Meet Graff!
From the Streets of Turkey to a Sofa of His Own 💖🤗
Graff, a one year old German Shepherd Cross, recently arrived in our care from a rescue in Turkey. Despite starting life on the streets, he is the most gentle boy who loves nothing more than a few treats and a lot of fuss and attention.
He is a big lad – all long gangly legs and puppyish clumsiness – but those who have met him describe him as a ‘gentle giant’ or a ‘teddy bear’. Sit down near him, give him a moment, and he’ll pad over for a cuddle – then stay right there, head resting on your lap, until he drifts off to sleep.
Graff is still finding his feet with people, especially men, although who could blame him after the start he has had? But every day brings a little more confidence and a little more trust. The wonderful rescue team in Turkey who knew him first say that ‘he loves nature, walks, the sea, and simply enjoying life’.
We would love to find Graff a home with another canine companion as he has always had other dogs by his side. We are also happy that Graff can live with older children who will understand that he hasn’t had the best start in life and who will give him time and space to settle into his new home.
Graff has never lived in a house before, so everything about home life will be new to him. He’ll need housetraining and a good deal of patience as he learns the ropes. But give him a little time and space and you will be rewarded with the most loyal companion.
This boy has waited his whole life for a home: if you think it could be yours then please get in touch.

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
