Animals in Worcestershire that need to be rehomed

Luckily, there are so many adorable animals right here in Worcestershire that need your love.

However, you need to remember that an animal is for life and not just for lockdown- before you start the adoption process you need to make sure you're capable of looking after an animal so they don't end up back in the shelter.

Here are just five cats and dogs who are looking for a new home.

Phil
Breed: Lurcher
Age: 2 (approx)
Location: Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter

Phil used to be a stray and not a lot is known about his history. However, it’s thought he came from a working background but didn’t live up to expectations.

He still needs a little training, but he is young and constantly learning as he grows.

He has a nervous nature with other people and it will take time for him to gain your trust.

However, these nerves disappear around other dogs and he is described as “a real flirt” with them- this means he can be rehomed with other dogs.

Badger
Breed: Greyhound
Age: 4 years & 7 months
Location: Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter

This former greyhound is described as a “gentle giant”, with a relaxed and placid nature.

He is looking for a quiet and comfortable years to live out his ex-racing retirement years.

However, he struggles with being left alone for long periods and will need an owner who is there all day.

He could live with other dogs- but not small animals or cats.

Badger also has seasonal alopecia- which has been off putting to people who meet him. However, this is purely cosmetic and won’t lead to further health issues.

Pepper
Breed: Patterdale cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier 
Age: 4
Location: Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter

Pepper has had a rough start in life and requires a lot of training and patience. She struggles to build relationships with people and is used to entertaining herself.

However, the team at the shelter will work with you to train her and help you form a bond together.

Once she trusts you, she is a fun and loving dog who can walk for miles and cuddle up to you in the evenings.

While she gets along with other dogs, she would prefer to be the only animal in the household.

Toffee

Age: 15 (Approx)

Toffee is an elderly cat looking to spend the rest of her days in peace and quiet- she in also an indoor cat who would like access to a private garden.

However, it’s worth noting she does have a grade 4-6 heart murmur and takes medication twice a day for it.
