Here is a selection of animals from the Ashley Heath Animal Centre in Dorset who are looking for their forever home.
Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.
A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
If you wanted to donate to the Ashley Heath Animal Centre to support their work you can do so at their website.
Rory
Gender - Male
Age - 6 to 12 months old
Breed - Border Collie crossbreed
Colour - Black and white
If you want to adopt Rory you can view their full profile here.
Rory is described as "bouncy, playful and full of energy" by the Ashley Heath Animal Centre, and is looking for an active home as a result.
He lacks any training or lead work, can be reactive when uncertain or frustrated and will demonstrate this by barking and jumping around.
However, he is intelligent and is picking up basic training and learning to calmly socialise with other dogs.
Squeak
Gender - Male
Age - One year old
Breed - Domestic Longhair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Squeak you can view their full profile here.
Squeak arrived at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre due to a welfare concern, so he is now looking for a loving new home.
He is a little timid and can be easily spooked so a quiet home would be best for him.
Additionally, he is not keen on being handled, and he may get used to another cat once settled into his new home.
Mabel and Titch
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Bichon Frise crossbreed
Colour - White and Brown
If you want to adopt Mabel and Titch you can view their full profile here.
Mabel and Titch have been in the care of Ashley Heath Animal Centre after being part of a large welfare investigation but are now looking for a home together.
Both were very nervous at first, but have slowly grown to have some confidence, although it is expected Mabel may revert back briefly in a new environment.
Both dogs are sociable with other dogs and enjoy being fussed, brushed and clipped.
Martin
Gender - Male
Age - Three years old
Breed - Lionhead crossbreed
Colour - Agouti
If you want to adopt Martin you can view their full profile here.
Martin came into the care of the RSPCA after being found abandoned with his hutchmate at the time Aston, but after a few disagreements, he is looking to find his own place.
He will be looking to live with a neutered female, and with time and space to bond Martin will likely become a great companion for another rabbit.
Additionally, he will need continued grooming to keep his fur in good condition.
