New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Grace
Grace is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Cats Children Grace is looking for an owner who can keep her company for some of the day whilst she settles in. She would like easy access outdoors to venture out when the mood takes her. She cannot live with a dog but may be able to live with older children and possibly another young cat. Grace is a real sweetheart who likes being made a fuss of by anyone who will give her the attention. She will, in typical cat style, let you know when she has had enough so will be best suited to a home with older children who won’t be worried by this. She is an energetic, curious girl so will like plenty of space to explore the outdoors once she has settled in. She thoroughly enjoys her food or rolling around in some cat nip but can be found curling up in a nice comfy bed once her day of antics are finished. Grace will make a very warm addition to her new family. We are unsure if Grace has lived with a cat before, but she does not seem to mind the other cats in our cattery. If she was to live with one, her new owner will need to be home most of the time to help slowly introduce them. We are unsure if Grace has lived with a cat before, but she does not seem to mind the other cats in our cattery.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Rocky
Rocky is described as a Jack Russell Terrier. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Rocky is looking for a special home with an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. He will require his own private garden so he has a space to call his own where he can enjoy the outdoors safely. Rocky will need to be the only pet in an adult only home. Rocky is a special boy who can find it difficult trusting new people and will need to meet his new family several times first before he feels ready to go home. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like so requires a very understanding, patient owner who will not overwhelm him and will manage his interactions carefully. He can become worried by being handled too much and does show when he feels uncomfortable so his new owner will need to have a good understanding of dog body language in order to help Rocky make good choices. For this reason, he cannot be placed in a home where there are children, including visiting children. Once Rocky has built a good relationship with you, he does show his incredibly sweet, affectionate side and is partial to a good tummy tickle. He enjoys his walks to the woodland where he can sniff out all of the interesting smells or zooming around our paddocks as fast as he can. He will make a loving, loyal companion for the right owner who can accept him for who he is. Rocky has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Santino
Santino is described as a black Lurcher. Full of fun and ready for his next big adventure! Santino is the sweetest boy! He adores people and is good around other dogs. He doesnt know his own size and will try to be a lap dog whenever the opportunity arises. He currently shares his kennel with his best friend, Ernie the lurcher. Santino walks well on the lead but can be strong when he sees something exciting so his new owner will need to be confident that they can handle his strength and help him work on his lead walking. He is a typical lurcher in many ways - he LOVES a quick zoomie but would happily cuddle on the couch for hours after and he has a high pray drive. Due to this we will be looking for a home wihtout cats/small furry animanls about. History Santino came to us as a stray who was sadly never claimed. Re-homing Criteria Santino came to us as an unclaimed stray, with this being the case, even though he has a fantastic nature, we would not rehome him with young children in the house simply due to the unknown history. Also because of his typical breed traits, Santino would not be able to share his new home with cats or any other small furries. This handsome chap would happily live with another dog, he has been great with every dog he has met here and he loves nothing more than zooming around our paddock with his canine friends! Santino absolutely adores people so someone who has the time to give hijm lots of company would be his perfect home. A fully secure garden is a must. He is a big boy who does not know his size and although walks really well on the lead when he sees something exciting he can decide that he needs to investigate so his new owner would need to feel confident that they could handle his strength. Santino is a firm favourite of the staff and volunteers due to his absolute lust for life, you cannot help but smile when this lad is around. ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW
