Clyde at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Brindle White Staffie who is age 4 years

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Clyde is a nervous boy who has always found meeting new people very stressful. We have been doing lots of work on building his confidence, and as long as the new people he meets have food to distract him, he is much better and finds the process much less stressful. He didn’t have any socialisation with other dogs before he came to stay with us, but he is now confident to walk past dogs when he is out for walks on his lead. He is very energetic and loves to be on the go, he enjoys getting out for long walks, and likes to burn off some energy while chasing around after his toys. He is looking for a quieter home, without children, where he can be the only dog. He needs an active owner who will enjoy walking as much as he does, and who is dedicated to continuing his work on his socialisation skills and confidence building.

Jax at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Black and White Lab/Staffie who is age 2.5 years

Not Good With Children

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Jax is a nervous boy who can find meeting new people a little frightening at first, but once he gets to know them he is very affectionate and likes being made a fuss of. He has lots of love to give his new owner and would make a fabulous companion. He is looking for an experienced owner who is prepared to carry on with his training and help him gain some confidence. Jax has lots of energy and likes to keep active, going for long walks or running around in our paddock area. He loves having a play with his toys, especially his favourite squeaky teddy. He would be suited to a home without children.

Leo at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Brindle White Staffie Cross who is age 5 years

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Leo is a sweet boy with an affectionate nature, who would love to find a person of his own to bond with. He is currently working on his training and socialisation, so needs an owner who has the time and dedication to carry on with this. He has lots of energy and likes to keep himself active, going for walks, playing and running around with his toys. He would prefer a quieter home, where he will be the only pet, and may suit living with older teenagers.

Magic at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Staffie Cross

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Magic is a bit shy around new people, so he is looking for an understanding owner who will be prepared to visit him until he feels ready to leave us. He will need to continue to work on building his confidence when he is in his new home. He is such a loving boy with the people that he trusts, and he loves having human company, so he will make a fantastic companion for the right person. He loves getting a bum rub or a good neck scratch, and he is always eager to work on his training so he can get tasty treats as a reward. Magic does react badly around some other dogs, although not all, and this is an area he continues to work on. His new owner will need the experience to help him work on his socialisation skills. He would suit living with teenagers in a home where he is the only pet.

Loki at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Fawn Lurcher who is age 8 years

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Loki is a sweet natured boy who is always happy. He can be a little shy around new people but is quick to make friends when offered a little bit of his favourite dried liver treat, or a play with a squeaky toy. He’s quite a quiet boy who enjoys his own space and will take himself to bed for a little chill time. He likes playing with toys and loves running around in our paddock, especially when he persuades the staff with a little cheeky growl to chase him around. He’s not too sure of other dogs and will need to work his doggy socialisation, so he needs an experienced owner who can carry on with his training. Loki would want to chase any cats or small furry animals in his home, so he would be better suited to being an only pet. He would suit living with a family with teenaged children, and is sure to make a lovely companion.

Coco at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Female Black Tan Alsatian/Rottweiler who is age 1 year

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Coco is an enthusiastic girl who is very playful and fun loving. She loves running around on our paddock and likes chasing after a squeaky toy. She can be mouthy when she’s over excited and is working on this during her training sessions. She is also shy around new people, and can be especially wary around men, so she needs an owner who is willing to carry on her training and work on her socialisation skills. She hasn’t had any previous dog socialisation, and this is an area she will need to continue working on. Coco will need a dedicated owner but she is a lovely girl who will make a very rewarding pet. She would need to be the only dog in her home, and may suit living with teenaged kids.

Diesel at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male White Cross English Bull Terrier who is age 3.5 years

Not Good With Other Pets

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Diesel is a fantastic boy who loves people, he is always happy to make new friends and get made a fuss of. He is a comical lad who bounces around our paddock and then throws himself on the ground for a good roll around in the grass. He loves playing with his toys and he loves his food too. Diesel has had a fair bit of training whilst he’s been here, he has shown us what an intelligent boy he is, and he is always eager to please. He is now muzzle trained and walks well on a head collar, which has massively helped with his dog reactivity. It is vital that he continues this training in his new home. He will need an experienced owner who is willing to invest the time in his training, but Diesel has bags of potential and will be a very rewarding pet. He will need to be the only pet in his new home and would suit living with teenaged children.

Comet at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Black and Tan Cross Collie/German Shepherd who is age 3 years

Not Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Comet is a very nervous boy who is fearful of everything, so needs a calm and dedicated owner, preferably with experience with nervous dogs, who is willing to commit to long term training and confidence building. He is very loving and playful when around people that he knows, and enjoys getting his ears scratched or any kind of human contact. He does need to learn some manners and because he pulls on the lead he will need an owner who is strong enough to walk him, but he does love his treats so he is always keen to work on his training. He would suit being the only pet in an adult only home.

Herbie at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

A Male Black and White Short Haired Domestic who is age 6 years

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Herbie is a nervous boy who is looking for an understanding owner who can help him build some much needed confidence. When he gets to know you he can be very affectionate, but this is definitely on his terms as he can be feisty and will let you know if he’s had enough of you. He enjoys spending time in his comfortable bed but is always happy to come out for a roll and play around in some catnip. He is very food motivated and loves dinner time and getting as many treats as he can. He will need access to a garden so he can go outside to explore, and needs a home without children where he will be the only cat.
