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.

Hello… I’m ArthurI’m a 5-year-old French Bulldog and, if I’m honest, I’m a total softy. I love people more than anything and my favourite place to be is right by your side — or even better… on your lap!I’m a giddy, happy chap who really enjoys being the centre of attention. Fuss, cuddles, compliments about how handsome I am? Yes please! With my big bat ears and sweet face, I’ve been told I’m quite the charmer — and I’m not afraid to use it.I’d really love a home where someone is around most of the time, because I adore company and being part of everyday life. I’ll happily follow you from room to room just to make sure I’m not missing out on anything. Wherever you are, that’s where I want to be.The humans here are still getting to know me, but they do know I’ve lived with other dogs before. They’ll be doing a bit more dog testing when we’re out and about to see who I might get along with best, and they’ll update everyone as they learn more. I’ve also lived with children before and could suit a family home — especially one where someone will play with me and keep me entertained.Cats, though? Not really my thing. I tend to bark at them, so a cat-free home would suit me best.If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate little shadow who will shower you with devotion and keep a smile on your face, I think we could be perfect for each other.Adoption fee: £350.

Hi, I’m Baileys!I’m a 5-year-old Lurcher cross and, if I’m being honest, a bit of a big softy. My absolute favourite thing in the world is attention from my humans. If you enjoy cuddles, fuss, and a dog who will happily soak up all the love you can give, then we might just be perfect for each other.I’m a very people-loving girl and enjoy being around my humans as much as possible. Because of this, I could happily live with a family, especially one with children over the age of 5. I can get a little giddy when I’m excited, but that’s only because I’m so happy to see everyone!While I adore people, I do prefer to be the only pet in the home. Other dogs and cats aren’t really my thing, so I’d love a pet-free home where I can have all the love and attention to myself.I’m looking for an understanding family who will help guide me through life and continue working with me on my training, especially when we’re out on walks. With the right support and a bit of patience, I know I can be the very best companion.I’m also one of Rains’ Spotlight Animals, which means my adoption fee is currently half price to help me find my forever home a little quicker.In return, I promise lots of cuddles, plenty of affection, and a loyal friend who will always be happy to see you.Could you be my forever home?Love from Baileys xMy adoption fee is £175.

Hi there! My name is Bear, and I’m a 4-year-old Lhasa Apso x Cockapoo… but most people just say I’m a very cute fluffy boy (and I’m not going to argue with that!).I’m here looking for my forever home, and I’m hoping it might be with you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself!First things first… I LOVE attention. If you’ve got hands for fuss, cuddles, and head scratches, we’re going to get along just fine. I’m also a bit of a kissing expert and like to give lots of little kisses to the humans who look after me. It’s my way of saying thank you for loving me!I’m also a good boy out on walks. I enjoy getting out and exploring the world, and I don’t pull too much on the lead, which makes walkies nice and relaxed for both of us. Fresh air, sniffing adventures, and spending time with my humans are some of my favourite things.In my previous home I lived with a female dog, so it’s possible I could live with another dog again after some careful introductions. The people looking after me are still learning more about me, so they’ll update my profile once I’ve had a proper dog test.One thing I do know about myself is that cats aren’t really my thing… I like to bark at them, so a cat-free home would be best for me.I’ve also lived with children before, so I could be happy in a family home. That said, I could also suit a quieter household too. Sometimes I can be a little bit giddy and a little bit anxious, so I’m really looking for a loving, patient family who will help me feel safe and settled while I find my paws again.What I promise in return is lots of love, lots of kisses, and a very loyal little companion who will always be happy to see you.If you think you might have the perfect sofa, plenty of cuddles, and a forever home for a little bear like me, I’d love to meet you.My adoption fee is £350.Love and tail wags,Bear

I’m a 1 year and 2 month old Akita, and I’m basically a big bundle of love and energy! I’m a beautiful, affectionate girl who throws her whole heart into everything I do — whether that’s heading out on an adventure, having a playful zoom around, or leaning right into you for fuss and cuddles.I absolutely adore my people and thrive on being close to them. Even though I’m growing up fast, I’m still a big baby at heart. I’ve got so much potential, but I’ll need a home that’s ready to continue my training and gently guide me as I mature. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, I promise I’m going to grow into a truly fabulous companion.In my previous home, I found it hard adjusting to living with another dog. Sharing my home space just isn’t something I’m comfortable with. When I’m out and about though, I’m lovely with other dogs — I’m happy to say hello and even enjoy a little play! I’d much prefer to be the only pet in the home, where I can fully relax, feel secure, and soak up all the love and attention for myself.I’ve never lived with children before, but I could suit a home with older children (10+) who understand that I’m a big, bouncy girl with lots of enthusiasm for life. I truly love being around people and being part of whatever’s going on.I’m ready to find my forever person — someone who wants a loyal, fun-loving best friend and is excited to help me become the very best version of myself. Could that be you?Adoption fee: £350.

Hi everyone, Phoebe here!Some of you might recognise my squishy little face because I’ve popped up on the Facebook page before. I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly.I’m Phoebe, a 4-year-old English Bulldog with a big personality packed into a very cute, wrinkly body. My favourite things in life are fuss, attention, more fuss… and just in case you missed it — even more attention! I am what the humans call a total fuss pot. If there’s a lap, a hand for stroking, or someone willing to tell me how beautiful I am, I’ll be right there soaking it all up. And honestly… with a face like mine, people usually can’t resist.Right now I’m not quite ready to head off to my forever home yet. I’m waiting for something called BOAS surgery which will help me breathe a lot better. Once that’s all sorted and I’m feeling my best, I’ll be one step closer to finding my family.The humans here are still getting to know me, so they’ll be doing a bit more dog testing to see how I feel about other doggy friends. I might be able to live with another dog, but if I’m honest… I do love being the centre of attention. Because I’m such a needy little princess, the team think I might be happiest as the only dog in the home so I can have all the love for myself.As for cats… well, I’ve never actually met one before! So the humans will need to do some cat testing to see what I think about those mysterious creatures.I have lived in a family home before, which means I already know a bit about home life. Because I can get a little giddy when I’m excited (which is quite often!), a home with children over the age of 6 would be best for me.So for now, I’m focusing on getting my breathing sorted, enjoying lots of cuddles, and perfecting my “give me attention” face. Keep an eye on the page for updates about me… because once I’m ready, I’ll be looking for a family who wants a loving, cuddly, slightly dramatic bulldog shadow by their side.My adoption fee is £350.Love and slobbery kisses,Phoebe

I’m a 1-year-old Terrier X with a big personality and even bigger energy! The humans at RAIN say I’m a really cool little dog – I just have so much enthusiasm for life that sometimes I’m not quite sure what to do with it yet. With the right person and the right home, I know I’m going to absolutely thrive.I’m looking for an adult-only home with someone who has experience with reactive and high-energy breeds. I’m a very clever boy and I’m already doing lots of training to help me learn how to settle and feel comfortable in busier environments. I’m trying really hard and I’d love someone who will keep helping me learn.I would need to be the only pet in the home, as I find being around other dogs or cats quite overwhelming. Having my own calm space where I can relax and focus on my training will really help me succeed.One thing you should know about me… I LOVE food. Like, a lot. This actually makes training really fun because I’m super motivated to learn when treats are involved! I’m very bright and enjoy being taught new things.I also really enjoy playing with my toys and can be a cute, silly boy when I’m having fun.Out on walks I can sometimes find loud noises a bit scary, especially motorbikes or big vehicles. Because of that, I need someone patient who understands dogs like me and can help build my confidence at my own pace.In the right home, with someone who understands my energy and gives me guidance, training and plenty to do, I know I’ll be an amazing companion.If you’re looking for a clever, fun, food-loving little whirlwind to train, bond with and go on adventures with, I might just be your perfect match.My adoption fee is £350.

BreedLurcher

I’m a handsome brindle Lurcher (about Greyhound size) with a gentle soul and a very big heart. I can be a sensitive boy, and I might feel a little nervous when I first meet new people or dogs — but if you give me a bit of time, patience, and a steady routine, I really do come out of my shell. I’ve made huge progress already!On walks, I can sometimes feel unsure around certain dogs (usually the bigger ones), but I wear my muzzle happily like lots of us sighthounds do — it doesn’t bother me at all. The good news? I love treats, I’ve got great recall, and I know lots of clever commands like “come,” “wait,” “bed,” “sit,” and “paw.” I’ve even enjoyed weekly group walks before, playing and socialising off-lead with my doggy friends of all shapes and sizes once I knew them well.At home, I’m a calm and gentle companion. I like being close to my people and will happily relax on the sofa nearby. One of my favourite ways to show affection is by leaning into you for a little fuss — and once I feel comfortable, I’m incredibly cuddly. I do get playful bursts of energy too! I love toys, tug games, and having a good zoom around outside. I’m very food motivated (snacks are the way to my heart!).I’m fully house trained, can be left for 3–4 hours, travel brilliantly in the car, and I absolutely love long walks.I have lived with children before, but I’d probably be happiest in a calm, child-free home, or with older children (13+) who understand that sometimes I just need a little space and kindness. I could live as the only dog and soak up all your love, or — with the right introductions — I might really benefit from living with a calm, confident female dog who can show me the ropes.Because of my sighthound instincts, I’ll need a cat-free home too.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a gentle heart and a playful streak, I might just be your perfect match.Adoption fee £350
