Princess sadly came to us after she was found abandoned, tied up behind some buildings with a painful eye condition, since then we have learned it is not her first time in rescue but sadly most of her life has been spent in rescue.
Princess recovered well and has been a staff favourite at our centre with her loveable nature, her non stop kisses and her eagerness to please! Whether you just want to chill, go for a long calm walk or curl up and watch a movie princess is just happy to spend her day with you.
Princess does have nervous tendencies given her past and being a Corso mix this is normal but something she happily tries to work through with her people for some yummy treats!
Princess’ ideal family
- Princess can live with older teens (she’s a bouncy girl!)
- Can live with other dogs (She can be a bit rude when playing so a confident dog that can correct her)
- Willing to continue her training
- Confident with young silly, bouncy dogs
- Ideally experience with Guardian breed dogs
-Secure 5-6ft Garden
- I can't be left alone
- You`ll need to take me to training classes
- I`d prefer not to live with a cat
- I may be able to live with another dog
- I`m a gentle giant(big and strong)
- I could live with children of secondary school age

Belle is an amazing pooch who has already been through so much in her short life and sadly has spent a lot of time in kennels after having a lack of socialisation in her life before coming to us. For this reason, we are looking for a family that has had experience owning/working with working breed dogs and/or reactive large breed dogs. They must also be willing to work with and understand Belle and her nervous nature.
We have been working alongside a behaviourist with Belle and she is doing amazingly well – so her new family will need to keep up her plan and continue this in the new home. Things like continuing to use her ‘Mat’ when in the home or out around scary things, her 1,2,3 loose lead walking and her engage/disengage routines.
Belle can be unsure of new people and situations and so we need a home that will allow Belle to live life at her pace without added pressures and teach her how fun life can be but in a way that she is comfortable with. This could include things like, Scent Work or Tracking sports, lots of confidence building and brain games at home before going on adventures at quieter times of the day and building on that – we are happy to offer any adopters additional behavioural support with this so for that reason we are looking for a home for Belle that is local to our rehoming centre.
We know that Belle needs an adult only, low traffic household as people coming and going can upset her and a home without other pets while she needs her additional support. She is very shepherd vocal about certain situations, and this can include dogs but every day we are supporting her and this is getting better.
Once she is comfy Belle is your typical chatty, loving and loyal shepherd! She will make someone an amazing addition to their family!
For more information or to register an interest in Belle please email us on customerservices@rspcasheffield.org - and we will happily talk to any potential matching families.

- I`d prefer an adult only household

Mary

Breed: Chow Chow
Species: Dog
Size: Small
Gender: Female
Color: Black
Here is what her foster family have to say about her” We were worried that as a chow chow she’d take some work to warm up to us, but after 48hrs of settling in she became a completely different character, she’s a really sweet and affectionate girl! She loves a cuddle and gives very nice kisses. She’s completely unfazed by household things and likes to snooze most of the time. Her favourite perch is on the stairs where she can people watch through the window or snoring on her bed by the radiator. She’s slowly becoming a more frequent visitor to the sofa for a cuddle and slept for 30 minutes while being brushed! She’s still a bit weary of the bath but with cream cheese and peanut butter she copes just fine. She’s only been left once so far but didn’t cause any trouble and gave us a lovely greeting when we came home. She’s super food motivated and very eager to please upon presentation of her dinner! However we have bought her a slow feeder as she gets a bit too excited for her food .She walks nicely on a lead and is no trouble at all when out, but is a typical chow chow and can be a bit stubborn if she finds somewhere she particularly wants to go! But don’t let her regal vibes fool you… she’s a total softie at heart and we have found that she can be such a snuggle bum... when she wants! She loves being loved bless her! Cuddles, gentle chats, and being told she’s the prettiest girl (because she is)
Here she has made a fair few dog friends and is happy to spend her time with them, so we feel aslong as the personalities match up Mary could live with another dog. Her ideal home is one with secondary school age and over children to better understand her nature.
It is very important that people have experienced or researched her breed before applying - her personality and health issues are common of chows so we need people that understand this and will support Mary with everything she needs.
- I may be able to live with another dog
- I could live with children of secondary school age
- I walk nicely on a lead
- I`m quiet but full of love
- I`d prefer not to live with a cat
- I can be left alone for short periods
Fuzzabelle

Breed: Persian
Species: Cat
Size: Small
Gender: Female
Color: Tabby
Age: 7 years 0 months

Fuzzabelle will need a family experienced with the breed who can carry on the essential work we have been doing around grooming and positive experiences with it. We have had to have her shaved down and start again to make this process pain free and doable while managing her coat. She does also have the commons of needing an eye bathe and having to have a hydrolysed diet of hills I/D to help her body break down food and hold the nutrients correctly - all common Persian things!
Fuzz is a force to be reckoned with! She is independent, she is dramatic and she is the moment haha! Fuzz knows what she does and doesn’t want or like and she really isn't afraid to tell you off if you overstep your mark, push her boundaries or if she feels like it! Fuzz can get overstimulated and be a little sharp and pointy in those moments so it's important her new family can accept when Fuzz needs some me time and to relax! On the other hand she can, when she wants to, be a very affectionate and playful little lady but you just have to build up a bond a little first - and if you don't it can take Fuzz a while to forgive and forget!
Fuzz came to us with limited information about her back ground but has blossomed into a wonderful little diva! And her new family will be entertained daily by her! She can be easily spooked by new people and situations so a patient and understanding home with no additional pressure is a must. Breed experience is also needed and any children be cat experienced and secondary school age and over. No other pets is best to so Fuzz can have all the love!
Could that be you?

Dahlia - D is our queen who does have a sassy streak! She is quite an aloof character and any physical interactions are always when she instigates them - as she isn't afraid to tell you off with a hiss or swipe when she doesn't want it! But she is more than happy being with humans and accompanying them but just not necessarily a lap cat. Life is much better for D taking it at her pace, when she is pushed too far or overwhelmed she will retreat and hide so it's very important to find her a home where everything is in her control.

Chanterelle

The way Chanterelle has been treated has understandably left some mental scars on her. She can be easily spooked and at first found new people and situations daunting. She doesn't like to be confined too. Our poor girl has seen the worst of humanity so we can't blame her for being more cautious than other cats.
However, once this little lady has a relationship with you and trusts you all of her worries and fears just melt away. She adores having a fuss and will happily come and give you plenty of headbumps and purrs. We honestly feel that now she knows she is safe and loved, it is time to have her move into her forever home and continue her learning and socialising with an understanding and experienced family that won't add any pressures to her. We think a home where she is the only pet and where any children are older and nervous cat experienced is best so they can also support our little lady through her worries and troubles.
We know our girl has so much love to give and so much more personality to shine through - could you be the one that gives Chanterelle the home and love she deserves after her ordeal?

The way Amanita has been treated has understandably left some mental scars on her. She is very unsure of new people and things and can be very easily spooked. She doesn't like to be confined and will always take the slow and steady approach to try and suss you out first. Our poor girl has seen the worst of humanity so we can't blame her for being more cautious than other cats.

We think a home where she is the only pet and where any children are older and nervous cat experienced is best so they can also support our little lady through her worries and troubles.
Aminita will need monitoring as she transitions into a home as although nothing physical can be diagnosed she does at times have a funny gait so we will be placing her on a two week foster to adopt initally so we can support her new family if giving her more space amplifies this.
We know our girl has so much love to give and so much more personality to shine through - could you be the one that gives Amanita the home and love she deserves after her ordeal?

Rufus

Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Species: Cat
Size: Medium

His beauty is undeniable, but what truly makes him special is his quiet courage. Life hasn’t given Rufus many chances to shine—he hasn’t met many people, and his world so far has been very small. Because of this, he’s incredibly nervous, and new experiences can feel overwhelming for him
But here’s the thing: behind that cautious exterior is a cat who wants to trust, who wants to feel safe, and who is bravely taking small steps every day toward that goal. Rufus is not aggressive or difficult... he’s simply shy and unsure, and he needs someone who understands that trust takes time.
What Rufus Needs: - A calm, patient home where he won’t be rushed or pressured - Someone who can offer him space to settle at his own pace- A family that celebrates small victories... because for Rufus, every tiny step forward is a triumph. He’s not the cat who will instantly curl up in your lap. But if you give him the gift of time and kindness, you’ll see him blossom. The first time he approaches you for a gentle head rub, the first time he plays with a toy, the first time he purrs... those moments will mean the world, because they’ll be hard-earned and full of trust. He’s brave in his own quiet way, and he deserves a home that sees that. With the right person, Rufus will learn that the world isn’t so scary after all.
If you have a peaceful home and a big heart, Rufus could be your perfect match. He’s waiting for someone who believes in second chances and understands that the most rewarding bonds are the ones built slowly, with love.

The girls came to us after a change in their owners circumstances meant they couldn't stay where they were. Upon arrival the girls were a little overwhelmed and unsure - moving into the cattery can be a big thing! Especially for cats like these girls who are a little more sensitive. Fast forward a few weeks and they have settled a little and started to show us their full personalities.
Both girls are now showing us a more affectionate and interactive side of them. Both coming to their carers for fusses and head bumps and wanting to spend time with and around us - some days they are very enthusiastic about affection and fuss and others they aren't. Mira is slightly more confident and forward coming but both girls do like their independence - all interactions are as and when they want them, otherwise they are happy going off exploring together or just sitting with you to keep you company. Both ladies love their treat toys and Rya enjoys a play session with her fishing rod toy.
Rya and Mira are a lovely blend of independence and company for someone and we can't wait to see them on their forever sofa, is that with you?
*The girls will need to return to the centre for their second vaccination so any families interested must be willing to return here for that appointment*

Mira on arrival was more cautious and a slow burner in terms of her interactions with her carers and her reaction to a new environment. We feel she is more sensitive than Rya and that really showed in those early days. She would always hang back and although curious, she would take a little more time to come round and relax.
Fast forward a few weeks and now she is settled Mira has shown us her true personality! We think she may always be a more cautious girl and will always prefer to observe and take things at her pace initially but once she is comfortable and happy with you we can confirm she is a very sweet little lady! She will now come and chat at the door to the visitors we get on the cattery and with the carers that she has seen the most and is used to she will have a play and cuddle! She really is a gentle soul and will make someone a fantastic companion!
Due to her being happy with a slower pace of life we feel she would be better suited to a home with secondary school age children and over and a home without other pets so she can fully relax and enjoy life again!
Are you looking for a new friend? Could Mira be the one for you?

Lucky

Breed: Pointer Cross
Species: Dog
Size: Large

Lucky is a mix breed pooch but we do know that his most dominant breed is pointer. We believe him to be a pointer lab mix - so a very goofy and extremely clever boy! Lucky is larger than life in size and personality! He is a very lanky boy who potentially still has some growing to do - with love, we compared him to a small donkey! And he also has the personality to match! He is very out there, very bouncy and very silly! He has the pointer stare down to a T! And is quite intense with his carers so experience of pointers really would be beneficial to better read and understand our Lucky boy!
He enjoys training and learning and is very food driven which will help his new family a lot with supporting him. While here he has made it clear he doesn't like being left by vocalising and at times spinning so his new family must be clued up on separation anxiety and willing to help and support Lucky with this. While here he has met other dogs and also uses his voice in these situations too! He can eventually walk calmly at a distance with dogs but this will also be a working progress for Lucky - from the way he is, it seems to us he may have missed out on vital socialising as a baby so his new family will have a big adult dog with a puppys outlook on how to interact and be around dogs.
Lucky will be a little work when he moves in, we know this. But with what he has been through and the resilience he has shown we know he will be such an amazing addition to the right family who will support, forgive and allow him to be his true self! Through things like breed specific enrichment and fun activities that don't just include walks.

Walter - Wally

Breed: Cavapoo
Species: Dog
Size: Small
Gender: Male
Color: Grey
Age: 1 years 4 months

Since arriving he has been nothing but a joy - constantly wiggling his fluffy bottom and just been a happy little fella to everyone he meets, including the canine variety and even the vets! He can sometimes take a few minutes to warm up to certain people but this is rare and even when he is nervous he really doesn’t take long before he is your best friend - a slow and steady approach goes a long way for Wally.
Wally adores to be with you and loves going on adventures. He will climb up onto your knee for fusses, cuddles and kisses! Once he is relaxed in your company he will show you his fantastic zoomies and even bring you his favourite ball. Any new family will also need to keep up with regular grooming for Wally to keep his coat mat free and healthy. We would also advise research on small poodle cross breeds, so you know what to expect from him moving forward. We think it's also worth noting this little lad is very clever and has a brain that seems to always be ticking so he may LOVE being involved with trick training and fun dog sports and enrichment, not just physical exercise!
With his friendly nature we think he will be ok to live with dog savvy secondary age children, and we would consider younger children if dog experienced. We will of course do meets to make sure everyone is comfortable.
While here Wally has made a number of dog friends and is very happy to go on potters with them. We think with the right introduction and canine that Wally could potentially live with a doggy friend. With Wally being young and sometime nervous - a confident young and playful pooch might be better for him.
Wally will make great addition to any family!
