Our dogs and cats are going to be so spoilt Christmas!

This morning, we were surprised by a delivery of presents, each individually labelled for each animal! And Velma was, of course, happy to inspect and accept them.

An absolutely gigantic thank you to Sarah and the team at Ardagh Metal Packaging in Deeside for collecting so many things for us! From toys to treats to blankets, I don't think a single thing has been missed!

Even though they may not have a home for Christmas, with your support, our animals certainly won't miss out!

If you have any shoeboxes and Christmas presents for our animals, we are open 11-3pm every single day!

Help us sprinkle a little Christmas magic over the dogs and cats spending the holidays in our care! ✨🎅🎄

This year, more than 60 dogs, 100 cats and 4 horses will be waking up on Christmas morning without a family of their own. No leftover turkey, no cosy sofa snuggles, no stocking to tear open… but together, we can still give them a moment of joy.

⭐ They deserve Christmas Magic too. ⭐

This year, you can give a rescue animal a Shoebox of Joy — a small gift filled with love, surprises and comfort.
Simply fill a shoebox with goodies, label it for a Cat or Dog, and drop it off at one of our collection points!

Our animals would be over the moon for:
🎁 Food – Kibble or wet
🎀 Treats – Training treats or long-lasting chews (no rawhide please!)
🎁 Bedding – (No duvets or pillows)
🎀 Toys – Nothing too tiny
🎁 Slip leads, harnesses & collars
🎀 For our horses – Hay, pony nuts, haynets, buckets & headcollars

📍 Drop-off points:
🐾 Our rescue centre – Maes Gwyn, Trelogan, Flintshire, CH8 9BD
🐾 Any of our 6 charity shops – Find your nearest: ncar.org.uk/support/ncar-charity-shops/
🐾 JC Raw – Rhyl Football Club, Grange Road, Rhyl, LL18 4BY

NCAR lurchers 🖤.
We've recently had quite a few lurchers come to us as strays or sadly, returns. We'd love for them to find a home as lurchers love their home comforts and are cheeky dogs that don't cope well with kennels 🐕.

Starting off, with Jinx.
Jinx sadly came to us as stray and no one has come to claim him, so sadly we nothing of his past. He's 8 years old, and is a gentle giant. He is very friendly with people and loves a game of chase with tennis balls in the paddock! He's not too bothered around dogs, much more interested in sniffing and stretching his long legs! 🐶

Hopper,
Hopper came to us a stray earlier this year, and was adopted but sadly returned due to his prey drive with cats. Typical of the breed, Hopper does chase cats and other little furies, so will need a strong owner to hold him. He's quite bewildered being back in kennels at the moment so we hope a home comes along for him soon. But like Jinx, he's a sweetheart with people 🐕.

Drax,
Drax has quickly become a favourite with staff and volunteers because he is just so handsome and sweet! He's a very affectionate boy and loves a cuddle. He is friendly with dogs too and is eager to say hello on walks! He is quite needy so would suit a home where he won't be left for long periods. Typical for lurchers, they like being close with their owners ❤️.

Jim,
Jim sadly came to us via another rescue and sadly got returned after a few days in a home. Jim can be quite jumpy and mouthy when excited so will need owners that are quite experienced and confident around this behaviour. We have muzzle- trained Jim and he walks very well with it and we hope once he settles in a home this behaviour would reduce. But generally, Jim is such a friendly and affectionate boy who loves a cuddle, and he is also super happy to meet doggies friends on his walks! 🐶

Gizmo,
Gizmo has been at the rescue for quite a while, he's been patiently waiting for the right home. Gizmo can be quite reactive around dogs and being out and about, he's very manageable on walks with the right handling which we will show to anyone interested. He's a lovely friendly boy who just clearly hasn't seen much of life before coming into rescue. He would be best suited to a home in a quiet environment where he can build his confidence out and about 🖤.

Jessie,
Jessie has been in and out of kennels since she was 1, she is sadly 7 years old now. She can struggle in some home environments that are too stimulating or busy. She's best suited to a home where people can let her settle and not be too hands on as she gets used to her environments. Due to incidents in her previous homes, Jessie is dog reactive. She's very fearful of other dogs but she can reactive, she is gen-con trained which helps managing her behaviour. We can explain Jessie's behaviour and quirky traits as she is a cheeky girl. The staff have had years to learn all her cheeky side and can explain her past more to anyone interested. 🩶

Please share and check out our websites for more information about each of the dogs. We really hope their find their home for Christmas as some have waited for a long time for a home and they are quite scared of being in kennels.
