The Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home have three dogs which are ready to be rehomed immediately.

The home hopes that the trio will have as much good fortune as Maple, a rescue puppy which is now living with her new owner Hannah. The puppy had arrived at the home just eight weeks old requiring intensive care. Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover her treatment, and said the community response was incredible.

Maple’s owner said: “We can’t imagine our home without Maple now, she fits in perfectly. Maple is a cheeky girl who makes us laugh so much. She’s very vocal when she plays with her toys, and it gives us endless entertainment. We’ll forever be grateful to the Home for rescuing our sweet girl.”

Rocco (one year old, Lurcher): A gentle and playful soul who loves exploring the world and curling up for cuddles. Rocco’s sweet nature would make him the perfect companion for an active household that can offer him all the love he deserves. Rocco’s adoption profile
Roy (three years old, Border Collie): A big-hearted, cheeky boy who adores toys, treats, and adventures. Roy thrives in an environment where he can be the star of the show, with no other pets to compete for affection. Roy’s adoption profile
Bear (eight years old, American Bulldog): Bear is a staff favourite, with his puppy like personality he wins over everyone he meets. Bear’s affectionate nature and love for snuggles makes him the perfect couch companion. He also has a playful side and enjoys dashing around with his toys or learning new tricks, especially when treats are involved. Bear thrives in a quiet home with an experienced owner where he can run around in his own garden or relax if he feels overwhelmed. Despite his age, Bear is young at heart and will make a loyal and loving addition to the right family. Bear’s adoption profile

This winter, the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home aims to raise £134,500. Staggering operational costs mean that every penny raised will ensure that the animals of the Home are well cared for this winter and will also help to ensure more happy stories like Maple and the 281 rehomed and reunited pets this year. Daily service costs at the home amount to £7,000. Donations of as little as £10 can provide essential vaccinations for a cat, while £150 could keep all the Home’s dogs warm for the day.

Founded in 1883, Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home has been a lifeline for the community for over 140 years, relying entirely on public donations to sustain its vital work.
