S72 8QW Viewing Hours- 11.00am-1.00pm Monday -Friday
11.00am- 3.00pm Saturday & Sunday (please note this is a commercial boarding kennels where we keep our dogs) You can be advised about a dog by the kennel staff who look after them & by our volunteers who know the history of the dog. Please think carefully before deciding on a rescue dog. They will need a period of adjustment after being in kennels & cannot be expected to just 'fit in' with your family straight away. All our dogs are vaccinated, micro chipped, neutered & wormed. Vouchers are issued if we haven't done these before they go to their new homes. The adoption fee covers some of these costs- the rest is covered by fund raising. Our volunteer dog walkers are available most weekends between 11am and 1pm
at the kennels and would be happy to chat to you about the dogs. To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on Rocky   (7-1-12)    
Rocky has come back into our care as his owners have split up. He has grown into a strong and very handsome lad. He has responded really well to training while with us and now walks nicely on his lead/halti. He will sit, give a paw and 'down' on command and as you can see loves a cuddle. He is house trained, good with children but would,because of his size, be better with slightly older children (10 +) He is about 14 months old & will make a great pet for the right owners. Please look at his weekly dog blogs to see how Rocky has progressed since coming to us. Bev would be more than happy to talk to anyone interested in Rocky on a Saturday when she walks our dogs. (please get in touch beforehand to arrange an appointment). We really need to find that special home for Rocky-could it be with you? For more information please leave a message on 01226 298271 or email janette@roystonanimalwelfare.org To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on Sally     She is house trained, responsive to commands & doesn't chew. Sally was originally from the stray kennels where she was due to be PTS. We re homed her to a family where it has been found she doesn't really like children. So she needs to have a new home without any small children. Sally is a man's dog-she responds really well to men. For more information please leave a message on 01226 298271 or email janette@roystonanimalwelfare.org To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on Mickey
       Mickey is one of our 'Christmas saves'. Mickey has come from the stray pound where he was under threat of being put to sleep. He is a Lurcher or Greyhound X of about 4 years of age. He has a very gorgeous distinctive coat & one blue eye. He travelled really well in the car & was very well behaved in the vets. UPDATE- Mickey went with Scooby to the vets this week for his follow on vaccination. He jumped in the car & just laid down & went to sleep. I took them into the vets together & they behaved impeccably. Mickey was getting a bit of attention (he has a spectacular colour coat) & Scooby just nosed his way forward as if to say-'& what about me?' Mickey didn't mind a bit -they both are really good with each other. Mickey has an excellent temperament & will make a smashing addition to someone's family. or email janette@roystonanimalwelfare.org To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on  Mickey & Scooby Teddy  Teddy saw a couple of cats & was never really interested in having his photo taken then!!!    He is very friendly, even wanting to fuss the traffic warden outside the vets!!! (He wags his tail & most of his back end wags too!!) He is rough haired- has a line of curly hair all down his back!! He has come from the stray kennels where he was due to be PTS. He laid straight down in the car & didn't make a peep while going to the kennels. Teddy is a little smasher & will make a great addition to someone's family. (please note-obviously with him being a stray we don't know how he is with children) but he does not like cats For more information please leave a message on 01226 298271 or email janette@roystonanimalwelfare.org To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on Phoebe AKA Bella     Phoebe has come to us from the stray kennels where her time was up. She is a really sweetie. She travelled well in the cage in my car- looking out of the window but jumped over the dog guard in the transporters car so perhaps has been used to jumping all over the car!!! She was really well behaved in the vets & is very friendly. We think she may be about 4-5 years old & is a small Terrier x (possibly dachshund in the mix!?) For more information please leave a message on 01226 298271 or email janette@roystonanimalwelfare.org To see the most up to date information from the walking team please click on The following are NOT Raw dogs. If you are interested please contact the present owners whose details appear after the info.   Elsa is approximately 6/7 months old She went to the vet when he got her and she’s been fully checked and given a clean bill of health. We’ve (the current owner) had her micro chipped and she’s had all of her injections. She’s had monthly doses of Stronghold and has been treated for tapeworm. She pulls on the lead but as she’d never been taken for a walk when we got her so that’s to be expected. She’s as bright as a button and knows the basic commands of sit, stay, etc., although she is rather choosy as to when she obeys them. She’s also house trained and cries at the door when she wants to go out. She only chews if left on her own for a period of time, i.e., due to boredom, and has never chewed anything when accompanied. She’s used to sleeping in a crate and travels well in a car. She was raised with 3 small children and another dog so is both used to them and behaves well with them, although she is a bit boisterous for small children at the moment. She loves playing with other dogs and is submissive. I can be contacted on my mobile 07989802191 for further information or if anyone would like to see her.    Pepsi , the JRT, has gone to a new home & Bubba is missing her. If you have room in your life for a large energetic dog please ring Deborah.
Bubba is a 2 yr old male brindle German Shepherd cross Bull Mastiff. He is very energetic and playful so requires long walks. He responds to basic commands and is good off the lead but not near other dogs. A house without children and time for extra training would receive lots of love from him. My mobile number is 07593154576 Deborah . email debs.davies@rhythmandbooze.co.uk   Sasha has a lively lovable character, she is very playful and has lots of energy
and loves to run around, whether its in the park or by the seaside.
Sasha is loyal guard dog, but would never harm anyone.
We would like to re-home her with someone who has plenty of time for her
and who can appreciate her love of outdoors, she is a good companion if you like walking or running yourself.
Contact number is 07539739785 or 0114 2217742.

Louie    Louie came to us as a stray so we don't know any of his background, He is between 3-5yrs old, he has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We found him a home but unfortunately he lashed out at his new owner and was returned to us. He has never shown this sort of behaviour whilst at the cattery. While he has been back in our care he has shown no aggression to anyone in the cattery so, Although we had considered him to be a cat who would prefer to live outside in a farm or barn, we would really think Louie should be ok with an experienced owner.
 Chloe is a gorgeous tabby girl and has been with us for some time now after coming to us as a stray. She is a friendly girl but needs time to get to know you, she doesn't like too much fussing and prefers to come to you for attention. She is currently with our cat fosterer so contact us if you want to visit her. Daisy & Dottie  Daisy and Dottie are very shy& need to be rehomed together to a home without other animals or young children. They need a home with a very understanding, patient person who can give them time to settle in. They will be ok with a cat friendly dog as they get on well with the fosterers dogs. They have both been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. They are with our cat fosterer.  Sam has just come to us he had been a stray for a while. He was in a bit of a state when we got him but he is now living it up at Kathleens who is feeding him up and getting him back into shape. He is approx 2 yrs old and is semi-long haired, he has a lovely face and is friendly so he was obviously someone's cat. He has had a blood test thats why he is shaved on his neck and he is healthy, we have had him neutered and he will be fully vaccinated and microchipped. He will be ready for homing in a couple of weeks when he is back to full condition but can be visited at our cat fosterers so please contact us for details.
