REHOMING ‘TAILS’

FLYNN

Beautiful Flynn recently celebrated his eighth rehoming anniversary. He was rehomed from our Glasgow centre, after his owners could no longer care for him. Flynn was between one and two years old when he came in to our care, and had not received the basic socialisation and training that dogs need. This led him to be extremely reactive.

Eight years on Flynn is an extremely lovable and happy dog in his forever home. He is a fantastic companion in the house and loves meeting visitors. He would still rather have his space from other dogs when he is out and about on his walks, but has progressed so much that he now lives happily with another canine friend.

NOVA

Nova came to our Lanarkshire centre after she was left unattended at a property for several days. She needed to spend the night at the vets before coming in to our care, as she was trembling and extremely hypothermic. Her temperature was so low that it didn’t read on the vet’s thermometer. She was immediately started on warm fluids and given small feeds little and often. Nova was fostered by one of our animal care assistants, and her start in life didn’t affect her. From the get go she acted like any other kitten and loved to play and climb.

After growing in confidence in her foster home, Nova found a loving forever home where she is spoilt rotten, and she even has another feline friend to keep her company.

LAB PUPS

HAMMY

Hammy the snake was recently rehomed from our Caithness centre after a whopping 1208 days in our care! He originally came to us after his owner had a change in circumstance and could no longer care for him. He spent time at four of our centres to try and give him the best chance at finding his forever home.

He was quite grumpy for a long time after his arrival and would strike at staff but after regular handling by our dedicated team he is now much happier when being handled. He enjoys having time out of his vivarium, and loves to slither around in the grass and soak up the sun on hot days.

Three Labrador puppies came in to the care of our Glasgow centre after they were found abandoned at the side of a road in Renfrew. On arrival the pups were passing blood and one in particular looked more lethargic than the others.

After running tests, it was confirmed that they all had parvovirus. We also received information that someone had bought a pup from the same litter that had sadly died from the virus, so it is believed that they were dumped by a low-welfare dealer due to having symptoms. Heartbreakingly, despite the best efforts of our animal care assistants and vets we sadly lost the one of the pups to the illness.

After three weeks in our care we are delighted to report that the other two made a full recovery and have now found loving new homes.
