From shivering to endless kisses.

Can live with cats: Unknown
Can live with dogs: Single-dog household
Can live with children: Unknown

From a physically shivering and petrified dog to a smiley, bouncy and never ending kissing dog – her eyes convey profound affection. Duffy is a sweet, obedient and charismatic soul who absolutely adores her human friends. She was previously returned to the rescue and has undergone a remarkable transformation from the scared, visibly trembling dog initially encountered to her current confident, loving self.

Duffy is photogenic and enjoys posing for pictures, though she has had limited meet-and-greet experiences. Meeting new people presents challenges for her, though treats and sausages help facilitate connections.

Duffy must be placed as a single dog household with an owner who can dedicate individual attention to her. She is approaching 6 years old. She seeks a relaxed lifestyle with couch companionship and affection, though she experiences zoomies and maintains good impulse control.

Located in Worcestershire.

Adoption fee: £250.

Sponsor a dog

Most of our dogs are in paid kennels while they wait — a real cost, every single day. Monthly sponsorship from as little as £5/month helps cover those costs and means a dog has someone rooting for them. You’ll receive updates and photos for as long as they are with us.

Ava

Female

Ava is a beautiful 6-year-old girl who has spent much of her life in rescue and needs a very patient, committed home. Once she trusts you she is affectionate, clever and full of kisses, but she needs slow introductions, a quiet routine and time to settle at her own pace.

Aliza

Female

Aliza was adopted as a puppy and returned to High Hopes in 2024, and she has spent over 18 months waiting in kennels. She is anxious at first but sweet underneath, and she needs patient humans, a quieter home, and a playful doggy friend to help her feel safe again.
