5. Bugsy
Bugsy is a playful two-year-old (approx) Lurcher crossbreed looking for his forever home. Bugsy loves to play so is looking for a home with a spacious garden for him to have lots of fun in. He would suit an active family where he can go on lots of walks and they can match his fun-loving ways. Bugsy is an intelligent boy so needs to be stimulated and really enjoys his enrichment and toys. He is a young and bouncy boy and he came into our care as a stray so will need a patient and understanding home to help him adjust to new environment. Bugsy loves to greet people and other canine friends out on his walks. Bugsy is a playful boy so would best in either an experienced adult only home or with children over the age of 16 years who are used to the breed. He would be best as the only dog in the home and is not suited to living with cats or small furries. Bugsy can be left for short periods but does need a little help in learning that it is okay to be left. (Photo: RSPCA - https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/details/- Photo: Reader supplied
6. Kuzey
Kuzey is a 10-year-old (approx) Japanese Akita. This handsome chap is hoping his age won't get in the way of finding him that perfect home. He has sadly been in kennels for over 90 days now and is feeling very glum that no one has taken an interest in him. He is very gentle and would love nothing more than a family to call his own that can give him the good fuss he so deserves! He really is such a lovely gentle boy with so much love to give.

7. Winnie
Winnie is a 12-year-old (approx) Labrador Retriever. Winnie is a sweet girl that has come to us through no fault of her own. Despite her age she is a young pup at heart! Winnie loves to have a run around and go on her walks so will need an active home. Once settled Winnie is an excitable girl with lots of love to give. Being a Labrador Winnie loves her food, this is a brilliant tool to use for any training needs. In the previous home Winnie was good to be left, but this will need gradually building up again to get her used to her new surroundings. In the home she will need a secure garden with a minimum 5ft fence for her to play safely in. Winnie is looking for a understanding loving home, with owners who can give her time to settle. Winnie could live with children 10 years and over and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Can you offer this sweet girl her forever loving home?

8. Zukey
Zukey is an energetic and fun lovingone-year-old (approx) Boxer Cross looking for his adventurous new forever home! Zukey can initially be a very shy boy but once he comes out of his shell he will be eager to show you just how much energy he has! He loves to play particularly with tennis balls and he really enjoys puzzle feeders and enrichment much more than cuddling.
