Barley Male 14 Years LurcherWarm sofa needed for Barleys golden months.Reason for surrender – Barley was transferred to us from another rescue following animal welfare officer involvement in his case.Barley recently arrived with us and at 14 years young he does have a few age related issues. We know this will probably make adoption more difficult. However we are sure this gentleman can still bring a lot to any household and he still has so much love to give, We do however see that this wee gentleman can bring so much love and warmth to a home. He sure is making impressions on the team here.Barley appears to have very limited hearing and the eye sight will of course not be what it once was. Barley loves his food, but because of the age related issues your job is to gently hand deliver his treats direct to his mouth.We are currently monitoring Barley closely to ensure he is comfortable, we are discussing with our vets whether some pain relief may benefit him.AN APPLICATION FORM MUST BE COMPLETED TO BE CONSIDERED We are open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1.30pm – 4.00pm.

Are you right for Bean?Say hello to sweet Bean! Bean is looking for her new home with her best friend Charlie! As these dogs are not used to living with children, we feel they will be best suited to an adult only home where everyone understands when they want their own space. Charlie and Bean would prefer to be the only dogs in their new home, but could live with cats with proper management while they settle in together. Bean is housetrained and can be left for short periods of time until leaving time can be built gradually. We feel Charlie and Bean will benefit from quieter walking areas while they get used to their new home. They both travel well in the car and will happily join you for daily adventures!

Bella is a special girl who needs a suitable home.Bella is a beautiful little Cocker spaniel x Retriever who needs a suitable adult only home. She isnt suitable around kids, so needs a home with no kids and if any kids are visiting she would need to be kept seperately. She is crate trained, so could be placed in a crate in a seperate room. Bella is ok with other dogs on walks and can share her play area with other dogs no problem, but she would like to be the only dog in the home as she much prefers her own space. She likes playing with her toys and would play fetch all day if you let her. She is also happy to content herself running around with a toy in her mouth or watching the birds. She does walk ok on the lead in quiet and rural areas, but in busier areas she has a tendancy to pull towards fast moving objects such as cars, cyclists etc. Aslong as she gets her needs met through excercise or brain games she is a happy girl. If she doesnt and she gets bored, she can start staring at shadows/reflections due to boredom. She is used to sleeping a crate at night time. She did have a nipping/biting incident in her previous home when they tried to pick her out of the carboot while she was sleeping, so its believed she may have some sleep startle. We have had no aggression from her during her time with us, she is very food and toy orientated which makes training easier. She is a good girl who just needs a suitable forever home. Before coming into our care, Bella did suffer from ongoing tummy issues. Tests were done and it was discovered she had been dealing with an ongoing parasite infection which required special medication to treat. She has now completed two courses of this medication to make sure all the bugs are dead. But as a result of the years without treatment, she has been left with a sensitive tummy and can have flair ups of soft stool at times.

Meet Belle, a 9-year-old Shih-Tzu x Lhasa Apso with a gentle, loving nature. She is a quiet little girl who enjoys nothing more than cuddles on the sofa and curling up in front of the fire after a nice long walk. Belle can struggle with anxiety if left alone for long periods, so she would be best suited to a home where someone is around for most of the day, or where she has the company of another friendly dog. She is good with people, children, and other dogs, although she can be a little shy when she first meets new people. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality really shines through. Belle is looking for a calm, loving home where she can relax, feel secure, and enjoy the comforts she loves so much. •
