Ages Dog of the week

Charley

Gender/Age: Female 9yrs
Breed: Saluki–Greyhound–Whippet cross
Colour: Grey

Say hello to Charley, a deeply affectionate and soulful nine-year-old Lurcher (). One of her sitters once described her as “adoring”, which perfectly captures her nature. Charley loves being close to her humans and forms strong, fast bonds with the adults in her home. Rehoming her is a heartbreaking decision, made only due to an unavoidable relocation abroad in September 2026.

Charley is happiest in a calm home where she can snooze for most of the day and enjoy bursts of play in the afternoons — especially if a ball is involved. While she can catch a ball like a true professional, her favourite thing of all is curling up on the sofa beside her people. Intelligent, empathetic, and emotionally attuned, she thrives with clear, kind boundaries and would do best with someone familiar with sighthounds, or keen to learn about their quirks (such as their strong prey-drives and tendency to gently growl to communicate both pleasure and displeasure - which Charley does occasionally).

While she had a difficult start in life – and was very nervous when first rehomed with us over six years ago, particularly around men and other dogs – Charley has made huge progress. Through years of positive reinforcement training, Charley now walks nicely on the lead (with the occasional squirrel-related lapse), although she can still pull/pant a little when she sees another dog. When off-lead she is not reactive to other dogs, has a decent recall when motivated and when her prey drive has not been activated, and is relaxed and friendly with most people she meets. She also currently takes a low daily dose of calming medication to help her feel calm and settled, which could be reduced entirely in the right long-term home.

Charley is affectionate and gentle with adults and could live with calm teenagers, but she is not suited to a busy household with young children. She is playful and vocal with other dogs, especially off lead, and could live with another dog if carefully matched. Indeed she has spent a considerable amount of time staying with another dog (a Parson Jack Russell) who she is besotted with. She is fully house-trained and happy being left alone for up to 6 hours, although this would need to be built up to in a new home.

In summary Charley is truly special — loving, funny, and full of character — and she is adored by everyone who has cared for her. We are devastated to be rehoming her, but are committed to finding the right forever home she deserves.

Charley is looking for a new home due to know fault of her own. Please see the owners report on this sad case, and the reasons why she wants to find her a new home.

Charley is being rehomed from home, so please contact me direct Adrienne Ramsey 077825 44913 or ageramsey@gmail.com for more information which I can forward on, or to arrange a meet and greet.

All Last Chance Animal Rescue procedures will be adhered to.

Danny Boy

Gender/Age: Male 10yrs
Breed: Scottie x
Colour: Black

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Danny Boy is a lovely boy once he knows you, he has to have a female owner on a one to one basis, this is all due to him being mistreated. Unfortunately this poor sad little lad, through no fault of his own was kicked and abused in his previous home, living day after day in constant fear, hiding and cowling away from his owner.

This is a very sad case due Danny Boy’s previous male owner who was sadly suffering with-Alzheimers and didn’t realise what he was inflicting on his once best friend.

Please therefore understand why our darling sad, confused, untrustworthy, frightened little Danny boy can be unpredictable towards men, and is quite nervous when first meeting you and needs to settle in slowly. Is there someone out there that can reassure him, give back the love he once knew, to enable him to trust that once again, like the song above will there ever be any pipes a calling for our Danny Boy?????? Or does he have to continue to hope, dream, wish for someone to call his name.

Look into those eyes, see his pain, reach out to him, give him a chance, give him time to trust you, give him back his life, give him the confidence, patience and love that he needs, LOVE that we all need. I know the right person is out there, make our Danny Boy’s wish come true, a loving home this Christmas, that day and every other one there on, FIND HIM PLEASE.

MORE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR BOY

For those of you that feel you can give our little lad the right home, you would have to visit him on a regular basis, over weeks, even maybe months for him to get used to you and to start to trust you, so this is something that must be considered.

Danny is ideally looking for a quiet home, with a female that does not have regular visitors, with NO CHILDREN, MEN OR OTHER PETS. Danny needs to be his on boss, not be confronted by things or over stimulated or trying to teach him. Danny I would say at the moment, but who knows in the future, is currently not a companion pet, and would not understand or want loads of cuddles or fuss. Like I say he might be the most adorable companion, but this would take time.

Consideration must be taken when out with Danny, due to his fear of people, especially men, you would need to keep a distance from people and dogs whilst walking our Danny boy.

For more information on Danny please call our staff at the Edenbridge rescue 01732 865530

Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 13yrs

Buddy Is Home to Stay ? He is now a permanent resident! Read on....

On Monday, Buddy finally went off to his new home. After everything he had been through, we all hoped this would be the fresh start he deserved. Sadly, by Friday, Buddy was back with us. While we are upset for him, his return has helped us make an important decision. Buddy is now an older boy who is very much set in his ways, and despite several attempts over the years, he has never truly settled in a home the way he has settled with us at Last Chance. Buddy wasn't given the best start in life, and somewhere along the way he lost trust in people. Yet despite everything, he has become one of the most loved dogs at the centre. He has certainly become my best friend, and all I want is for him to know just how loved he really is. Buddy loves his routine, familiar faces, short walks, long naps, and, of course, as many snacks as he can convince people to give him especially chicken nuggets! ? We don't feel it is fair for Buddy to continue moving between homes and kennels. He has told us, in his own way, where he feels safe, happy, and comfortable. So Buddy will remain with us as a permanent resident, where he can enjoy his senior years surrounded by the people who know and love him best.

Although Buddy may not have a home of his own, I want his life to be just as fun, exciting, and full of love as any dog living in a family home. Anyone who knows Buddy will know he is always checking the post box, hoping there might be something for him. I would love nothing more than for Buddy to receive a little parcel, card, toy, blanket, or some treats from his friends and supporters. Let's show Buddy that while life hasn't always been kind to him, there are so many people who care about him.

If you would like to send Buddy a little gift or help support his ongoing care and the care of our other long-term residents, please get in touch with us. Let's make sure Buddy's golden years are filled with love, comfort, treats, and happy surprises
