RUDDY 🐾
Looking for his forever home- 3 year old male Cockapoo 💙

Ruddy was surrendered to the pound today through no fault of his own. He's a lively, high- energy boy who is full of life and has plenty of energy to burn! He'll need an active home with someone who enjoys getting out and about, long walks, and keeping his busy mind entertained.

Please get in contact if you can offer a forever home for this lovely boy!

UPDATE- Rehomed.

Sam is sad... he arrived as a stray on October 28th.
Nobody has reclaimed him 🥲
Nobody has offered him a home 😢
No rescue group has offered him a safe space 😭

He is a gentle, affectionate soul who comes alive in our play area with the joyful abandon of lurcher-zoomies, but spending long days and nights stuck in a kennel are taking its toll on him.

He needs to get out of the Pound fast.

If you can offer him a suitable home or rescue space, PLEASE get in touch asap.
He deserves so, so much better than life had handed him thus far...

UPDATE - Rehomed

This little soul arrived at the pound as a stray, hidden beneath a coat of severely matted, tangled fur. We have named her Rita 😍Just look at the before photo. We can only imagine how uncomfortable she must have been, unable to tell anyone how much she needed help ☹️

Behind all those matts was a beautiful little dog who deserved much better.

After a much needed clip, look at her now. 🥺💕 A fresh start, a lighter coat and hopefully a whole lot more comfort.

Its heart-breaking that any animal should be allowed to get into this condition.

Please remember, grooming isn't just about keeping a dog looking pretty. Its about their health, comfort and welfare.

Rita will be available for rehoming on Monday 9th November. She will require a quiet home with someone who is patient as she learns to trust again. Please get in contact if you can offer Rita the home she deserves.

🐾Meet Sara & Molly- two beautiful girls looking for a second chance 🐾💕

Sadly Sara and Molly have found themselves surrendered to the pound through no fault of their own. These lovely girls are only 3 years old and 1.5 years old, and they deserve the chance to find a loving home where they can remain together.

Both girls are friendly and have so much love to give. Just look at those happy faces! 🥺🥰

Can you offer Sara and Molly a home together ?

Snoop 🐶

This lovely 9 year old Staffy is looking for a new home to spend his golden years.🐾

Every older dog deserves a safe, loving home where they can enjoy their retirement surrounded by kindness, comfort and love. 💙

Snoop is best suited to a home where he can be the only dog, as he hasn't been used to being around other dogs. 🐶

Loves - short walks, cuddles, head scratches and plenty of naps.
Dislikes- cats, rain and broccoli.

Please get in contact if you can offer Snoop his forever home.💙💙

UPDATE: Gone to rescue 💕

This beautiful boy is Shep, he was picked up as stray and sadly nobody came looking for him.

This busy boy has energy to burn and is always ready for his next adventure. Belly rubs are definitely on his list of favourite things.

If you think you can offer a loving home where he can get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and all the belly rubs he deserves please get in contact.

DASH 💙

🏁Ready...steady...ZOOMIES! 😂

Dash is a handsome Lurcher who believes life is all about balance...a little bit of running around like a lunatic, followed by a serious session of doing absolutely nothing! 😂🐶

Professional zoomie specialist 🛋 Part time sofa spud 💙 Full of character and charm.

Dash loves to stretch those long legs and have a good zoom around, but don't let that fool you! Once hes finished burning off his energy, hes more than happy to lie up and chill out.

Please get in touch if you are interested in rehoming Dash, or would like more information about this gorgeous boy.
