Shadow is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Teenagers Shadow is looking for an experienced owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers. Shadow is a sweet boy who can have a sensitive side when it comes to meeting new people or exploring new environments. He would like a patient, understanding owner who can give the reassurance he needs and provide him with hiding places like an igloo bed so he can take himself away if he feels too overwhelmed. He loves his food which can help win him over and give him a bit of confidence. Shadow has lot of love to give once he is comfortable with you and he doesn’t mind being picked up for a cuddle. He hasn’t shown much interest in playing but this may change once he has settled into his new home. He is however, quite inquisitive so would really enjoy having plenty of space outdoors to explore when the mood takes him.

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Charmander

Charmander is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Teenagers Charmander is looking for an experienced cat owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers. Charmander is a happy, playful boy who is full of fun and loves chasing after his toys, especially noisy ones. As he is quite active, he would love to have access outside where he can roam till his heart is content. He is a massive foodie but can be bit too greedy at times so is always fed with a slow or puzzle feeder which he thoroughly enjoys. Whilst not overly affectionate, he does like human attention and fussing but only on his own terms which his new owner will need to be understanding of. After a day of eating and playing, he can usually be found lounging stretched out watching the world go by.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Nala

Nala is described as a Lakeland Terrier. Home Requirements An experienced owner A quiet home A home with garden Nala is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who understand terriers and the quirks they can have. She will require access to her own private garden so she has a safe space to enjoy the outdoors away from other dogs. Nala will need to be the only pet in an adult only home. Nala may be small, but she does have a spicy personality. She certainly knows what she does and doesn’t like but, by managing her interactions carefully, her new owner can avoid any unnecessary frustrations. Nala can be loving and affectionate with those she knows, but can be nervous around unfamiliar people so the best thing is to give her space until she feels ready to say hello. The key to winning her over is by playing with her toys which she would happily do all day if you gave her the chance. She is uncomfortable around other dogs, but she does have bounds of energy to burn off so will require plenty of exercise in quieter areas to keep her happy and she may even enjoy doing scent work. Nala has a lot of potential to make a fantastic companion for someone willing to put the work and time into her.

Sandy is a lovely girl who can be unsure of new people to begin with, but with the help of a treat or her favourite toy, does warm up and enjoys a cuddle once she is comfortable with you. She can be worried by being handled too much and is wary in the vet, so she requires a very understanding owner who can see when she starts to feel uncomfortable and have the patience to help her through this. Sandy may be a little older, but this does not slow her down! She is full of energy; LOVES running around after her toys and thoroughly enjoys her walks. She would love to explore new places where she can put her nose to good use and would be happy to have dog walking buddies alongside her. Sandy has had some veterinary treatment during her stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Buster

Buster is described as a silver Crossbreed. Lovable guy looking for a second chance at life. This is the very handsome Buster. Recently life has thrown him a curve ball and he has found himself looking for a fresh start. He has been in the same home since he was a pup so this is all very new to him. His previous family said he was fine around children and cats, coped well around other dogs - although he isn't so keen on small dogs, travels well in the car and has been housetrained. He is an active boy who enjoys getting out and about and loves a good run in the paddock. History Buster's previous owners had to make the tough decision to rehome him due to their health issues. Re-homing Criteria Buster loves being out and about so he is looking for an owner who is up for daily walks and little adventures. He could potentially live with another dog and also could live with cats. His recall is ok but a secure garden would be ideal. He is happy to be left on his own for short periods of time.

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Kimi

Kimi is described as a brown/white Mixed. Name: Kimi D.O.B: 10/12/2024 Gender: Female Location: Ayr, Scotland Kimi is an absolute poppet of a puppy and is actually one of a litter of EIGHT bothers and sisters … We will be travelling her beautiful mama and her 7 siblings soon, but as Kimi was poorly as a pup and needed to be taken away from the litter (who then would not accept her back), we decided to travel her first. I cannot begin to tell you how totally perfect she is and she’s as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. Kimi is just the most friendly and loving little bundle of fluff you will EVER meet and is a firm favourite at the rescue. She loves everyone she meets and already has lots of human and doggy friends. She lives in the house and is already crate and house trained, but will need work with other basic training as she’s only a baby. We haven’t done any lead work with her yet, but I’m sure she will take that in her stride just like she has everything else. Kimi is currently 5 months old and is still quite small, so we expect her to be in the medium size range when fully grown, but obviously this is just a guess as we do not know who her daddy was. Kimi is fully vaccinated to UK standards, up to date with flea and worm treatments and has had a negative UK brucellosis test. She is not spayed as she is far too young and this will need to be done three months after her first season. If you have room in your heart and home for this stunning little love bug please pop on to our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption fee apply....Thank you!

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Mr Bean

Mr Bean is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Home Requirements An experienced owner Mr Bean is looking for an understanding, experienced owner who have had anxious cats before. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or door and will need to be kept company for most of the day, especially whilst he settles in. Mr Bean is looking for an adult only home where he will be the only pet. Mr Bean is a lovely but anxious boy who can take time making new friends. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like and can have a feisty side if his boundaries aren’t respected. For this reason, he wouldn’t be suitable to live with children and requires an understanding owner who can see when he starts to become over stimulated. Once he learns to trust you, Mr Bean will show you his loving and cuddly side and he particularly likes rolling around on your lap or getting head scratches. He can be quite demanding and vocal when he wants something whether that be food or attention so his new owner will need to be prepared for this! He enjoys puzzle feeders or watching the world go by from the top of his climbing tower and is a keen explorer so would love access outdoors so he has plenty of space to roam. Mr Bean has had treatment for his skin during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Florence

Florence is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Children Florence is looking for an owner who have had a cat before and can keep her company for some of the day. She would like easy access outdoors via a door or window so she can explore. Florence needs to be the only pet but may be able to live with older cat savvy children. Florence is a real sweetheart who definitely thinks she should be treated like the princess that she is. She is very friendly and loves nothing more than being given a good ear or chin scratch and she enjoys being brushed. She is playful and enjoys chasing after her feather toy every so often but her favourite thing to do is lounge in her comfy bed. Florence’s love for food has allowed her to gain a few extra pounds in the past so her new owner will need to be mindful of this and keep her waistline trim.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - DJ

DJ is described as a Lurcher. Can live with Teenagers DJ is looking for an owner who can keep him company for some of the day whilst he settles in. He may be able to live with teenagers and can have doggy friends of similar size but would like to be the only pet in the home. DJ is a handsome, laid back lad who will make a fantastic addition to his new family. He may be a bigger boy but really, he is a kind soul who is friendly with everyone who comes to say hello to him and he would happily place himself on your lap for lots of cuddles and fussing. He is a dream on the lead and enjoys his walks down to the beach or running around our paddocks for zoomies or tennis ball chasing. DJ has made doggy friends similar to his size that he is happy to walk alongside but he can be worried by dogs who run up to him unannounced so his new owner will need to be mindful of this. He is very clever and easy to train as he is so motivated by his food! He is very much a lurcher and after a good walk, can be found happily snoozing in his bed or sunbathing on warm days. DJ has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Scout

Scout is described as a Jack Russell Terrier. Can live with Dogs Scout is looking for an owner who have preferably dealt with nervous dogs before. He will need company for some of the day whilst he settles in and access to his own private garden. Scout is looking for an adult only home but may be able to live with a female dog depending on introductions. Scout is a sweet wee boy who can be nervous of new people to begin with and needs time to make friends. He loves a tasty biscuit which helps him warm up and will happily show off a trick or two for his reward for being brave. He also really enjoys his enrichment sessions, particularly a tasty filled kong or a likimat which will also help him gain confidence whilst he settles in. He enjoys his walks, is playful and loves running around our paddocks chasing after a squeaky toy. Scout can be wary of some dogs but is okay with most of the small dogs he has met so whilst it isn’t a necessity for him to live with another dog, if he was to live with one, it would have to be a female. It has been a long road for Scout, and we are extremely grateful to those who supported us so we could get him to where he is today. He deserves the most loving home he could ever wish for. Scout has had surgery on his knees during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Lola

Lola is described as a yellow Lab cross Poodle. Lola – The perfect blend of fun and love! Meet Lola – a fun-loving Poodle x Lab with plenty of personality! She’s been great with children (from toddlers to 10-year-olds) and has been known to get along with other pets like dogs and rabbits however, we don't know how she would be with cats. Lola is housetrained but isn’t a fan of being left alone for long—she tends to get stressed and bark. Lola is always up for an adventure and loves her walks, though she can be a bit strong on the lead and her recall still needs some work. She’s not a fan of busy roads and can be reactive around heavy traffic, so quieter walking routes would suit her best. Lola loves a good grooming session, although car rides aren’t her thing. If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate companion who’ll keep life interesting, Lola might be just the one for you! History Lola was handed into the centre for rehoming due to a change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Our gorgeous girl Lola is looking for a steady home where she can settle into a routine. She really does not like to be left alone and can get quite stressed so having someone around most of the day is a must. While Lola has previously lived with young children, we've found that she thrives best in a calmer environment and would be better suited to a home with older children who can respect her space. Lola can be selective with other dogs—some she gets along with, others not so much—so careful introductions are a must. She’s also quite the escape artist, so a secure garden and vigilant supervision are essential. Lola needs a calm home that can teach her that the world is not as scary as she sometimes thinks it is. This girl is the sweetest and she just loves cuddles and spending time with the staff and volunteers here at the centre, and she has definitely worked her way into our hearts. Could you let her work her way into your heart too? Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Lola simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Reggie

Reggie is described as a tan and white Fox Hound. Our Remarkable Reggie is looking for some stability in his life! This young lad is full of so much energy and just loves nothing more than zooming around our paddock with his friends! He is a sweet boy who can be a little shy in new sutuations but his daft, fun side soon comes out once he feels comfortable. History This handsome boy was one of a litter of 13 who was born here at the centre last year. Unfortunately he is now back with us looking for an active family who would love to welcome this handsome lad into their home. Re-homing Criteria Reggie loves to be out and about. We need a family that are willing to carry on with his training as he is so clever and just wants to please. A fully secure garden is a must with fencing of 6 foot to keep him safe and secure while in his own space. Due to his size and training needs we are looking for families with children over the age of 12 years. Reggie would love to live with another dog, we do not know what he would be like with cats but we do know he is great around horses! Reggie is a breed that has energy to burn, we can see him loving the outdoor lifestyle. Camping, hiking, milling around the stable yard and joining you on countryside hacks- he is not an urban dog and will never really enjoy that lifestyle. Do you need a running companion, someone to hike up that Munroe with ... our Reggie could be the one! ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW
