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

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

Phoebe is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Home Requirements Away from the city centre An experienced owner A quiet home Phoebe is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who have dealt with feisty cats before. She would like easy access outdoors once she has settled into her new home. Phoebe needs to be the only pet in an adult only household. Phoebe is an independent girl who sometimes likes human attention but only on her terms. She is confident in her surroundings but due to a past experience, does have a sensitive side and can become easily spooked by certain noises, particularly high-pitched ones. She requires a very quiet home, ideally with only 1 or 2 adults who can provide her with the predictable and stable home she needs. She likes having a cosy bed to curl up in but would like easy access to a garden so she can go outside whenever she wants to. She would be best suited to a home out of the city where there is lots of space for her to enjoy roaming around. Phoebe is playful at times, and she enjoys watching the world go by from the top of her climbing tower. Her love for food has allowed her to gain a few extra pounds in the past so her new owner will need to be mindful of this and keep her waistline trim. Phoebe is a cat who knows what she likes, and she can be a bit of a grump if people don’t respect her boundaries but for a committed and understanding owner, she will make a lovely companion.

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

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

Cooper is described as a Beagle/Hound. Can live with Dogs Teenagers Cooper is looking for an experienced and active owner who have owned hound breeds before and understand their quirks. He will benefit going along to training classes to continue work on basic manners. Cooper may be able to live with teenagers and possibly another dog. Cooper is a super friendly, cheeky and lovable goof ball who brings joy to everyone he meets. He does have a stubborn streak so requires an incredibly patient owner, but he does love his food in all forms, from doggy biscuits to fruit and veg which will be a brilliant motivator when continuing his training. He is a big, boisterous boy who forgets his size and he can resort to jumping up and grabbing at you if his needs aren’t met so requires plenty of mental and physical stimulation, so he doesn’t become bored or frustrated. He likes using his nose and sniffs out every interesting smell that comes by him so would thoroughly enjoy an activity like scent work or man trailing. Cooper has made a load of doggy friends here; he loves playing with them but can sometimes forget his manners so any dog he does live with will need to match his energy. Cooper will require someone who has the time and is committed to continue his training but there certainly is never a dull moment with him and he is sure to bring a lot of fun and laughter in his new home. Cooper has received some medical treatment whilst with us. More information will be provided with successful applicants.

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

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

Odin is described as a German Shepherd/Collie. Can live with Teenagers Odin is looking for an experienced and active owner who have owned anxious dogs before. He would like to have his own private, secure garden so he can still enjoy the outdoors when he is feeling worried. He needs to be the only pet but could live with dog savvy older teenagers. Odin requires a quiet home away from the city centre, ideally in a rural location. Handsome Odin is a sensitive boy who is desperate to find an understanding owner who can give him the calm and stable home he needs. He is very sweet, loving and affectionate with those he knows but is wary of new people and will require patient owners who are prepared to meet him a few times first to build a good relationship. Odin can become easily overwhelmed, particularly in busy environments and by loud noises, so he needs a committed owner who can walk him in quiet areas so he gets the opportunity to enjoy the outside world. When he feels settled, Odin is an active boy who enjoys having something to do, he loves woodland nature walks where he can sniff out the interesting smells and may like to do scent work. He is playful, excitable and loves fetching after his favourite squeaky ball! He likes treats (even apples!) and thoroughly enjoys his enrichment sessions foraging for them. He’s not afraid to get his paws wet and will happily go for a swim to retrieve his ball. Odin has the potential to be a wonderful companion with someone committed to working with him. Odin has had some veterinary treatment whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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

Bear is described as a American Bulldog. Home Requirements Away from the city centre An experienced owner A quiet home A home with garden Bear is looking for an experienced owner who can help build his confidence. He needs a quiet home with a private garden where he can relax if he feels overwhelmed. Bear would like an adult only home where he will be the only pet. Bear is a lovely older gentleman who is one of the staff favourites at the Home. He is friendly with everyone he meets and gives you the loveliest welcome with a waggy tail and wiggly bum. He is affectionate and, like a big cuddly bear, just loves to snuggle up beside you on the couch and get lots of fussing. Age is just a number in Bear’s mind and he does not let it slow him down! He can still be quite bouncy at times but he is playful and loves running around our paddocks with his toys. He loves learning new things and playing enrichment games, particularly when food is involved and is even partial to a healthy snack like carrots! Due to a past experience, Bear can feel anxious on his walks and could become overwhelmed, so his new owners need to be patient and understanding people who have the time to work on his confidence. He is a truly fantastic boy, and there is no doubt that he will make a wonderful companion for the right owner. During his stay, Bear has been assessed by an independent breed assessor, who deemed that he is not a currently banned breed.
