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

Bambi is described as a golden Mixed. Meet Bambi – A Little Lady with a Big Heart Date of Birth: 01 January 2015 Breed: Mixed Size: Small Location: Ayrshire, Scotland Health: Fully vaccinated, flea/worm treated, pet passport, BC tested (UK) Spay Status: Spayed Bambi is the kind of dog that quietly steals your heart. Originally adopted in 2016 after arriving from overseas, Bambi lived a peaceful life until changes in her adoptive home meant she could no longer be cared for. Sadly, she returned to us in poor condition, but after a full vet check, blood tests, and a much-needed dental (including some extractions), Bambi is now feeling so much better – and she’s ready to start her next chapter. At 10 years old, Bambi is calm, gentle, and a total cuddle sponge. She doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, but she absolutely thrives on companionship and would love a home where someone is around most of the time. She’s not needy – she just adores love and will happily curl up beside you for as long as you let her. This little gem is: Fully housetrained Walks beautifully on the lead Crate trained Travels well in the car Excellent with other dogs while out and about We’re looking for a child-free, dog-free home so Bambi can truly be the centre of someone’s world. She deserves nothing less after everything she’s been through. She may be small, but Bambi has so much love to give. All she needs now is a quiet, caring home and someone to finally make her feel safe and cherished, every single day. Ready to Adopt? If you can offer Bambi the warm and loving forever home she so deserves, please visit www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an adoption application form. A virtual home check and £500 adoption donation will apply. Let Bambi’s golden years be filled with love, comfort, and the happiness she’s waited so patiently for.

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

Daisy is described as a mixed mixed. Meet Daisy & Poppy – Sweet Sisters Searching for Their Forever Homes Date of Birth: 10 March 2025 Breed: Mixed Size: Medium (when fully grown) Location: Ayrshire, Scotland Health: Fully vaccinated, flea/worm treated, pet passport, BC tested (UK) Spay Status: Not yet spayed – must be completed under adoption contract when old enough Daisy and Poppy are two beautiful sisters who’ve overcome a rough start to life and are now ready to blossom in loving homes. Found as tiny puppies on the street, covered in ticks and desperately unwell, they were rushed to a vet for urgent care. Thanks to dedicated treatment and lots of love, they’ve made a full recovery and are now fit, healthy, and full of joy. Now safe in our rescue in Ayrshire, these girls have shown us just how affectionate and friendly they truly are. They adore cuddles and attention, and get along wonderfully with both people and other dogs. They have gentle natures and would be a great fit for many types of homes – including those with children or other friendly dogs. Although they haven’t been tested with cats, their young age means that with proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat, it’s likely they could live alongside feline friends too. A Few Things to Know: Daisy and Poppy have never lived in a home before, so their adopters will need to be patient and committed to helping them learn. They’re crate trained and clean, so housetraining is expected to come quickly. Basic training, including lead work and house manners, will be needed – but they’re smart and eager to please! What They Need: A loving, safe home (separately) Continued guidance, training, and socialisation A secure garden would be ideal Lots of cuddles, care, and reassurance Ready to Adopt? If you can offer Daisy or Poppy the loving forever home they deserve, please visit www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an adoption application form. A virtual home check and £500 adoption donation will apply. These girls are ready for the next chapter – could it be with you?

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

Leo is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with... Cats Children More about Leo Leo is looking for an owner who have had cats before to help build his confidence whilst he settles in. He may be able to live with cat savvy older children and possibly another cat. Leo can be a shy boy when he is in an unfamiliar place but, with a bit of reassurance, is quick to come around and show his affectionate side. He is an indoor cat and loves human company so would hugely benefit from having a family that can keep him company at home for most of the day. He is a fairly chilled out character and can usually be found relaxing or using his scratching post. If Leo was to live with another cat, it will need to be one that has a similar personality to him. During his stay with us, our vet has discovered that Leo has a heart murmur. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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

Asher is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with... Cats More about Asher Asher has now been matched to several applicants so we are no longer accepting new interest for him. Asher is looking for an experienced cat owner who have had nervous cats before. He requires an adult only home but may be able to live with another cat. Asher is a shy boy who needs an understanding owner who will help him understand that people aren’t so scary. His new owner will have to be patient with him and not be too hands on with him to start with, especially whilst he settles in. For this reason, he would not be suitable to live in home where there are children, including visiting children. Due to his nervous nature, Asher will be happy remaining as an indoor cat. He seems to enjoy the company of other cats within our cattery so may benefit from living with a confident cat.

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

Buddha is described as a Pocket Bully. Can live with... Teenagers More about Buddha Buddha is looking for an experienced owner who have had bully breeds before, so can fully understand the bully breed personality. She would like access to a garden so she has a space to work on her basic training. She may be able to live with dog savvy high school aged children but would like to be the only pet. Buddha is a confident, happy girl who is very loving with her people. She is a bundle of fun who is very playful and loves her squeaky toys or playing a good game of tug of war. She does have a cheeky side to her so will require an experienced owner who understand bully breeds though she is very eager to please. She enjoys her walks to the beach where she can have zoomies or take in all the interesting sights and smells that pass her. After a day full of fun and frolics, she loves nothing more than relaxing in a comfy spot for a snooze. While mostly confident, Buddha can be worried by the vet, so she requires a very understanding owner who can manage her visits to the vet and continue building on positive experiences, she is a sucker for squeezy cheese which does help! Buddha has had some veterinary treatment during her stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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

Champ is described as a Mastiff Cross. Can live with... Teenagers More about Champ Champ is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before. Although not essential, he would prefer access to a secure garden so he can enjoy another space outdoors. He is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with older teenagers who won’t be worried by his size. Champ is a very handsome, friendly boy who enjoys saying hello to everyone he meets. He is affectionate and enjoys being made a fuss of but does forget his size at times so can be very strong and boisterous so is best suited to an owner who know and love large dog breeds in order to get the very best out of him. He enjoys any kind of treat you have to offer so this will aid with his training. Champ enjoys his walks or running around the paddock but his favourite thing is going down to the beach. He is absolutely a water baby and happily hops into the water, although his new owner will need be prepared that he may want to take them with him for a swim! He is sure to make a fantastic addition to his new family.

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

Cookie is described as a Jack Russel Cross Poodle. Home Requirements An active owner More about Cookie Cookie is looking for an active owner who have had dogs before. She will need to be kept company all day until she settles into a well-established routine. She requires an adult only home where she will be the only pet. Cookie is a sweet girl who can be a bit shy and vocal towards people she doesn’t know but does warm up quickly if allowed to say hello at her own pace. She does become attached to her favourite people quickly and struggles if they leave her so she will need an owner who are patient and committed to working on this with her. Cookie enjoys her walks with other dogs and she can have doggy friends out and about, but she has shown that she does not always want to share her people or food around them so will only be suited as an only pet. She is full of energy and loves chasing after a tennis ball so would probably love to have an activity to do to keep her busy mind occupied. Cookie’s coat will require regular grooming; however, this is something she isn’t comfortable with. Her new owners will need to build up a positive association with being groomed.

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

Alan is described as a Border Collie. Can live with... Teenagers More about Alan Alan is looking for a home away from the city centre with an active owner who has had experience with collies. He could potentially live with older teens but would need to be the only pet in a home with access to a private garden. Alan is a young and excitable boy who loves activities that keep his mind busy. He has bags of energy and will need plenty of exercise, and extra activities to keep him happy and stimulated. He is, however, a typical collie with all the typical collie traits and can become overwhelmed in busy areas where there is a lot of traffic so is best suited to an owner who know and love the breed. He enjoys human company and can get anxious when left so will need an understanding owner who can spend time with him. Alan can have doggy friends out and about but has shown that he doesn’t like to share his things with them in the home so will only be suited as the only pet. He is a super boy and would make a great companion and a fantastic addition for an active family.

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

Cooper is described as a Hound Cross. Can live with... Teenagers More about Cooper Cooper is looking for an experienced, active owner who have owned hound breeds before and understand their traits. He will need to be kept company all day to begin with and he will benefit going along to training classes to continue working on basic manners. Cooper may be able to live with teenagers but needs to be the only pet. Cooper is a super friendly, cheeky and lovable goof ball who brings joy to everyone he meets. He can be stubborn when it comes to his training, so he requires an incredibly patient owner who have had experience with hounds before. 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 loves 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 loves his food in all forms, from doggy biscuits to fruit and veg which will be a brilliant motivator when continuing his training. Cooper has made a load of doggy friends here; he loves playing with them but he doesn’t always realize when his friends have had enough, and he can be persistent so would be better suited as an only pet so his owner can focus on him. Cooper has received some medical treatment whilst with us. More information will be provided with successful applicants.

Rosie is very lovely, excitable girl who loves being made a fuss of and making friends with everyone she meets. She is a happy girl who loves any kind of attention, whether that is going for a walk along the beach, playing with enrichment toys or just having a cuddle on the couch. As she is still young, she does require a committed owner who are prepared to work on her basic training, but she is keen to please so is sure to be a pleasure to train. She has made friends with every dog that she has met during her stay here and may like to live with another dog who she can learn some doggy etiquette from.
