Meet Pumpkin and Patch 🐀

Pumpkin and Patch are on the lookout for a warm and patient new home where they can blossom into their best selves. These two have spirit in spades, and with a gentle touch, they'll soon learn to share abundant love with their human family.

At present, they're a touch protective of their space, displaying their plucky personalities by approaching a little briskly and occasionally boxing at your hand. But don't let that deter you! It's just their unique way of saying they're not quite sure about you yet. With some understanding and time, they're sure to welcome you as a treasured part of their world.

We'd love to find them both a comfortable home, one aged 14+ and without any other gerbils.

If you are interested in giving them a home, please fill out an interest form here: https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/smalls/73244/pumpkin-patch

Our very special Viv is desperately seeking an emergency Foster home. ❤

Viv is not coping in kennels and is displaying some very stressful behaviours. Because of this we are looking for a certain set up to help us assess her in a more comfortable setting.

Viv needs a child and animal free home to settle quietly and de - stress herself. We would consider another dog in the home, if the home was very experienced with this breed.

Fostering for Danaher means we cover all medical and food bills. We just need you to provide the TLC and love. If you think you can help Viv and us please get in touch. We appreciate it's a huge ask and we appreciate the support as always.

There are a number of ways you can contact us. Send us a message on here. Complete a foster form online via our website. Give us a call or fill out an interest form online for Vivian.

Remember our Community Superhero, Clara? 🦸

Clara took on the incredible challenge of cutting her hair for The Little Princess Trust and raising money for Danaher Animal Home. She visited the home last week after raising an INCREDIBLE £630 and spending £70 buying gifts for all of the residents at Danaher Animal Home! 💙

We can't thank Clara enough for her incredible feat. Our community are incredible and we could not do what we do without all of your help.

Well done, and thank you again Clara... you've made some animals very, very happy! 🐾

SONNY'S SUCCESS STORY 💙🐾

We recently received an update for little Sonny:

"It’s been 9 months since Sonny came to live with us in his forever home and we wouldn’t be without him.
He settled in so well from the start and didn’t stop wagging his tail constantly for days!
He soon found his way around the house and garden and more importantly where his bed, toys and food were.

He was very reactive on walks to start with, but has responded really well to one-to -one training. He is a real ‘foodie’ so this made all of his training much easier.
He now has many ‘doggie’ friends and we often go on walks with them too.
Sonny is such a loving dog and likes nothing more than cuddling up with us on his favourite blanket.
He has brought a real sparkle to our lives and we would like to think that we’ve brought that to his.

Thank you all for letting us adopt this special little boy!"

It is always so amazing seeing updates about our animals in their new forever homes. Every single animal deserves a loving home and we cannot thank our community enough for providing such warm, loving homes for them.

If you have adopted an animal from us in the past, we'd love to hear your update. Please send some photos and a short write up to [email protected]

Our girl Athena is desperately trying to find her forever home. 💙🐾

Athena has had a few meets, but sadly she hasn't been picked just yet... we'd love to change that! Have you got space in your heart and home for this big girl?

Athena was taken into the care of the RSPCA after being found emaciated. She has spent six months in kennels while her case was resolved but is now ready to find her new family and home.

Athena is a lively and energetic dog with a puppy-like demeanour. She is large in size and has an even larger heart, full of love to give. She enjoys bounding around, sniffing, and exploring but is equally happy to cuddle up by someone’s side and relax. She loves meeting new people, though it can take her a bit longer to warm up to some men. Once she does, her affectionate nature shines through, and she forms strong bonds. She can live with teens (14+) who are comfortable around big, bouncy dogs, though her size and clumsiness mean she may not always realize her own strength.

Athena gets along well with other dogs and enjoys meeting and playing with them. While she can become a bit excited and is still learning boundaries, she is generally gentle despite her size. She could live with another dog that gets along well with her. Cuddling is one of Athena’s favourite things, and she loves snuggling up close. She also enjoys walks and meeting other dogs along the way.Her ideal home would include an adopter with experience handling large breeds, someone strong enough to manage her on walks.

If you think Athena sounds like the perfect match for you, please fill out an interest form here: https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/dogs/41016/athena

MEET SANCHEZ 💙🐾

Our Sanchez is the epitome of a collie. This 9 year old boy is on the lookout for his new forever home, one with adults only and no other animals in the home. He has all the quirky traits of this amazing breed so is looking for someone with collie experience in order to help him flourish in his new home!

He can be a little picky with dogs in his face, but will ignore his canine friends out on walks which makes walks with him out in the countryside a breeze!

Sanchez is ball mad! He would happily play with you for hours on end! And because he loves them so much, you could use them for training! Sanchez does know a few tricks but would love to be taught some new skills, he's so smart he can pick up anything you want to teach him! He is super affectionate but in true collie style, touch has to be on his terms! He can also be protective over his food so we are looking for an experienced home to make sure it is the right fit for everyone.

If you have experience with collies and love the breed please fill out an application form and if you are suitable we will give you a ring! - https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/dogs/66196/sanchez

We are DESPERATE to find Bully a home 💙

We get so many interest forms every day for our animals but our little Bully hasn't had much attention 😢

Signed over to us through no fault of his own, Bully has blossomed in our care and is now ready to continue his journey to a forever home. From timid beginnings, he’s grown into one of the most confident and affectionate dogs here—starting every day with a full-body wiggle and wagging tail! 🐾✨

🏡 House trained and home-ready, Bully is laid back and non-destructive, making him the ultimate superstar companion. He might pull on the lead, but with a little chicken-powered encouragement, this clever boy is eager to learn! 🐕💪

💛 Friendly with people and mostly with dogs, Bully does have that signature Shar-pei independence at first—but once he knows you, he’s a total sweetheart who loves a cuddle. He does need a pet free home and one with children ages 16+.

Could Bully be your perfect match? 🌟 Apply today and help this lovable, wiggly boy find his happily ever after! 🏡🐾 Find his profile and interest form here: https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/dogs/07459/bully

Beautiful Blaze is looking for a specific home! 🐾🏠

Whilst Blaze is still being assessed we would love to tell you a little bit more about his background and what sort of home we will be looking for!

Blaze came into our care after his previous owner was unable to cope and Blaze was only kept in the flat. He is under-socialised with the outside world but is gaining confidence around us each day. Blaze may need a little more work around dogs but has previously lived with another dog in the flat who was his mum!

He is the loveliest boy and has been great with meeting new people and especially loves a cuddle with his handlers. Being 8 months old Blaze would really benefit from being in a home environment where he can settle and start to explore the outside world. We would ideally love it if you have experience with either the Dutch Shepherd or the Cane Corso and have a little understanding on their characteristics. Blaze will require some training in the home but he is a very intelligent dog so wont take him too long to pick the training up!

Whilst we finishing assessing Blaze, if you are interested, please do fill out an interest form here: https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/dogs/26483/blaze
