Dogs for adoption in Sussex: These adorable dogs and puppies at Dogs Trust Shoreham are looking for loving homes - including a Labrador puppy, German Spitz and a Poodle 🐶
Codie arrived at Dogs Trust's Shoreham centre from a hoarding situation. Due to his very sheltered life and shy nature, he is looking for adopters who are happy to adopt him knowing he will not be confident and able to do 'typical doggy activities' in the early days. Despite this, his cheeky and playful nature is starting to show. Toys are his favourite and they have been essential in building Codie's confidence around people - squeaky toys, balls and teddies are the most fun. Codie is currently unfamiliar and nervous of lead walking so a large secure garden is essential. He will need to live with another dog with a calm nature and who will be a good role model to help Codie build in confidence. It is essential that his new home is a quiet environment as he is not used to home life. Codie is able to share his new home with children over 14 but is unable to live with cats or other small animals.Cody will take time to adjust to his new home and patience and understanding are essential qualities for his new family, helping him build his confidence will be a very rewarding experience for the right adopters.

10. Zara - four year old Borzoi
Dogs Trust Shoreham said if Zara were a human, she’d be a princess! The beautiful Borzoi is 'a gentle, elegant lady' who turns heads wherever she goes. However, Zara isn’t always fond of such attention, as she likes to get to know people at her own pace. Due to her sensitive nature, she would best be suited to a quieter home environment, where the youngest family members are of secondary-school age. She is fearful of dogs, so will need to be walked in less-frequented areas at quieter times of the day, or be taken to hired, enclosed fields and cannot live with any resident dogs. While Zara must be the only pet in the household, she is happy to live nearby horses or livestock. She much prefers having company than spending time alone, so will need adopters who are always around at home to keep her company, and especially in the initial stages while she is settling into her new routine. A garden of her own is essential. Photo: Dogs Trust Shoreham
11. Charlie - eight+ year old Terrier cross
Charlie is very much loved by his carers at Shoreham for being so full of character, with his cheeky antics and super smart brain. He thrives on predictability so his ideal home would be somewhere quiet and peaceful, where he can settle in at his own pace and relish a consistent routine. He must live in an adult-only household and needs to be the only pet at home. However, he has the potential to have walking buddies with other dogs in the future. Charlie will need his own, separate area of the home to go to when needing some time out to relax. Photo: Dogs Trust
12. Tula - three year old Crossbreed
A bright, young Lurcher who loves to learn – meet Tula! She’ll make a fantastic companion to an active family who wish to do lots of fun training with their dog, and who can commit to keeping up the various training plans that her carers have implemented at the centre. Much more a fan of her people pals, Tula finds it overwhelming in the presence of other animals and must be the only pet at home. She will need to go for walks in quieter areas, and needs to wear her lead, anti-slip harness and muzzle when out and about. She's a fantastic traveller in the car, which is a great advantage if needing to drive her to rural locations. Tula would best be suited to a home with older, secondary-school aged children who are confident around lively pooches. . Photo: Dogs Trust Shoreham
