Here is a selection of animals from the Ashley Heath Animal Centre in Dorset who are looking for their forever home.
Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.
A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
If you wanted to donate to the Ashley Heath Animal Centre to support their work you can do so at their website.
Maisie
Gender - Female
Age - Eight years old
Breed - Springer Spaniel crossbreed
Colour - Brown and White
If you want to adopt Maisie you can view their full profile here.
Maisie is a dog who is seeking out a forever home after coming into the RSPCA through no fault of their own.
She was being mistreated so can be quite timid in certain situations, but would still make a very sweet companion.
Additionally, she may be able to cope with being left at home for a few hours once settled in and she appears to be toilet trained.
Romeo
Gender - Male
Age - 10 years old
Breed - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Colour - Brindle/White
If you want to adopt Romeo you can view their full profile here.
Romeo came into the care of Ashley Heath Animal Centre as his welfare needs were not being met by his previous owner.
He arrived severely underweight and malnourished, but has been on a feeding plan and is returning to a more normal weight.
Due to his past, he can sometimes be a little snatchy with food and so this will need to be well managed initially, although hopefully, he will begin to learn that food will now regularly be provided to him.
Ideally, he would be the only pet in an adult-only home and with patient and understanding adopters that are around for a large portion of the day.
Lucky
Gender - Male
Age - One-year-old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Lucky you can view their full profile here.
Lucky is a cat who came into the centre due to a welfare concern and is now looking for a forever home.
He is not keen on being handled as it can make him quite stressed, but can enjoy a bit of fuss once he gets to know people.
Lucky came into the centre with another cat so he could potentially share a home with one given time and space to settle.
Additionally, he should not be rehomed within five miles of Christchurch (BH23).
Maple and Syrup
Gender - Not stated on profile
Age - Between six and 12 months old
Breed - Domestic
Colour - Ginger, white and black
If you want to adopt Maple and Syrup you can view their full profile here.
Maple and Syrup came into the RSPCA centre after sadly being found abandoned in a park together.
Both can be a little wary but they are now looking to find a forever home together.
They enjoy having a run around together and sharing their veggies in the evening.
