Can you help me find my forever home?

Juno is a 9 year old female German Shepherd, being blind doesn’t stop this amazing girl from having a fun filled life! Juno loves to play with whistling frisbees and squeaky toys all day every day. If she’s not playing, she is usually wanting to spend her time with her owners exploring.

Juno is looking for a home that could have another dog or cat if introductions are done slowly and through advice given by Blue Cross. Juno could live with teenagers that are understanding of her needs as a blind dog.

Please apply today if you can offer this gentle girl a loving home!

⚠️Trigger warning, this may be distressing to watch ⚠️

Fireworks can cause distress to many pets. 💔 The loud noises and flashing lights can be extremely stressful and frightening.

We invite you to pledge that you will not celebrate with fireworks this year.

We have lots of Gerbils looking for new homes!

What is a Gerbil?!

A Gerbil is a small rodent, they are active, sociable and intelligent and are very interesting to watch when provided with the right environment. For older children, gerbils can make rewarding pets but it’s important that an adult is responsible for overseeing their care and wellbeing.

Gerbils do not enjoy being picked up and handled as they prefer to have their feet firmly on the ground. They're naturally quick and agile, so younger children can also find it difficult to hold them without squeezing too hard.

Gerbils are very sociable and should not be kept alone, they naturally live in groups.

National Black Cat Day 🐈‍⬛

Sadly, black cats are often overlooked when it comes to rehoming, even black kittens are often the last to find homes within a litter💔

We have a lot of black and black and white cats looking for new homes across the organisation: https://www.bluecross.org.uk/rehome/cat

We'd love to see photos of your black cat/s in the comments ❤

Daffy and Delta are two adorable fluffy boys in search of a home together! 🐰

They are a confident duo who are very inquisitive and enjoy exploring their environment, they are great fun to watch as they run around binkying to show they are happy, they also love to interact with their toys, tunnels and enrichment.

Both of them have been used to being handled from a young age and enjoy interacting with people. Like most rabbits they prefer to keep all four paws on the floor, however if they hear the rustle of the veggie bag then they are straight over to see what is on offer!

If you are interested in adopting this lovely pair - you can apply via our website

Meet Ari and Ivy 🐰

A beautiful pair of rabbits who are on the lookout for their forever home. These lovely girls are siblings and therefore a bonded pair and must be adopted together as they share a special connection – they particularly love cosying up together, grooming each other and happily munching away on their greens!

If you are interested in adopting them - find out more about them on our website

❤Sooty's success story❤

Sooty came into our care with her 4 kittens, the kittens were so flea ridden that they were close to being anaemic 💔

The young family were lucky enough to be placed into one of our fabulous foster homes where Sooty did an amazing job at feeding and nurturing her beautiful kittens.

Once the kittens were old enough homes were found for the whole family, Sooty's new owner sent us this wonderful update on her:

'Sooty is an absolute sweetheart, she was as good as gold in the car despite the dreadful weather and long journey. She seems very happy, she’s eating and drinking well. She slept snuggled next to me in my bed and certainly was in no rush to get up!
She is so friendly and kept going backwards and forwards between the two of us I have attached a few photos of her but will definitely send more, she’s quite the poser hahaha. Take care, and thank you for everything”.

Anything you order will come straight to us and will directly support the pets in our care now and in the future! ❤

Thank you for your continued support!
