Fabulous Flynn!
Meet Flynn — a happy, energetic boy who is every inch the classic spaniel! Always smiling and full of enthusiasm, Flynn loves people and is guaranteed to brighten your day.
He’s a very active lad who thrives on getting outdoors and loves nothing more than heading out for long adventures. Flynn was house-trained in his previous home and keeps his kennel clean here. As well as physical exercise, Flynn needs plenty of mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind occupied.
History
Flynn was originally rehomed from us but was sadly returned due to behavioural challenges in the home.
Re-homing Criteria
Flynn has been assessed by a behaviourist, and his new family must be willing to follow a guidance plan that will be provided. Flynn uses toys to soothe his anxiety and should always have access to safe toys in the home. It is very important that toys or items are never forcibly taken from him. A calm, gentle approach to handling is essential to help Flynn feel safe and supported, and to prevent any anxiety-related behaviours.
Flynn is looking for a calm, patient, and experienced home. Ideally, his new family will have experience with working spaniels or high-energy breeds. Flynn would need a secure garden where he can safely explore and play. He could live with another friendly dog after successful introductions at the centre. We do not know how Flynn would respond to cats. Due to his behavioural needs, we are looking for a child-free home.
Flynn needs stability, patience, and understanding to continue building his confidence. His ideal home will be quiet, structured, and filled with love. Flynn is a wonderful, clever, and affectionate dog who is ready for his second chance — could that be with you?

All energy, all love – Jack’s the full package!
Jack is a high-energy Border Collie who thrives on activity and stimulation. He has previously lived with older children and teenagers and could happily do so again in the right home. Jack has also lived with cats and can be playful indoors, but he may chase outdoors, so any resident cat would need to be confident and dog-savvy. On the lead, Jack can be reactive to other dogs, but he has enjoyed positive off-lead interactions with dogs at the centre. He is housetrained, travels well in the car, and is comfortable being left alone for a few hours.
History
Jack was handed into the centre due to a change in his owners’ circumstances.
Re-homing Criteria
Jack can be nervous when meeting new people, particularly men, and will need a calm, patient owner willing to take the time to build his confidence. He could live with older children or teens, a confident, dog-savvy cat, and possibly another friendly dog with careful introductions. Jack requires an active, breed-experienced home—ideally with someone who enjoys hiking, agility, or flyball. A secure garden is essential, as he tends to chase when off-lead and still needs work on his recall.
His new family must be committed to supporting him with his lead reactivity and helping him feel more at ease around strangers.
Jack has so much potential – he just needs the right person to help him shine!

Shy at first, but a superstar in the making!
Rex is a gentle, sensitive soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is very anxious when meeting new people and needs time and patience to settle in. However, once he begins to trust, he shows a clear eagerness to please and responds well to a gentle, reassuring approach. Rex enjoys the company of other dogs and may benefit from having a calm canine companion to help him build confidence. He is housetrained but has lived outdoors in a kennel, so he will likely need some refresher training. Car travel is new to him, but he coped well in a crate on his trip to the vet. Rex is still learning to walk on a lead and will need continued support with recall and basic training.
History
Rex was handed in for rehoming after showing predatory behaviour towards chickens and being nervous around young children.
Re-homing Criteria
Rex needs a quiet, rural home where he can feel safe and supported. Due to his nervous nature, he can be flighty and has been known to be an escape artist, so a secure garden is essential. He may benefit from living with an older, confident dog who can offer reassurance and guidance. Although he has lived with cats before, care must be taken around other small animals as he has shown some predatory instincts. As Rex has been nervous around young children, we would only consider homes with teenagers who are able to respect his space and understand his need for a calm environment. Rex needs a patient and experienced owner who can offer consistent, positive training and help him gain confidence at his own pace.
It may take time for Rex to come out of his shell but with the right guidance, Rex has the potential to become the most loyal and loving companion. If you can offer him the calm, quiet, secure home he deserves, please get in touch.

Kevin is 9 years old and is looking for an indoor home.
Kevin had quite a difficult start in life - he has been through a couple of homes and the recent unfortunate circumstances of his last home meant he had to come into the shelter.
Kevin loves company - he enjoys being petted, brushed and played with. He would love to be in a home where people can spend a lot of time with him. We think he would be best suited as the only pet with no children.
Kevin has had some stress cystitis in the past, but thankfully this has been well controlled with diet so far.
If you would like to meet Kevin and/or discuss our adoption process, please phone us on 0131 554 5521 or email enquiries@edinburghcatprotection.org.uk

OLIVER
Male
6 years
Oliver has sadly been returned to our care, after almost 4 years in a home, through absolutely no fault of his own (change of circumstances).
He is 6 years old, quite small for a boy and is a friendly, happy boy. Ideally we want his stay in kennels to be as short as possible as he has been used to his home comforts.
Oliver is fine with other greyhounds and is trainable to be around other breeds.
He really deserves another chance.

Cleo is looking for an experienced cat owner who can keep her company for some of the day. She would be best suited to a home out of the city with easy access outdoors so she can venture outside whenever she wants to. She could potentially live with older children but would like to be the only pet in the home.
Cleo is a happy girl with a sweet nature who enjoys human company where she can be made a fuss of. She is energetic and likes playing with her toys but particularly enjoys exploring the outdoors so would like plenty of space to roam. After a day of fun antics, she loves nothing more than curling up for a snooze in her comfy bed. Cleo has a beautiful coat which her new owner will need to be mindful of about the regular grooming she will require to keep her looking like the pretty cat that she is. With the right home, she is sure to make a lovely addition to the family.
Cleo does have some health issues which will be discussed further with successful applicants.

Dogs
Bear is looking for an owner who have had big dogs before and can continue his basic training. He would like access to a garden, so he has another space to run around in. He may be able to live with high school aged children who are dog savvy and possibly another dog who won’t be worried by his size.
Bear is truly a super friendly, lovable goof ball who loves saying to hello to everyone he meets. He loves human company so much that he can find it difficult being on his own so his new owner will have to be willing to work on gradually building up his leaving hours over time. He does not realise his own size and can be boisterous at times so would be best suited to an owner who are confident in handling large dogs and are committed to working on his basic training to help him become a well-mannered, polite boy. He is full of energy, enjoys long walks and loves running around our paddocks with a soft toy in his mouth.
Bear does play nicely with other dogs most of the time but can sometimes get a bit over the top. He may be able to live with another dog who matches his energy pending a successful introduction.

Teddy is looking for an experienced and active owner who have an understanding of nervous dogs. He would like access to his own private garden so he has his own safe space to enjoy the outdoors, and he will need to be kept company all day. Teddy is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Teddy is a bit of a sensitive soul but, with time and patience, has the potential to make a fantastic companion. He lacks in confidence when it comes to saying hello to new people and is still currently undergoing training so his new owners must be prepared to visit him at the Home a few times to do some training sessions before he is ready to leave.
Teddy is extremely affectionate and loving once he knows you. He is loyal to his favourite people and is very eager to please, particularly when you have a tasty bit of cheese or hot dog on offer. He is full of energy who loves running around chasing after his toys and is known to get the zoomies when you take him to the beach so he will need to be kept active, so he doesn’t become bored. Teddy does get on with other dogs, and he will benefit having confident dog walking buddies to go out with, but he can be a bit much for some so is best suited as an only pet so his new owners can focus on him.

Arlo and Poppy are looking for a home together with an owner who are committed to working on their basic training and they will need to be kept company all day whilst they settle in. They are looking to be the only pets in the home but may be able to live with older children.
Arlo and Poppy are an adorable duo who can be a little shy to begin with when meeting new people but are quick to come around. They are both very much lap dogs and would happily curl up for all the affection and loving they deserve. They do enjoy human company and can struggle being left alone so would like an understanding owner who have the patience to gradually build up their leaving hours over time. They are energetic, playful and love going for their walks together or alongside other doggy friends. They will no doubt make wonderful additions to their new family.
Arlo has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Rocky has been matched to several applicants now which means we are no longer accepting new interest for him.
Rocky is looking for an active owner who has owned a dog before and can keep him company most of the day until he settles into his new home. He may suit living with older dog savvy teens and is looking to be the only pet in his home.
Rocky is a lovely boy who can be wary of new people but soon comes round with a tasty treat. He can be very food motivated but loves it so much that he has previously shown that he isn’t always keen to share so will need an understanding owner who can manage this. He’s full of energy and loves to go on walks to the beach where he can dip his paws in the water or do lots of sniffing. He would make an excellent running partner so would thrive with an active owner. Whilst Rocky needs to be the only pet, if introductions are done properly, he does have some doggy pals that he enjoys going out with.
Rocky has had some veterinary treatment whilst with us, more information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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.

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.

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.
