New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Bruno

Bruno is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Cats Children Bruno is looking for an owner who has had a cat before and can keep him company for some of the day. He may be able to live with another cat and older cat savvy children. Bruno is a sweet friendly boy who is full of fun and mischief. He is incredibly affectionate and has a lot to give but can be a little worried by being picked up or over handled so his new family need to be understanding and not make him uncomfortable. He is a curious character which does mean he can get under your feet at times so he can see what you are up to so his new owner will need to be mindful of this! As he is still young, he will need to remain as an indoor cat for the time being, but he is full of energy and will probably LOVE to explore the outside world once he’s old enough. If Bruno was to live with another cat, it will need to be a patient one that matches his energy levels.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Ghost

Ghost is described as a French Bulldog Cross Pug. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Ghost is looking for an experienced owner who have a good understanding of dog body language. She would like her own private garden so she has her own safe space that she can enjoy peacefully. She needs to be the only pet in an adult only home. Ghost is a lovely girl who will require a lot of time and patience in order for her to reach her full potential of making a fantastic companion. Our team have been working very hard with her to work on her confidence as she can become uncomfortable if unknown people try to approach her to say hello when she’s not ready to. She requires a knowledgeable owner who can see when she starts to feel unsure and allow her to take things in her own time which will be a gradual process. Once she learns to trust you, she is very cuddly and enjoys sitting on your lap for some belly rubs. She is energetic, playful and loves running around with her favourite toys (although can get a bit too over excited at times!) She is full of beans, thoroughly enjoys her walks down to the beach and putting her nose to use so may enjoy an activity like scentwork. She hasn’t had much socialising with other dogs but does make friends with them if introduced properly. Ghost has had treatment for her skin whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Scruffy

Scruffy is described as a Jack Russell Terrier Cross. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Scruffy is looking for an owner who have owned nervous dogs before and can continue working on his socialisation skills. He would prefer access to a garden so he can work on his housetraining and will need to be kept company all day. Scruffy needs to be the only pet in an adult only home. Scruffy is a sweet, affectionate boy once he knows you but is very nervous of new people to begin with. He would greatly benefit by going along to training sessions to help him with his social skills around other people and dogs. Having a tasty biscuit on offer does help win him over but he needs his new owner to be very patient and understanding with him until he warms up. He lacks in confidence and particularly finds busy areas overwhelming so he needs to be walked in quieter areas first so he can work on his confidence building. Scruffy will need some work to help him become a more sociable boy but is sure to make a wonderful companion for a committed owner.

Against all odds, this brave trooper has made a full recovery and is now battle-ready for his next mission: finding a loving forever home!

Here’s what his ideal basecamp looks like: ✅ Secure Quarters – A safe, loving home where he can stand down and leave his past behind. ✅ Rations & Supplies – A commitment to providing proper nutrition to keep this soldier in tip-top shape. ✅ Loyal Comrades – A patient and kind human squad ready to show him the love he deserves. ✅ Enemy-Free Zone – While he’s a fearless fighter, he would do best in a home without too much conflict (a calmer environment is preferred). Sergeant has proven he’s got the heart of a lion and the resilience of a true warrior. Now, he just needs a commanding officer (that’s you!) to bring him home and give him the love and security he’s been fighting for. Are you ready to enlist Sergeant into your ranks? Apply today and give this brave little soldier the forever home he deserves.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Lola UPDATED

Lola UPDATED is described as a yellow Lab cross Poodle. Lola – The perfect blend of fun and love! Meet Lola – a fun-loving Poodle x Lab with plenty of personality! She’s been great with children (from toddlers to 10-year-olds) and has been known to get along with other pets like dogs and rabbits however, we don't know how she would be with cats. Lola is housetrained but isn’t a fan of being left alone for long—she tends to get stressed and bark. Lola is always up for an adventure and loves her walks, though she can be a bit strong on the lead and her recall still needs some work. She’s not a fan of busy roads and can be reactive around heavy traffic, so quieter walking routes would suit her best. Lola loves a good grooming session, although car rides aren’t her thing. If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate companion who’ll keep life interesting, Lola might be just the one for you! History Lola was handed into the centre for rehoming due to a change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Our gorgeous girl Lola is looking for a steady home where she can settle into a routine. She really does not like to be left alone and can get quite stressed so having someone around most of the day is a must. While Lola has previously lived with young children, we've found that she thrives best in a calmer environment and would be better suited to a home with older children who can respect her space. Lola can be selective with other dogs—some she gets along with, others not so much—so careful introductions are a must. She’s also quite the escape artist, so a secure garden and vigilant supervision are essential. Lola needs a calm home that can teach her that the world is not as scary as she sometimes thinks it is. This girl is the sweetest and she just loves cuddles and spending time with the staff and volunteers here at the centre, and she has definitely worked her way into our hearts. Could you let her work her way into your heart too? Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Lola simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Skye

Skye is described as a white and tan Crossbreed. Full of Life! Skye is a young crossbreed that has loads of love to give and has bags of energy! She loves a fuss and a cuddle from the people she knows and a kick around with a football in the paddock is her favourite pastime. We find her to be quite settled in her kennel here at the center and she is great in the car. This beautiful girl is completely deaf so has started learning her commands through hand signals. She is very clever so mental stimulation is a must. Skye can be very unsure in new situations and doesn't always handle meeting new people well. If we felt you were a good match you would have to make multiple visits for her to get to know you. We are working with Skye to help her be less anxious around new people. Skye isn't for the faint hearted! She is going to take a lot of patience and understanding to help her with her anxiety but will repay you with so much love once she feels comfortable around you. History We have known Skye since a young puppy. Sadly the two homes she has had since she has been with us haven't worked out so she's hoping it'll be third time lucky! Re-homing Criteria Skye is looking for an active home where she will be given the time and help she needs to adjust to a new environment. A quiet, adult only, rural home where she isn't having to meet new people all the time would be best. A secure garden with a 5ft+ fence is a must for her safety. Skye has met cats in the past, but it wasn't a success, so a cat free household is a definite. Due to Skye's reactions to people she doesn't know, we won't be looking for a home where she'll come into contact with any children. Skye gets on well with most dogs but we would have to do introductions slowly. Although Skye sounds like a lot of work, she deserves a home the same as any other dog in our care and with patience, time, support and love from the right person, we know she will make a great companion. If you feel you have the lifestyle Skye is looking for, please fill in the Homefinding Questionnaire. ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Teddy

Teddy is described as a black and white Border Collie. Smart, loving, and ready for his next adventure - Teddy is looking for the perfect home! Teddy is a gorgeous Border Collie looking for a calm, child-free home where he can feel safe and secure. He would do best as the only pet—he doesn’t get along with cats and isn’t suited to a home near livestock. Teddy is housetrained and can be left alone for a few hours without issue. He has good recall but can pull on the lead and reacts to traffic, so he needs a rural or quiet home away from busy roads. Due to his hip dysplasia, his exercise should be controlled—he enjoys walks but isn’t suited for high-impact activities like repetitive ball chasing. He loves being groomed, travels well in the car, and will make a loyal and loving companion for the right owner. If you can offer Teddy the safe and peaceful home he needs, he’ll reward you with his trust and affection. History Teddy was handed in for rehoming due to being uncomfortable around the young children in the house. Re-homing Criteria Teddy is a clever and loving boy looking for a quiet, breed-experienced home. He has hip dysplasia, so he needs a secure garden for some gentle off-lead exercise. He can be okay with other dogs, though he might prefer having doggy friends to living with them full-time. Teddy would do best in a home without children or cats. He’s super eager to learn and loves mental stimulation, so he’s looking for a family that can keep him engaged and give him the attention he needs. If you’re experienced with the breed and think you could offer him the right home, get in touch!

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Simba

Simba is described as a Domestic Long Hair. Can live with Teenagers Simba is looking for an owner who have had cats before and can keep him company for some of the day. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or cat flap so he can explore. He is looking to be the only pet but might be able to live with older cat savvy teenagers. Simba is a lovely boy who, although can be a bit unsure of new people to begin with, does quickly show you his affectionate side. He can be independent at times and is quite happy doing his own thing so his new owner will need to be understanding of this and provide him with plenty of comfy, hiding places so he can take himself away if he wants to. He is playful and enjoys playing with any of his toys or rolling around in some cat nip. Simba doesn’t enjoy the company of any other animals so will have to be the only pet so he doesn’t become too upset, and it would be nice for his new owner to provide him with some feliway to really help him settle in. He is a curious character and will love to have access outside to explore but this will have to be done very gradually with him. He has a beautiful coat which will have to be brushed regularly to keep it in top condition.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Bruno

Bruno is described as a liver and white German Shorthaired Pointer. A very clever boy who is eager to learn more. Poor Bruno hasn't had the best of luck. He has had two homes in the past and is really hoping for third time lucky. In his first home he lived with children (5 years and older) but he prefers the company of adults. He loves being out and about on walks and really enjoys being in the car. Bruno is very clever and can work things out quickly so to avoid him escaping, any potential adopters will need a very secure garden. Bruno could live with another dog if the match was right however we are unsure how he would react to cats. History Bruno came to us because his previous owners were struggling with their allergies. Before that his first home gave him up due to a change of circumstance which meant they could no longer give him the life he deserves. Re-homing Criteria Bruno will require an active family who understand the importance of mental stimulation. He loves the great outdoors and would make a great adventure buddy. This boy needs a very secure garden and some one who has plenty time to spend with him. We just know that given the chance, Bruno will be a very loyal, loving pet.
