Handsome Ralf needs a new home

He can get very excited around other dogs but is learning distraction techniques. His ideal home would continue with his training and socialisation, giving him the chance to get the attention he craves but for all the right reasons.

He does like children but not too young as his tail is lethal.

Lucy, Esme and Ella are three small dogs. Lucy is mum and around five years old. She is the confident one of the three and is a Jack Russell type.

Esme is around a year old and a rough-coated little cross; she wants to be friends but is taking a little while to trust.

Elle, the youngest at eight months old and a brown little cross, is the most timid of the three.

We do know the two younger ones haven’t had a lot of socialisation in their lives except around the other dogs in the house. We’d like to find them individual homes with another confident, easy-going dog, to teach them the ropes. They are all very loving given time and are going to make great dogs given the right input.

We thought Dotty and Gilda (one black-and-white, one white-and-black) cats, around six months old, had a home to go to but sadly this has fallen through. They are the nicest pair, affectionate and always ready for a chat. They came from a multi-cat household (and when we say multi, think over 50) so we think it is right to keep them together.

The kittens who arrived last week are all feeling so much better now they no longer have fleas. They had so many worms we are just grateful they are now all sorted.

We remember too vividly almost losing a youngster because they were so overwhelmed with worms. The severity of not treating our pets should not be underestimated. Your vet will ensure it is the correct treatment and isn’t something to be skimped on.
