Dogs Trust has made some changes to their adoption process during the coronavirus pandemic.

The charity said: "Dogs Trust Newbury is still closed to walk-in members of the public.

"However, the team have set up a new rehoming process which includes social distancing measures to help keep staff and adopters safe by matching dogs with their new homes virtually and delivering dogs contact-free through the Handover at Home service.

"For those dogs who can’t be rehomed using the centre’s Handover at Home service, potential new owners can book appointments to meet the dog they are interested in rehoming at the centre in an outside play area, or in a spacious area that is separate from the main rehoming centre such as a training barn, whilst adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Barley

Barley is a three-year-old large lurcher cross who likes to keep his mind active but also needs to learn how to relax.

He is looking for patient owners who are willing to give him the time to build a bond and prepared to take on multiple training programmes with help from the Dogs Trust behaviour team.

Barley would like a VERY quiet home in a rural setting which is away from roads and owners who will be around most of the day.

He could potentially live with children aged over 14 and that are comfortable with large, bouncy dogs.

Cody

Cody is a 14 month old Collie cross who is finding her new environment overwhelming at the moment but is starting to settle in and show her character.

She loves to play with toys and cannot live with cats.

She is looking for a quieter home and would like to be the only dog in the home.

Cody could live with children over 14 years old.

Denny

Denny is a four year old ex racing greyhound who absolutely loves his treats!

He doesn't have much experience in a home environment and is looking for calm and patient owners who will show him all of the home comforts.

He could potentially live with a female greyhound if meets went well and can live with children over 14 who are used to big dogs.

Denny can't live with cats or small pets.

Bear

Bear is a nine year old Terrier cross who loves treats!

He is looking for a patient owner and ideally an adult only home.

Bear is a little dog with a big personality and likes to keep busy while being around people.

Due to his reactivity to other dogs, he will need to be walked in quiet areas where he can enjoy time out of the house and away from other dogs.

He can live with children over 16 and must be the only pet in the home.

Chester

Chester is a six year old large spaniel crossbreed who enjoys his own company and keeping himself busy with games such as snuffle mats.

He enjoys country walks but can be worried by new people so walks need to be in quiet areas where he won't meet strangers.

Chester is looking for an experience home that have had rescue dogs in the past and it must be an adult only home with a maximum of two adults.

He needs a private garden with a minimum of 6ft fencing so he can safely have off-lead exercise at home.

He must be the only pet in the home but can walk with dog pals out and about.
