A local puppy star of Pete Wicks: For Dogs Sake TV show is looking for his forever home. Gelert, the Belgian Malinois puppy, was featured in the show fronted by the dog-loving presenter.
It is not the first time the reality TV star has visited the local branch. He famously ‘fell in love’ with one of the dogs there, Theo last year.
The presenter and podcast star returned to branch for a new episode. It featured Gelert, who was born at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in March 2025.
While his siblings have all successfully been rehomed, the young pooch is still waiting for his forever home. Staff at the Warwickshire branch say that the puppy, known as Santino on the show, is an energetic and lively pup.

They have worked with him to manage his size and enthusiasm, when to relax, and the best ways to keep him mentally and physically stimulated. Now they hope to find him a place to call home.
Emma-Jane Thomas, Manager at Dogs Trust Kenilworth, said: “Gelert is a lovely puppy who, with some guidance and training, will continue to grow into an amazing and rewarding companion. He’s looking for an active, adult-only home where he can be the only pet and settle in at his own pace.
“Gelert would thrive with adopters who can give him a job to do and channel his drive and determination into activities like flyball, canicross or agility work. Finding a forever home would be the perfect ending for this TV Star, and with the right adopters, patience, and dedication, we’re confident Gelert will settle into his forever home and feel more comfortable with the big wide world.”
Anyone who is looking to rehome a dog, Dogs Trust Kenilworth is open to the public five days a week, and no appointments are needed to visit. People can meet dogs looking for homes, get advice or apply to adopt.
Finding the perfect match can take anything from a few weeks to several months and people only have to apply once every three months. To find out more about Gelert and the other dogs available for rehoming from Dogs Trust Kenilworth, visit the website here
