A number of pets in Dorset are looking for their forever homes, including at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre.
Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.
A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
To help the Ashley Heath Animal Centre carry on their work you can donate to their website here.
Chase
Gender - Male
Age - Eight years old
Breed - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Colour - Tan and White
If you want to adopt Chase you can view their full profile here.
Chase was taken into the care of Ashley Heath through no fault of his own as sadly his owner was unable to meet his needs.
He is described as "charismatic", walks well on a lead and knows his basic training which includes his name, sit, wait and paw.
Chase is not keen on being in close proximity with other dogs and does need to wear a muzzle on walks but he can walk calmly past them.
He was suffering from a mild skin condition which is now much better and requires minimal treatment at this moment.
Hope and Miracle
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Hope and Miracle you can view their full profile here.
Hope and Miracle are two cats who are looking to find a home together, as they both like to curl up on a bed side-by-side and reassure each other.
They may get used to another cat given the time and space, but no dogs. They could also live with children aged 13 years and above.
Additionally, they should not be rehomed within five miles of Fareham (PO16).
Paul
Gender - Male
Age - One year old
Breed - Domestic
Colour - Brown and white
If you want to adopt Paul you can view their full profile here.
Paul originally came from a multi-animal household with many others and is now looking for a forever home.
Although a little nervous he is good to handle once caught and is getting braver each day at the centre.
Due to his long hair, he will require regular grooming to ensure his coat is maintained.
Paul has been neutered and would like to find a home where he can live with a female guinea pig.
Austin
Gender - Male
Age - Six to 12 months old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Grey/White
If you want to adopt Austin you can view their full profile here.
Austin arrived at Ashley Heath after being abandoned by his previous owner and is now eager to find a loving new home.
He is described as "playful" and loves playing with his toys.
Austin is looking for a home where he may get used to another cat or even a calm, friendly dog who has lived with cats previously.
Additionally, he is not to be rehomed within five miles of High Wycombe (HP12).
