5. Sakura - three-year-old Maltese Terrier
Sakura is another nervous little dog who is currently receiving extra care to support her physical health as she arrived in a state of neglect, Raystede said. Once she's ready for a new home, she will be looking for a calm family who can give her lots of reassurance and time to learn about the world. She could possibly live with another dog if personalities match. She hasn't been assessed around cats yet. Sakura is not house trained and may not be used to a home environment. Photo: Raystede
6. Rico - Yorkie cross Jack Russell Terrier
Rico is a sensitive young dog who bonds very closely to people once he trusts them. He enjoys adventurous walks in quieter areas and playing games with his favourite people - plus lots of cuddles! Rico has lived well alongside another dog but can be worried by unknown canines. He may be able to live with a well-matched dog. He requires an adult-only home with a family who can provide patience and understanding. Photo: Raystede
7. Loki - three-year-old English Cocker Spaniel
Raystede says Loki is a super dog with lots of potential! He is a high energy pup and can be very vocal. He doesn't like being left alone so would be best suited to a home where his family is around often. Although he is social with other dogs, he may need to be only pooch in the home, but he has lived with cats. He will require a special diet in his new home and regular check-ups at the vet.

8. Harley - two-year-old Jack Russell Terrier
Harley enjoys his walks with lots of exploring, loves playing and cuddles on the sofa. He is a cheeky youngster and has responded well to the learning opportunities he has been involved in at Raystede. The rescue said he 'had a deep mistrust of being touched and handled by people' and has been receiving 'very patient support' to learn to feel less worried by handling and contact. He is keen to make friends with people and forms a close and affectionate bond once they gain his trust. Harley will require continued understanding, patience, and support to reach a stage where he no longer worries about handling situations. Photo: Raystede
