Hughie, Collie x Staffie, DOB 09, Gatwick

Hughie, Collie x Staffie, DOB 09, Gatwick



Homing Requirements: Hughie needs a united family who loves his energy and loves in fact everything about him. Collies need an active life style and Staffies love their home! Fair sized secure garden with regular social walks on tap, an inclusive home ... what more could a dog want!

His Story: Hughie was found in Cardiff as an 8 month old pup and 5 months later the pound had to find a rescue place as they were pushing their limits as a 'no kill' pound. We agreed to take him and what a fabulous dog. Neutered needs vacs etc.

Advert: Hughie has a huge heart. He is a Collie so he needs it for activity and a Staffie so a whole lotta loving to be done! A happier dog you'll never find. We have rescued a lot of the breed mix and they make fabulous family dogs for an active family. Hughie has put on weight, but will soon lose it. He makes friends easily, but will need time to settle and understand the expectations of him.

Given a field to explore - it isn’t big enough for his smile. Given a home of his own and you have the most devoted of dogs. Hughie has us singing! Once out of his kennel, he settles and he opens nature up to you as he delights. Housetraining may need a little work initially, but he'll want to please. If you have patience to settle a dog after its been kennelled for 5 months and have the determination to give him what he deserves then you have a ticket to ride!

"Please note this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

If you are interested in re-homing please complete our homing questionnaire so we can ensure our dogs are matched and will suit your circumstances/lifestyle.




***PLEASE NOTE: We are a rescue finding dogs their forever homes. We usually ask for a minimum donation of £150 at the time of adoption, for each dog, to help us continue helping homeless dogs***.

An update on Lynne on Hughie:

"Hughie know that we love you...what a tonic you are!

I don't know about Staffiex - I think Hughie is Staffiex2!






This is Hughie full speed, loving a run off lead ... oh Hughie enjoy"!






Hughie is currently in boarding kennels and available for foster until his forever home comes along. Are you able to help him?

An update from Susiebee, one of our volunteers:

"Out with Hughie who was being very cheeky!


Plus there were so many exciting smells in the fields he was more of a bloodhound than a Staffie! He did look up occasionally though.

He even posed just the once. But he is a busy boy and interested in everything so this was a lucky shot!


Hughie is in boarding kennels and available for foster until his forever home come along.

An update from Marie, one of our volunteers:

“Hughie was my first walk of the day and the second time I've walked him. Hughie is a lovely dog and is really desperate for lots of affection and regular exercise, which he is just not getting quite enough of at the moment and as a result is getting a little stressed in kennels. Once away from the kennels Hughie transforms into a wonderful dog with a very smiley face and waggy tail. Hughie absolutely loves a cuddle and has a few good tickly spots which have to be scratched! Didn't quite manage to capture his gorgeous expressions, but trust me he is a stunner!



Hughie had a long walk with Judy the other day and then a long walk with Buddy. A bit rainy, but we survived. He was great seeing chickens and loved water!



Hughie is currently in boarding kennels and would really benefit from some time in foster until his forever home comes along. Could you give him a break from kennel life? Could you adopt Hughie and offer him a home?

Hughie put a forever home on his Christmas list! He put a Foster home in the 2nd slot. He says he really doesn’t mind which comes first, but he would really like a break from kennel life!

If you think you could foster Hughie, even if its for a few weeks, then please complete our Fostering questionnaire online via our website.

An update from Susie, one of our kennel walking volunteers:

“Out with Hughie today for an exciting walk with Margaret and Nina. Loose terrier in one field, galloping white horse in the other so a quick trip over a small stream to find a different way back.

Hughie took it all in his stride - especially the stream, he loves water.

Margaret and Nina helped to take photos of him courtesy of sausages because he is camera shy and a busy boy.
