Meet Fern! Our 3 years old Lurcher X Whippet cross, who is ready for her new home!

Fern arrived at the centre nervous and unsure, but with enough love, care and patience, she soon came out of her shell and proved herself to be a sweet and friendly girl.

Fern can still be a little aloof and unsure, but with enough gentle encouragement, she will soon interact with you. Fern often gets the zoomies, running around as fast as her legs will let her. She is even starting to show a playful side with toys.

A key way to Fern’s heart is with food! Treats, along with time and patience, are a great way to build a bond with this girl. She has even been enjoying the challenge of kongs at the centre.

Fern has met a few dogs here at the centre. She has mainly been unsure of them. We believe she would possibly react if a dog got into her personal space.

Here at the centre, we feel that Fern needs to go to a home where someone is home for most of the day. She can’t go to a home with any cats or small furries in the household, but can go to a home with children 16 +

A big thank you to Albie for thinking of your cat friends here at the centre and donating some goodies! 🐱🐟

We are sure that all of our current residents will enjoy their food and treats 🥰

We’d like everyone to meet Tarlia!🐾

Our sweet and loving 9 month old, blind Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed who is now searching for a forever home to call her own.🏡

When Tarlia came into our care many months ago, she was very emaciated so we found her a loving foster home where she has settled well and lives to this day. She often gets taken out on daily walks, goes to the beach and has even been on a camping trip!🏕️

She has also come on leaps and bounds in not only gaining much needed weight but confidence too.

Tarlia can now be left alone for approximately 2 hours however new owners would need to continue her training on this and be around for most of the day.

We are looking for calm and understanding owners for Tarlia so she can receive the reassurance, comfort and love that she deserves whilst settling into her new home.❤️

Tarlia can be rehomed with other friendly dogs, dog-savvy cats and children of secondary school age.

Tarlia’s lack of sight is not something that bothers her so we hope it doesn’t bother you either!✨

A very big thank you to all of the lovely people that have donated food for the animals here at the centre! The cats and dogs are very grateful for the delicious treats 😋

Say hello to Faye! Our sweet, 3 year old Whippet x Lurcher who is now looking for her forever family!

When Faye first arrived at our centre, she was quite nervous and timid however with plenty of TLC, she is now a friendly girl who likes to play, loves zoomies and is full of love to give.

She can still be a little unsure and needy at times but with reassurance, patience and time, she will become a loving companion to your home life.

Faye will need someone around for most of the day and she can be rehomed with older children 16+ but no other animals as she doesn't like other dogs and can be reactive.

Meet Pandora, our quiet little lady at 2 years old.

Pandora is a timid little girl, that is shy when you first meet her. But with enough time, love and patience, she soon shows her true loving nature. She is a playful girl, playing with little bits of paper or a string, rather than her toys! She loves a good fuss on her chin and belly, even sitting on your lap for some attention.

Pandora often greets us at her door now, occasionally giving a little chirp and meow to us. She can be picked up and carried, but will let you know when she’s had enough. She is a foodie girl, enjoying her treats and meals on site, so this could be a way to build a fantastic bond with this sweet girl.

Pandora could go to a home with a cat-savvy dog, that has lived with cats before and will not chase. She does not seem fond of other cats in the cattery, so she would prefer to be the only cat. She can go to a home with children of secondary school age.

Pandora has been in a wonderful foster home and she came on leaps and bounds, in a home environment she is very affectionate and craves attention.

Hi guys, Rupert here again! 🐶

My human friends here have told me that we are running low on dog treats at the centre. Me and all my doggy friends would really appreciate it if some kind hearted people were able to donate some scrummy treats to the centre.

We get many treats throughout the day to help us with our training, helping us get ready for our new homes! (PS, I’m still waiting for my people).

We have a couple of amazon wish lists that you can use, if you would prefer

Meet Junior! Our lovely 6-month old Terrier cross who is now looking for his forever family!

Junior is a friendly and playful boy who enjoys his toys, human interaction and fuss. He can be a little unsure and quiet at times however after some encouragement, he soon comes out of his shell.

He loves his food and treats so this could be a great way for new owners to build a trusting relationship.

Junior walks nicely on the lead but as he is still so young, new owners will need to continue his positive reward based training to help him with his confidence and to become a well-rounded dog.

We feel Junior can be rehomed with another friendly dog, a dog savvy cat and children of any age.

Meet Spot, our sweet 6-month old who is now searching for his forever family!

Spot is a very calm and loving puppy who loves cuddles and playing outside. He is also very food orientated so this could be a great way for new owners to build a trusting relationship with him.

As Spot is still young, new owners will need to continue his positive reward based training to help him become a well-rounded adult dog.

We feel Spot can be rehomed with another friendly dog, a dog-savvy cat and children of any age.

If you can provide Spot with the home he deserves, please send a completed perfect match form to [email protected]

We’d like everyone to meet Talia, who is our 9 month old, blind and emaciated Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed who is now looking for a home to call hers.

A calm and understanding home will give Talia the reassurance and comfort that she needs to feel comfortable in a new place. Talia is a loving and sweet soul and seems to be doing well in a home environment where she has been taken on daily walks out and about, been to the beach and even been on a camping trip! She has come on leaps and bounds in not only gaining much needed weight but confidence too. Her new adopters will need to carry on the gentle introduction to walking and every day things that Talia may need extra care and attention to feel comfortable with.

We are looking for a home that has someone around for most of the day as at the moment Talia struggles being left although her foster home is working with her on this.

We think that due to not being able to see them to keep out of their way, Talia would be best suited to a home without cats.

She can be rehomed with other friendly dogs.

We also think that Talia's new home would be one with children who are 12 years or above.

Her lack of sight is not something that bothers her and we are hoping that future adopters won’t let it bother them either!

If you are interested in adopting our sweet Talia then please send in a completed perfect match form to [email protected]

🐱🐱🐱 CAT FOSTERERS NEEDED 🐱🐱🐱

At the centre we (and the cats!) are lucky to have dedicated cat fosterers to help us out with cats who really do not enjoy cattery life.

However... WE NEED MORE!!! 😥

Would you be able to help out a cat in need? To give them space more than the size of our cat pens here? To give them time, care and affection to feel safe and come out of their shells? To enable their true character to show through so that we can tell future adopters what they will actually be like in a home? 🏡

Fosters will receive full support from a foster coordinator based at the centre, we will provide you with food, bedding, toys, vet care, all the basics to care for the cat. We will also provide holiday cover and if at the end of the foster period you would like to apply to adopt the cat, you will be first in line.

Please get in contact to see if you and your home would be suitable for a foster cat, or just to find out more, you can call or text on 07469 760975 ☎️ or email [email protected] 🖨

Hi guys it's Rupert here!

The staff have told me that we are running very low on large towels for us dogs in the kennels.

Are there any kind people out there that could please donate large towels to the centre? We would be so grateful!

P.s. I'm up for adoption and I am ready to find my forever home ❤

Meet Milo, he a sweet playful 1 year old dog who is looking for a forever home where he can be the star of the show!

This handsome boy had a tough start in life – he was starved before coming to us so he truly deserves a loving family who can give him the care and attention he’s missed out on.

Milo is a bundle of energy who loves to play, whether it’s a game of fetch or a fun walk. Milo needs to be the only pet in the home so he can soak up all the love for himself.

He’ll thrive in a home with children of secondary school age or older who can join in on the fun and give him the attention he deserves.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate dog to become your new best friend, Milo is waiting to meet you!

This is Squid, a 1 year old bundle of love and affection who's ready to find her forever home! Squid is the perfect companion if you're looking for a friendly and cuddly cat. She adores human company and will happily roll all over your lap demanding strokes and attention.

Squid is a confident girl who has settled into the cattery well, she came to us as a stray so not much about her history is known but she is very sweet and loving.

Squid has met a few cats here in the cattery, we think with a slow introduction she can be rehomed with other friendly cats but no dogs. Due to Squid's loveable and confident nature she can be rehomed with children of any age.

So, if you're fishing for a new feline friend who's as sweet as she is affectionate, look no further! Squid might just be the purrfect catch for your family.

Meet Ghost, our friendly 6 months old crossbreed who is now looking for his forever home after spending time in a foster family.

Ghost likes fuss, attention and company. He hasn’t been left alone much so new owners will need to continue his training.

He is crate trained and goes in there comfortably. He is enthusiastic about his food so this could be a great way for new owners to build a trusting relationship with him.

As Ghost is still young and experiencing life, he can be unsure of some objects and barks to show this.

We feel Ghost can be rehomed with another friendly dog and children of primary school age but no cats.

If you can offer Ghost a home, please send a completed perfect match form to [email protected]

Our last puppy is still waiting for a foster home to come forward and get him out of kennels 😔😢😓

We think he would suit a home where there are no children although would be great if he could go and live with another dog 🐶

Could you offer your home to help care for a puppy? Could you show them the world outside of a rescue centre? We will provide everything you need including food, bedding, vet care, holiday care, all the basics. 🐾🐾

Please contact our foster coordinator to talk more about what fostering entails and whether or not you would be suitable...

At the centre, our staff do amazing work in the kennels providing as much enrichment and stimulation for the dogs, however, the kennels are not the best way for a puppy to begin their lives in terms of socialisation and training. 🐣

Say hello to Stitch! Our handsome 7 year old who is now looking for a home to call his own!

Stitch arrived in our care needing some TLC so we found him a foster home where he has spent most of his time.

He is a friendly and confident cat who likes the attention and fuss from anyone he meets and feels comfortable with, but only on his terms. He also loves to have a window to sit near whilst he watches the world go by.

Stitch is a big foodie, loving dinner time and any treats he can get his paws on! This could be a great way for new owners to build a positive and trusting relationship with him.

We feel Stitch can be rehomed with children of secondary school age who are respectful and a cat-savvy, friendly dog that won't chase but no cats.

If you can open your home to Stitch, please send a completed perfect match form to [email protected]

Hi humans, I’m Popcorn!

I am a 11-month old girl who is searching for a family to call my own. I am the longest staying resident here at the centre, I have seen many other cats come and go. I arrived 205 days ago and still have had no interest, I hope it’ll be my time soon!

All I’d love is a home where I can relax on the couch, play in the living room and enjoy sunbathing whilst watching the world go by.

I hope I can find my forever family soon❤️

Say hello to Winnie, a 10-month old beautiful chow chow with a heart as big as her fluffy coast! Winnie is looking for her forever home where she can share her love and loyalty.

Winnie is a typical chow chow, she can be aloof at times but she does enjoy human company. Winnie is shy of new people but after a slow introduction she has been friendly with everyone she’s met. Winnie adores spending time with other dogs and would thrive in a household with another dog to play with. She hasn’t met any cats but due to her aloof nature we feel she could be rehomed to a household with confident cats who have lived with dogs before.

Winnie can be rehomed with children 10+ who are dog savvy and understand that Winnie will need a slow and gentle introduction.

We are looking for someone who has experience with chow chows or has done a lot of research into the breed and understands their typical needs and behaviour.

With her lion-like mane and sweet, gentle personality, Winnie will steal your heart from the moment you meet her. She’s ready to bring warmth and joy to a home that appreciates her unique charm.

Meet Rupert - our excitable and friendly 1 year old bull-breed who is now looking for a family to give him a loving forever home!

Rupert unfortunately has come back to us through no fault of his own!

Rupert loves human interaction, and enjoys going on walks with his human friends, sniffing and meeting new people. He does get quite excited on the lead, so new owners would need to work with him on this.

He loves his food, but is so polite and will even sit for a treat when asked. We have been working on his positive reward based training which he is responding well to. New owners would need to continue this in a home, along with giving him plenty of routine and consistency, to help him continue growing.

A home with plenty of toys and balls would be best for Rupert, as he loves playing in the pool bobbing for balls. He does need a little encouragement at first when playing, but does really enjoy himself once he gets into it.

He can live with dog savvy children 8+ but needs to be the only pet in the household.

To apply for this handsome boy, please send in a completed Perfect Match Form to [email protected]

*** 1 PUPPY REMAINING 😭😭😭

We are desperate to find our last puppy (19 weeks) a way to get out of kennels and into a foster home so that he can experience normal life and gain some positive experiences of the world at this critical age. His litter mates have all gone in to foster care with some amazing foster carers and he is still patiently waiting for his turn 😥

If this something you think that you could help with then please please get in touch with our foster coordinator Lily on 07469 760975 or email [email protected] to discuss in more detail what the requirements for fostering are and anything else you might want to ask 🤞🤞🤞
