New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Chilli
Chilli is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Teenagers Chilli is looking for an owner who have had a cat before and can keep him company for some of the day. He may be able to live with high school aged children but is looking to be the only pet. Chilli is a lovely boy who can lack in confidence around new people or certain noises but underneath his insecurities, there is a friendly boy who does like being made a fuss of. He requires a quiet home with an understanding owner who can help him build some much-needed confidence and provide him with hiding spaces, especially whilst he is settling in. He has been an indoor cat previously which he seems quite content with and, as he is young, it would be nice for him to have plenty of space to roam around. There could be a chance he may want to venture outside once settled in but it will depend on him and how he feels. We are sure Chilli will make a lovely companion for the right family.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Bonnie
Bonnie is described as a Jack Russell Terrier Cross. Home Requirements An experienced owner A quiet home Bonnie is looking for an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. She will need to meet her new family a few times before she goes home. Bonnie is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home. Bonnie is an extremely nervous girl who takes time making new friends. She becomes easily overwhelmed when strangers approach her so she requires a very patient, understanding owner who will give her the time she needs to come around in her own time, but she does like a treat which can help her warm up to you. She will be best suited to a quiet home where there isn’t much going on so she feels safe in her new surroundings, and she will need to be walked in quieter areas. Bonnie is a different little dog once she knows and trusts you. Underneath her worries she has a lot of love to give, is very loyal to her favourite people and loves nothing more than a cuddle up beside you on the couch or on your lap. It will take time to win Bonnie’s heart but, in the end, you will be rewarded with a loving companion. She just needs that special someone who understands her worries.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Archie
Archie is described as a tri colour Collie. Archie – Loyal, Loving, and Ready for Adventure! Archie is a handsome Collie with plenty of love to give! He has been around children and is said to be good with them. While he has lived with other dogs in the past, we have found that he can be reactive, so he may be best suited as the only dog in the home. His reaction to cats is unknown. Archie is both housetrained and crate trained. He enjoys his walks, though he can pull on the lead and may feel uneasy when approached by strangers. He knows several basic commands and is eager to learn, but he isn’t a fan of car travel. Archie is looking for a patient and understanding owner who can continue his training and help him build confidence. History Archie was handed into the centre for rehoming due to change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Archie is looking for an active and experienced home that can provide him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. He thrives on attention and would love a family that can keep him engaged with training, playtime, and exercise. As Archie has been around children before, we can consider homes with children who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs. However, he would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home. A home with Collie or herding breed experience would be beneficial, as Archie will do best with someone who understands his needs. A full toy box and plenty of enrichment activities will keep him happy! If you think you can offer Archie the loving and stimulating home he needs, we’d love to hear from you! Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Archie simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started. ADOPT ARCHIE Please support us ... DONATE NOW

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Ethil, Edith, Edna & Eva
Ethil, Edith, Edna & Eva is described as a varied Mixed. Names: Ethel, Edith, Edna and Eva D.O.B: 10.10.24 Breed: Mixed Size: Large Location: Ayr, Scotland These 4 stunning, rather large sisters are all looking for their forever homes ❤️ We took this little family under our SRS wing (complete with mummy Luci) after they were found living in sub zero temperatures in a Cemetery in Romania and they have now been in the UK for nearly four weeks. The sisters are going to be big dogs when they are fully grown as they are already around the 20 kg mark and they are quite five months yet. That said, they are absolutely delightful and really well behaved. Their brother Roy has already been adopted and was out walking on a lead within two days. Whilst being in rescue they have been clean in their living accommodation ever since they arrived and have shown no signs of any destructive tenancies. They have most lovely natures, although it gets slightly crazy when you first go in with them as they are all wanting attention! The girls are going to be fairly large when they grow as at just under five months they are already tipping the scales around the 20 kg mark, so they aren’t going to be for everyone. That said there loving and gentle natures make them suitable to be rehomed with children (their brother has gone to live with a two year-old and already adores her) and other dogs (their brother lives with another of our big girls who tips the scale at over 50 kg and they are already best friends). They will need basic training as they have never lived in a home environment, but we are confident that the sisters will take to home life as well as their brother has. None of the girls have been spayed as they are far too young and this will need to be done three months after their first season at the adopter's cost and is part of the adoption contract. They are all fully vaccinated to UK standards (including kennel cough), up-to-date with flea and worm treatment, microchipped, have their own passport and have had a negative UK brucellosis test. As these are going to be big dogs, they really need a home with a good size secure garden and as they are puppies need a home where someone will be home most of the time, but apart from that they are suitable for many different homes. If you have a rather large hole in your heart and on your sofa and would like to adopt one of these stunning pups, please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. (Please note a virtual home check and £500 adoption donation will apply.) Many thanks Team SRS ❤️

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Rosie
Rosie is described as a light brown Yorkshire Terrier. Name: Rosie D.O.B: 2014 (11 years) Gender: Female (neutered) Breed: Yorkshire terrier Meet Rosie – The sweetest companion looking for a loving retirement home. Rosie is a gentle, affectionate soul who is now seeking her perfect retirement home. Sadly, Rosie was rehomed by her current owner following the sad passing of her mummy, but has once again found herself in need of a new family, as her current owner is unable to care for her due to her own declining health. This marks the second time Rosie is looking for a fresh start, having already experienced the loss of her original owner, so it's our mission to ensure Rosie spends her golden years in a comfortable, loving environment filled with cuddles, care, and plenty of attention. While Rosie does have a bit of arthritis in her back legs, she is receiving the right treatment, including Newmove Max and CBD oil, to keep her comfortable. She also had some skin allergies in the past, but they’ve cleared up with treatment and she’s currently medication-free. Rosie has a heart full of love and would do best in a home where she can enjoy a slower pace of life. She is used to the company of older children, small dogs and even cats. However, she can be a bit bolshy with larger dogs, likely due to not getting out much with her previous owner. With a little patience and gentle training, we believe Rosie could adapt very well to new doggie friends. This sweet little lady loves the company of people, though she can be a little unsure in large crowds – after all, she’s quite small! She has a soft spot for her garden, where she loves to bury her bones, and is content lounging in her own bed during the day. At night, she loves snuggling up with her owner. Rosie may be small, but she has a big bark, and she’s always ready to alert you to any ‘intruders’ in her territory. Rosie still enjoys a walk, though she doesn’t venture too far these days. She also loves being wheeled around in her doggy buggy, making sure she can keep up with the action without overdoing it! We’d love to see Rosie in a home where she can potter around at her own pace, enjoying short walks or a ride in her buggy. A secure garden would be ideal so she can enjoy the outdoors safely between her strolls. If you think you could offer Rosie the peaceful, loving home she deserves, please complete an adoption application on our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org. (Please note a virtual home check and a £500 adoption donation are required to adopt this special little lady.) Rosie is ready to bring love, joy, and a touch of sweetness to your life – could you be the one to give her the home she’s been waiting for?

She has a fondness for soft toys and snuffle mats, which make the perfect treat time fun! Her donut bed is her favourite spot to relax, and you’ll often find her napping there during the day. Luby does enjoys any attention and is always up for a fuss. She may not be a constant lap dog, but she’s a sweet companion who will appreciate quiet moments with her humans. Luby’s Ideal Home: • Female-only household (due to nervousness around men in the home) • A calm, loving environment where she can continue her training • A family who enjoys daily walks and will give her space and patience to settle in • A cozy spot for her to rest and enjoy her favourite treats and toys Adoption Details: To adopt the beautiful Luby, please visit our website and complete an adoption application form (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org) (Please note a virtual home check and a £500 adoption fee will be required).

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Cody
Cody is described as a black and white Mixed. Name: Cody D.O.B: 10/09/2022 Gender: Male (neutered) Size: Small Breed: Mixed Location: Ayr, Scotland Meet Cody - The little fella with a big personality! Cody is mixed breed but looks like Jackahuahua (with a hint of Queen Ann table leg charm!). Cody is a wonderful little dog with a heart full of love and a lot of character. Rescued from Romania as a puppy, he came to us with a traumatic injury to his tail, which required surgery. He was quite a shy little pup, but was adopted into a home fairly quickly. Unfortunately this was not the right environment for Cody and he never really settled, so a year on he is now back with us in rescue and looking for his forever home. Cody is looking for a quiet and understanding home where he can truly thrive. He cannot be homed in a flat and ideally needs a rural (less urban) home with a garden. Personality: Cody is a sweet and friendly dog once he’s settled in. He can be a bit shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he’s an absolute bundle of fun! He’s great with other dogs, loves to run around and play, and is always up for an adventure. He’s also very curious and loves meeting new people while out on walks. Cody had shown some reactivity around visitors in his adoptive home, but he’s never been aggressive—just a bit of barking when he’s unsure, but he does not display these behaviours in rescue and we think that he was perhaps picking up on his adopters anxiety in his last home. What Cody Needs: Cody found living in an urban environment over stimulating, so he’s looking for a calm and quiet home, ideally in a peaceful area where he can relax. A child-free home with a secure, enclosed garden would be perfect for him to enjoy some outdoor time. While he’s not a fan of loud noises or crowded spaces, he thrives when he’s out on walks, especially in the countryside where he can run free and explore. He’s also a bit reactive to dogs on a lead, particularly big or unruly ones, but when he’s given space, he’s generally happy to play and interact with other dogs and has already made lots of doggy friends at the rescue. Since being back in rescue Codys behaviour has changed a lot and he is now a happy wee chappy with everyone he meets, including with strangers, so we feel that much of his behaviour was due to his environment and that a quieter relaxed home will bring out all of his positive attributes. Cody’s Likes and Dislikes: Cody loves to: • Zoom around and play chase with other dogs • Sniff and explore new places • Play tug-of-war with humans • Chew on soft toys and get the stuffing out • Enjoy treats, especially carrots • Run after sticks and balls (though he never quite got the hang of fetch!) Cody dislikes • Being bathed or towel dried • The sound of neighbours in a flat or the buzzer going off • Public transport or vet visits Training & Behavior: Cody has learned several commands, including Sit, Stay, Down, Watch, Come (his recall is good but could use reinforcement), and Leave It. He’s a visual learner, so hand gestures help him understand commands better. He is generally good on the lead and enjoys his walks, though he can be a bit stubborn at times. Cody has shown some resource guarding in the home, but has been easily trained out of this with positive reinforcement techniques. He should not be given bones or chew toys like yak chews, as he tends to guard them. Cody is happy around humans on walks, even strangers, and loves to sniff them, but he’ll always do things in his own way and at his own pace. He’s comfortable with being picked up and loves a cuddle. Adoption Details: If you think you can offer Cody the quiet, loving home he needs, please complete an application form on our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org. (Please note a virtual home check and a £500 adoption donation will be required to adopt this special boy.) Cody is looking for a family who can give him the space and understanding he needs to feel safe and loved. Could that be you? If you think you’re the perfect match for Cody, we’d love to hear from you! ❤️

New dog listed for rescue at the Staffie Smiles Rescue - JAZ
JAZ is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Sex Female Age 3 years old Size Medium - 25kg Dogs No Cats No Children No Jaz came to SSR from the pound, Jaz was in a terrible state - severely malnourished, bowed legs, cherry eye ect. Jaz has spent most of her life in kennels. Jaz is currently in a foster home with one of our committee members, any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times in her foster home (about 40 minutes from Edinburgh). We are looking for a forever foster home for Jaz, this means we will pay for any medical needs and behaviourist support for Jaz. Jaz will require a very special home who will be patient and take there time with her. Jaz is wary of strangers and any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times to build up a bond with her. Jaz has missed the crucial puppy stage learning and really does try to get things right and please us yet her urges often get the better of her. When over aroused, Jaz will nip and mouth quite hard Jaz's foster home are working on redirection and impulse control, but this will need to continue in any home, Jaz will regress when she moves. Jaz will need a quiet home with not many visitors, stair gates ect would need to be used, due to Jaz's wariness of strangers. Jaz is currently living with 2 dogs, but is kept separate in the house with stair gates. Jaz goes on walks with them and she doesn't seem phased by them but Jaz can become jealous and really bonds with people, so would be best suited to a pet free home. A pet free home would best suit Jaz so all the attention is on her and she can learn to settle without other distractions. Jaz is very playful and is 100 miles an hour, she loves playing with toys (she goes through many toys!). Jaz will need a home who will provide mental and physical stimulation for her, but also showing her when to be calm and when to rest, this is being worked on in the home and she is starting to take herself away for a rest. Jaz is mischievous and likes to steal shoes/slippers/bedding ect and will destroy them, so will need a home who isn't precious but also work with her on redirecting that. Jaz has been left for a few hours and has been good, she has settled down in the kitchen and will have a sleep, play with her toys and eat her chew, when left for a period of time she does become hyper on your return. Jaz will suit somebody that is home a lot. Jaz is essentially an overgrown puppy, but with a heart of gold, she is so funny and always makes us laugh. Once she trusts you she is so loving and happy. Jaz loves the garden and will spend all day out there if she can, she loves being outside sunbathing and playing with her toys. We know there is a special home out there for Jaz who will commit to her and were she will truly blossom. Jaz is in good health, she does have bowed legs due to malnourishment as a puppy, but this doesn't cause Jaz any issues. Jaz loves her walks, she loves being out and is currently in a quiet area were she can be on a long lead on the fields. If Jaz becomes over stimulated on a walk she can mouth/jump up/rag lead. This is being worked on, we are seeing a huge difference in her, Jaz has also been accepting her harness on without much fuss. Jaz is fine travelling. Secure garden. Experienced dog owner. Time and patience, who will work with Jaz and set firm boundaries. Quiet area with visitors being rare. Pet free home.
