These rescue dogs and cats are looking for a second chance at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. Rescuers at the shelter in Seafield Road have described each pet’s personality, and the ideal owner who would give them the best possible loving home they truly deserve.

. Bambi
Three-year-old cockapoo Bambi is a sweet girl who needs an experienced person who can manage her sometimes challenging behaviour. Being an anxious dog, Bambi can be easily overwhelmed and will react when feeling pressured. When she is with people she has built a bond with, Bambi is a happy and affectionate girl who loves playing with her toys and getting tasty treats. She is very clever and loves her training sessions, and she always enjoys enrichment time. She is an energetic dog who loves taking long sniffy walks in quiet areas and would enjoy having an owner who can be active with her. Photo: EDCH
. Graham
Graham the five-year-old lurcher is a very sweet and loving boy who unfortunately gets easily overwhelmed when he starts to feel anxious. He needs an understanding owner who lives in a quiet area and can walk him in quiet spaces which are away from traffic. He is not keen on other dogs so will need to have space away from them while he learns to overcome his fears. Graham has the potential to be a very rewarding and loyal pet for the right owner.

. Tia
Tia the six-year-old Border Collie is a sweet girl who is very friendly, and loves being fussed by everyone that she meets. She is very loving and affectionate and thinks she should be allowed to be a lap dog, so would love to be able to snuggle up on the sofa with someone. Tia unfortunately has a health condition which limits the amount of exercise she can have, so she will need shorter walks, plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation. Photo: EDCH
5. Flyod
Flyod the two-year-old lurcher is a very sweet boy who is always happily wagging his tail. He is outgoing and very friendly, and loves being fussed over or just being around people. He has a lot of energy so he loves going for long walks and enjoys burning off some energy while zooming around. He would benefit by having an active owner who will enjoy being energetic with him. He has made some doggy friends while staying at the shelter, and could potentially live with another dog. Photo: EDCH
6. Bailey
Bailey the four-year-old staffie is an energetic boy who needs a lot of stimulation, through both mental enrichment and plenty of exercise. He can be a bit boisterous when he gets excited, and he will need to continue his training with his new owner. He is friendly and affectionate boy who enjoys playing with his toys, especially his large tug toy. Bailey has shown some reactivity to dogs in the past, this will need to be managed by his new owners. Photo: EDCH
7. Kylo
Kylo the nine-year-old German shepherd collie cross is a nervous boy who will require several visits to become comfortable with his new owners, and more visits to build up a trust with them. When he gets to know you he is very loving and is sure to be a great companion for the right people. He is wary around other dogs and will sometimes bark at passing bikes, but he has been working very hard in his training sessions and is very eager to please. He deserves the chance to enjoy his golden years in a happy and loving home, and he is sure to be a very rewarding pet and bring a lot of joy to his new owners. Photo: EDCH
8. Peter
Peter the 11-year-old lurcher is a lovely old boy who deserves to spend his golden years in a loving home where he can chill out and relax. He can be very affectionate and cuddly, and even thinks he should be a lap dog at times. He has his excitable moments and does sometimes love his soft toys into literal pieces, but he more often likes to spend time enjoying a comfy and quiet spot. Peter can be reactive around other dogs and doesn’t want to spend time around them, so he would benefit by having an owner who has some knowledge of dog reactivity. Photo: EDCH
