Things to Consider Before Adopting a Pet
Rhonda
Gender - Female
Age - Five years old
Breed - German Shepherd
Colour - Black and tan
If you want to adopt Rhonda you can view their full profile here.
Rhonda came to the RSPCA in a "sorry state" after living outside, with her carers believing that she has spent most of her time in a garden, has had puppies in the past and has very little life experience.
She is a sweet girl who, once she is comfortable, is affectionate and looks to her trusted people for support and kindness.
Rhonda is looking for an experienced home who will help slowly show her the world isn’t scary through positive training and patience.
The RSPCA says they don’t think she has lived within a home, so adopters will need to be patient as she learns what it's like to live in a home.
Sawyer
Gender - Male
Age - 13 years old
Breed - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Colour - White
If you want to adopt Sawyer you can view their full profile here.
Sawyer came in as an unclaimed stray but is very friendly with everyone he meets.
He walks well on the lead and is good off the lead too, enjoying having a wander around and a snuffle in a secure area.
Sawyer has been fine with all the dogs he has met so far.
He is looking for a retirement home with a garden where he can sunbathe and would prefer a home where he is not left on his own for too long.
Zelda
Gender - Female
Age - Three to six months old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Zelda you can view their full profile here.
Sweet Zelda arrived at Bluebell Ridge recently after being transferred from a local RSPCA Hospital.
Sadly, she was originally found as an injured stray and had a serious open fracture to her back leg, with the vets unable to save her leg.
She is a timid girl who needs a quiet home where she can be given time and space to grow in confidence, and would be best in a home with older teenage children and as the only pet in the household.
Due to Zelda having only three legs, she will need a home in a very quiet area away from any busy roads. Ideally, in a quiet cul-de-sac.
Olive and Daffodil
Gender - Female
Age - Sx to 12 months old
Breed - Rex
Colour - Brown and black and white
If you want to adopt Olive and Daffodil you can view their full profile here.
The RSPCA say they have recently taken in 37 small animals from a home that had 107 rabbits and guinea pigs. None of the animals were neutered or vaccinated and they all had mites.
Olive and Daffodil are looking for a home together. Olive is the brown rex and Daffodil is the black and white rex.
Recommended reading:
The RSPCA says it believes Olive is the mum and Daffodil is the daughter. They get on very well but have a sweet but shy nature. Daffodil likes to play with her toys while mum Olive likes to snooze in the sun.
They are nearly litter trained, so could live inside or out, but if they are to live outside, provisions must be made during winter, as this will be Daffodil's first winter, so they must be inside for this
Both are microchipped, neutered, wormed and vaccinated.
