Could you give a home to an older pet? They bring with them so much love ……. mature dogs are still young at heart and aren’t so different from the younger ones. There is lots to be said about maturity. Let us introduce you to the more mature dogs we have waiting for their home comforts. Please call the sanctuary to make an appointment to meet them 01302 711330 office hours. You can see those waiting on the website too. www.mayflowersanctuary.co.uk

APPEAL FOR BONNIE
Bonnie is one of our very long stay residents. She has been unfortunately overlooked.
Bonnie is a quiet girl, and all she wants is a quiet life. She likes sitting on your lap and likes her routine.
Due to her being a long stay resident, she may be a bit nervous but she has improved a lot lately. It’s just that she needs to feel safe again and once she gets to know you, she will become a loyal companion.

Don’t be put off by the fact a cat has been overlooked for so long. They really can be overlooked through no fault of their own. They just haven’t met their own special people yet. If you feel you could open your heart and home to Bonnie please give the Cattery a call. Office hours: 07526 127010. Thankyou.

Thankyou to Alexia True, Kelly Jones and “Lucy’s Nanna”. 🥰

I’m looking for my forever home ♥️

🩷🌷OUR GIRL HARRIETTA🌷🩷 Another appeal for one of our long stays, Harri🩷 After a long wait of 813 days (…and counting)🥺💔 Harrietta is yet to find her forever home😞 We are desperately searching for somewhere she can call her home, although she loves everyone at Mayflower - it’s time she had a sofa of her very own💔🤞🏼 Harrietta is around 7 years old and originally from Romania🩷 She needs someone who is looking for a loyal companion, who loves to spend quality time with their fur baby!🥰 She does need to be the only dog in the home, however she can have doggy friends!🩷 She does need a confident owner, who will advocate for her if needed - she can sometimes be reactive to strangers and other dogs, but through training she is doing SO WELL!💪🏼 She’s an absolute sweetheart and just wants to be loved by her people🫶🏼 She’s okay to be left and does settle really well on her own, as long as she’s got a comfy bed!🥰 She loves to zoom and play, especially with her toys!😆 Kirsty, one of our amazing dog walking volunteers, has built a beautiful relationship with Harri - as you can see from the video!😍 Watch below to see what Kirsty has to say about our girl!🥰 If you are interested in adopting Harrietta, please contact us on 01303 711330 and we can discuss the next steps🤞🏼🩷🌷

✨💛GOLDIE💛✨ This little Pomeranian has had a tough start to his life🥺 Coming into kennels at only 7 months old, already with major trust issues and no socialisation😢 He has struggled to find his forever home due to his initial fear, which can sometimes lead to him making decisions without thinking because he feels easily threatened💔 But as you can see, this boy has come a long way - now after being with us for 8 months with little interest, he really needs someone special to open their heart to him…🥺 Jayne, one of our amazing volunteer dog walkers has been building a relationship with Goldie✨💛 She has given him time and patience when walking him for a couple of days each week and the difference is incredible!🙏🏼 Goldie is looking for an adult only household with no other pets🤞🏼 He needs somebody who has got the time, patience and experience to deal with his fear based behaviours🙏🏼 He is the sweetest little boy once he trusts you, as you can see!🥹 Please watch the video and see what Jayne has to say about our Goldie🥺🫶🏼 If you are interested, we would be happy to discuss suitability and the next steps!🤞🏼

More from Gareth and team at sure4pets. Thankyou again for your kindness. If you would like to donate then please get in touch. Thankyou x

Happy Gotcha Day Beau. x

Olive-Pig and Daisy had their first outing to the paddock! It's safe to say they'll sleep well tonight! 🫒🐽🌼❤️

Rex in his forever home and having a great time out walking ( well running! )

⭐️🤞🏼One of our long stay dogs - Basil🤞🏼⭐️ Basil is around 9.5 years old and he is longing for his forever home🙏🏼 Originally coming to us in 2022, he’s been out to a home once but sadly returned😔 He’s now been with us for far too long and his only fault is that he isn’t keen on other dogs🥺 But as you can see from the video, he is getting so much better with time, patience and training🤞🏼 He doesn’t ask for a lot - cuddles, love, playtime and snacks💙 Who can give this senior boy the life that he deserves?💔 Please find him on our website to see his full write up🫶🏼
