Dogs

Lillie and Tess

Age:6 years

Species: Crossbreeds

Time at NAWT: Just arrived!

Hi! I’m Lillie and this is my friend Tess but we’re more like sisters. We’re a sweet pair of girls looking for a home together.

We’re super affectionate and love to be made a fuss of. Tess loves to play with toys and I have fun chasing her around! And then at the end of the day we’ll snuggle up in bed together. We love going on walks, walk nicely on the lead and we like to be groomed.

We’re looking for a home with adults or children age 12+. We could possibly live with a calm male dog if we get on well here at the centre but would like a cat-free home.

Eddie

Age: 2 years

Species: Lurcher

Time at NAWT: Just arrived!

Hi! I’m a sweet, friendly lad who loves to be around people so I need an owner who’s home most of the day to keep me company.

I love to be made a fuss of - cuddles on the sofa are my favourite pastime! I like to go on walks with my doggy friends so I could live with another dog if we got on well here at the centre, but I’d like a home without cats.

I’m looking for a home with adults or families with children age 12+. I think I’m good as gold but my carers here say I’d benefit from attending reward-based training classes.

Mo

Age: 3

Species: Greyhound (ex-racer)

Time at NAWT: 7 months

Hello! I’m a little shy when I meet new people, especially men, but can be won over with some tasty chicken. I do like having a little fuss when I’m in the mood for it, and love playing with a tennis ball, my favourite toy!

I’m looking for a special home with an owner experienced with nervous dogs, who will give me the time and space I need to settle into my new home and to learn that the world isn’t so scary. I can be very scared of loud noises like fireworks and young children.

I can live with adults or children age 16+. I could possibly live with another dog of a similar size but not cats.

Reggie

Time at NAWT: 3 months

Age: 1

Species: Crossbreed

Hi! I’m a friendly, excitable boy who loves to be the centre of attention so WLTM someone who’s home most of the time. My favourite activities are being made a fuss of, playing with my squeaky toys and going for long sniffy walks.

I can live with adults or families with children age 12+ but would like to be the only pet in the home. I’ve had very little training so needs a patient owner who will enjoy teaching me the basics.

Danny

Age: 4

Species: Greyhound

Time at NAWT: 3 months

Yay! I’m a handsome, very friendly boy who can sometimes get a bit bouncy so need a companion who’s steady on their feet.

I enjoy playing with my toys, love my food and will be your best friend for a tasty snack. I’m told I walk nicely on the lead and get on well with the dogs here so could live with another dog of a similar size - but definitely no cats!

I’d like to live with adults or families with children aged 12+ where somebody will be around a lot to keep me company and continue my training.

Bruno

Age: 5

Species: Mastiff Cross

Time at NAWT: 3½ months

Hello, I’m Bruno and I came to the centre as an unloved stray. My nickname is ‘One Ton Fun’ as I love to play with everyone and can even open doors! I’m a big inquisitive lad, so need an owner who’s strong and has had large breeds before.

My new parents will need to continue my reward-based training I’m still learning. I love a comfy bed, especially a sofa, so if you have a spare one for me, it would be just perfect.

I’ll need an owner who’s around most the time until I realise that they’re not abandoning me every time they walk out the door.

I’m looking for a quiet home with a secure garden. I can live with adults or children aged 14+ who are used to large bouncy dogs and would like to be the only pet.

Quiver

Age: 3

Species: Greyhound

Time at NAWT: 5 months

Hiya, I’m a friendly lad who likes being around people. I love to be stroked and can be quite nosy, peering over fencing to see what’s going on on the other side! I like to play and my favourite toys are the squeaky ones! I also love food and treats.

I can be a bit nervous of dogs I don’t know but once I’ve had a few gentle introductions, walk nicely with dogs I know. I’m looking for a home with adults or families with children age 12+. I could potentially live with another dog my size if we get on well at the centre but would like a cat-free home.

Remy

Age: 4

Species: Lurcher

Time at NAWT: 20 months

Hi! I’m a handsome, cheeky lad with a GSOH and bags of energy.

I can be nervous when first meeting new people, especially men, so I’m looking for a home preferably with a woman and with a calm laidback dog of a similar size to help give me more confidence. I get lonely on my own so will need a patient owner who’s home a lot to keep me company and build up the time I’m left.

I love going on walks, playing and running around with a toy. When it’s hot I like splashing in water to cool down.

Flame

Age: 5

Species: Greyhound

Time at NAWT: 6 months

Hello! I’m a friendly girl who loves to be around people. I like to have a cuddle on my big comfy bed and getting lots of ear scratches! I walk nicely on the lead but can sometimes get a bit excited when I see someone I love so will need to continue my training in my new home.

I’m looking for a home with adults or families with children age 12+. I’d like a home without cats but I could live with a male dog who’s a similar size.

Fudge

Age: 6

Species: Terrier cross

Time at NAWT: 3½ years

This is my second Valentine’s Day on my own. I was sent here when I didn’t cope well with a visiting grandchild so need an adult-only home. I’m looking an experienced, active owner who has plenty of time, love and patience for me. I’m clever, affectionate and energetic so would enjoy continuing reward-based training in my new home. I’ll need a little extra time and patience to adjust to a home environment but would reward my new owner with lots of cuddles.

Leo

Age: 4

Species: Greyhound

Time at NAWT: 8 months

Hello, I’m Leo!. I can be a bit nervous at first but it will only take a few moments and some tasty treats for me to warm to you!

I’m friendly, walk nicely on the lead and love cuddles. I’m quite uncomfortable around other dogs so need a quiet home where I’m the only pet.

I’m looking for a quiet home with a largeish garden to play with all my toys. I can live with adults or families with children age 14 and over.

Rafiki

Age: 4

Species: ex-racing greyhound

Time at NAWT: Two years two months

Hello, I’m named after the character in the Lion King. Did you know ‘Rafiki’ means ‘friend’? Will you be my new friend? I like to play with toys! Squeaky toys and tennis balls to chase are my favourite! I walk nicely on a lead too. I can be nervous sometimes, so I’d love someone who has lots of time to spend with me and will help me to be less worried about the world. I’m very affectionate and love human company.

I’d prefer to be the only pet in a home with adults or families whose children are 12+.

Cats

Casper & Darcey

Casper (first image) and Darcey (second image)

Age: 7 years

Time at NAWT: Just arrived!

Hello, we’re a brother and sister looking for a home together. We’re a friendly pair but I’m a lot more confident than Casper so you’ll probably see me first. I usually come over to say hello first while Casper waits until he knows it’s safe. I love being made a fuss of and my favourite game is chasing the fishing rod toy. Casper is still very nervous but I’m sure with some patience and gentle encouragement, he’ll soon come around.

We’re looking for a quiet home with adults or children age 16+ and would like to be the only pets. Once we’ve settled in, we’d like access to outdoors so we can explore.

Sooty

Age: 10 years

Time at NAWT: One month

Hi, I’m a friendly boy who loves to be around people so I’d be best suited to somebody who’s home most the day so I can keep them company. One of my legs is a bit shorter than the other but don’t worry, I still plod along quite happily! I’m happiest when I’m being made a fuss of – that’s when I purr the loudest!

I’m looking for a home with adults or families with children age 10+ and would like to be the only pet in the home. Once I have settled in I’d love access to the outdoors so I can explore and sunbathe.

Sammy

Age: 6 years

Time at NAWT: 8 months

I’m a friendly, independent boy. I like to have gentle fuss but will let you know when I’ve had enough. I love my food and will gobble up treats. I like to play with my toys and have activity feeders for all my meals as I’m very clever.

I’m looking for a home with adults or families with children age 12+ and would like to be the only pet in the home. Once I’ve settled in I’d like access to the outdoors so that I can explore and play.

Buttercup

Age: 3 years

Time at NAWT: 11 months

Hello, I’m a shy, sensitive girl brought to the centre as a pregnant stray. I had five beautiful kittens who’ve all grown up and found homes and now it’s time I found mine.

I was quite frightened on arrival but I’m finally starting to gain confidence and spending more and more time out of hiding! I’ll need somebody who’s patient and will take the time to get to know me.

I’m looking for a quiet, adult-only home with no other pets with an owner who’s home most the day so I can learn to trust people. Once I’ve settled in, I’d like to go outdoors to explore.

Toma

Age: 11 years

Time at NAWT: 1 year 7 months

Hello, I’m a beautiful, gentle girl who was brought to the centre as my owner was moving abroad and couldn’t take me with. It takes me a while to settle into new surroundings, so I’ll need a gentle, patient owner who’s home most the day.

Once I know you I love having a chin rub and playing with my toys. I also enjoy cuddles and am looking for a quiet home with adults or children age 14+ where I’ll be given time to settle in at my own pace.

I’m looking for a home without other pets and once I’ve settled in, I’d like access to outdoors so I can explore.

Daisy

Age: 11 years

Time at NAWT: 11 months

Hi there! I’m a very friendly, affectionate girl who loves being made a fuss of. I came to the centre when my owner had a change in circumstance and couldn’t look after me.

I love being stroked - the best is when they use the brush to groom me. As I enjoy company so much I’d like to live with somebody who’s home most the day, so I don’t get lonely.

I’m looking for a home with adults or children age 10+ but would like to be the only pet so I can have all the attention. Once I’ve settled in, I’d love access to outdoors so I can sunbathe.

Jelly and Scarlett

Time at NAWT: 9 months

Age: 9 years and 7 years

Hi! I’m Jelly and this is my bestie Scarlett. We came here when our owners had to move and couldn’t take us with them. We’re now looking for our new home together. I’m a confident boy who loves food more than anything else in the world (except Scarlett), but I’m partial to a good fuss and chin rub - when I’m not eating.

Scarlett is afraid of loud noises and sudden movement but if you take it slowly with him he’ll come to you and be very affectionate. Just like me, he also likes his food!

We both love going outdoors and would like a home with a cat flap. Because Scarlett’s so shy, we’d like a quiet home with adults or children 12+. We’d like a home without other cats but could live with a dog who’s lived with cats before.

If you could be our special someone, give the NAWT a call on 0208 950 0177 (option 2) to arrange a first date – we’re waiting to meet you!
