Do you have space in your home & heart for beautiful Nyla?

Nyla here is a 1-year-old, small German Shepherd cross who arrived with us after her previous owner was struggling to give her the time & exercise she needs.

She is an excitable girl who is very enthusiastic about going for her walks! We have started her training in this area, as she can be strong on-lead, so she would love to find new owners that will be happy to continue this training.

Nyla has lived with dogs before, but she can get a bit over-the-top with her play, so we feel that she would be best suited to a home with another medium to large dog, who would be happy with a new, bouncy friend.

We think it would be beneficial for Nyla to attend training classes with her new family, so that she can also bond with them too.

She is a very smart girl who needs to be kept mentally & physically stimulated, so we feel that active owners would be a great match for this girl, to keep her happy & healthy.

We believe that Nyla could live with adults & potentially teenagers who are comfortable around large dogs, and she would be happiest in a home where she will have someone around during the day, as she can struggle with being left on her own.

It would also be important for Nyla's new family to help her with travelling, as she can find it a bit much at times, as she hasn't had much opportunity in the past to travel.

If you would like to find out more about this gorgeous girl, please visit our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/54686 and contact the team at our Wingletang centre, who would love to hear from you.

Gorgeous Fudge has been in care for a while at Warrington Cat Centre, possibly overlooked as she is an older lady. She is a gentle girl who is looking for a quiet adult only home where she can enjoy her retirement. She enjoys a stroke but mostly just likes to relax and be admired. Think Fudge could be the perfect fit for you? Learn more about adopting her: http://spr.ly/AdoptFudge 🐱

Say 'hello' to Sylvie!

We currently have 4 stunning Akita puppies in our care, including beautiful Sylvie here, who are approximately 4 months old.

We are looking to rehome these youngsters individually, with families who either have experience of Akitas (or other large breeds), or are willing to learn about them.

These big bundles of fluff are going to grow into very large dogs, and they could weigh over 50kg when they're fully grown.

For this reason, any interested rehomers will need to be prepared to share their home with a big dog, and give them all the space & time they will need.

Akitas as a breed aren’t for everyone, and we’d advise you to do your research on the breed before making contact with the Lincoln Farm team, who will be able to tell you more about them and their training & rehoming needs.

They are described as being loyal to their family, but are generally quite strong-minded & independent and they can be aloof or even protective around strangers.

Their new families would need to be invested in their development and ongoing training & socialisation, so they can be the best versions of themselves.

Sylvie & her pals came into our care at a crucial age in terms of training & development, and they hadn’t seen much of the big wide world prior to this.

As a result, they were initially very overwhelmed by all the new sights, smells & experiences around them.

They are now slowly coming out of their shells and love to interact & play with our team and volunteers.

We have been slowly and carefully introducing Sylvie & the pups to other dogs, which is something that their new owners will be encouraged to continue.

It's possible that Sylvie could live with other dogs, following successful introductions, but we think she would be best suited to living with male canine companions.

We also feel that she could potentially live with older children, but it would be important for any children involved to be comfortable & have spent time around larger dogs before.

If you are interested in rehoming our gorgeous Sylvie here, or one of the other puppies, please head to our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/product1075 and contact the team at Lincoln Farm for more information 🐾

We'd like to introduce you to Tilly!

Tilly is a gorgeous, 6-year-old girl who arrived into our care heavily pregnant and went on to raise 4 little ones.

They now no longer need their mum to look after them, so it's time for Tilly to put her paws up and enjoy having all the attention for herself.

Tilly is a real character who loves people and she will often jump on to your shoulder, just so she can be that bit closer. She has such a cheeky personality and is really enjoying her 'me' time now!

We feel that Tilly would be happy living in a home with adults & possibly older children, but she would be happiest being the only pet, so she can have her new family's undivided attention.

We also believe that Tilly would be best suited to home in a quite location, away from busy roads, due to her curious & adventurous nature.

If you are interested in rehoming this sweet poppet, please head to our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/product1070 and contact our Wingletang centre for more details.

Introducing our gorgeous, long-legged wonder, Morris!

Morris is a very handsome, 5-year-old Lurcher who is a real charmer and eagerly waiting to find a family to call his own.

He is a happy & laid-back chap who gets a real buzz from being around people, and he loves being out in nature.

When Morris first came into our care, after being found straying, he had a very nasty wound on one of his paws which had to be stitched up.

In order to let this heal, he was restricted to a limited amount of on-lead exercise for a little while.

Whilst he took this, all his bandage changes and vet visits in his stride, the joy we saw radiating from him when he was allowed to run freely again was second to none.

We hope that his new family will have a nice, secure garden for him to explore and will be happy to look into hiring some enclosed paddocks.

We feel this would give him a great opportunity to stretch out his legs, and a chance for his new 'paw-rents' to admire the beauty of this lovely Lurcher in full 'zoomies' flight!

Morris enjoys the company of other dogs and has been happy to spend time in doggy company, whilst he's been with us.

From watching these interactions and getting to know him, we think he’d particularly enjoy sharing his new home & walking adventures with a fellow female Sighthound, who would appreciate his playful antics and match his personality.

The team would be happy to organise some meet & greets with any resident dogs, to ensure all pooches are happy & comfortable in one another’s company.

Having spent time getting to know sweet Morris here, we have also decided that he would be best suited to a household without any feline residents.

We think that a fun, chilled family would be the perfect match for Morris, as he loves to lounge about as much as he loves to actively explore when he's out & about.

We would be happy for him to join a family with adults and children around 5 years old & upwards.

If you haven fallen for the magnificent Morris, just like we have, please click here: www.mgar.org.uk/54736 and contact the team at Lincoln Farm to make an enquiry.

We'd like you to meet Billy!

This small but mighty character is Billy, who is a 3-year-old, male Pygmy goat that came into our care via another organisation, and it was clear that he’d sadly not had the best start in life.

Although he may be small in size, he certainly makes up for it in personality! He is very people-orientated and he enjoys running around his enclosure with his carers.

Having had very little life experiences before coming into our care, we have found that Billy has adapted well to every situation he has been presented with, from meeting new goats to being walked with a head collar and lead.

We feel that Billy would love to find a forever home that already has goats for him to live with and keep him company.

The team also believes that his new friends should ideally be the same size as Billy, or larger, as he can be a bit boisterous at times.

He loves having plenty of enrichment to climb and play on, such as platforms and tree trunks, so it would be important for him to have the same opportunities available in his new home.

To ensure he can thrive all year round, we feel that he would be best suited to a home with accommodation that has plenty of hardstanding and a big shelter, to help protect this little poppet from the wind & rain in the colder months.

If you have fallen in love with Billy as much as we have, and are interested in giving him a new home, please click here: www.mgar.org.uk/52589 and get in touch with the team at Church Knowle for further details.

As the weather is so off and on we think it’s important to share a few tips to keep your pet safe this summer ☀️

BBQS 🍗 🍔
❌ Keep your pet away from any hot coals or wire racks.
❌ Fatty cuts of meat can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and pancreatitis.
❌ Bones (cooked bones especially) can cause irritation to the intestines and possible blockage.
❌ Watch out for left overs including fatty tin foil, corn cobs and kebab skewers.
✅ Go ahead and give your pet a cooled down piece of plain chicken or fish.

HEATSTROKE ☀️🐶
❌ Do not walk on hot days- your dog will be just fine with a few days off.
❌ Do not allow your dog to do strenuous exercise when the temperature is high.
✅ Actively cool your pets using a cooling mat, water spray bottle and crank that car air con up!

Be safe out there ☀️🐾🐱🐶

🐱🐶🐾 TICKS 🐾🐶🐱

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of the animal they are attached to (Yuk!)

🐾 They start off the size of a poppy seed and can get as big as a pea when fully engorged.
🐾 Ticks are found in both woodland, heathland and urban areas.
🐾 Ticks spread many diseases via their saliva, the most common disease here in the UK is Lyme disease.

How you can help prevent ticks on your pet-

🐾 Keep up to date on your tick prevention medication all year round.
🐾 Remove any ticks with a special tick remover.
🐾 Check your pet daily for ticks, especially after walks.

If you are concerned about ticks and would like some more information please feel free to call the practice and we can advise you. 🐱🐶

Why regular wellness checks are important 🐱 🐶

Regular wellness checks with us can pick up any early signs of disease or illness. Small changes in your pets weight, heart rate and overall clinical exam can help detect early signs of health problems such as under/over active thyroid, digestive issues, kidney disease, arthritis and more.

When it comes to veterinary care prevention is better than cure. 🐾🐱🐶

We understand that giving tablets to cats can be difficult! There are a few different ways to give tablets so here are a few ideas-

🐾 Using a lick-e-lick or Easypill to disguise the tablet.
🐾 Hiding the tablet in non salted butter.
🐾 Hiding the tablet in the cats normal food, some tablets should not be crushed.
🐾 Purchasing a pill giving device like the one in the photo.
🐾 Coming in to see our nurse Bradee to administer any flea/worm tablets.

Sometimes our own animals need veterinary care and attention too 🐱 🐾

We'd like you to meet Tommy, who's ready to bounce into your life & your heart!

Tommy is a gorgeous, 4-year-old Greyhound who entered our care when his racing career came to an end, so he has been quite sheltered when it comes to everyday life.

Therefore, he is looking for kind & understanding owners who will be able to set him up with a day-to-day routine, and introduce him to all the luxuries that home life has to offer.

Tommy has such a zest for life and a real jolly aura about him, and he can’t help but make the team here smile!

He is always ready to greet us at the front of his kennel with such a waggy tail and a bounce in his step, looking forward to whatever adventures he will be going on that day.

Due to his Greyhound nature, this boy is best kept on-lead when enjoying the great outdoors, as this enables him to take in all the sights & smells, whilst being safely at your side.

Tommy is always eager to lap up the affection from his carers and he loves to lean into us for attention and those all-important ear scratches.

Due to Tommy's kind nature, we feel he would be happy to live with adults and older children that are used to large, bouncy dogs.

We also think he could live with other fellow Sighthounds, but he would be best suited to a home without cats or small furries.

Tommy is hoping there is a Greyhound-shaped spot on your sofa, ready for all the snuggles, and he promises not to take up all the room!

If you are interested in rehoming this lovely lad, please head to our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/54505 and contact the team at Lincoln Farm for further details.

HOME SAFE 😊
- JOEY has been missing from his home Sherringham Road, Branksome, Poole (BH12) since 8.45pm on Saturday evening 29/06. He's neutered and microchipped but not wearing a collar. It's very out of character for him to stay away from home, so please check sheds and garages in the area.

What’s in Wednesday 🐾

Earlier on in the week we had a baby seagull brought into us- saved from the jaws of a cat!

Luckily no serious wounds and little baby birdy was taken to the local rescue centre.

The RSPCA are inundated with fledglings at the moment so if you do happen to find one please only bring it into the veterinary practice if it is injured. 🐾🙌🏻

“If you are worried about a young bird, the golden rule is to monitor it from a distance. If you find a fully feathered gull the odds are that it is fine and it is just behaving naturally.
- RSPCA

Introducing Minnie, who is a gorgeous, young girl that is approximately 15 weeks old 🐱

Minnie is a sweet but shy soul who was very worried when she first arrived into our care, but has since gained a bit of confidence and started to show her cheeky personality!

We believe that she would be happy joining a family with adults and possibly children aged 8 years and over, following successful introductions.

We'd love to find Minnie a new family who will be happy to continue her socialisation, so that she can continue to flourish in her new home.

Minnie is looking for a home where she will have another resident feline friend to play with, and we believe she would be best suited to a quieter area, where she can explore the outdoors safely when she is old enough.

If you would like to find out more about this bundle of cuteness, please visit our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/product1014 and contact the team at Wingletang, who would love to hear from you!
