Here is a selection of animals from the Ashley Heath Animal Centre that are looking for a forever home.
The centre near Ringwood is associated with the RSPCA in Dorset.
If you think you would be able to rehome one of them go to the Ashley Heath Animal Centre website for details.
You can also donate to the charity to help it carry on its rescue work at the same website.
Jake and Laddie
Gender – Male
Age – 3 years old (approx.)
Breed – Lurcher crossbreed
Colour – Black and white
Jake and Laddie are looking for an adult only household with understanding owners, preferably those with knowledge of the breed and nervous behaviour.
They have lived quite a sheltered life, so are still a little afraid of the outside world, but are slowly improving.
Training will need to be continued in their new home and potential owners will need to allow them to progress at their own pace and not expect too much from them too soon.
A large enclosed garden with a minimum of 6ft fencing will be required to allow these boys to explore and have a good run around as they do particularly enjoy their offlead time.

Bella
Gender - Female
Age – Two years old
Breed – Lurcher crossbreed
Colour – Tan
Bella is an affectionate dog, who enjoys lots of fuss and attention.
She does need time to get to know new dog friends, as can be reactive towards unknown dogs, but she is responding well to behavioural training at the centre.
Adopters would need to continue that training, and having an enclosed garden would also be useful.

Janice
Gender – Female
Age – Two years old
Breed – Domestic shorthair crossbreed
Colour – Black
Janice is a slightly nervous cat, but she has been building up her confidence at the centre.
She will be looking for a quiet home where she will be the only pet and not to be rehomed with children younger than 13 years.
Additionally, she suffers from a condition called gingivo-stomatitis. This means that her gums and back of her mouth can get sore and inflamed. She has had most of her teeth removed which has helped the condition and is currently on medication which is controlling the condition well. She will need to stay on medication when she is rehomed which you will need to get from your own vet.

Alfie
Gender – Male
Age – Seven years old
Breed – Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour – White/Tabby
Alfie is a timid cat who will need time to settle in a new home
Although shy, he can be won over with treats and does enjoy a fuss.
He has previously lived with other cats and is currently housed with Bernie. They can be rehomed as a pair or separately, but ideally he is looking for a home where there are existing cats.

Arlo
Gender – Male
Age – Five years old (approx.)
Breed – Cockerel
Colour – Grey/lilac point
Arlo is a typical Cockerel who when given plenty of space he is happy to do his own thing.
He is looking to rehome with Carla the Hen that he has been living with since his arrival at the centre, and to an existing flock of similar sized ladies where he will be able to roam, forage and scratch about.
He will need a chicken coop and a large enclosed area approx 12ft x 6ft or larger.
