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.

He came into the care of the RSPCA due to welfare concerns and it became clear he had lacked socialisation with other dogs and people.
Pierre has been on a training plan since then which has improved his behaviour significantly.
