A little over a year ago, the pound contacted us about a little scruffy dog (pictured photo 1) who was extremely unsure about his surroundings and especially overwhelmed by other dogs, needing a safe place to land where he could be the only dog in the home.

This shy and overwhelmed boy once not able to be in the same room as another dog, has now earnt himself the title of Dog of the Week at his local daycare, and is friends with all the fellow furry locals 🥹🐶

Willie Nelson we are so proud of you little man! From what was once thought to be a dog who had to be kept away from all animals, Willie has now turned into the star of the week at daycare for his social skills and happiness!

We can’t believe how far he has come, and it goes to show how being in a loving home COMPLETELY changes animals!

Thank you for these happy snaps, we were absolutely blown away to see such a change in this now happy and confident guy 🥰

& Thank you to Willie’s foster Mumma Tallulah (our quickest foster fail, adopted on the same day he arrived in care 🤭) for being the caring, gentle and patient human he needed ❤️‍🩹

Meet Baby 🐾

Baby is a truly beautiful little tabby with the most striking spotty coat and soft, soulful eyes that quietly draw you in. She has a naturally calm, gentle presence and carries herself with a lovely sense of grace. When you first meet her, Baby can be a little coy, preferring to observe her surroundings and the people around her before jumping in a thoughtful girl who likes to feel safe and settled.

She absolutely thrives in a slow, laid-back household, where her peaceful nature is given the time and space to blossom. In a calm environment, Baby comes into her own and reveals just how affectionate she is. Once she’s formed a bond, she has an incredible amount of love to give and enjoys being close to her people, sharing quiet moments, gentle pats, and relaxed companionship.

Baby would be best suited to a home with children aged 10 years and over, particularly those who are calm, predictable, and respectful of her gentle personality. She does wonderfully with kids who understand that trust is built through patience and kindness and once that trust is there, Baby rewards it with deep affection and loyalty.
She’s the kind of cat who will happily curl up nearby, keep you company during quiet evenings, and become a devoted part of the family rather than demanding the spotlight. Baby is looking for a home that will appreciate her soft nature and give her the security she needs to truly shine.

If you’re searching for a serene, loving companion who will form a beautiful, meaningful bond with you, Baby could be the perfect addition to your family 🖤

Donna Sweet, Gentle Companion 💕

Donna is an incredibly sweet and affectionate girl with the most gentle nature. She has a quiet, polite way about her and forms strong bonds with her people, always happiest when she’s close by your side.

Everything Donna does is soft and considerate. She enjoys affection but never demands it, making her a beautiful, calming presence in the home. She would suit someone looking for a loving companion who will happily keep them company throughout the day.

Donna also has a playful side that comes out when she’s with her son Disco. The two love chasing each other and exploring tunnels together, showing a fun, kitten-like energy when they’re in the mood. She would love a cat friendly companion to live with 🐈

She is great with people and, with her gentle temperament, we believe she would do well in a home with respectful children and calm dogs.
Donna is the perfect match for someone wanting a sweet, affectionate, and easy-going companion.

Meet Airlie 🐾💙

Airlie is a sweet male tabby kitten with a gentle soul and a big heart. Once he’s comfortable, he absolutely loves being close to his people - curl him into your lap and he’ll reward you with nonstop purrs and cozy snuggles 😻

He enjoys playtime and would likely have fun with wand toys, soft mice, crinkle balls, and anything he can chase or bat around 🧶🐭 After a good play session, he’s more than happy to settle in for a cuddle and some quiet companionship.

Airlie thrives with a friendly kitty companion to keep him company and share playtime 🐱🐱 He’d love a calm home with gentle older children, and would make a loving companion for a couple or an older person looking for a devoted little buddy 🏡✨

ADOPT ME:

Ralphie- all this boy does is stare at you for pats. Paw you when they stop. And wish he was smaller so he could fit in your lap properly.

He’s a favourite here, and when you meet him and see his sweet eyes looking up at you waiting to be cuddled, you can’t help but fall in love.

His Great Dane shines through strong - a big couch potato who is content waiting for his humans to come home so he can snuggle beside them all night.

He is a snuggle monster and we absolutely adore him.

Ralphie is an easy going boy. He just needs someone who is able to pull him back on walks when he is strong and overexcited. If you are big dog experienced, we would love for you to meet our sweet boy.

Pepper is a gorgeous 5 month old tabby girl with the most striking coat that shimmers beautifully in the sunlight. Her markings are truly something special, like little brushstrokes that catch the light as she moves ☀️

She has a gentle, tender nature and a quiet way of connecting that makes her incredibly special. While she may take a moment to feel safe in a new environment, once she knows you, Pepper blossoms into a deeply affectionate and loyal companion. The kind of cat who chooses her person, then stays close like your soft, steady little shadow.

There is something very peaceful about Pepper. She brings a calm, grounding energy into the home, happily padding around nearby, settling into cozy corners, or curling up for long, content naps. She does not demand attention, she simply belongs beside you, making everyday moments feel softer and more comforting.

Pepper absolutely adores other cats and truly thrives with feline companionship. Having a confident, friendly cat around helps her feel secure and brings out her playful, loving side even more. She will happily share naps, gentle playtime, and those quiet little cat conversations that make a house feel warm and alive.

She enjoys a laid back lifestyle filled with sunny windows, soft blankets, and peaceful routines. Whether she is basking in the light or tucked into her favourite cozy spot, Pepper is all about comfort, connection, and calm.

Sweet, soulful, and quietly affectionate, Pepper is the kind of cat who forms a deep bond and becomes a truly cherished part of the family. For someone looking for a gentle companion with a loving heart and a serene presence, she is something really special 🤎✨

Lime is handsome, sweet and adores other cats 🐱 ❤️

This beautiful boy has already come so far, being extremely shy when we rescued him but now loving snuggles with his foster Mum!

Once Lime feels safe, he loves to curl up in a lap or on the bed of a night 🫶

His favourite toys are little mice or toilet rolls, he's obsessed with toilet rolls...🤣

Lime loves to eat, so the good news is he’s super food driven and will do anything for a treat!

He is absolutely obsessed with other cats, and wants to be the friend of every cat in the house. It’s adorable ☺️

He’s easy going, not super high energy and he
likes to chill and vibe and watch TV with his foster fam and snuggle ❤️
