Our Dogs
Nemo - Our rescue Pomeranian from Battersea. Nemo is full of energy, some might say he’s like a Malinois! Nemo has some nice social skills so you may see him out stooging
Otto - Our rescue German Spitz Klein. Otto was previously attacked by dogs he lived with being rehomed to us. He is a sweet gentle boy who is learning to grow confidence and better social skills around other dogs.
Fizz - Our lovely steady German Spitz Mittel girl! She’s been with us since a pup and has some good social skills so you may see her out stooging.
Arlo - Our latest addition, a rescue Dalmatian from Battersea. Arlo is a lovely social boy but lacked some foundational training when he joined us. He is in the process of learning some new useful life skills
