Can you help these Lanarkshire pooches looking for new homes?

Staff at Canine Campus in Rutherglen are on the lookout for foster carers and forever homes for the lovable pooches in their care.

They are currently looking to find forever homes for three of the dogs at their base.

A spokeswoman from the charity told Lanarkshire Live: “We have Jagger, a one-year-old Romanian stray saved from the kill shelter a year ago.

“He was handed back six months ago, sadly emaciated.

“Our vets handed in a report to the SSPCA against his previous owners.

“He’s gone through a behaviour rehabilitation programme as he was fearful of everything.

“But now he’s back to being a big bouncy chubby pup as he should be at his age.

“He’s looking for a child-free home and is amazing with other dogs and is crate trained. He walks like a dream on the lead.”

The charity also has beautiful puppies in their care at the moment.

The spokesperson added: “Our two puppies are from Romania and sadly the government there is doing a stray dog cleanse.

“It means all the dogs that are captured and unclaimed are put to sleep.

“We fundraise to bring them to Scotland to help save the lives of all dogs there.

“They are assessed and trained by our foster team and rehomed. Both pups, male and female, are mongrels.”

The two puppies named Willow and Denny are both good with other dogs and with children over the age of five.

Canine Campus is also currently on the lookout for foster carers for both cats and dogs.

The spokesperson continued: “We are always looking for foster families. We have a team of 50 volunteers running the rescue and have no paid staff.

“Fosters help get our dogs ready for a family environment and give them the best start of a new life.

“We provide everything for their stay which is anything from two weeks to two months on average. We have volunteer fostering posts available.

“Our foster team is never out of pocket and has 24/7 support by our resident trainer, Kellyann, who has trained all our volunteers and the dogs for free since starting her role within the charity.

“We also have a few cats looking for an emergency foster as well as dogs waiting to be brought into us whose owners no longer want them.”

For anyone interested in adopting or fostering any of the dogs or cats at the rescue, please contact the charity via their website.
