Alice is a beautiful two-year-old Cane Corso cross. Alice loves to run around and get the zoomies, she still has that puppy nature about her and is all paws. She is a big foodie unless there are people around, then she may be more interested in them as she loves nothing more than having lots of fuss and giving kisses! She can be rehomed with children aged 11+ and needs a home with no other pets.

Meet Bruno -a two-year-old Staffie cross. Bruno loves meeting new people and being made a fuss of. He is a very placid dog in the home, loves his cuddles and human companionship but will now settle in sunny spots on his own. He is looking for a home with children of primary school age and above, and no cats. He could live with another suitable dog.

Meet adorable domestic short haired eight week old tabbies Buzz and Bandit! Usually Buzz follows Bandit and learns things from him, such as using cat flaps. He is still getting used to being handled, but does like cuddles for a short amount of time. Bandit is the cheekier and more adventurous kitten; he will be the first one to make a move into a new area and try new things. These brothers are looking for a home that can accommodate both of them. They can live with children of any age, and could live with another friendly cat who can tolerate their craziness!

Callie is a two-year-old Staffy Bull Terrier Cross. She is confident in herself and adaptable to her surroundings, despite her history of abandonment. Very little phases this sprightful young lady, she has a strong mind both in her attitude to life and in training, which she exceeds in every day. Because of Callie’s excitable nature, she would thrive in an active home with adults only and no other pets.

Meet energetic ne-year-old Howard who is a male wire-haired lurcher. He is looking for his forever family to take him on plenty of journeys and adventures. He loves zoomies but is more than happy enough to put the brakes on them if there is some treats involved! Due to his size and boisterousness when playing and running, it is best that he only goes to a home with children of a secondary school age and above.

Coco is a brave one-year-old female Labrador cross who had previously been forced to live in outdoors in extremely poor conditions. This gentle girl is a firm favourite within the centre and she loves playing. She loves other dogs, but would need to be the only pet whilst she settles and gets used to the world, as she will need work putting in. Coco does have mild hip dysplasia so adopters need to be aware of this, whilst this requires no treatment now it is likely to require medication and possible treatment in the future. She is looking for a quiet home with a secure garden, on a quiet road with no other animals but can live with children aged 16+.

She came into RSPCA care after being found as a stray but this sweet girl has since settled in very quickly in the centre and is ready to find the loving home she deserves.

Shelley can live with cat savvy children at primary school age.

She would much rather prefer toys over food at the moment and is extremely playful! Freya is looking for a loving home who can give her the exercise, as well as the cuddles and attention she needs. Freya can live with children of primary school age that are dog savvy. Freya could live with a compatible dog but no cats.
