MEET Sophia, Sweep, Sky and Sam – just some of the Dorset rescue animals currently looking for a loving new home.
Staff at Margaret Green Animal Rescue, based in Wareham and Blandford, are hoping to find families for their resident cats and dogs.
Four-year-old lap cat Sophia is said to be a “friendly and affectionate girl” who sometimes likes her belly scratched. She would prefer to be the only cat in the home but should be fine to live with older children.
Sweep, meanwhile, is currently living with his feline brother Sooty and is happy to be rehomed with him or on his own. Staff say once he gets to know a person, he is very affectionate and should be able to live with children, another cat or a dog.
Lucy Compton, fundraising and marketing manager for Margaret Green, described some of the other animals in the rescue centre’s care.
“There’s Sky, a lovely little lady who would like a home of her own. She used to live with other cats but was quite unhappy being around them. She would like a home where she is the only pet, but she should be ok to live with older children. She needs lots of fuss and love,” she said.
“Daisy is an extremely pretty two-year-old female Lurcher,” she continued, “who is very friendly and happy. She loves to run, especially when she’s amongst all her four-legged friends. For this reason, she’d love to find an active, loving family who will enjoy taking her on long walks.
“She can live with other dogs and children aged five and over, but she wouldn’t be able to live with cats.”
Two other canines at the centre are Tanzie, a two-year-old Husky cross, and Sam, a nine-year-old chocolate Labrador.
Tanzie is “full of fun and energy” and knows some basic commands but enjoys learning new tricks. She could live with children aged 12 and over and male dogs but would prefer a home without cats.
Sam is a “typical, happy chocolate Lab who loves everything and everyone”. He loves company and although he is nine, he is still full of life and enjoys his walks, according to staff.
