Name: Drizzle.
Age: 12 months.
Breed: Lurcher.
Sex: Male.
Likes: Plenty of adventures, and exciting walks.
Dislikes: Spending too much time alone.
About: The RSPCA describes Drizzle as a ‘gorgeous dog’ who ‘loves to live life to the max.’ At 12 months old, he’s still got plenty of puppy energy and exuberance – but that can mean he sometimes forgets his manners, and can be a bit boisterous, especially with other dogs.
However, he’s got bags of potential and needs experienced adopters who will be able to help him along the way and give him lots of exercise – as well as the fuss and attention he deserves.

Name: Buster.
Age: 12 years old.
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Sex: Male.
Likes: Sitting on a lap for cuddles.
Dislikes: Being left alone for long periods.
About: Don’t let his grey face fool you – Buster is 12 years fun, and still loves getting out and about on his daily walks.
Sadly, his beloved owner passed away which is how he ended up at the kennel, and he’s been having a tough time settling in. He’s affectionate with people and would benefit from joining a loving family soon.
Buster is sociable with other dogs and could live with a compatible companion after a successful meet at the centre, and he could also live with children aged 13 years and over.

Name: Henley.
Age: 5 years old.
Breed: Lurcher.
Sex: Female.
Likes: An endless supply of cuddles.
Dislikes: Being apart from her people for too long.
About: Sweet-natured Henley was cruelly thrown out of the back of a van before coming to the RSCPA, and while the culprits were never found, it hasn't dampened her shine.

Name: Cheddar.
Age: 3 years old.
Breed: Husky cross.
Sex: Male.
Likes: Hanging out with his favourite humans.
Dislikes: Being misunderstood.
About: Poor Cheddar has had a tough start to life and was brought to the shelter via an inspector who discovered his needs were not being met.
Cheddar needs will need experienced adopters who can tackle his insecurities and give him plenty of support to bring out the best in him.
Once he’s comfortable he is a very affectionate and loyal dog who will make a wonderful companion for the right person.

Name: Lady.
Age: Around 1 years old.
Breed: Dobermann/Mastiff Cross.
Sex: Female.
Likes: Being active and getting lots of exercise.
