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.

Gender - Female

Age - Two years old

Breed - Cockapoo crossbreed

Colour - Black

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

Mollie came into the RSPCA with her sister Millie after having lived a sheltered life, potentially never having left the property they came from.

The RSPCA is looking to have the pair adopted separately, and Mollie will need to be the only pet in a home.

Mollie has learnt to sit and walk well on the lead, but would benefit from further training and agility classes.

The ideal home for Mollie is one where she will have company through the day initially. Once settled, she may be ok to be left for short periods.

As stated above Millie came into the care of the RSPCA with her sister Mollie having lived a very sheltered life.

Millie would require an adult-only home where any visiting children will be dog-confident older teenagers.

Larry

Gender - Male

Age - Five years old

Breed - Lurcher crossbreed

Colour - Tan

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

Larry is described as a "sweet but sensitive boy" who is looking to find his forever home.

He can be easily startled so will need to go to a calm and quiet home environment with an experienced owner.

Potential adopters will need to be able to visit him regularly and on several occasions so he can begin to build a trusting bond before heading to his new home.

Larry is very happy around other dogs so could live with one in a new place.

Lily came into the care of the RSPCA as a stray with four newborn kittens and is now looking for a forever home to call her own.
