New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Kimi
Kimi is described as a brown/white Mixed. Name: Kimi D.O.B: 10/12/2024 Gender: Female Location: Ayr, Scotland Kimi is an absolute poppet of a puppy and is actually one of a litter of EIGHT bothers and sisters … We will be travelling her beautiful mama and her 7 siblings soon, but as Kimi was poorly as a pup and needed to be taken away from the litter (who then would not accept her back), we decided to travel her first. I cannot begin to tell you how totally perfect she is and she’s as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. Kimi is just the most friendly and loving little bundle of fluff you will EVER meet and is a firm favourite at the rescue. She loves everyone she meets and already has lots of human and doggy friends. She lives in the house and is already crate and house trained, but will need work with other basic training as she’s only a baby. We haven’t done any lead work with her yet, but I’m sure she will take that in her stride just like she has everything else. Kimi is currently 5 months old and is still quite small, so we expect her to be in the medium size range when fully grown, but obviously this is just a guess as we do not know who her daddy was. Kimi is fully vaccinated to UK standards, up to date with flea and worm treatments and has had a negative UK brucellosis test. She is not spayed as she is far too young and this will need to be done three months after her first season. If you have room in your heart and home for this stunning little love bug please pop on to our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption fee apply....Thank you!

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Mr Bean
Mr Bean is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Home Requirements An experienced owner Mr Bean is looking for an understanding, experienced owner who have had anxious cats before. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or door and will need to be kept company for most of the day, especially whilst he settles in. Mr Bean is looking for an adult only home where he will be the only pet. Mr Bean is a lovely but anxious boy who can take time making new friends. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like and can have a feisty side if his boundaries aren’t respected. For this reason, he wouldn’t be suitable to live with children and requires an understanding owner who can see when he starts to become over stimulated. Once he learns to trust you, Mr Bean will show you his loving and cuddly side and he particularly likes rolling around on your lap or getting head scratches. He can be quite demanding and vocal when he wants something whether that be food or attention so his new owner will need to be prepared for this! He enjoys puzzle feeders or watching the world go by from the top of his climbing tower and is a keen explorer so would love access outdoors so he has plenty of space to roam. Mr Bean has had treatment for his skin during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Florence
Florence is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Children Florence is looking for an owner who have had a cat before and can keep her company for some of the day. She would like easy access outdoors via a door or window so she can explore. Florence needs to be the only pet but may be able to live with older cat savvy children. Florence is a real sweetheart who definitely thinks she should be treated like the princess that she is. She is very friendly and loves nothing more than being given a good ear or chin scratch and she enjoys being brushed. She is playful and enjoys chasing after her feather toy every so often but her favourite thing to do is lounge in her comfy bed. Florence’s 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.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - DJ
DJ is described as a Lurcher. Can live with Teenagers DJ is looking for an owner who can keep him company for some of the day whilst he settles in. He may be able to live with teenagers and can have doggy friends of similar size but would like to be the only pet in the home. DJ is a handsome, laid back lad who will make a fantastic addition to his new family. He may be a bigger boy but really, he is a kind soul who is friendly with everyone who comes to say hello to him and he would happily place himself on your lap for lots of cuddles and fussing. He is a dream on the lead and enjoys his walks down to the beach or running around our paddocks for zoomies or tennis ball chasing. DJ has made doggy friends similar to his size that he is happy to walk alongside but he can be worried by dogs who run up to him unannounced so his new owner will need to be mindful of this. He is very clever and easy to train as he is so motivated by his food! He is very much a lurcher and after a good walk, can be found happily snoozing in his bed or sunbathing on warm days. DJ 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 Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Scout
Scout is described as a Jack Russell Terrier. Can live with Dogs Scout is looking for an owner who have preferably dealt with nervous dogs before. He will need company for some of the day whilst he settles in and access to his own private garden. Scout is looking for an adult only home but may be able to live with a female dog depending on introductions. Scout is a sweet wee boy who can be nervous of new people to begin with and needs time to make friends. He loves a tasty biscuit which helps him warm up and will happily show off a trick or two for his reward for being brave. He also really enjoys his enrichment sessions, particularly a tasty filled kong or a likimat which will also help him gain confidence whilst he settles in. He enjoys his walks, is playful and loves running around our paddocks chasing after a squeaky toy. Scout can be wary of some dogs but is okay with most of the small dogs he has met so whilst it isn’t a necessity for him to live with another dog, if he was to live with one, it would have to be a female. It has been a long road for Scout, and we are extremely grateful to those who supported us so we could get him to where he is today. He deserves the most loving home he could ever wish for. Scout has had surgery on his knees 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 - Lola
Lola is described as a yellow Lab cross Poodle. Lola – The perfect blend of fun and love! Meet Lola – a fun-loving Poodle x Lab with plenty of personality! She’s been great with children (from toddlers to 10-year-olds) and has been known to get along with other pets like dogs and rabbits however, we don't know how she would be with cats. Lola is housetrained but isn’t a fan of being left alone for long—she tends to get stressed and bark. Lola is always up for an adventure and loves her walks, though she can be a bit strong on the lead and her recall still needs some work. She’s not a fan of busy roads and can be reactive around heavy traffic, so quieter walking routes would suit her best. Lola loves a good grooming session, although car rides aren’t her thing. If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate companion who’ll keep life interesting, Lola might be just the one for you! History Lola was handed into the centre for rehoming due to a change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Our gorgeous girl Lola is looking for a steady home where she can settle into a routine. She really does not like to be left alone and can get quite stressed so having someone around most of the day is a must. While Lola has previously lived with young children, we've found that she thrives best in a calmer environment and would be better suited to a home with older children who can respect her space. Lola can be selective with other dogs—some she gets along with, others not so much—so careful introductions are a must. She’s also quite the escape artist, so a secure garden and vigilant supervision are essential. Lola needs a calm home that can teach her that the world is not as scary as she sometimes thinks it is. This girl is the sweetest and she just loves cuddles and spending time with the staff and volunteers here at the centre, and she has definitely worked her way into our hearts. Could you let her work her way into your heart too? Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Lola simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Reggie
Reggie is described as a tan and white Fox Hound. Our Remarkable Reggie is looking for some stability in his life! This young lad is full of so much energy and just loves nothing more than zooming around our paddock with his friends! He is a sweet boy who can be a little shy in new sutuations but his daft, fun side soon comes out once he feels comfortable. History This handsome boy was one of a litter of 13 who was born here at the centre last year. Unfortunately he is now back with us looking for an active family who would love to welcome this handsome lad into their home. Re-homing Criteria Reggie loves to be out and about. We need a family that are willing to carry on with his training as he is so clever and just wants to please. A fully secure garden is a must with fencing of 6 foot to keep him safe and secure while in his own space. Due to his size and training needs we are looking for families with children over the age of 12 years. Reggie would love to live with another dog, we do not know what he would be like with cats but we do know he is great around horses! Reggie is a breed that has energy to burn, we can see him loving the outdoor lifestyle. Camping, hiking, milling around the stable yard and joining you on countryside hacks- he is not an urban dog and will never really enjoy that lifestyle. Do you need a running companion, someone to hike up that Munroe with ... our Reggie could be the one! ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Bruno
Bruno is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Cats Children Bruno is looking for an owner who has had a cat before and can keep him company for some of the day. He may be able to live with another cat and older cat savvy children. Bruno is a sweet friendly boy who is full of fun and mischief. He is incredibly affectionate and has a lot to give but can be a little worried by being picked up or over handled so his new family need to be understanding and not make him uncomfortable. He is a curious character which does mean he can get under your feet at times so he can see what you are up to so his new owner will need to be mindful of this! As he is still young, he will need to remain as an indoor cat for the time being, but he is full of energy and will probably LOVE to explore the outside world once he’s old enough. If Bruno was to live with another cat, it will need to be a patient one that matches his energy levels.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Ghost
Ghost is described as a French Bulldog Cross Pug. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Ghost is looking for an experienced owner who have a good understanding of dog body language. She would like her own private garden so she has her own safe space that she can enjoy peacefully. She needs to be the only pet in an adult only home. Ghost is a lovely girl who will require a lot of time and patience in order for her to reach her full potential of making a fantastic companion. Our team have been working very hard with her to work on her confidence as she can become uncomfortable if unknown people try to approach her to say hello when she’s not ready to. She requires a knowledgeable owner who can see when she starts to feel unsure and allow her to take things in her own time which will be a gradual process. Once she learns to trust you, she is very cuddly and enjoys sitting on your lap for some belly rubs. She is energetic, playful and loves running around with her favourite toys (although can get a bit too over excited at times!) She is full of beans, thoroughly enjoys her walks down to the beach and putting her nose to use so may enjoy an activity like scentwork. She hasn’t had much socialising with other dogs but does make friends with them if introduced properly. Ghost has had treatment for her skin whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Scruffy
Scruffy is described as a Jack Russell Terrier Cross. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Scruffy is looking for an owner who have owned nervous dogs before and can continue working on his socialisation skills. He would prefer access to a garden so he can work on his housetraining and will need to be kept company all day. Scruffy needs to be the only pet in an adult only home. Scruffy is a sweet, affectionate boy once he knows you but is very nervous of new people to begin with. He would greatly benefit by going along to training sessions to help him with his social skills around other people and dogs. Having a tasty biscuit on offer does help win him over but he needs his new owner to be very patient and understanding with him until he warms up. He lacks in confidence and particularly finds busy areas overwhelming so he needs to be walked in quieter areas first so he can work on his confidence building. Scruffy will need some work to help him become a more sociable boy but is sure to make a wonderful companion for a committed owner.
