The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly pet profile of animals in desperate need of a loving home. Could Audrey, Florence or Bill find their forever family with you?
Bill
Age: 15
Bill’s story: Bill came to the RSPCA York, Harrogate and District branch via an inspector. Sadly, Bill was found in pretty poor condition and was rushed straight to the vets where he received emergency treatment to save his life. Bill fought hard and pulled through to make a full recovery, and is now looking for the loving retirement home he deserves.
Temperament: Bill is very loving, friendly and gentle. Despite his age, Bill has lots of life in him. He loves small walks and enjoys every moment spent sniffing and saying hello to people.
Ideal home: Bill wants his happy ever after, with time to relax in the comfort of a warm loving home. He can be left alone for short periods of time, and would prefer not to live with a cat. Bill may be able to live with another dog and children over 11.
If you have a space on your sofa for Bill, visit RSPCA York, Harrogate and District.
Audrey

Age: 4
Audrey’s story: Audrey is a super sweet girl who was brought to Dogs Trust Leeds after being found straying.
Temperament: This greyhound loves being around people and enjoys plenty of gentle fuss. Audrey is fine around other similar dogs and would be able to have walking buddies once she’s been introduced to some doggy friends.
Ideal home: This sociable girl would need a secure garden to play in, and this will also help with her ongoing housetraining. She would also need patient owners who will let her get used to the new home environment, and would prefer to be the only household pet. Audrey can live with children over the age of 11.

Florence

Age: approx. 3
Florence’s story: Florence came to Miss Mollie’s from a rescue in Romania, who had found her with her puppies. Miss Mollie’s have found lovely new homes for all the puppies, but Florence had to wait a little longer to come to Harrogate as she needed extra care before she could travel.
Temperament: When she got to Miss Mollie’s Rescue, she was very shy but kept wagging her tail, not sure what to make of the volunteers. She is still a little shy but is progressing well, and she is good with all the other dogs and is sharing a kennel.
Ideal home: Florence will need an adult home with people who have experience with dogs, and have the patience and love she needs.
If Florence could be the perfect fit in your home, visit Miss Mollie’s Rescue.

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.

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.

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.
