Is there space in your home for a new four-legged friend? If so, these large dogs have a whole lot of love to give.
Here are five dogs at the Suffolk Central RSPCA branch looking for their forever home.
Cody
Cody is still looking for his forever home.
Little Cody was transferred from another RSPCA centre on behaviour grounds.
He is looking for experienced adopters who would enjoy continuing his ongoing reward-based training.
Cody would best suit a quiet, low populated area where there are fewer passing vehicles, people and dogs.
Breed: Terrier
Age: 1 year
Mambo
Mambo is looking for his forever home after he was put into the care of the RSPCA due to welfare concerns.
He has spent most of his life living in unsuitable conditions outdoors, with little interaction with people.
The team at the centre have been working hard with Mambo and he is now muzzle trained and enjoys time with his handlers and meeting new people.
Mambo will require more training in his new home from a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist.
Potential new owners will need to visit him multiple times to work with the team to understand his training needs and to build a relationship with him.
Mambo needs experienced owners that are knowledgeable about his breed and confident with large dogs.
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: 2 years
Teige
Teige was bought into the care of the RSPCA after he was removed from a property following an inspection.
Teige has been described as a lovely boy, who enjoys nothing more than having zoomies in the enclosed field at the branch.
He is very energetic and can lack some manners around people and other dogs.
Teige is looking for an active home that can give him the exercise he needs and continue with positive, reward-based training including loose lead walking.
He is also looking for an adult only home with no other dogs.
Breed:Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed
Age: 2 years
Bow
Bow or "Bouncy Bow" was bought to the RSPCA after being too strong for his previous owners to handle.
Since being at the branch, staff have been working on his loose lead walking, muzzle training, and vet handling, to which he has responded well.
He is looking for owners who are happy and physically able to handle him, as he can still be very strong at times.
Bow can become frustrated around other dogs when out on walks so a muzzle is required to be worn by him when outside the home.
He will need to be the only dog in the home but can live with children of secondary school age.
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed
Age: 2 years
Baby
After being abandoned, Baby was bought into the care of the RSPCA.
"Beautiful" Baby needed immediate medical treatment, an Entropion and x-rays after being abandoned.
She is on long-term medication for arthritis and her skin, which will need to continue in her new home.
It is essential that any potential adopters are willing to follow a strict recovery plan for at least 6-12 weeks.
Baby loves her human friends and enjoys nothing more than spending time with them; she enjoys her walks, although these are limited because of a recent operation on her leg.
She can live with children of primary school age but would still prefer being the only dog in the home.
Breed: Shar-Pei
Age: 7 years
More information on each of the dogs can be found on the branch's website.
