Small Dogs
These are our adoptable pups that are 8kg (17 lbs) or less and considered to be small sized. All featured dogs are currently available for adoption in the USA, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Ireland unless indicated differently in their profile below.
NOTE: Dogs have not been cat tested unless mentioned in their bio, but can be as needed (once we receive an application we wish to pursue).

Maricio (M)
Pomeranian Mix | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2020
This wonderful bundle of fur and kisses is Maricio. He loves people and is an absolute snugglebug! He’s quite active and likes to supervise any activities. Gets along well with other dogs but can be grumpy around food, so deserves a home where he is the centre of attention. Here's another video of this cutie to win you over.

Jolie (F)
Norfold Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 09/09/2020
This gorgeous thing is Jolie. She loves people and cuddles and will gently ask for attention by looking into your soul with her big brown eyes. Her white socks and beard make her a real character and her ears ‘do the triangle thing’ when she sees or hears something she’s interested in. A total gem of a dog, would be a great family pet.
-
Paul (M)
Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate 09/09/2016
Don’t let Paul’s age fool you, he is a young soul and full of life and energy! He is dog friendly and LOVES people. He will be your best friend, snuggle buddy and tripping hazard, all in one dog. He is such a sweet, smart, overall good boy and deserves a forever family to enjoy retirement with.
-
Nico (M)
Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate: 07/07/2020
Playful, shy to begin with, and quiet. Once Nico knows you, he loves hugs and attention, but he needs to learn to trust you first. Happily living with pups of all sizes, looks to other dogs for confidence. Nico needs a quiet home (no young children). More pics & info here!

Dana (F)
Chihuahua Terrier Mix | Estimated DOB: 11/11/2017
An extremely sweet and gentle natured girl who has come so far & deserves to have a warm, loving home. Enjoys the company of other dogs but would be best with calm, gentle, similar sized pups, if any. Nervous with strangers (goes very shy and timid), but once she knows you, she really comes out of her shell and just wants to love you. More pics and info here!
-
Lake (F)
Chihuahua Mix | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2022
Takes a second to find her courage but is crazy affectionate once she knows her people. Loves being held and fussed over and is a gentle, sweet natured girl. Would suit a quiet home by herself where she can be the centre of attention or with another calm dog who won’t sneak up on her blind side. Homes with older, dog-savvy children considered.
-
Siofa (F)
Chihuahua Mix I DOB Estimate 03/03/2021
Siofa is a beautiful soul and has all the best traits of a small dog - she’s curious, sassy, thinks she’s in charge and knows she can get away with anything because of her cuteness! She gets along well with other dogs and loves her people once she warms up. She has the trademark Chinese underbite and would be a great companion for walks and hikes.
-
Fig (M)
Pekingese Mix | DOB Estimate: 12/12/2016
Fig is a playful, sweet-natured boy, who has a playful side that comes out once he feels comfortable and knows you. He needs pup friends to feed confidence from, so we will only be looking for a home with at least one other calm, gentle pup. Best in a home without small children as it takes him a while to warm up. More pics and info here!
-
Perdy (F)
Daschund Mix I DOB Estimate: 06/06/2022
Perdy is one of the most stunning dogs we’ve ever seen. Her breed mix is a mystery - her face says Daschund but her legs say ‘supermodel.’ Despite her legs, she is very petite and initially quite shy. Her confidence grows each day and she enjoys one-on-one time, gentle head rubs and being told how beautiful she is. She would love a calm, quiet home to call her own, perhaps with someone who works from home or is retired.
-
Powder (F)
Poodle Mix I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2021
Powder embodies all the good things about dogs… She’s affectionate, gentle, quiet and a goofbag. A little shy at first but warms up quickly and will ask for attention by climbing into your lap. Would live happily with another similar sized (or smaller) dog and could live with dog savvy children. She is eager to please and has the potential to be an amazing family dog.
-
Frosty (M)
Terrier I DOB Estimate 09/09/2022
Despite his fiery terrier blood, Frosty is a cool character. A very inquisitive fellow, Frosty will assist you with any tasks you're carrying out, offering his supervision and expertise, especially when you're cooking! He would love a home with other dogs for companionship and play-wrestling; dog savvy children would be considered.
Cat friendly (bold cats)
In foster in the UK

Elm (M)
Spitz Mix | DOB Estimate: 12/12/2018
Elm has moderate/medium energy, enjoying both playing and chilling. He is dog & people friendly. He’s never seen without a big smile on his face. He will become a shadow and best friend to those who treat him with love and admiration. He has little concept of personal space - your lap is his bed, for example! He could easily live with other dogs. More pics & info here.
-
Florida (F)
Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate: 11/11/2018
Dog and people friendly, but very skittish and nervous of new people. She loves the sofa, anywhere she can sit and watch or curl up in a tiny ball and nap. Rescued heavily pregnant from a meat market, she has gone strength to strength with her rehabilitation, and now is looking for a home to help continue it. We're looking for a calm, quiet house (no kids) to help her relax and continue to build confidence in a friendly and loving environment. More info & pics here.
-
June (F)
Chihuahua Mix | DOB Estimate: 08/08/2023
This petite lovely girl is extremely sweet and just wants to be near you. She is a little shy but really does love people and is affectionate. She is a sucker for treats though and will be best buddies pretty quickly with anyone who will feed her. She gets along with other dogs who are calm and a similar size - she could live with sensible teenagers.
-
Lemi (M)
Pom Mix I DOB Estimate 02/02/2022
Lemi is the most perfect, funniest and cheekiest little man there is! He’s been in Belgium with his amazing foster mum (video here), but we can’t understand how he isn’t adopted yet. He is people and dog friendly, but would love being the center of attention.
Currently in foster in Belgium. Available for adoption in Germany, France, The Netherlands and the UK

Duncan (M)
Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 05/05/2022
Duncan is an amazing boy and is looking for his forever home. He would love a home with people around for most of the day; he does get along with other dogs but he LOVES humans. Once he knows you, he will woo you with his butt wiggles and tippy-tappy toes. He doesn't like large dogs or pups who play rough. Dog savvy kids would be considered for this handsome mister.
-
Plum (M)
Toy Poodle I DOB Estimate: 10/10/2019
Don't let his age fool you, Plum is extremely affectionate, young at heart and ready to make your day! He is wonderfully playful and would suit an environment with someone who works from home or is retired. He adores a fuss and is super loving. He will be your best friend and your shadow for life.
-
Burdock (M)
Spitz Mix I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2021
Handsome fluff-bag Burdock is a curious little man who enjoys living with his friends and supervising the activities of others. He’s friendly ad affectionate once he knows you and will ask for gentle head-scratches by putting his paws up to you. He could live with other dogs and dog-savvy teenagers.
-
Patty (F)
Toy Poodle I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2022
This gentle soul is Patty. She gets along well with other dogs and calmly seeks out human attention and affection. She is very good when being held and handled in general. She is very placid and would love a home to wander around in, a human to sleep in bed with and maybe a cheeky garden where she can nap in the sun.
-
Beech (M)
Bichon Frise I DOB Estimate: 12/12/2016
Beech is blind, he can potentially see a tiny bit of light and shapes, but is mostly blind. Don't be fooled, he is a bouncy, energetic little goof. Full of life and confidence. People friendly, very needy and snuggly! Wants lots of love and attention. Very dog & cat friendly. More pics and info here!
-
DuDu (F)
Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate: 09/09/2022
People friendly & loves attention. Dog friendly and isn't lacking confidence, she loves to instigate play with almost every pup she comes across. High energy, bouncy little girl! She'd do well in a house with one or two energetic pups she can play with, but it'd be best if they are on the small side for safety. More pics and info here!
-
Mister (M)
Poodle Mix I 10/10/2021
A classic poodle mix with enviable creamy white / honey coloured hair, this boy knows how stunning he is. He’s a playful, cuddly boy who will gallop around the yard like a horse on a spring day when he’s excited. He’s on the ‘larger’ end of our small dogs size range but is still definitely a little lad who could fit perfectly into anyone’s home.
-
Frankie (M)
Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 10/10/2022
Frankie is a real gentleman - a little shy and cautious to start with but full of patience and respectful of your personal space but with the potential for terrier-style zoomies. He takes a hot second to get his confidence but would be a rewarding boy to have in the home. He’d love a place without much noise and chaos, maybe with a similar sized, calm dog for company.
-
Ursie (F)
Terrier Mix | DOB Estimate: 01/01/2022
Ursie is a little lovebug. She’s very people orientated, and will giddily hop over to you with her paw outstretched ready to jump onto your lap. Unlike most terriers she’s patient and undramatic, so would be happiest living with other calm dogs, or as an only dog. More pics and info here!
Adoption FAQs
-
Oh yes! Due to our tiny sized team, we get what we can updated but have tons of amazing dogs available for adoption. Feel free to send in a general application saying what you are looking for and we can help you find your match! We have hundreds of adoptable animals at all times.
-
We only adopt where we have a support network, ensuring we can always be there for our rescues even after adoption so there's minimal risk of any failings. We work with partner rescues but we also handle adoptions privately. The last thing we would want after all of their rehabilitation, is for them to leave us to be failed again by humans and undo all their progress.
-
1) We receive an application (you can apply for a particular animal, or leave it blank if you are open to our suggestions)
2) We review the applications usually within a week. Be sure to check spam folder!
3) If we wish to pursue yours, you'll be invited for a homecheck.
4) If the homecheck is approved, we will then start the matching process. We will ensure that we feel the pup/cat is a good fit.
5) Once the match is secured, we will begin travel plans. It can take on average between 1-4 months, depending on the location.

All you pay for is transportation home. Your pet will also be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered + medically examined for behavioral or medical conditions to reduce any surprises.
