FOLLOWING our report into relinquishment rates in Cumbria, we have worked alongside animal rescues in the area to produce a list of animals still waiting for their forever home.
Could you give one of these cats or dogs a home?
Jess
Meet lovely Jess, who is a 9 year old American Bulldog. Jess loves a cuddle and chilling in the office at the rescue centre. Jess has lived happily around children although the rescue centre are looking for an adult home or one with older children (12 plus). As an older lady, Jess will be best suited to a slightly more sedate lifestyle. She enjoys her walks and generally walks nicely on a lead.
Alfie
Meet handsome Alfie, who is a 6 year old Whippet crossed with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Alfie is an affectionate young lad who loves being around people & enjoys a cuddle on the sofa! Alf does like a quiet and calm home so a home without children is perfect for him. He could possibly be rehomed with another dogs and wants a secure garden so he can be free off his lead.
Macey
Meet Macey, she is a 3 year old Lurcher. Macey loves attention, attention, attention and is a very friendly girl. Her idea of fun is chasing cats unfortunately so she cannot live with any small furries. Her other loves in life are receiving cuddles and long sniffy walks.
