This lad is desperately looking for his new home and a family to spend his time with. Quill is looking for a home where he can be the only pet, and can live with teenagers aged over 16. He will need multiple meets at the centre with his new owners before he is sent to his new home. The centre said: “Quill is a lovely boy who needs an understanding home to help build his confidence. Once he knows you he enjoys a fuss and would thrive in a home who could gently show him a bit more of the world.”

Toby, Labrador

Peggy is on the lookout for her perfect forever home after coming to the centre through no fault of her own. She suffers with separation anxiety so her new family will need to be around often to help her cope and overcome this. Peggy can live with children aged over eight, and potentially live with another neutered dog depending on a successful dog mix here at the centre. She will need regular grooming to maintain her coat.
