Cyril

Cyril came in after the person looking after him died. He was not actually her cat and had appeared about 2 years before. We have manage to contact his owner but they do not want him back. He is a shy lad but so wants to be loved. He wasn’t neutered but this has now…

Sam

Sam came in after the person looking after him died. He was not actually her cat and had appeared about 2 years before. All attempts to find an owner have failed so he is now looking for a new home. Although he can be shy at first he soon warms to anyone who has time…

Sammi

Sammi came in as a stray and remained unclaimed. She has recently been neutered and has restarted her vaccinations. We think Sammi is just a youngster. She appears to be overgrooming at the moment but his may be due to the unsettled time she has had recently. She was fairly underweight when she came in…

Bobby and Chibbs

Bobby (8 years 4 months) and Chibbs 11 years 5 months, although a pair who could go together could also be separated for the right home. Bobby is more timid but such a sweet boy once he knows you, where as Chibbs is straight in for a fuss and bother.

Betty – no more enquiries – thank you

Betty came in as a stray and remained unclaimed so is now looking for a new home. We have no previous history on her as she was not microchippped. We have recently spayed Betty and she has had some issues with her anal glands which we believe are now resolved but only time will tell…

Clarence and Fergus

Clarence, 2 and Fergus, 7 months, are a sweet pair who we are looking to rehome together. These two will need LOTS of grooming, Sadly they have only been ‘top’ groomed so we are working our way through their tats and matts at the moment. Fortunately they appear to be love being groomed so once…

Winston

Winston is around 6 years old and said to be a pug cross pomeranian. We have found him to be a happy lad who embraces life full on. He can initially be a bit vocal on seeing/meeting dogs but settles with the right direction. Any new owner will need to accept this will take time…

Cleo

Cleo is 3 years old and is friendly on her terms. Cleo can be a little bit timid at first but loves a bit of a fuss and bother but will equally let you know when she’s had enough. She is settling well into kennels now so we are looking for a new home for…

(C)Leo and Milo

C(L)eo and Milo are a fab pair of male rabbits and under 2 years old. They have been neutered, unfortunately due to complications after their operations we were strongly advised to separate them so we have did while they recovered. (C)Leo and Milo are both extremely laid back and a really super pair. Their coats…

Jerry

Jerry is a gorgeous 2 year old Dutch rabbit. He is very social and loves a head rub and chat. He has just been neutered and will be ready to bond with a new friend around the start of December. A hutch is not enough for any rabbit Please check out Home | Rabbit Welfare…

Twix and Buzz

Twix and Buzz are a male pair of guineas born around March this year. They are very timid and will need some gentle handle and then we are sure they will turn into chatty little lads. As always for accommodation the bigger the better but guineas like lots and lots of places to hide and…

Max

Max is a lovely lad who has had a bit of a rough time. He came in in January when his owner was struggling to look after his general health. While in with us his skin improved to perfection and all his tummy issues were sorted. He went back to his owner who felt he…

Emma

Emma came in with two other (male) tortoises. None of them were in great condition and sadly this may affect them going forward, all are Horsefield. Emma has had her beaked trimmed and is doing well. Said to be not very old but will likely be at least 10 years old. Emma is the most…

Sparta

Sparta, who we believe to be a boy, is 9 years old. He is well handled and eats and sheds well. He has got a great character and can be very fast when he wants to explore. He loves to bury into the substrate in his vivarium.

Finlay

Finlay was born at kennels on 18th July 2023. He has now been with us a year and despite being a sweet boy he is still with us. He loves his veg. He is neutered and vaccinated and ready to bond with another neutered rabbit. A hutch is not enough for any rabbit Please check…

Petunia

Petunia was taken in by someone at the beginning of the year with a littler of kittens. The kittens quickly got rehomed but Petunia didn’t due to her personality. Now no longer able to stay where she was she is looking for a new home. Petunia has been such a sweetie since coming in, she…

Teddy

Teddy is a very sweet boy who is only around 9 months. He has been neutered and will ready to start bonding with another rabbit (or two) towards the end of May. Teddy loves a chat and is always involved in what you are up to. We believe he would excel in a house with…

Tea

Tea is a very sweet girl. She is coming up to 3 years old. She has been living with children and her old owners have said she would love a family. Tea has been an outside rabbit but we are sure she would take to a house. She has now been neutered and ready to…

(Side Show) Bob – needs time to adjust to any new owner/home so the process will be a slow one

Bob came in in poor condition with so many fleas and worms and quite underweight. He has done great since coming in, he has put on weight, received the treatment he needed, been neutered and had a few dodgy haircuts. He is a bundle of energy and a happy boy. He is said to be…

Kassuku

Kassuku is an African Grey and was born around 2002. He is a great character, very chatty but also very noisy. He loves his showers, and although he has always lived with a woman we have found he prefers the company of men. Overtime it appears that Kassuku would prefer a bit of one to…

Update on Lily

We are all truly devastated about what the legislation means for perceived XL Bully types in rescue kennels. We have added a page to our website for ways in which you can support Lily and BARK generally. Please follow this link. We can not express how much your kind words have meant to us. The…

Rosie

Biscuit

Sadly Biscuit is back in with us. After 4 weeks in his new home there was an incident which led to Biscuit biting. While we are aware of the circumstances of the bite, which should have been avoidable, it is not acceptable. His new owners decided they were unable to trust him and he came…

When is a stray cat not a stray cat?

Cats are naturally wanderers as far as 10 miles, especially if unneutered. Cats, when they visit other houses, are always ‘starving’ and are never fussy eaters (I once knew a cat that would only eat turkey at home but went and raided the neighbours cat food bowl every day). So what can you do if…

Sometimes all that is needed is a little bit of tlc

Stanley has clearly been living rough for sometime, although he is a little bit fuffy as you can see in the video below if a dreamie is involved he’s happy to have a bit of a stroke. It looks like our Stanley will be looking for a cosy indoor home once he is fully recovered…

And still they keep coming in

There appears to be a never ending stream of kittens being found. This morning two more came in from the Duns area. Very pretty with sharp claws and teeth. We’re sure they’ll come round as soon as they realise we’re a source of food. These two are probably around the 12 weeks mark so still…

Another busy Saturday

We’ve another busy Saturday ahead with 14 animals off to their new homes. Fortunately a lot of them are cats as we have a huge waiting list of cats to come in. We often get asked if we are sad when the animals leave us. That’s a difficult question, it is after all what we’re…

The wonder of mother nature

Yesterday we took in three kittens about 3 or 4 weeks old that were found by the road side. Apparently healthy, and certainly with healthy appetites. Lucille had just finished feeding her 5 so we though we’d see if she would help us out. She wasn’t a natural mother when her kittens were born, she…

Plant Sale preparations

Our plant sale is always very popular and Karen has been planting seeds since before the last one. Her long suffering husband has decided the only way forward is a poly tunnel as they have no more window sills, or space for that matter in their house and garden. So today a massive 25 x…

Vet visit day – It’s going to be a long one!

So today one of the vets from Galedin will be down pulling their hair out. We have 15 cat vaccinations, 8 dog vaccinations and an additional 6 check ups. Of course to help matters nearly all the cats are black or black and white just to complicate matters. They are all microchipped and it will…

“I could never put my animal into rescue……..”

Rescue animals come in for all sorts of reasons, the minority is your stereotypical dumped, abandoned, unwanted. For many bringing animals in to us it is a heart wrenching decision which causes upset past the initial bringing in. Many owners have brought animals in because for one reason or another finance, or lack of…

Catching up

Catching up after the open day this last weekend is taking it’s time. With the applications for the puppies to go through (and there’s a lot of them), home checks for lots of the dogs, microchipping of all the kittens so we know who is who and having a full kennels, cattery, Hop Inn and…

Open Day

We had our open day on Saturday (28th October). To say it was busy was an understatement. Lots of people in looking at our animals. Of course the kittens and puppies attracted the most visitors. Poor Archie once again getting overlooked for the younger or prettier dogs. (I know beauty is in the eye of…
