Several 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.

Boycie

Gender - Male

Age - Seven years old

Breed - Saluki crossbreed

Colour - Tan

If you want to adopt Boycie you can view their full profile here.

Boycie is described as a "super sweet" dog who loves playing with toys and cuddles.

He does like chasing and has a high prey drive so cannot live with cats or small animals.

RSPCA adds: "Boycie would like direct access to a large fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing - and lots of footballs!!!!!

"Potential adopters could look at renting a secure field 2-3 times a week, so that he can have a really good run around in a secure area."

Maud

Age - One year old

Breed - Domestic Semi crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

If you want to adopt Maud you can view their full profile here.

Maud came into the care of the RSPCA as a stray with a badly broken jaw but has been recovering well.

She is described as quite timid but once she gets to know a person is more than willing to enjoy a bit of a fuss from them.

Maud is looking for a home where she may get used to another cat but no dogs, and could live with children aged 10 and over.

Additionally, she is not to be rehomed within five miles of West Meon (GU32).

Dora

Gender - Female

Age - Two years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Tortoiseshell

If you want to adopt Dora you can view their full profile here.

Dora arrived at the centre from a large multi-household of other cats, and she has had very little human contact in her life.

She will need time to settle into a new environment and staff are currently working with her to make cattery life more comfortable.

Dora will be best suited to a quiet home with adopters who have had experience with nervous cats before.

Additionally, she is not to be rehomed within five miles of Weymouth.

Sargent

Gender - Male

Age - Two years old

Breed - Angora

Colour - Blue/Grey

If you want to adopt Sargent you can view their full profile here.

Sargent came into the care of the RSPCA from a multi-household of rabbits, and is now looking to find a new one.

He is described as a friendly, social rabbit, who enjoys exploring his environment and supervising at cleaning time.

Sargent will need grooming daily to keep on top of his long fur, and he is quite content to just sit as you do it.

The RSPCA adds: "He would like to be rehomed to live with a female rabbit as company and will require a large living area with plenty of enrichment to keep them occupied. Initially they will require separate accommodation from each other during the bonding process."

Gender - Not stated

Age - Six to 12 months

Breed - Domestic

Colour - White (Yoyo) and Brown (Nesquik)

If you want to adopt Yoyo and Nesquick you can view their full profile here.

Yoyo and Nesquik are looking for a home together after being abandoned.

Nesquik is the more confident one of the pair, although they are both a little shy and timid, and it's clear they hadn't had much handling before coming into the care of Ashley Heath.

The centre is working with the pair to build their confidence and have some positive experiences.
