Dorset RSPCA: 6 pets who are looking for forever homes

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.

Whitney

Gender - Female

Age - Two years old (approx)

Breed - Collie (Smooth coat) crossbreed

Colour - Dark/Grey/White

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

Whitney came into the care of the RSPCA after she was removed from unsuitable living conditions.

Although initially shy, Whitney is described as "a very sweet girl" and once you have gained her trust, she is playful and full of energy.

She is interested to see what is going on but until she gets to know you, she can be quite worried by sudden movements or touch.

New adopters must respect that she may take time to allow interaction, fuss and attention.

Due to her past, Whitney has never experienced a proper home environment before so new owners would need to show her the ropes.

Blair came into the care of the RSPCA through no fault of her own and is now looking for a forever home.

When she arrived at the centre she was a little nervous and took time to get to know people.

She could potentially be rehomed with another cat if allowed enough time and her own space.

When she arrived at the centre she was a little nervous but now enjoys having lots of fuss and will seek out attention.

Sapphire came into the care of the RSPCA after being found in a property with over 100 rabbits.

She is looking to live with an existing neutered male rabbit and to be gradually introduced to become a bonded pair.

Sapphire can be a little nervous and would appreciate a home that can give her the time and patience to build her confidence.

Flora

Gender - Female

Age - One year old

Breed - Domestic Longhair crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

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

Flora arrived at the centre from a large multi-household of other cats, and as a result, has had very little human contact.

She will need time to settle into a new environment and will be best suited to a quiet home with adopters who have had experience with nervous cats before.

Flora could get used to living with another cat given the time and space to settle.

Gender - Male

Age - Two years old

Breed - Domestic

Colour - White

Mr Binx came into the care of the RSPCA after being found abandoned along with several other rabbits, and he is now ready for a new home.

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

Ashley Heath adds: "He would like to be rehomed to live with a female rabbit as a 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."
