Home for Christmas?

Hi, my name is Bernie and I’ve been at Cheltenham Animal Shelter for over 400 days now. That’s a very long time and I really don’t know why. I can be a bit nervous with new people, I just want to know I can trust you before I give you all my love. I enjoy a nice walk on the lead, staying close to my humans, and I’m loving the treats I get for learning. I get spoiled whenever I sit, get down, watch or shake paws, and I’m trying to learn more words too. I also fetch things, but actually prefer to run past really fast and show you my toys instead. All that training and running wear me out, then it’s time for cuddles and if you rub my tummy I’ll love you forever. Whilst I like to walk with other dogs, and often get introduced to new ones to help them settle in the shelter, I am looking for a home of my own so I can enjoy all the fuss to myself. I know outdoors is where the toilet is, so I should settle in a home quite quickly, especially if there aren’t any other furries or young children to distract me. I’m hoping for my forever home, but I can be fostered if you want to give me a holiday from the kennels. If you’re interested in meeting me please contact Cheltenham Animal Shelter, they’d miss me, but I know they’d rather I was home with you this Christmas.

Caring Cassie

Hello, I'm Cassie. I'm an old lady now, but I have spent many years in rescue. I'm not sure why as I am not a bad dog, just luck of the draw I guess. I have shared my kennel with many boys over the years, most recently with a middle-aged Lurcher who was really good company. Now I am alone again, but I have a comfy armchair and bed, and a little garden to potter about in. I would love to find my retirement home though. Do you think you could find a space for me on your sofa?
I'm still energetic for my age, l love going out and about and playtime, and I walk well on the lead. I'm very affectionate - that's a bonus isn't it? I love being the centre of attention. I am taking medication for my heart, but my carers say they will carry on paying this expense when I find my new family.
