💗 Maisie is waiting for someone to see the girl behind the nerves 💗

At around 2 years old, Maisie has so much love and fun to give. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate, playful side comes out, complete with the cutest zoomies! 🐾

Maisie is looking for an adult-only home with patient people who understand that confidence takes time. She needs a calm, consistent environment where she can settle at her own pace and learn that she’s safe.

🐶 Dog friendly, so the right canine companion could be a lovely bonus!

Maisie doesn’t need a perfect home. She needs someone willing to give her time, understanding and the chance to blossom into the dog she’s meant to be.

Could you be the person who changes Maisie’s world? Or perhaps you know someone who could?

📩 Get in touch with Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue to find out more about adopting Maisie.

Please share her post. Her forever family might be closer than we think. 💗

Your sofa is missing someone. Just saying. 👀🐾

Spirit is still waiting for his person, and we reckon someone out there is missing out on a seriously good companion. 🤍

He’s all about being part of the family, spending time with his people and having a comfy spot to call his own. Ideally, his humans will be home for much of the day because Spirit loves having company.

🐶 Dog friendly with dogs who match his vibe
👧 Good with children who understand dogs
🏡 Looking for a home where people are around a lot
🛋️ Potentially your new favourite sofa buddy

Spirit doesn’t need a perfect home. He just needs the right one. A family who understands him, gives him time to settle and makes him part of their everyday life.

So, who’s got room for one more? ❤️

📩 Get in touch with Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue to find out more about Spirit.

Can’t adopt? A share could help his future family find him.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support us today, and to all our amazing volunteers who worked so hard to make the event happen. ❤️

I think it’s fair to say the weather forecast was a bit off! 😂 But despite the weather, we still managed to raise an incredible £693.62!

Isn’t that just amazing? It really does make all the hard work worthwhile and shows just how much support we have from our wonderful community.

We couldn’t do what we do without every single one of you, whether you volunteered your time, came along to enjoy the day, donated or helped us raise money for the dogs in our care. Thank you so much.

And what better way to finish the day than with this beautiful rainbow! 🌈 A lovely end to a very worthwhile day.

Thank you all again. We really do appreciate every single one of you! 🐾

🌬️🐾 A LITTLE REMINDER TO CHECK YOUR FENCES & GATES!

With the yellow weather warning in place, we’re reminding everyone to give their garden fences and gates a quick check. Strong winds can sometimes loosen panels or gates, creating little escape routes for our curious four-legged friends! 🐶❤️

A quick check and a secure gate can make all the difference, so please keep an eye on your pets when they’re outside.

We hope everyone is staying safe and keeping cosy during the storm! ❤️🐾

Please share to help spread the word!
