Unless stated otherwise, all dogs listed in this section are available for adoption. Please read each description carefully for full information. All of our animals leave with an adoption pack.


Please note the area in which the dog is currently in foster. 


You will be expected to travel for meet‑and‑greets as many times as necessary.


Assessments of our dogs are ongoing. Although we temperament‑test in a variety of situations, we cannot predict exactly how a dog will behave when they first arrive in your home. Support is always available.



Please read through the requirements and ensure you meet the criteria before applying.


Home checks and adoption fees apply.


If you have had a home check completed and passed by BeKind within the last four months, and you meet all criteria, please drop us a message and we’ll be happy to have a chat.

Banjo - Mastin Crossbreed

Banjo turns 7 in September 2026. He is a bouncy, happy boy, full of enthusiasm, always ready to say hello, and very keen to take treats. He loves a cuddle too. As a large Mastin, he needs an understanding and experienced home.


Because of his big, goofy energy, we ask for no small children. We also ask that Banjo is the only dog in the home. We do not know how he will be with other dogs, and we feel it is kinder and safer for everyone if he is the only pet. We can support gentle introductions to life outside of kennels and help him adjust to the wider world.


Banjo will need time to settle into his new home. He is bursting with love and energy, and we feel it would be wonderful for him to receive all the attention he deserves. His humans will need patience and understanding as he finds his feet.


His adopters must have large guardian‑breed experience and be able to provide safe separation when needed, giving Banjo his own space to relax and decompress whenever he chooses.


Banjo has received excellent care, but he now truly needs a home environment. We will provide full support and guidance to help Banjo and his new family succeed.


He has spent too long in kennels. Although he does get time in the house and settles beautifully, he will still need to adjust to a new environment and routine.


Banjo needs space. He loves to run, do zoomies, and enjoy himself. He would also appreciate a quiet area of his own for resting and settling in.


This boy has so much love to give. He adores everyone at the kennels, but we know he needs a sofa to call his own… or a lovely big comfy bed!


Banjo has had surgery on both hips due to hip dysplasia. He is now affectionately known as “Bionic Hips” because he bounds and jumps around with confidence and comfort. Other than this, he is fully fit and ready for adventures—with slow, steady build‑ups of course.

He is currently in Barrow‑Upon‑Humber. Multiple meet‑and‑greets will be required. Home checks and an adoption fee apply.


If you would like to know more about Banjo or feel you may be the right match for him, please get in touch for a chat.
