you have experience with dogs? Why not consider becoming a volunteer dog walker?

Could you help by sponsoring one of our animal beds?

More information



HULA provides rescue shelter for both stray dogs and those given up for adoption

Strays may be brought in by members of the public or come from other rescue organisations. Those given up for adoption come from a variety of circumstances: relationship break-ups; owners may die; a baby is on the way; dog barks when left alone; a new puppy is purchased, so the older dog is no longer needed (really!). If you are looking for a new home for your dog, please consider the welfare of the animal and do not leave your pet tied to our gate – please bring him or her up to the our reception, so you can be sure they will be kept safe from the start.

Assessment

All incoming dogs are assessed by our staff, using nationally recognised standards. This, coupled with what we know of the dog’s history, means that the dogs can be graded, these gradings are used by our staff and volunteers to help them know how to handle each dog safely:

Management

Once the dogs have been assessed and graded, a careplan is put into operation. Some dogs need calming sessions and affection rather than long, energetic exercise sessions. Others need a disciplined approach to issues such as jumping, pulling or mouthing.

These requirements are displayed on their kennels, and the volunteer walkers put them into action. They record, on the daily sheets, the progress the dogs are making. Based on these reports the dogs’ level grading can be adjusted as appropriate. These sheets are displayed when the kennels are open for viewing, and visitors are encouraged to read them alongside the laminated pen-portraits of the dogs.


Some of our dogs are also featured on The Dog Rescue Pages
