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

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

Cleo is described as a white and light tan Mixed. Name: Cleo D.O.B: 10/09/2024 Size: Small-medium Breed: Mixed Location: Ayr, Scotland Little Miss Cleo is a little on the shy side until she knows you, but once she does she is a typical little puppy and loves to play and snuggle in equal measures! Although we don’t know her parentage, her current size would suggest she will be small medium when she reached adulthood. She currently lives indoors and has been clean in the house since arriving in rescue, but she is crated at bed time (she has no issues at all with this and just cosies down and sleeps through the night). We haven’t done any lead work with her yet and her new owners will need to undertake this task along with any other basic training. She currently lives with Dingo (the little puppy who broke his back) and they spend all day playing together and get on amazingly. She is also very flirty with Arlo and gives him kisses whenever he pops in to say hello. As Cloe is a little on the nervous side we would be looking for a less urban home for her and think she would thrive better in a house with a garden as opposed to a flat. Cleo is fully vaccinated, microchipped, up to date with flea and worming treatments and has had all the blood tests etc required to travel, plus an additional UK Brucellosis test. She is not neutered due to her age and we advise this not be done until 3 months after her first season. If you have room in your heart and home for this little poppet, please pop onto our website (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org) and complete an application form. Please note a £500 adoption donation and virtual home check will apply. Thank you!

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

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

Bruce is described as a cream Mixed. Why Bruce is So Special: ❤️ Bruce is a larger breed dog who has an amputated front leg, but this doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest! He’s incredibly strong, loves to walk (though at a leisurely pace!), and enjoys nothing more than sniffing around and exploring the world around him. Water is his second love, and he gets around with no problems at all. ❤️ Bruce is a very social boy! He loves everyone he meets, whether it’s humans or other dogs. He’s been well-socialised by his previous family, who regularly had him walked by a group dog walker, so he’s a pro at meeting new furry friends. ❤️ Bruce is very easygoing in the house. He loves to sleep, eat, and shower his humans with affection. He’s not a fan of loud noises and might flinch if something drops, but he’s quick to settle and return to his relaxed self. ❤️ Bruce is strong on the lead but has a lovely, steady pace. He’s more of a “sniff-everything” kind of dog than a long-distance runner! He enjoys his walks, but shorter, slower walks (no more than 30 minutes) every second day are just perfect for him. He’s a true diva at times, especially if he doesn’t get his way—he’ll dramatically crash to the ground and refuse to get up. But trust us, it’s all part of his charm! What Bruce Needs: • A home without small children or cats, as he has had trouble adjusting to children in the past. • A quiet, peaceful environment where he can thrive as the only pet. Bruce deserves to be the center of attention and soak up all the love he can get. • A garden would be ideal for him to potter around, and one without steps (he needs space to navigate). • A family that is happy to give him lots of affection and doesn’t mind a bit of diva behavior (he’s not afraid to demand attention with his funny “badooms!”). • Bruce would do best in a home where he doesn’t have to walk with other dogs—he likes his walks at his own pace. Bruce’s Stats: • Weight: Approx. 29kg (he’s a big boy!) • Vaccinated, neutered, and up-to-date with flea and worm treatment. • Loves getting in the car for adventures to parks and dog fields. • He can do stairs just fine when given the space, and he has no trouble getting in and out of the car. • He eats complete dry food twice a day and loves his joint supplements. Bruce is the ultimate companion who will bring so much joy, laughter, and unconditional love into your life. If you think you have room in your heart and home for this adorable, goofy, three-legged boy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. 🐶 Visit our website to complete an application form today: www.savingandrehomingstrays.org A virtual home check and an adoption fee of £200 will apply. Thank you for considering giving Bruce the loving home he truly deserves! 💖 ________________________________________ Bruce would be the happiest pup with a forever family that can spoil him with love, attention, and gentle walks. Is that you? 💕

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

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

Milly is described as a Labrador Retriever. Can live with Dogs Milly is looking for an experienced and active owner who have had nervous dogs before. She requires an adult only home where she won’t be spending anytime with children, including visiting children. She might be able to live with another dog pending a successful introduction. Milly is a nervous girl who will need to meet her new family a few times so she can get to know them well enough before she goes home. She is wary of people she doesn’t know, especially children, so will need a very understanding owner who won’t overwhelm her and manage her introductions to new people carefully. Milly is like most labs who loves her food which will be a good, strong start to help her make new friends. With those she knows best, Milly is very sweet, affectionate and partial to a belly rub. She is heavily food motivated, eager to please and really enjoys her training sessions. She loves to play with her toys and is very energetic so would thoroughly enjoy having an active owner who are keen to take her running or hill walking to burn off some of her energy.  After a good walk, she likes to curl up in a nice cosy bed to catch up on some z’s. Milly gets on with most other dogs as long as they are polite, so she may be able to live with another dog who matches her energy depending on introductions. It may take time to win Milly’s heart but, in the end, you will be rewarded with the most loyal, faithful companion.

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

Rosie is described as a Jack Russell Terrier. Can live with Dogs Teenagers We have matched Rosie to several applicants now which means we can no longer accept new interest for her. Rosie is looking for an experienced owner who have preferably had nervous dogs before and can build on her confidence. She struggles being left alone so requires an owner who will keep her company all day. Rosie may be able to live with older teenagers and possibly another small, quiet natured dog. Rosie is a very sweet natured girl who is incredibly loving once she knows you. She likes a cuddle on the couch and getting some belly rubs. She does form a strong attachment with those she trusts which does mean she can find it difficult when they leave so requires someone who can keep her company all day. She is a sensitive soul who can be worried by loud noises or sudden movements so needs a calm, patient owner who understand not to overwhelm her and give the reassurance she needs. Rosie does bark at other dogs when she is out and about but can have dog walking buddies if introduced properly. She may be able to live with a small, confident dog who she can seek confidence from when out on her walks. She is an active girl and enjoys going down to the beach or running around our paddocks to burn off some energy. Rosie will make a wonderful companion for someone who has the time and patience to help her thrive into the amazing little dog we know she is. Rosie has received some veterinary treatment whilst in our care. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.
