About MeHi, I’m Ace!I’m a typical Frenchie boy with a huge personality, plenty of sass, and lots of love to give. I love playing, learning new things, and will do almost anything for a tasty treat! Once I’ve made friends with someone, I’m incredibly affectionate and enjoy nothing more than being close to my people, whether we’re out having fun or curled up on the sofa for cuddles.

Meet Aengus - 10-Year-Old Miniature Poodle Looking for a Special Forever Home Aengus is a sweet and affectionate 10-year-old Miniature Poodle who is searching for a patient and understanding home where he can… Meet Aengus – 10-Year-Old Miniature Poodle Looking for a Special Forever Home Aengus is a sweet and affectionate 10-year-old Miniature Poodle who is searching for a patient and understanding home where he can continue to thrive. Aengus forms very strong bonds with his people and loves nothing more than being close to them-ideally curled up on a lap. Due to severe separation anxiety, Aengus is looking for a home with at least two adults who can ensure he is not left alone for long periods. He would suit a household where someone is around for most of the day and where his need for companionship can be accommodated. Aengus is initially nervous around new people and can take a little time to build trust. However, once he gets to know someone, he forms incredibly strong and loyal bonds. His current foster home has seen him blossom in confidence, revealing a playful and loving personality that wasn’t immediately apparent when he first arrived. He enjoys playing with his ball and loves getting out for walks, making him a wonderful companion for people who enjoy spending time outdoors as well as relaxing at home. For Aengus’s comfort and wellbeing, he would be happiest as the only pet in the home, allowing him to receive the attention and stability he needs. As a Miniature Poodle, Aengus’s coat requires regular maintenance to keep it healthy and comfortable. Any potential adopter must be committed to his ongoing grooming needs, including regular brushing and professional grooming appointments as required. Aengus’s Ideal Home:

Auras Dogs

Alaska is a beautiful husky but who came to us quite some time ago from the stray kennels Sadly on assessment, Alaska seemed in discomfort with his back left leg On further vet exam, it was discovered that Alaska had a previous injury to his hip which had not healed correctly, causing pain and havoc all down his leg It was a tough choice on what to do, but the priority was to rid Alaska of pain. Alaska underwent an operation on his hip this year, and has had subsequent physio and hydrotherapy since. He has made a wonderful recovery and the vet has signed him off to be adopted and is very happy with him! Alaska is a beautiful, affectionate and sweet boy, who we have got to know really well over the last few months. He is lovely to walk, calm at home, can be left for short periods, and has endless love to give! He is such an amazing boy, and we can’t wait to give a family the wonderful opportunity to add him to their home There is a possibility that Alaska may need a second operation to his kneecap. However the vet is hopeful that he won’t. This will be covered by the rescue should be need this done in the future (must be with our vet) and this can be discussed further. It will be important that a forever home keeps up with Alaska regular exercise to maintain the muscle he has in his leg, we have worked hard to get it to this point! Could you be the proud new parents of Alaska?

Aspall is a beautiful ex-racing greyhound with a heart of gold who is looking for a home with owners who can give her the love and attention she has never had before. She has always been kept in a kennel and has never had a place to call home or a comfy sofa to lie on, so we would love to find her an owner who could provide this for her.She is affectionate and enjoys the company of people and it would be really great to find her a loving forever home as soon possible. She could also potentially live with children of 12+ years after suitable meets at the Centre.Aspall loves going out with her Sighthound friends and having zoomies in the secure paddocks. She does walk nicely on the lead, but will need to wear a muzzle in public places due to being an ex-racer. She could potentially live with another dog of similar breed and/or size pending successful meets at the Centre, but she is not suitable to be homed with small dogs or cats.Weight: 22kg approxCan you offer Aspall a fresh start in life and a home she has never had before?

Gables Dogs & Cats Home

Hello, I’m Aussie, and everything around me still feels very new. I’m only young and haven’t had many opportunities to experience the world, so I’m taking things one step at a time while I learn that new people, places and experiences can be safe.Right now, I find a lot of comfort in being around my siblings and puppy friends. They’ve helped me build a little confidence, and I’m slowly starting to come out of my shell. I’ve especially enjoyed spending time outside in the sunshine, and I’m beginning to discover how much fun toys can be when I have other puppies to play alongside.I’ve recently met an adult dog that I hadn’t known before. Although I was a little nervous at first, I was curious and wanted to say hello. Because of this, I think I’d really benefit from living with a calm, friendly dog who can show me the ropes. My new canine companion would need to be patient and let me approach at my own pace, rather than expecting me to be confident straight away.Walking on a lead is completely new to me, so I’m just getting used to wearing a harness before I begin exploring the outside world. There’s still lots for me to learn, but I’m making gentle progress every day.My ideal home will be peaceful, patient and understanding. Moving into a new environment is going to be a big change for me, so I’ll need plenty of time, space and reassurance while I settle in. With kindness, consistency and lots of gentle encouragement, I’m sure I’ll grow into a wonderful companion.*PLEASE NOTE – we are currently looking through application forms that are already on file. Potential adopters will be contacted shortly*

She’s looking for a home where she can build confidence at her own pace and enjoy quieter walks while continuing to work on her dog social skills. If you're prepared to invest a little time and training into this special girl, Babs is ready to reward you with endless affection, laughter, and love.Can't adopt?

Badger is a handsome, fun, and affectionate lad who is looking for loving home willing to help him reach his full potential. He thrives on human company and loves to be close to his people. He can sometimes forget his size and would happily curl up on your lap for cuddles and kisses! He is a clever, responsive dog who is eager to please, making him highly trainable and an excellent candidate for general obedience, fun training classes, scent work, or dog sports. He can find it difficult to switch off at times, so his new family should be prepared to help him learn how to relax, with crate training potentially proving beneficial.While he is generally confident in the home environment and enjoys meeting people indoors, he can feel worried when approached by unfamiliar people out and about. He can also be a little sensitive to traffic, so he would be best suited to quieter walking routes away from busy roads. With the right support, he’s sure to make a fun, loyal and rewarding companion. Badger cannot be rehomed to certain areas in or around Bath.Can't adopt? Please donate to help pets in need today.
