Rusty and Marti
Females
12 months old
Abyssinian guinea pigs
Arrived 29th December
Fostered in Buxton

Rusty and Marti make up the most delightful pair of guinea pigs. Not only are they absolutely stunning, they have beautiful personalities to go with it. They are irresistible! They are both very socialable and will often be at the front of the pen to greet you and to have a noisy at what's going on. They both enjoy being stroked, especially Rusty (brown) who will sometimes have a little lie down whilst you're giving her a fuss. The girls love zooming around their pen, and are often popcorning with excitement. They both take food from our hands. They love hay, hiding places to explore, apple sticks and attention.

This pair were being advertised for free on the internet. Circumstances had changed for the owner. Small animals can land up in bad homes or as live feed for some animals.

They have been healthy checked by our vet.
They require a MINIMUM 5 X 2 foot indoor C and C enclosure. The more space the better!

Beau
Male
DSH
Approx 2 years old
Arrived 4th November
Fostered in Macclesfield

Beau was abandoned and had to live in appalling conditions. However, we know he had access to inside and outside. He was caught outside and taken to safety by the RSPCA. He had been in a private boarding cattery under the National Society for over 2 months looking for a rehoming branch to offer a space. One of our lovely fosterers agreed to have him, to work her magic as he's always been a frightened boy, there is no doubt in our minds he has been ill treated. He has been neutered, Microchipped and vaccinated.

Beau is a beautiful little boy who loves to play with his toys. He is still very scared of humans and will often hiss, but he has never tried to scratch or bite me.

Beau has settled into living a house very well and loves to sleep on the sofa or on a bed, but does also like a den where he can go to feel safe.

Beau is easily spooked by loud noises so a quiet, calm household would be best for him with no children. A pet free home is ideal so he is the sole focus.

I feel once Beau learns to trust his human/s he will be a very cuddly boy. He enjoys sitting in the same room as me but from a distance and happily walks into my room in the morning demanding breakfast.

He can be very vocal and can say 'hello' very well 😂 Beau likes reassurance someone is around as he often shouts 'hello' when the lights go out at bedtime.

He is definitely improving as he now hits my hand in the morning to get me up for his breakfast and when I am giving him a lick-e-liks he happily lets me stroke him.

Beau is good at toileting but has had a few accidents since being with me. I think this is down to nervous/scared. He'll need a home
where he can come and go as he pleases once settled.

* You will need to have patience and no expectations. Just let him show you in his time how he can grow *

Yuumi
Male
3 1/2 years DOB: 19/06/2021
DSH
Arrived 14TH December
Private boarding establishment Rode Heath

Yuumi is a friendly and very cuddly boy. He can be unsure of new people but once he gets to know you he will crave your love and attention. He loves to play with toys and tunnels but most of all he loves a cuddle on your knee. He will make a lovely family cat. But no cats or dogs.

Yuumi's owner had sent a very distressing message so we acted fast to help. We will provide information when we receive applications. He was neutered a while ago by a cat rescue and Microchipped. He is now fully vaccinated and health checked.
Sadly for the last year he's had to sleep in a shed. We cannot accept applications from anyone who lives in Macclesfield because he was rehomed privately before and kept making his way back home. He needs a home where he come and go as he pleases.

XL Bullies Judicial Review update 👩‍⚖️

The Judge has found that although the UK Government did breach their duty under the Equality Act, the decision to ban the XL Bully was not unlawful and sadly the ban will not be overturned.

While we’re bitterly disappointed with this outcome, we commend Don’t Ban Me - Licence Me for all their hard work and for taking a stand to speak out for XL Bullies and their owners.

We will continue to call for this approach to dog control to be reviewed and replaced. To make a real difference to public safety and properly protect dog welfare, we need a complex approach which is backed by robust evidence.

Silk and Satin
Females
Rex
18 months old
Arrived 22nd October
Fostered in Buxton

Silk and Satin were surrendered by their owners as their rabbits had bred leaving them with 10 rabbits which they also couldn't afford to vaccinate and neuter. They have now been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and are ready to look for a new home. They are both Rex rabbits and have lovely silky soft fur. They are both very confident and friendly rabbits and will let you stroke them but aren't too keen on being handled. They love their food and will literally mug you for their nuggets and veg! They are great hay eaters as well and love having a bit of veg each day as a treat. They are fine around children and rabbit friendly Dogs and are fairly confident, Silk being the most confident and Satin being a little more reserved. Satin has an old scar on her nose but this has been vet checked and given the all clear. Because they are Rex rabbits and are prone to sore hocks we are looking for either and indoor home with soft flooring or outdoor housing that can provide soft flooring such as hay, blankets. All in all they are lovely, friendly and confident rabbits that will give you many hours of fun.

WE CAN NOT ACCEPT ANY APPLICATIONS IF YOU CAN NOT PROVIDE THE BELOW REQUIREMENTS

Outdoor housing requirement is a minimum 6ft shed/house or 6 x 2 x 2 hutch with a minimum of 60 sq. feet of secure covered floor space, normally a run and it has to be 3ft in height attached securely to the rabbit house, with ideally but not mandatory, the freedom to a secure garden/alternative area for stimulation; exercise, space and enrichment are most important!

Indoor housing requirement is a minimum of 60 square feet of floor space 24/7.
