It's Rewind Rehome time!

Otis is just gorgeous 😍

If you have space in your home and lives for such a gorgeous boy, please get in touch with Rspca Cornwall Branch for more details, or listen to Cornwall’s Rewind Radio at 4.30pm!

📻🐾 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹'𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 🐾📻

This week we'd love you to meet the handsome 𝗢𝘁𝗶𝘀!
Otis is a 3-year-old Patterdale Terrier with a striking coat and a big personality to match. He is a typical terrier, full of character, independent and always ready for his next adventure.

❤️ Otis is a friendly boy who has won over everyone he has met. He can be a little aloof at first, often preferring to explore before saying hello, but once he gets to know you, he is very affectionate and loves a cuddle on the sofa.

🎾 He has a playful side too and particularly enjoys chasing bouncy balls!

Otis is an active boy who needs at least an hour of exercise each day and a family who will enjoy lots of fun adventures with him.

🏡 𝗢𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿:
• An adult-only home
• A secure garden with 6ft fencing
• To be the only pet
• A quieter or semi-rural home
• Someone around most of the time, as he can struggle when left alone

Otis can be friendly with some dogs, but can become vocal or frustrated around others, so he will need patient handling and ongoing training to help him build confidence.

Could you be the loving home this handsome, energetic boy has been waiting for?

We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we've been nominated for the Cornwall’s Heroes Awards in the Animal Welfare Champion category! This is for the work we do with Rspca Cornwall Branch, and we could not be more proud to have been nominated!

Thank you so much to everyone for all of your donations that have been truly well appreciated, as well as for all of yiur support which has enabled us to sponsor the rehoming slot on Cornwall’s Rewind Radio every Wednesday at 4.30pm.

And thank you to the team at RSPCA Cornwall Branch, especially Leanne, for your nomination.

It's great collaboration like this that can make truly special things happen, and I'm hoping to beat last years total of rehoming over 500 animals this year.

If anyone is looking for something to do for a couple of hours, we highly recommend Tavistock Goats.

Tim and Sarah were incredible hosts, and introduced us to all of their animals. Their knowledge is huge, and you get to spend plenty of 1-1 time with the animals.

This is not a zoo or petting farm, this is a very personal visit of just your group.

And if you work in a care/nursing home or school, they also take a small selection on the road with them to do visits.

Definitely worth checking out!

We’re a small, heart-led company based in Tavistock, sharing the joy of our six adorable, hornless pygmy goats!
Our friendly, tame goats love nothing more than cuddles and attention.

Can you help give young Harlequin a home?

I'm sure someone out there can give big love to this adorable bundle of cuddles!

Tune in to Cornwall’s Rewind Radio today at 4.30pm for Rewind Rehome to hear more!

This radio segment that we proudly sponsor helped rehome over 500 animals last year, can we get even more this year?

Be a and give Harlequin a chance!

This week we'd love you to meet the beautiful 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻! 💙

Harlequin is a gorgeous 1-year-old Cane Corso Mastiff with a BIG personality, plenty of energy and an even bigger heart. This beautiful girl is a true gentle giant who absolutely adores people and loves nothing more than affection and a good cuddle! 🥰🐾

Harlequin is still learning her manners and, being a big and powerful young dog, her new family will need to be committed to continuing her training with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement.

She can live with teenagers aged 15 and over, but she must be the only pet in the home with no visiting dogs. She’ll also need her own secure garden with 6ft fencing.

She is a loving girl who simply adores being around her people. With the right home, continued training and plenty of exercise and enrichment, Harlequin has so much potential. ❤️
