About Animals In Distress

Animals in Distress is a community-founded animal rescue charity established in 1981 to support pets in South Devon who had lost their homes through no fault of their own. What began as a small volunteer-led effort, with animals cared for in local kennels and private homes, grew into a permanent rescue centre in Ipplepen in 1994. Today, the charity provides care and rehoming for hundreds of animals each year, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. With strong roots in the local community, Animals in Distress remains committed to treating every animal with dignity, kindness, and ongoing care until a safe and loving forever home is found.

Apply to rehome me Bella Lurcher / Black and White Female 1 years, 1 months My reference is [DO23977-Dog] About me Hello everyone my name is Bella. I am a very pretty 1 year old Lurcher. I am looking for an active home with new owners that understand my breed type. I am a very sweet girl that loves everyone, I can however be quite bouncy and some-times forget how big I am. I walk really nicely on lead after a bit of an excited start. Sadly I have not been socialised much so I will need to learn some manners around other dogs, I can get a bit over excited. I do currently struggle to be left on my own so will need some-one that is prepared to help me with this. Children 10 years plus due to my size and the fact that I am bouncy. I May be able to live with another dog that could match my energy levels. No cats or small furries. Back to Dogs Looking for HomesAbout me Hello everyone my name is Bella.
