😬 Puppy biting and mouthing blog 😬

Who doesn't love a puppy? 🐶

Owning a pup brings a lot of joys to your life such as cuddles, endless playtime, extreme cuteness but also of course, mouthing and biting.

We have put together a blog which can hopefully help prevent this behaviour and keep you and your precious shoes safe. 🤭

😍 What a gorgeous girl 😍

Ruby is an extremely friendly and funny character who we know you are all going to love! ❤️

She did not have the best start in life but has spent time in a loving foster home and has been such a good girl throughout her stay. 🥺

This beautiful girl enjoys spending time with other dogs and we think she would benefit being in a home with a canine companion. She could also live with a dog savvy cat, and any age children (supervised at all times). 🐶 🐱

We know that Ruby is going to adore her new forever family! 🥰

*Thank you all so much for applying. Applications are now being reviewed and we will only be contacting successful applicants.*

Lots of fun & games for little Lola 🐾

At ten-weeks-old, Lola has already been working on her 'Sit' after settling in with her volunteer at home.

She's having lots of fun in the early stages of her training - exploring, playing, and of course, working on those puppy dog eyes 🐶

Cats in the wild spend a lot of their time on frequent hunting expeditions, catching up to 12 small rodents per day. In comparison, our pet cats are given bowls of food. A meal doesn’t take long to eat or make use of their great senses.

Make meal times more interesting by hiding food around the house for your cat to search out or have a go at making a puzzle feeder. Puzzle feeders allow cats to exhibit the natural behaviours they would perform outdoors and help prevent boredom. For suggestions on how to recycle common household items into DIY feeders that make meal times fun, visit https://www.cats.org.uk/cats-blog/feeding-enrichment-puzzles-for-your-cat?dm_i=57TR,15JUL,4H0KG3,4PYQ5,1

🐰 Lovely Lavender looking for a home 🐰

This gorgeous girl likes the finer things in life such as: grazing away at her hay, working on her puzzles to ger her morning nuggets and sunbathing when the weather is nice. 😎

The staff at the Ark have tried multiple times to bond Lavender with another rabbit and it is now clear to us that she would prefer to live as a single bunny. 🐇

Lavender does like receiving attention from her human friends, but on her own terms, so we would suggest a more patient approach when interacting with her. ❤️

All this beautiful girl wants now is a loving home! 🏠🥰

Thinking about sprucing up your home with a splash of colour this year? House plants might be just the thing you need! 🪴

But remember, if you're sharing your living space with a four-legged friend, there are certain plants you will need to avoid as they are poisonous to pets 🐾

[Visual description: Image titled "Which House Plants Are Safe For Pets?" A grid divides plants into safe and unsafe categories for pets. On the left with green check marks are safe plants: Wax Plant, Spider Plant, Pot Marigold, Money Tree, Venus Fly Trap, and American Rubber Plant. On the right with red X marks are unsafe plants: Ivy, Peace Lily, Aloe Vera, Philodendron, Dumb Cane, and Sago Palm. The logo for PDSA is displayed at the bottom right.]

Two gorgeous brothers after there castration ❤️🫶🏻

🦔 This adult male hedgehog came into HART with a severe case of mange. Mange is caused by microscopic parasitic mites which burrow under the skin causing intense itchiness and pain. This poor hedgehog's mange was so bad that the crusts on his face were obscuring his vision. Now at HART, he is being cared for by our team and receiving treatment for this awful condition. We will keep you updated on his progress!

💙 If you would like to support our work, please consider donating to our JustGiving fundraiser. Every donation we receive allows us to help even more sick and injured wildlife like this poorly hedgehog.

🐰 Sweet sisters looking for a home 🐰

Mary-Kate & Ashley are gorgeous girls who have grown a lot in confidence since first arriving in our care. ⭐

Their love of food helped massively in breaking them out of their shell. Both girls still find handling stressful, especially Mary-Kate, but we are sure with time an patience they can get more used to it. 🥰

These girls could live with children of primary school age but would require supervision when being handled. They could also live with cats and dogs but kept separately! ❤️
