About Rain Rescue

Rain Rescue began with just three cattery rooms and the use of boarding kennels, steadily expanding to meet growing areas of need before registering as a charity in 2006. Formerly known as Rotherham Animals In Need and later Rescuing Animals In Need, the charity has continued to evolve while maintaining a strong commitment to animal welfare as a full member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH). Today, Rain Rescue supports homeless and abandoned cats and dogs by providing safe shelter, medical care, and carefully matched new homes. The charity also helps pet owners facing unexpected crises by supporting the rehoming of much-loved family pets when circumstances change. Guided by the motto “For pets and people, through every storm,” Rain Rescue remains dedicated to caring for both animals and the communities around them.

Hi, I’m Bailey!I’m a 4 year 9 month old Cockapoo looking for a family to share all my love, cuddles, and zoomies with!If you’ve got toys, then we’re already going to be best friends.

Whether it’s chasing a toy around the garden or showing off my speedy zoomies, I know how to keep everyone smiling!When I’ve finished playing, my softer side comes out. I’m a big cuddly teddy bear at heart and love nothing more than curling up for some fuss and affection. If you’re looking for a dog who enjoys snuggles as much as playtime, then I could be the girl for you.Like many Cockapoos, I can be a little bit anxious at times, especially when I’m faced with new situations. But don’t let that fool you – it certainly doesn’t stop me from enjoying life! With a little patience, reassurance, and love, my confidence continues to grow and my fun-loving personality really shines through.I’ve previously lived with another dog called Brandy, who is also looking for her forever home, so I may be able to live with another dog pending successful introductions.Cats aren’t really my cup of tea, so I’d be happiest in a home without any feline friends.I’ve also lived with children before and enjoyed being part of family life. As long as the children in my new home are comfortable around a giddy, excitable girl like me, I could fit right in!The kennel team are still getting to know me and will update my profile as they learn more about my personality, likes, and dislikes.I’m looking for a family who will give me plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to play.

Hello, we’re Brie and Lumiere!We’re a bonded pair looking for a forever home where we can stay together. We’ve shared our lives with one another and take comfort in each other’s company, so we’re hoping to find a family with enough love for both of us.I’m Brie, the paler one. At 8 years and 1 month old, I’m the older lady of the duo. I’m sweet, gentle, and happiest when I’m getting fusses and cuddles from my favourite people. I love affection and would happily spend my days curled up beside you, enjoying all the attention you can give.And I’m Lumiere, the darker one!

My happy nature and wiggly bum are guaranteed to make you smile.We’re both typical Frenchies through and through—full of character, affection, and charm. We love being involved in whatever our people are doing, enjoy plenty of attention, and aren’t afraid to make our opinions known when we think it’s important!The kennel team are still getting to know us, so they’ll continue to update our profile as they learn more about us. So far, they’ve found us to be a lovely pair who enjoy human company and plenty of affection.We have both lived with children of all ages before and could happily live in a family home.

I like to make sure everyone knows I’m there! But please don’t let that put you off.

Hi, I’m Buster!I’m a 2 year 4 month old French Bulldog, and if you’re looking for a dog who will keep a smile on your face, then I might just be your perfect match!I’ve got a big personality packed into my little body, and the kennel team are always laughing when I’m around. Life is just one big adventure to me, and I love making the most of every moment.When I get excited or I’m in a playful mood, I have a funny habit of bouncing up into the air like I’ve got springs in my legs! It’s one of my favourite ways to show everyone just how happy I am. If that wasn’t entertaining enough, I also love doing my famous army crawl when I’m out in the field. The kennel team never know whether to laugh or cheer me on as I wriggle my way across the grass!Now, I should probably be honest and tell you that I do have a slightly grumpy side too. I can take a minute to warm up to new people and like to decide for myself who my friends are. But once you’ve earned a place in my good books, you’ll have a best friend for life. I absolutely adore the people I know and trust.I’m also quite fond of being a little grump when I’m out on walks. I like to have a bark at people and dogs that I see – silly, I know! The kennel team always laugh because I like to act tough, but really I’m just a character with lots of opinions that I feel the need to share with the world. I have lived with other dogs before, but the kennel team still need to do some dog introductions with me to see what sort of canine friends I might like in the future. They’ll update my profile once they’ve learnt a bit more about me and my preferences. Cats are a no from me, I’m afraid, so I’d need a cat-free home.When it comes to children, I’d be best suited to a home with older teenagers aged 16+ who can understand that, although I’m a funny and affectionate boy, I can have my grumpy moments and appreciate people respecting my space when I need it.Despite my grumbly moments, I’m a fun-loving boy who enjoys attention and spending time with my favourite humans. Whether we’re playing games, exploring the field, or just hanging out together, I’m happiest when I’m involved in whatever is going on.If you’re looking for a dog with a fantastic sense of humour and enough character to keep you entertained for years to come, then I could be the boy for you.Could you be my forever family?My adoption fee is £350.

The kennel team tell me I’m a very good girl, and I certainly try my best to make everyone smile!Because I love human company so much, I’m looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day. I would find it difficult being left on my own for long periods, so my ideal family would be able to spend lots of time with me and include me in their daily lives.I could potentially live with another dog following successful introductions, but if I’m honest, I’d probably thrive most in a home where I can have all the attention to myself.

Hi, I’m Pickle!I’m a 1-year-old crossbreed with a big heart and lots of love to give. I may look like a confident, bouncy girl when I’m racing around having fun, but the truth is I’m still learning about the world around me.You see, I’ve never really had the chance to experience much in my life so far, which means everything is brand new to me. New places, new sights, new sounds, and new people can sometimes feel a little scary, and I can be quite a nervous girl while I work things out. The lovely kennel team have been helping me build my confidence every day, and they’re so proud of how far I’ve come already.Once I know I’m safe, my sweet and affectionate personality starts to shine through. I love spending time with people and am always looking for reassurance and kindness. When I really trust someone, my fun side comes bursting out! I can be quite giddy, excitable, and full of energy, always ready for an adventure or a game. I am looking for a home that has someone around a lot, as when I do feel comfortable I can be a needy girl who always wants some love.As the kennel team are still getting to know me, they’re learning more about me every day. They think I could potentially live with another confident, friendly dog who could help show me the ropes and build my confidence. They’re not sure if I’ve ever met a cat before, so a home with a dog-savvy cat may be a possibility pending introductions. Because I’m a sensitive and sometimes nervous girl, and can also be quite bouncy and excitable when I’m comfortable, the team feel I’d be best suited to a home with children aged 16 and over.I’m looking for a loving home that will give me the time, understanding, and encouragement I need to continue growing in confidence. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle, fun-loving best friend who will make every little milestone feel like a huge achievement.Could you be the one to help me discover just how wonderful life can be?My adoption fee is £350.
