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

Max is described as a Lurcher. Can live with Teenagers Max is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before and are committed to continue his ongoing training. He would like easy access to a secure garden and to be kept company for most of the day. Max could live with dog savvy older teenagers but needs to be the only pet. He requires a home in a quiet area away from the city centre. Max is a friendly, boisterous big boy who doesn’t realise his own size. He doesn’t seem to have had much consistency in his short life and is still currently undergoing training so his new owners must be prepared to visit him at the Home a few times to do some training sessions before he is ready to leave. Although he has made doggy friends, he becomes easily frustrated when he sees them which results in him becoming very strong on his lead and jumping up so he needs an owner who will manage his introductions carefully. He is a clever boy who is eager to please and he will do anything you ask of him for a tasty bit of chicken. Max is really an affectionate big baby at heart, and he loves being made a fuss of. He is very playful and enjoys a tug toy or anything soft & squeaky. He adores his food and likes his enrichment sessions that include a tasty filled kong. Max will require a lot of commitment from his new family in order for him to reach his full potential but he is sure to bring a lot of joy to your life.

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

Dusty is described as a Bearded Collie. Can live with Teenagers Dusty has been very popular so we are no longer accepting new interest for her.

Dusty may be able to live with older teenagers but would like to be the only pet in her new home. Dusty is an extremely sweet but nervous girl who does lack in confidence when it comes to meeting new people but with patience and reassurance does come out of her shell. She can be easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements so would like a quiet, predictable home with someone who is understanding and will give her reassurance for when she feels worried. She adores the people she knows best, loves getting her tummy rubbed and is incredibly affectionate. Being a collie, she will require plenty of mental and physical stimulation, her favourite game is chasing after a tennis ball but she may also like to do some hill walking or running. After a day full of fun, she likes to curl up in her cosy bed for some much-needed snoozing. She will make a loving addition to her new family. Dusty’s coat will need to be regularly groomed to keep it matt free so any new owner will need to be mindful of the extra time and financial cost this will bring.

Bertie may be able to live with high school aged children and possibly a female dog. Bertie is a sweet boy who can be quite nervous of new people to begin with.

With those he knows well, Bertie is incredibly affectionate and loves being made a fuss of and he would probably make the ideal lap dog.

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

Bentley is described as a white and black Mixed. Name: Bentley D.O.B: 05/08/2023 Gender: Male Breed: Mixed breed Location: Ayr, Scotland Meet Bentley - the gentle boy with a heart full of love! Bentley is a handsome and lovable large/medium boy who is looking for his forever home. Bentley may be a big boy in size, but his heart is even bigger! Bentley’s journey has not been an easy one. Rescued as a puppy, he spent his early years in a Romanian vet clinic after being diagnosed with diabetes. Despite his condition, Bentley remained a sweet and affectionate pup, but sadly, no rescues offered to take him on due to the ongoing medical costs. That’s when we stepped in and brought him to the UK in June 2024, giving him the second chance he truly deserves. Since arriving in the UK, Bentley has flourished! With regular vet visits and medication, his diabetes is now stable. He is such a trooper and takes his daily medications and regular blood tests in stride. Bentley is THE most patient, gentle, and loving dog you’ll ever meet, and his calm, positive nature makes him a joy to be around. Bentley’s diabetes does require him to follow a strict diet to keep his glucose levels stable. His adoptive family will need to commit to maintaining this routine, but Bentley’s loving nature and wonderful personality make it all worthwhile. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has also lived alongside cats in the vets, so he’d be happy in a multi-pet household. His favourite things include sunbathing, cuddling with his human friends, and being the centre of attention (he’s quite the charmer!). Bentley has won the hearts of everyone who meets him, and it's impossible not to smile when you see his sweet face. Despite his remarkable qualities, Bentley has had little interest from potential adopters. We believe this is largely due to his ongoing medical condition even though he rarely needs to see a vet now that his condition is well under control. As a charity, we are committed to continuing Bentley’s insulin medication costs for as long as necessary, but what he truly needs now is a family who will appreciate his kind spirit and give him the love he deserves. Please note that Bentley would thrive in an adult-only home where he can live safely with his strict diet and no temptation for food outside of his prescribed meals. If you think you can offer Bentley the loving home he deserves, please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application at https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form. (Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply). We know Bentley has so much love to give, and with your help, he’ll find the perfect home where he can live the rest of his days surrounded by warmth, love, and cuddles. Thank you for considering giving this incredible boy the life he deserves!
