💚 I AM AVAILABLE 💚
FOSTER-TO-ADOPT

Introducing you to our handsome man Ceasar!
Ceasar is our 3-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd cross.

Ceasar is still a little nervous and does lack some confidence meeting new people. He may bark at first but he is getting braver by the day. Once Ceasar knows you though, he wants nothing more than to play and have cuddles. Sometimes the cuddles can overexcite Ceasar and he may jump up but he listens well when you turn your back and ignore that cheeky side.

He loves running around the place with a soft toy or two, although some do get destuffed... His favourite toy by far is a tennis ball, he is such a good boy and will happily give you his toys for a treat or another toy.

His toilet training has been going well; he was initially very clean in his kennel. However, as kennel life is beginning to get a bit boring for him, he has made a mess a few times, so ongoing toilet training will need to continue in his new home. This should be a walk in the park for him as he is a very clever boy. Ceasar knows how to sit, wait and give the paw...though you may sometimes get two paws for the price of one!

At the centre, staff are working on loose lead walking and focus work with his handler, and Ceasar is doing amazingly. He is food motivated so that helps with training, Ceasar loves his food! Sadly, he came in to us very underweight so we are building him up. He was initially a bit too eager for treats but that's understandable as he must have been hungry! He has since learnt to take treats more gently and have a bit more patience.

As Ceasar came to us very underweight, he is available for foster to adopt, so we can make sure he continues gaining the weight he needs and can become a healthy dog with a good diet, but we would much prefer Ceasar to be in a home rather than kennels while this is ongoing, and Ceasar would agree!

Ceasar has met a couple of the other dogs at the centre at a distance but was a bit too excited to have a nice sociable hello. He gets vocal and can get a little frustrated that he can’t immediately meet the dog. We are working with Ceasar to help him learn how to politely meet and interact with other dogs. Due to this, at this time, Ceasar would be best suited to a home where he is the only pet.

Ceasar could live with children 16+, due to his size and excitable nature. He will need a family willing to give him the time and patience he needs to find his paws. Once he has this and has settled, we are sure he will thrive and become a loving and playful family addition.

Meet our chatty 1-year-old Tabby male, Spud!

Spud came into our care a little nervous, he had a bit of a stressful journey to us and was unsure at first to show us trust. After just a couple of days, though, Spud showed us his true self and now is a talkative and confident cat who loves a good head scratch.

He is still a little nervous of strangers but as long as the interaction is slow and at his own pace, he warms up in no time and will come up to you for attention. Spud prefers a stroke to the head rather than his whole body but is always up for the interaction and will follow you around for more! He can be a little pushy when it comes to strokes, and sometimes gets a little too excited. Calm interaction with him is definitely the way to go.

Spud is a very good boy when being picked up, he stays still and likes a scratch behind the ear while you do it. He does wriggle away after a minute so picking him up should be done within his boundaries but it could be something he enjoys with the right person.
Spud seems to be a little unsure of toys at the moment, he doesn't show much interest in them in his pod and will run in the opposite direction if you throw one for him.

Spud has been an indoor only cat previously, but we are sure that with a slow and safe introduction to the outside world he will love to explore it all. Here in the cattery, he has access to an outside run area and he has no issue with going out there to use his litter trays and see the goings on in the outside world. He would benefit from having lots of hidey spaces in the garden such as plant pots so he can use these as a safe and comfortable hidey area or escape, whilst he gets used to it.
Spud can use his cat flap and outdoor litter trays perfectly.

Spud's experience with other cats is limited, but so far he seems calm and comfortable around them, but perhaps overly confident around other cats and can be a bit forward; therefore we recommend Spud would be best suited for a home with children aged 16+ where he can be the only pet in the home.

For more information or to apply to adopt Spud, please contact us on [email protected]

Say hello to the Fantastic Mr. Fox our 5-year-old lurcher cross.

Fox is a laid-back boy and came to us through no fault of his own. It was clear he had lacked human interaction and was a little unsure at first but over time he has come to trust his handlers and settled well in to kennel life.

He enjoys being out and about and takes things in his stride and he is also calm and relaxed in his kennel but at first, he mainly used his kennel to urinate in but he is now learning he does not need to do this.

He will tolerate fuss and strokes and is improving on this every day. At first when being handled he would be unsure of your intentions and is a little sensitive to some areas being over handled but he is now happy being groomed and brushed and due to his coat, he will need a good brush from time to time.

He is learning to trust us and allow us to handle him like putting his harness on, picking him up to put him in the car and giving him fuss. He can be a little unsure of new people at first but does not take long to come round and he enjoys treats so this is great to help him build trust.

Fox knows basic commands and he has shown no negative responses to being out and about and is laid back and walks well on lead. We have introduced toys to fox and he does show a little bit of interaction and play but not a lot yet.

Fox has been introduced to dogs that he knows but can be a bit full on so he will need training going forward to learn how to be calmer around them.

Fox has also recently spent time in a foster home to give us an idea of how he would cope with everything and he has settled well despite some initial scent marking due to his previous living conditions but he is learning to do this outside more now. He has had no negative reactions to household objects but was a little unsure and anxious of the car to begin with but he has now got used to it. He has become a bit more reactive to seeing other dogs now so this will need continued work with his new family, and he will still need a bit of time and patience around new people.

Fox is now ready to put his best foot forward and find his future home and continue the work needed to let him settle into his new life.

Fox can live with children over 14 but would need to be the only pet in the house to give him the one on one training needed.

This assessment is ongoing and may change in the future.

Meet our loveable 4-year-old domestic shorthair Tuna!

When Tuna came into our care she settled into cattery life with no issues whatsoever. She is an absolutely adorable girl who loves nothing like a good fuss. She very relaxed and loves to have a chill out on her bed.

Tuna absolutely loves attention and will come over for anyone as long as there are cuddles involved! She will nudge you with her head and purr all day. She was unsure of being groomed at first, but after a quick sniff of the brush she welcomed the fuss and began rubbing her face on the brush for more.

Tuna is not a big fan of being picked up, and will wiggle away, but does like to stand on your back or shoulder if you are low enough for her to climb on!

Tuna likes to roll around on soft toys and has shown some interest in a flirt pole, though she does lose interest after a few minutes. In a home environment with her own space, she may show more interest in toys.

Tuna can use her cat flap but choses to use her indoor litter tray rather than outside.

Tuna has previously lived with 2 cats but has not yet been cat tested in our care. We recommend that Tuna can live in a home with children or adults of any age but with no other pets.

Everyone meet our gorgeous boy George!

George is our 3-year-old cockerpoo, he ended up in our care through no fault of his own. He unfortunately has not settled well into kennel life and would much rather be with his people soaking up all the love he deserves.

George LOVES long slow walks where he can sniff everything and take his time. He is a little unsure of new surroundings and people so taking things nice and slow is important for him. But once he has warmed up to you and knows he can trust you, he will be your best friend for life! He is such a happy little boy who loves nothing more than cuddles in his bed and lots of attention.

George is enthusiast when it comes to treats which will benefit ongoing training however can get slightly distracted in interesting environments. George will require frequent professional grooms to maintain his coat. Whilst at the centre he shown no negative reactions to being groomed and he enjoys to be brushed.

Although unsure initially around other dogs, he is very curious and would benefit with continued work socialising and meeting polite mannered dogs, if a dog is too lively it can spook him a little.

He knows basic commands such as "sit" and will walk nicely on a lead. It’s best to keep training sessions short as he does have a short attention span. George also enjoys playing with toys his favourite being soft stuffed toys.

George is currently being muzzle trained, which he is doing amazing with; this is just to ensure he is safe in scary environments such as the vets to ensure he can get the care he needs in that moment.

George is looking for an adult only home with no other pets. He would benefit from a quieter more predictable home.
