These five dogs at Birmingham Dogs Home have been patiently waiting - some for months, others for years - for the love and stability of a forever home. Each has a unique story marked by resilience and hope. Now, they need a second chance.
One of these dogs - called Tyson - has been patiently waiting for his forever home for more than 10 months.
If you can’t rescue one of these beauties - there is another way to help. Every dog deserves a warm, comfortable place to rest—especially those in rescue. Birmingham Dogs Home's Big Bed Appeal is raising vital funds to provide cosy, orthopaedic beds for the dogs in their care. These beds offer not just comfort, but healing and security while they wait for their forever families. Donate today and help give them the rest they deserve.
Meet them, share their stories, and find out how you can help give them the happy ending they deserve.
1. Tyson
Tyson is a very happy boy, he's been at the rescue for 10 months, he loves being out and about. He can be strong on the lead when excited so is walked on a double clip harness, which he walks very nicely on. He loves his toys so is often seen playing with them in his kennel. Tyson is always happy to greet new people although he does not like dogs in his personal space. | Birmingham Dogs Home
2. Meena - the Malinois
Meena has been at the centre for over 9 months. She's a sweet and intelligent Malinois who is looking for a home to call her own. She arrived at the centre as a stray, so her history is a bit of a mystery, but her delightful personality has shone through. Meena is a high energy girl with a zest for life. She absolutely adores toys from soft teddies to squeaky toys and tennis balls, playtime is her favourite time! This clever girl already knows some commands like sit, give paw, and lie down, and she takes treats gently, showing her willingness to learn and please. However, she does have a boisterous side and can get very excited, especially during play, so she’s looking for an experienced Malinois owner who understands the needs of this active and intelligent breed. | Birmingham Dogs Home
