Stray Pets Rescue Club: could these adorable pooches find a home before Christmas?

The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly profile of animals in and around the Harrogate district, searching for their forever family home. This month, Poppy, Jake, Stanley and Doughnut are hoping they’ll have met someone to love them before Christmas.

Poppy

Age: 7 years old

Poppy’s story: Poppy has been living at Miss Mollie’s Rescue for around 5 years. Since being rescued from Romania, she was incredibly nervous, but was comfortable living in a house with the other dogs. She is currently unhappy in boarding kennels, and in desperate need of a foster carer.

Temperament: She is an affectionate dog once she gets to know you, and loves her home comforts, walks, and being around other dogs.

Ideal home: Poppy needs an owner with lots of patience who has experience with nervous dogs. She can live with cats and dogs in an adult home. Fostering Poppy means there is no need for an adoption donation, and Miss Mollie’s can help with any problems that may come up.

If you could help Poppy feel safe in a loving home, get in touch with Miss Mollie’s Rescue. 

Jake

Age: 7

Jake’s story: Jake has had a very unsettled life to date. He was originally handed over to Dogs Trust in 2015 when he was just one year old, due to his owners’ change of work commitments. He was rehomed in 2015 until 2019 when he was returned again after a change in personal circumstance for his owner.

Temperament: Jake is the sweetest and most loving boy. All his handlers adore him and can often be found in his kennel giving him extra cuddles. He is very happy when he is curled up on the sofa with a human friend.

Ideal home: His unsettled life has led to some anxieties, so Jake has been working on a special training programme which has worked brilliantly to build his confidence with new people. Jake needs an adult-only home with no children or visiting children and no other pets.

If you have room on your sofa for Jake, visit Dogs Trust Leeds.

Stanley & Doughnut


Age: 6 & 10

Stanley & Doughnut’s story: This loveable pair came to the RSPCA when their previous owner was moving and could not take them with her. Stanley (Jack Russell) and Doughnut (Beagle x) are very bonded to each other so will need adopters who will take them together.

Temperament: Both Stanley and Doughnut are such sociable boys who are eager to say hello to everyone who are willing to stop and see them. They love walks and human attention and will sit and get as much fuss and attention as they can possibly get. Stanley and Doughnut both love their food and snuggling up after a snack!

Ideal home: Stanley and Doughnut are suitable to live with other dogs, cats and children aged 6 years and over. They will need adopters who are happy to take them out for nice and interesting walks and adventures, but they can be left alone for short periods.

If Stanley and Doughnut could join your family, contact RSPCA York, Harrogate and District branch.

Stray Pets Rescue Club: Roman, Buddy and Billy want to find love this Valentine’s Day

The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly pet profile of animals in desperate need of a loving home. Could you help these loveable dogs Roman, Buddy or Billy? 

Roman


Age: Approx. 10

Roman’s story: Roman currently lives at Miss Mollie’s Rescue, but before arriving he had been terrified by a Romanian dog catcher’s pole.

Temperament: Roman interacts with people and is a lovely boy to cuddle and brush.

Ideal home: Roman needs an experienced adult home with a garden, so he can explore and build his confidence with his new family. With small steps, he will get used to being handled with love, treats and praise and will be able to forget his past life and start enjoying walks.

To find out more about Roman and the adoption process, visit Miss Mollie’s Rescue

Buddy


Age: 13

Buddy’s story: Buddy is a very sweet Jack Russell Terrier who will need to live in an adult home as the only pet, so he can get all the attention to himself. He has a heart murmur and his eyesight isn’t the best, but he loves walks, preferably when the weather is nice.

Temperament: Buddy is housetrained and loves snuggles, but on his own terms. He prefers a quieter environment.

Ideal home: Buddy will need a home with a private, enclosed garden. Buddy is currently staying in a foster home. Due to current restrictions, he can’t go to his forever home just yet, but you can contact the rehoming centre to register your interest. When restrictions ease and if you are a suitable match, you will be able to discuss Buddy with his carers at the centre.

To find out more about Buddy and the adoption process, visit Dogs Trust Leeds.

Billy


Age: 2

Billy’s story: Billy was included in the Stray Pets Rescue Club in December last year. His Christmas wish of finding a forever home sadly wasn’t granted, but could you help him find true love in time for Valentine’s Day?

Temperament: Billy is a very loving and attentive dog when he is with you, but he is fearful of other dogs which he shows by barking. Once he has been introduced to dogs, he then just wants to play!

Ideal home: Billy needs a nice secure garden and an owner who can give him lots of walking and training. He may need some time to bond, but once he has he follows guidance and is learning that people are not scary. He has not met any cats before, so needs a cat-free home.
