The Guardian Series has teamed up with Whittingham Kennels, Waltham Abbey, to help these dogs find a home. Can you help? 0208 444 9649.

Gizmo - is a young chap who is our newest arrival. He has never raced as he was far too nervous. He will need someone who can reassure him and help him overcome his anxiety. He would be best homed with another dog to help him settle. It should not take him long to come out of his shell as he was beginning to trust the kennel staff after just a few hours. He deserves a loving home.

Maddie - is 3yrs old and was nervous when she first came into the kennels. However, she quickly learnt to trust everyone and her confidence is growing by the day. She is quite petite, loving and gentle and would love a caring home.

Blue - is 5yrs old and a confident boy who loves a cuddle and is happy to meet everyone. He had a home for one week (which sadly fell through), but he was found to be perfect in the house. He was clean, good on the lead and a joy to have around. He gets very excited when going for a walk but is calm once on the lead. He loves everyone but would be best suited to a family without small children in case he bowls them over with his enthusiasm! He has a "wonky" foot which he was born with. However, he raced with it and it does not cause him any problems.
