Visit the National RSPCA Web Site on the care of Dogs.

Our Centre currently only holds Cats. Unfortunately, owing to a lack of funds, we do not currently have kennels and therefore have to pay private boarding kennels to look after the dogs on our behalf whilst new homes are found.

Please call us to arrange a time when we can meet you at the kennels for any viewings.

LONG TERM FOSTERING-DOGS 

From time to time we have dogs that for one reason or another cannot be fully adopted out. For those dogs, we have what is called 'Long Term Fostering'. That means that the fosterer will be responsible for the day-to-day care of the dog i.e. feeding, exercising, taking the dog to the vet if necessary and general love, care and protection. We will pay all the vet fees and be available to give advice if needed.

If you are interested in fostering one of our dogs, please phone 01886 822083

TEMPORARY FOSTER HOMES

We are urgently looking for short term foster homes for some dogs in our care who need to be in a home environment, rather than kennels, while waiting for their forever homes.
Please call 01886 822083 if you feel you may be able to help.

*SPECIAL APPEAL*

BRUCE

We are looking for a very special home for our special boy Bruce.

He is a 6 year old small brindle and white Staffie cross with exceptional needs. Bruce is a lovely friendly affectionate boy, good with other dogs and cats, but very scared of new houses and different situations. At the kennels he is happy, relaxed and loves everyone he knows and his familiar surroundings.


However, in a new home he would be very nervous and get easily spooked by noises. We feel this unusual behaviour has been caused by someone or something in his past, which has made him very unsure and on high alert, until he really gets to know someone well and can completely trust them and feel "at home".


So we are looking for someone in a quiet home, with no other pets, who can give Bruce the time, patience and understanding he so deserves. We would not normally suggest this, but feel for Bruce it may be the only way of introducing him to a new home, where he can in time feel relaxed and happy. Initially, a kennel in the garden may be the best way of Bruce getting to really know his new surroundings and trust his new carer. We feel sure, given time, he will be happy coming into the house for short spells and then increase the time he spends indoors. Hopefully he will realise in time, it's really quite nice inside with company and much better than being in the garden in a kennel !!    


Are you that special person who could help Bruce and are you up for a challenge ? The rewards would be  

great - he really is a wonderful boy and would be such a loving companion, once he got used to his new home and surroundings.


Please call Geraldine on 01886 822083 for more information.

BRIAN 

Brian is a good natured 18 month old Old English Bulldog cross, who has come into care through no fault of his own. He is a very special boy, looking for a special home, as he is hard of hearing. Brian is intelligent, friendly and affectionate. He loves company and would be really happy in a home where someone is around a good part of the day. Brian enjoys his walks and needs an active new owner. Give this boy your time and patience and he'll make a great companion and pet.

 

Brian is in good condition, housetrained, neutered, chipped, vet checked and vaccinated. He will be rehomed with 4 weeks free pet insurance. Please call Geraldine for more details on 01886 822083.


FRED

Fred is a white 3 year old American Bulldog cross, looking for his forever home. He is a very friendly, affectionate boy, who loves attention and fuss from people. Unfortunately he has not been given much guidance or training, so will need an experienced owner, who can give him the time, attention and training that he needs. Fred is a very active boy and will need a similarly active owner, particularly one who is able to handle a dog who is quite strong on the lead. He has not been socialised around other dogs, so will need some help to get used to being around them. Fred adores being around people and will be a wonderful companion for the right person. He needs to be in an adult home with a secure garden. He is in good condition, housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and will be rehomed with 4 weeks free pet insurance. If you feel you can help Fred, please call 01886 822083

Sammy


Sammy is a beautiful 8 year old whippet, who has come into care through no fault of his own. He's a really lovely, affectionate, friendly boy, who is a bit on the nervous side and is wondering why he's in kennels. 

He loves company and would be really happy in a home where someone is around part of the day. Sammy enjoys his walks and would be a loyal, loving companion. 

Sammy would benefit from a quiet home, as that's what he's used to (and he does get frightened of loud noises) and best as the only pet in the home. 

He is house trained, neutered, vaccinated and chipped. He will be rehomed with 4 week's free pet insurance. 

Please call Geraldine on 01886 822083 if you feel you can offer Sammy the forever home he so deserves.

BERNIE

Bernie is a small red tan and black two year old wire haired Jack Russell crossbreed terrier. He is a very cute, long haired, fluffy little man, who is looking for his forever home. Bernie is in good condition, with a soft coat. He did not have a good start in life and can be sensitive with some handling, so needs an owner who will be mindful of this and has a gentle approach with him.  

He is very much a typical Jack Russell, who needs a new home with no children or other pets, as he likes his humans all to himself. His ideal home is where he could be one to one. A new owner, preferably with knowledge of the breed, needs to be fully committed to Bernie and prepared to put in time and effort.  

Bernie just needs someone with patience and understanding, who will love him and he will be a loyal little friend.

He is housetrained, vet checked, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Please ring Geraldine on 01886 822083 if you feel you could offer Bernie the loving home he so deserves.
