Ruby
Ruby was born in January 2015. She is a super girl who is very friendly. A typical boxer and very bouncy. We do know Ruby lived with another dog and cats but we don’t know the history of the interaction between her and cats. Having said that she is a pretty laid back girl who…
Read MoreRocky
Rocky was born 2009. When he came in he had quite a few lumps and bumps and these have now been removed and he’s raring to go. He still has a skin and ear problem which is likely to need treatment for some time but he smells SO much better now after regular medicated baths…
Read MoreOdin
Odin was born December 2016 and is a very loving boy. He walks well although can be excitable around other dogs. He really is a gentle giant. He has lived with another dog and we understand cats but we are not too sure on the history of success with this. A home with experience of…
Read MoreFraoch
Sadly Fraoch is back with us sadly after her owner became ill. She is a lovely girl and has settled back in to the kennels quickly. Fraoch can be sensitive soul around some dogs but we have been walking her with our bigger dogs and she is perfectly happy. However, Fraoch can also be the…
Read MoreMaggie
Maggie is around 4 years old and is just the biggest, most lovable dog. Her enthusiasm for life is cuddles. If she can like on her side getting fuss then she’s a happy girl. She has been really good with the other dogs in kennels and has acted as a mentor for Scooby. When she…
Read More29/7/21 Tom & Harry are away to their new home.
Tom and Harry came in in separate cages but they have now been bonded and enjoy each other’s company. These two will need a large cage so they can enjoy stretching their wings. They are not hand tame but with time and patience it would be lovely to see these two enjoy a bit of…
Read More03/08/21 CoCo – we are not taking any more enquiries on CoCo
Coco will be 2 in October this year. She came in after she had a prolapse which has taken good length of time to resolve. We weren’t sure if she would need a further operation but it she is doing really well and feel comfortable now is the right time to put her up for…
Read MoreShadow
Shadow is just a youngster we understand had some housetraining issues in his home. He has only recently been neutered and this together with being an only cat will pay dividends. He is an affectionate boy who is fairly confident but we feel that despite his bravado he lacks a bit of confidence. A gentle…
Read MoreBonnie
Bonnie is a petite girl around 3 years old. She has had an unsettled few months but you can see what a gentle soul is waiting to come out. She will need a quieter home with time for her to become adjusted to her new surrounds. She is already showing her softer side. Bonnie can…
Read MoreGus
Gus we believe is around 5 years old. He has recently been neutered and started his vaccinations. He is a loving boy who appears to enjoy human company and his food. There is little that will become between Gus and his food.
Read MoreMilo
Milo is around 4 years old and although very cute looking he has bitten his previous owner in the face. Milo has come in with an ear infection, additionally he has clearly not had a great time when his face and eyes have been cleaned and we believe this is what has led him to…
Read MoreScooby
Scooby a large boy said to be a great dane cross but is more of a large lurcher. Scooby was born in November 2016. He is a big boy with great enthusiasm for life. Scooby would benefit from having some purpose in his life other than just causing mayhem. He is a boisterous boy who…
Read MoreManny
We think Manny has had a bit of a rough start to life. Those looking after him arranged to bring him in so he is able to look for a safe and loving home. We think Manny is around 4 years old. He appears to have a good nature but prefers not to be over…
Read MoreFennel
We don’t know a huge amount about Fennel’s history except he had been sleeping rough for some considerable years. Although we believe Fennel might have a slight “street cat” side so far he has shown himself to be loving and affectionate if slightly fearful of hands. He has a lovely gentle side and will offer…
Read MoreThunder
Thunder is just a year old and is a large male rabbit. He came in with Storm but sadly the two of them started fighting some time ago so have come in for separate rehoming. Thunder is a nice boy who is very attentive. He is not a hutch rabbit and will need to either…
Read MoreIzzy
Izzy is around 10 years old and has very pretty colouring. She has been living with Lola but we haven’t found them particularly keen on each other’s company and have now popped them in separate pens which they appeared to have benefited from. It may be they would be happier together in a home environment.…
Read MoreStorm
Storm was born in February 2010. She came into BARK after her owner died. Storm had spent 5 days in an outside kennel, in very cold weather, before she was found. Her condition was very poor and she had very bad eyes, ears and a lot of unexplained lumps. Her teeth were very poor. Storm…

Read MoreBiscuit
Biscuit is a medium sized cross who is under two. Please note he is not a border terrier type and has staffie in him. When he came in it is fair to say he was a grumpy boy when he came in he did have a reasonable excuse as his skin was very sore. Once…
Read MoreEnzo
Sadly Enzo is back with us Enzo is just over three and a half and has had a really rough start to life. You may recall he came in came in from what we believe was the same house as Tiggy. He was thin and his skin was in terrible condition. (see picture at the…

Read MoreWhen 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…
Read MoreDay 648 and Christmas came early
I think I speak for all the staff and volunteers at the kennels that if we had one wish for Christmas, much as we love him, it would be for Archie to not spend it with us at kennels but with a new family. Well yesterday 648 days after coming into kennels our Archie finally…
Read MoreSometimes 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…
Read MoreAnd 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…
Read MoreAnother 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MorePlant 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…
Read MoreVet 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…
Read More“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…
Read MoreCatching 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…
Read MoreOpen 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…
Read MoreVet visit day
We are lucky to have our vets, Galedin, so close. It’s vet visit today. Nothing particularly exciting. 14 vaccinations and check ups plus we’re a bit concerned about one of our rabbits so a check over by the vet will hopefully sort that out. Fortunately today is not the day for all the kittens to…

Even though we haven’t chosen the name for the dogs in the kennels at the moment there is a bit of a theme, we have Billy, Chillie and Milly and Charlie, Marley and Charlie. It can be a bit of a tongue twister, especial as the ‘groups’ tend to be out on their walks together. …
