Seven adorable dogs currently in the care of the RSPCA and Blue Cross in Suffolk are seeking loving new homes in Ipswich and the surrounding areas.
From playful puppies to mature companions, these furry friends are ready to bring joy and companionship to local families willing to open their hearts and homes.
Phoenix
Phoenix is a 5-month-old female Turkish Kangal from Suffolk rehoming centre. She's a giant breed puppy who will grow to be a large, powerful dog. Phoenix is playful and affectionate but needs an experienced owner who can provide plenty of space, exercise, and continued training. She could potentially live with teenagers and other dogs, but not cats.
Beano
Beano is a 3-year-old male Patterdale Terrier looking for an active home. He's social and energetic, enjoying games like tug-of-war. Beano needs a family willing to keep him on a lead outdoors due to his tendency to chase wildlife. He could potentially live with older children who are used to lively dogs.
Mabel
Mabel is a 4-year-old female Bulldog described as goofy, funny, and cuddly. She's a sensitive soul who loves toys and treats. Mabel is looking for an adult-only home where she can be the only pet. She needs owners who understand the health considerations of brachycephalic breeds and can provide regular exercise to manage her weight.
Ruby
Ruby is a one-year-old female Dobermann seeking an active but quiet adult-only home. She needs experienced owners who can provide continued training, enrichment, and a secure environment. Ruby is food-motivated and intelligent and bonds strongly with her handlers. Ruby requires a rural/semi-rural setting with a fully fenced garden.
MJ
MJ is an active and clever 4-year-old female crossbreed who needs patient owners to help her overcome anxiety in certain situations. She may live with teenagers and possibly another dog, but not cats or small animals. MJ requires positive, reward-based training and a home where she won't be left alone for long periods.
Aubrey
Aubrey is a 2-year-old male Cockapoo who is nervous around men and needs an adult-only, female-only home. He needs experienced owners who are willing to visit him regularly at the centre before adoption to build trust. Aubrey is energetic and affectionate, thriving on playtime and attention. He would do best in a rural area with minimal traffic and visitors.
Missy
Missy is a 9-year-old female Labrador Retriever recovering from neglect. She's sweet-natured and enjoys human company. Missy may live with children over 13 and possibly another dog. She needs ongoing medical care, including medicated baths. Missy is easygoing and gets along well with other dogs, making her suitable for various home environments with a secure garden.
The bottom line: These seven dogs are waiting for their forever homes, and you could be the one to provide them. If you're considering pet adoption, contact the RSPCA or Blue Cross in Suffolk to learn more about these lovable canines and the adoption process. Your new best friend might be just a phone call away.
