New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue - Shannon

Shannon is described as a black Greyhound. Beautiful Shannon is looking for her forever sofa! Shannon is 4 years old, a lovely long and well built girl of medium height, with a shiny black coat and a face that may look older than her years because of her gorgeous silver colourings. Shannon is so affectionate she will steal your heart when she cuddles into you, snuggles on the sofa and turns her stunning big eyes in your direction. She absolutely loves her toys and will make you laugh at her antics especially with her favourite ball. Shannon is so easy to walk on the lead and friendly with everyone she meets even polite children. And if you can give her the chance to get securely off lead you’ll see her kick up her heels and zoom about with joy. Shannon already lives in a foster home. She is house-trained and quiet overnight. She can climb stairs, is used to all the sights and sounds in a home and has been left on her own for a couple of hours without any issues. She isn’t worried by traffic but can still be a little timid in new situations and she absolutely loves her food, nearly as much as she loves being with you and being involved in your life. She has been a racer so Shannon is not suited to living with small furry companions or cats but has happily been in foster with other greyhounds so could live with other similar sized friends or equally as happy as an only dog with all your attention. Shannon is still learning to meet smaller dogs and can occassionally give an excited bark but is such a clever girl and is learning all about life very quickly in her foster home. Please consider this gorgeous, gentle, cuddly, zooming loving, funny girl who is the most overlooked best friend we have waiting for a home. She is just waiting for her special someone to walk in and give her the opportunity to shine. Could that be you? More about me: Age: 4 years Gender: Female Size: Medium-Large Colour: Black Temperament: Affectionate, Playful, Relaxed, Friendly Experience: Ex-racer, House Experience Racing Name: Seaglass Shannon About Me: Walks well on the lead, Travels well in a car, Can live with other big dogs, Likes older children, Likes toys Vet Checks: Fully vaccinated, Microchipped, Neutered, Worm & flea treated Ready Now For: Adopting, Fostering

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Seth

Seth is described as a black/grey Large mixed. Seth (DOB 10.1.23) Is a stunning seven month old puppy boy in foster in Ayr. He was rescued from the streets of Romania as a little puppy and came onto our radar when we saw a photograph of one of his kennel mates (Aria) with a head poking through the shelter bars. Seth was stood by her side and once we made a decision to rescue Aria could not leave him behind. He will be larger size when fully grown and is apparently an absolute delight . Seth is a total goofball, as you can see from his videos and just loves cuddles and attention. His striking good looks are amplified by his one blue eye and he is just perfection on four legs. He is fully vaccinated , has had all the tests required to travel to the UK and is also castrated. Seth has done some lead work, but will need additional training. If you think you can offer Seth the amazing home he deserves. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. An adoption fee of £500 will apply .

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Aria

Aria is described as a brown, white and black Mixed. Aria (DOB 14.12.22) is a beautiful female puppy who is around eight months old. She was taken from the streets of Romania by her rescuer and came to our attention when we saw a photograph of her little face poking through the shelter bars. Once we had seen this image, we could not un-see it and made it our mission to save her. When fully grown Aria will be a medium sized dog and she has a very gentle nature. Due to her life experience to date, she is quite a shy little girl, but we’re confident once she is out of her current environment and in a loving home she will thrive. She has done a little lead work, is great with other dogs and has been around young children. Aria is very nervous of men so we are looking for a female only home please who need to be prepared to work on her confidence at her own pace. Aria fully vaccinated, has had all the tests needed for her to travel and it’s also neutered. If you think you can give this sweet soul, the home she so deserves Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. An adoption fee of £500 will apply.

Lenny is described as a black Lurcher. Lenny was a stray so we don't have any information on his interactions with children or cats. He's great with other medium and large dogs, caution would be recommended around smaller breed dogs. He loves a walk and although gets excited by wildlife is generally a pleasure to walk along the roadside and pavements. He's very friendly towards people, sometimes a little toooo friendly and excitable but all in good fun.

New cat listed for rescue at the Sunny Harbour Cat & Kitten Rescue - Kai

Kai is described as a grey & white Domestic Long Hair. Kai came to Sunny Harbour Cat Rescue after he was spotted wandering the streets in what can only be described as beyond horrific condition! He came into the rescue a walking skeleton, raggedy and covered in open sores where his heavily matted coat had torn his skin. He had a raging infection in his mouth and rotting teeth. How this little mite was still alive we simply do not know. If you havent followed his story on our Facebook page pop over and you can see his journey from start to end. After recovering from all his struggles Kai is now finally ready to find his forever home having been given the all clear from the vets. Amazingly despite all he has suffered his blood work and x rays are great, he’s had extensive dental work completed, neutered and deemed fit and healthy to leave us. We would be very much like to find a home where he can venture into the outdoors to laze in the sun and come in and rest by a warm fire or radiator and enjoy attention and fuss. Equally if you feel you have a large indoor space where you feel you can offer mental and physical stimulation for him then we are open to considering applications from indoor only homes meeting this criteria. If you feel you could have a place on your sofa and love to give an absolute warrior of a wee boy then please read our adoption FAQ and get in touch by clicking on the Adoption Enquiry button below. Kai is waiting to hear from you. Indoor / Outdoor Both Indoor and outdoor access homes will be considered. Cats / Dogs:No to both Cats / Dogs: No to both Kids: Older 10yrs + Health Issues: Ongoing Stomatitis. Care needed as condition flares and 6 monthly checks with a vet. Special Requirements: See Health Issues.Grooming need will be at least 2 to 3 times a week as his coat regrows as its very long.

New dog listed for rescue at the Staffie Smiles Rescue - ROBBIE

ROBBIE is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Sex Male Age 3 year old Size Medium Robbie was found as a stray and did his time in stray kennels. He was extremely stressed in kennels to the point of hurting himself. We were contacted by the local council and agreed to help him. We took him in and he quickly went into foster while we get to know him better. Here's what his foster mum has said about him after his first week, (08/11/2023) Robbie settles well in flat but likes to have his people near him. He has started taking himself elsewhere to settle down when we are busy doing dishes etc but he needs to either have you in his eyesight or come to check on you. He would benefit from having his people around initially. Initially he was very food focussed and ate everything we gave him. This has massively changed in a few days and he will part eat treats like a pigs ear and leave it to come back to. We have been feeding him multiple times a day to ensure he is satisfied without being too full whilst he settles. There are zero signs of any issues around food. I have not asked him yet to give up something he is eating. He takes treats very gently. His play style we are still learning but on first observations he isn’t too interested if you are not engaging with the toys. He is very gentle and likes to parade around with toys and enjoys being chased. Robbie initially was very interested in our food and would sit and watch. We have worked on zero engagement whilst we are eating and using our bodies to block assess to food. He has learned when food isn’t his and we can have food close to him without him trying to get it. Robbie is very good at reading our body language and cues and has massively benefitted from sleep and lots of stillness. I’m bored rigid sitting on the sofa though! On lead he is very strong and forges forward. This is a response to being overwhelmed and we haven’t gone very far this week. He’s picking things up very quickly and for my part I have been staying very quiet and allowing him the chance to problem solve. Offering a gentle praise when I like something. This is going to be one of the big challenges for his new owner. When we start going somewhere “new” this behaviour comes back and consistency is going to be needed. Slowly slowly and he really does well. He is a flight risk and will search for escape when overwhelmed. At home we have seen this as paws up on window sills in the flat and stairwell. He will try and reverse out of the collar and lead when in this emotional state. He will also run the perimeter. We had him at the secure dog run but I still kept him on a long line as I think if he became totally overwhelmed he would be able to scale the fence. Robbie jumps up and puts his paws due to being excited. We have been working on this with him. He now only does this when we come home but coming down to say hi prevents the paws on. We have asked people meeting him outside to do the same. We have been working on interactions with people at a distance and once blocked from moving forward he can give lovely stillness with no tension on the lead. We have seen a few people who want to say hello but don’t want to approach and he has been happy to do so. We haven’t encountered dogs yet apart from a couple of unplanned encounters in the car park. There are a couple of local dogs who act aggressively and Robbie lunged towards them. I would have expected that but it’s worth noting that he may act when challenged. We have seen a couple of other dogs and he can disengage if they are displaying calm behaviours. He has a very very strong predatory chase response and the smell along of other animals is a challenge for him. One encounter with a neighbour cat at the window which he stiffened on sight then rushed forward. Robbie is happy with handling and being touched. He likes a pet but when he is sleeping on the sofa wants to lie against you but isn’t asking to be touched. He has had some stomach upset since he arrived and pretty bad gas. We hade been giving him a calming herb mix from Herbal Vet Scotland and some probiotic foods (greek yoghurt and apple cider vinegar.) His wounds are healing nicely and apart from a bit of foot/leg chewing when he first arrived he hasn’t been displaying any of those behaviours.

What can we say about Olive, shes a very submissive girl who is hand shy. We hate to think what shes been through in her short life. When we 1st met her she would crawl along low to the ground to meet you, if you moved your hand quickly she flinched but she still wanted to meet us, shes a very brave girl indeed. Today we saw her play with some toys, oh boy was that lovely to see. She was so happy running around the paddock or in her case plodding around it throwing the toys in the air and puppy bowing/jumping at them, this made us smile, she is such a sweetheart and she has the most beautiful eyes. Olive lets us touch her all over, we take this slowly and gently with her and shes fine with it. She loves her food which is a great tool for training. She walks great on the lead and has passed a few dogs at the kennels - had a wee sniff through the bars then walked on.
