Hi folks, message from a friend not on Mastodon. If you are interested I can put you in touch.

Want a sweet little puggle friend?? Jake, 11 months old, kennel trained is looking for a new home. His owners are elderly and have health issues so they can no longer keep him.

He needs a home by next Tuesday because the owner is going in for surgery. He's free, and super cute!

🐕 🐈 Mendocino County’s animal shelter is overwhelmed — too many animals coming in, too few going out. Staff say financial strain, lack of vets and rising surrenders are driving the crisis. Here’s how the community can help.

Port Talbot stray Alfie still searching for a forever home after a year in foster care

Alfie, a two‑year‑old lurcher, was found roaming the streets at the end of 2024 and taken in by the Angels for Animals Foundation, which works to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abandoned and abused dogs.

Since then, Alfie has been living in a foster home in Port Talbot, but despite several enquiries following earlier appeals, none have led to a suitable match. Most dogs are rehomed within weeks, making Alfie’s long wait highly unusual.

“An absolute treasure”

Charity founder Katie Harrison‑Holland said:

“For no fault of his own, Alfie has spent much longer than our other dogs with no interest. We need to find him a home where he can start thriving, but unfortunately, we have had no interest in Alfie.

Alfie is a very special dog and whoever adopts him will have an absolute treasure. He is loyal, playful, intelligent and an absolute bundle of energy who loves people.”

Alfie is described as a bouncy and affectionate dog who would suit an experienced owner. He needs a home without children, but could live with or without another dog. He can be left alone for short periods, though ideally his adopter would be home most of the time.

Katie added:

“Alfie is a sensitive boy and a bit unsure around strangers, so would ideally suit a quiet or more rural home. He is a beautiful lurcher with a heart of gold who is more than ready to find his forever home.”

Training support included

The charity says Alfie already has a strong foundation of training, and his foster carer and Angels for Animals will provide ongoing support to help him settle.

“This is a great opportunity to adopt a loving sighthound with a great foundation of training,” Katie said. “Alfie will be a great companion dog for an adopter who wants to be with their dog as much as possible, either in the home or out and about.”

How to adopt Alfie

Anyone interested in giving Alfie a permanent home can find out more and get in touch via the Angels for Animals website: angelsforanimals.org.uk/2025/01/09/alfie/
