Meet Rufus!

Rufus is a 3-year-old toy poodle and absolute perfection in a fun-sized package! He’s goofy, bouncy, playful and a real cuddle bug who just wants to be part of everything you do. Whether it’s a walk, a car ride, or a snuggle on the couch (and yes, he insists on sleeping on the bed too!) — Rufus is your take-everywhere, do-everything sidekick.

He’s a social butterfly who loves dogs, cats and people. Rufus is happiest with canine friends around and has wonderful manners meeting new dogs.

Rufus is toilet trained, gentle taking treats, and knows his basic commands. He’s not overly vocal but will proudly alert you when someone’s at the door.

Like any good poodle, he has his opinions — dry biscuits are beneath him and he does not do rain, preferring to dash straight for the comfort of indoors at the first sign of inclement weather. A true fashionista, Rufus delights in wearing a cosy coat on chilly days and loves all the little creature comforts life has to offer. He adores treats and tummy rubs in equal measure and will happily soak up all the affection you can give.

Rufus is an all-round delight — cuddly, fun, and full of love.

He’s looking for:
🐶 A home with another friendly dog (big or small)
🏡 People who are home more often than not
💛 A family who’ll include him in every part of life

Rufus is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Hi, I’m Buddy!

I may be 13, but don’t tell me that. I still get the zoomies and have a serious cuddle addiction. My foster fam says I’ve got the energy of a dog half my age when playing. I’m just as happy to chill beside you and soak up some quiet time too.

Six years ago, I was adopted and for a while, life was good but as life changes, I’m now ready to find furever and ever family. One that will let me spend my golden years exactly how I’ve always wanted: surrounded by kindness, cuddles, and the people I adore most.

I recently had surgery to remove a tonsil polyp, and I’m happy to report I’m back to my bouncy, tail-wagging self! These days, I’m loving the good life: soft sofas, warm laps, and this thing called Netflix (huge fan). My foster mum works from home, and I take my role as “office supervisor” very seriously. I like to stay close, so she always knows she’s doing a good job and so I don’t miss any cuddles.

Sometimes I get a little too excited when I see other dogs while I’m on the leash - okay, fine...I might bark at them. It’s not because I’m mean, I just get nervous and don’t know how to handle my big feelings. We’re working on it and I’m getting better. My forever family will need to continue on this training with me. I know the command “no, walk on”, and it helps me stay calm and keep moving like the good boy I am. A calm neighbourhood walk suits me best while I keep practising my skills. Once I know another dog and feel safe, I’ll be their bestest friend. My foster sister is actually my BFF, we love playing together every day. I’ve also lived with kids before and get along great, as long as they’re gentle and kind. I’m also crate trained and settle in nicely when it’s time for me to go to bed.

I’m mostly house-trained and let my humans know when it’s time to go out by heading to the back door. A home with easy yard access would be perfect for me. I can still have wee accidents when I’m left alone because I miss my humans and get a bit worried. I also tend to mark indoors, especially in new places. This may continue while I settle into my new home, so my new family must be prepared to assist me through this transition.

I don’t like being left alone for long stretches, I just love being around my humans too much. Having another calm dog around really helps me feel safe and relaxed when they’re away, but I’m happiest in a home where someone’s around most of the day.
I can also get a bit anxious if things feel too loud or rushed. I’m not a fan of being picked up and prefer to hop into your lap on my own terms, no lifting required! Once I’m comfy, though, I’ll happily curl up beside you for hours. I'll best be suited to a home with no young children for this reason.

I’m the definition of a loyal little shadow who just loves being close to my family. What I’m really hoping for is a calm home with kind humans and a comfy couch to share. In return, I promise endless cuddles, unconditional love and a tail that never stops wagging.

Love,
Buddy

Hi, I'm kip!

I'm looking for some new associates, ones who will provide a full food bowl, and plenty of snackos while letting me live rent free, but not expecting too much in return, I am after all a cat! While I may not be destined to be a lap cat, I am a very good companion, a bit of a stalker in the shadows, and if left unsupervised - a toe nibbler. Meeting new people requires slow introductions, and time. You cant rush a good thing!

I'm low maintenance, preferring to spend my days lounging in the sun or napping on the bed. I like the company of other friendly cats, and while I don't need a cat friend, I would be fine with other cat friendly companions. I have shared with all sorts.

At night is when I come alive, as soon as my foster mum turns the lights off, she says my party starts! She can hear my trills from rooms away. I like to play with balls and my current obsession are pom poms. I love when foster mum gives us catnip too! I like to play with string toys when playing with the humans, so they don't get too close! I do let foster mum have a cheeky pat when I am inhaling my breakfast.

I enjoy surveying my kingdom from the cat tower, watching the world go by, and stalking those pesky birds through the window. For my own safety, I must be an indoor only cat in my forever home, especially as I am quite a nervy guy.

If you are looking for a sweet guy with wonderful litter manners, as handsome as Toothless from 'How to train your dragon', but with teeth, and you are willing to give me love and patience, please send in an application!
