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. If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, or want to find out how to support the charity, visit the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home website or call 0131 669 5331.
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
