Summer is looking for an owner who has owned a cat before and can keep her company for some of the day whilst she settles in. She would like access to a garden so she can explore when she feels ready. Summer has to be the only pet and may be able to live older children that are cat savvy.
Summer is a confident and outgoing girl with a lovely nature. She does have an affectionate side however, like most cats, she will let you know when she is done with human attention, so her new owners need to respect when she has had enough. She does enjoy having a cosy bed to curl up into for snoozing but is also playful and enjoys any toy that she can get her paws onto. Summer LOVES her food who eagerly awaits mealtimes and, as she is a clever girl, thrives from enrichment or puzzle games. She will be a lot of fun to have around in her new home.
During her stay, our vet has discovered that Summer has a heart murmur. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Kevin is looking for someone who has owned a cat with a nervous nature before. He would like company for part of the day and needs direct access to the outdoors via a cat flap. Kevin needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Kevin is a very nervous boy who will take some time to settle into his new home. He will let you know when he isn’t happy, so needs a very patient and understanding owner who will give him the space he needs. He will want plenty of hiding places such as an igloo bed or a cat tower where he can go when he is feeling stressed. He loves his food, especially licky treats, which is a great aid in gaining his trust. Underneath his worries, Kevin is a sweet boy who is just very sad at the moment. He needs a lot of TLC in a calm and loving home with a committed owner.

Benji is looking for an active owner who have had a dog before. He needs access to his own private garden and someone to keep him company for some of the day until he settles in. Benji may be able to live with high school aged children but would like the be the only pet.
Benji is a friendly boy with one of the best hair-do’s we have seen! He is a typical spaniel who loves a tennis ball and will happily play with it all day if given the chance but he doesn’t always want to share his toys so needs an understanding owner who will respect his boundaries. He is an affectionate lad and enjoys having a cuddle beside you on the couch. Benji is partial to a treat, however, this has allowed him to gain a few extra pounds in the past! He has been working hard on losing weight and will greatly benefit from having an active owner who will keep his waistline trim and take him on lots of different adventures. He loves going for walks especially if there are interesting smells to investigate and may enjoy doing scent work. Benji doesn’t mind other dogs out and about but tends to ignore them and much prefers to do his own thing.
Benji has been doing some extra training with the Paws for Progress team in their rescue dog training programme at HMYOI Polmont. HMP & YOI Polmont | Paws for Progress

Rocco is looking for an experienced and active owner who has had a large strong dog in the past. He would like access to his own private garden so he can enjoy some time outdoors in a safe area, and will need a home where he will have a company most of the time. Rocco may be able to live with older teenagers but needs to be the only pet in his home.
Rocco is a sweet and loving boy with the most beautiful smiley face. He has a lot of love to give and is very affectionate with those he knows best and thinks he is a big lap dog at times! He can be nervous, especially around new people and unknown dogs, so will require a dedicated owner who can commit to the continuing work on his socialisation and basic training. Rocco is so eager to please; he is working very hard on his good manners and loves his training sessions, particularly when they involve him getting tasty treats.
He is full of energy and enjoys running around the paddock chasing a ball or getting the sand in between his toes on the beach. He would thoroughly enjoy hill walking where he can put his nose to good use, and he loves doing enrichment games that involve treats or a squeaky toy. Whilst Rocco can make doggy friends when introductions are managed well, he has shown some reactivity to other dogs in the past.
Rocco may need some work because he’s not had the best start, but he will bring a lot of joy in his new home and will be a very rewarding pet for a committed owner.

Tess is looking for an experienced and active owner who understand nervous dogs. She will need access to her own secure, private garden so she can still enjoy the outdoors safely. Tess requires an adult only home and needs to live with a confident dog.
Tess is very nervous around people she does not know, and will need to meet her new family a few times before she feels comfortable enough to go home with them. She is a lot more relaxed and is more willing to interact with new people when with another dog, so she will need to live with a calm, sociable, and confident dog who can help her feel at more at ease.
Tess needs very patient and understanding owners who will take their time with her and help her grow in confidence, at a pace she is comfortable with.
She is an energetic girl who can become bored quite easily, so she will require a lot of physical and mental stimulation to keep her happy. She also loves her walks and, in true lab style, enjoys a dip in the water. Her favourite game is fetch and she would happily chase a tennis ball all day if given the chance!
Underneath her worries, there is a truly wonderful dog who, with time and patience, is sure to flourish in her new home.

Leonardo is looking for someone who has owned a dog before and can keep him company for at least part of the day, especially whilst he settles in. He may be able to live with older teenagers and must be the only pet.
Leonardo can be a shy boy when faced with new people and situations, but with a little patience and understanding he comes around quickly. The key to Leonardo’s heart is food, so any tasty treat you have to offer will help him make friends. He has a laid back, quiet nature and can be affectionate at times with those he knows.
He is a typical lurcher who has zoomies around the paddocks chasing a tennis ball, but then is quite content and happy to snooze the day away in a comfy bed.
Leonardo picks and chooses his doggy friends and is happy to walk alongside calm dogs but he can be vocal towards some, so his new owner will need to manage his introductions with other dogs. He is easily distracted by treats though, so this is always a good motivator for him to continue walking, even when he is feeling uncomfortable.
With the right owner, Leonardo is sure to be a very rewarding pet. Could you be the right owner for him?

She needs a home in a quiet, more rural location away from the city, and requires a home with a secure and private garden where she can decompress when needed.
