1. Dude
Dude at heart is a gentle, quiet boy who has come from a difficult start in life. Previously part of a large multi-cat household where he didn’t receive the care or attention he deserved, he now learning what it means to feel safe. | RSPCA

2. Ludi
Ludi is a two-year-old Lurcher with a big personality and plenty of energy to burn. He’s a young lad who can be a little excitable at times, but his playful, silly nature makes him a real joy to be around. | RSPCA

3. Taco
Taco would thrive in a home either just one or more adults, just adults and secondary school age but preferably not younger. | RSPCA

4. Jess - Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross
Jess is a two-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. She’s a friendly girl who wants nothing more than to make connections, though she can be a little unsure in new situations or with new people. With slow introductions at her own pace, Jess soon shows her sweet, affectionate side and is happiest sitting by your side once she feels safe and comfortable. | RSPCA
