"Henry is a beautiful male Lurcher pup that is looking for a new home. He is only around 5 months old, is still growing so will be a large dog. He is a very sweet natured dog that loves everyone that he meets. He is excellent with other dogs but would prefer a home with a dog that can match his energy and excitement. He would not be suitable to live with cats. Henry is a typical pup. He loves to be with someone in the day as he is a real lap dog. He is still working on his house training so will need further encouragement in this area. He has been learning basic training in his foster home and is doing really well. He has mastered sit and giving his paw but, typical of puppies, would prefer not be be alone for long as he puts everything in his mouth. Henry is described as a velcro dog, he always wants to be as physically near to you as he can be. His foster home say that he loves to sit on top of people if he can. He is a truly loving and special dog with a huge heart."placeholder image

"Saff is a beautiful young cat who has a stressful start to her life living in a multi cat household then ending up at the rescue centre where she shortly went on foster so that she could care for her two very young kittens. Due to her coming from a multi cat home Saff is a carrier of cat flu and must be the only cat in her new home. Saff was a lovely mum to her kittens and its now her turn to find her forever home. Saff is incredible and has flourished in her Foster home, although she is still a slightly nervous cat, sudden movement and noises can still alarm her so Saff is look for adult only adopters who can offer her a relaxed and cosy new home so she can continue to blossom into the sweet and playful young cat that she is fast becoming. Saff loves play fetch with her beloved felt ball where she will chase, the ball, pick in up and then drop at your feet so you can throw it again, its a very cute game to play with her! Saff is looking for a home with her own garden as she hasn’t had a chance to explore the outside as as one her favourite past times is to look our the window we wonder if she would love her own safe space to explore, once she has finished playing fetch and looking out the window Saff enjoys sitting on the laps of her foster carers and enjoys a cosy snuggle on the bed at bedtime."

"Meet Ivy, a stunning Bengal with a big personality and an even bigger presence. She’s clever, expressive, and thrives when she’s the centre of attention in a home that understands her breed. Ivy is vocal, sassy, and endlessly curious. Once comfortable, she’s affectionate and loves sitting on your lap, but she can be nervous with new people, sometimes grumbling or hissing until she feels safe. She arrived highly stressed and overwhelmed but has gradually built confidence. Ivy is now friendly with most staff, though loud noises can still trigger defensive behaviour. As a smart, active Bengal, she thrives on mental and physical enrichment and previously enjoyed a cat wheel at home. She isn’t keen on being picked up and would suit a household with older children who respect her boundaries. Ivy is currently on trazodone for stress and will need to be gradually weaned off under veterinary guidance. She has only lived indoors and will need to remain an only pet in her new home. She's looking for experienced cat owners, ideally with Bengals or other Oriental breeds, or someone who has thoroughly researched the breed. Ivy needs a calm, loving home that can provide enrichment such as a catio or cat wheel. In the right environment, she’ll be a rewarding, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion."

"Grinch is a young female rabbit that came into Bristol ARC as a stray. She is a very special girl in that she has one leg shorter than the other, so unlike the character that has a small heart, she has a small leg instead. She is a friendly and curious rabbit that is happy coming to take treats out of your hand and receive a stroke. Grinch is looking for a home with another rabbit as she would enjoy the company once they are bonded. She does not seem to enjoy going outside so she is looking for an indoor space where she can have plenty of room to run about and binkie. Grinch would suit a calm home that has experience with bonding and is happy to welcome a Grinch into their life."

"Whippy is a 1 year old neutered male rabbit that is looking for a loving new home. He is a very sweet character that loves human company and actively comes up to you for a stroke. He came into Bristol ARC when his previous owner could no longer care for him but he has obviously been well cared for. Whippy is looking for a home with an existing neutered female rabbit as he will need company once fully bonded. He is an active rabbit that likes to see what is going on all around him. When he is being cleaned out, he likes to help his carers and he really enjoys the company. Whippy is a really friendly chap that has no health issues, loves his food and will take treats straight from your hand. To sum him up, Whippy is a social creature that loves food and company."
