James is a lovely young boy- still a playful puppy who loves his toys and his runs, he is showing that he has a beautifully affectionate and placid nature. He is very friendly with all people he meets, but he does give a good warning bark when strangers arrive. James is toilet trained, and loves being inside with his humans- he enjoys stretching out by your feet for a doze or just following you around everywhere (and bringing you tennis balls to throw...). James is excellent with children, and doesn't jump up. He gets very excited and pulls a bit when walking on his lead, but that's slowly improving. James sits on command and travels well in the car. He will probably be (medium to) large size when he's fully grown. He would be great as either an only dog (with lots of human attention!) or with a pooch companion as he is excellent with other dogs. He is currently living with a female labrador and they get along wonderfully.

Bandit is a friendly and sweet boy that is used to children and dogs. As he was victimised by the resident cat and dog in his previous home he needs a quieter home where any resident cats and/or dogs would accept him readily. He would also love a home where he was the only pet.

is a pretty easy going sort of guy and is no trouble at all. He's quite friendly with everyone right away. When he meets you he will rub himself against you and give a little meow to say hello. He really loves to be patted and gently scratched behind his ears, on his cheeks and under his chin. When you stop he will politely ask you to give him more pats by meowing and stretching out his neck for more. He loves his food and will tell you when it's time for dinner. His meowing is not incessant though he only quietly meows when he's trying to tell you something which is funny like he thinks he can talk. It can be fun trying to figure out what each meow means. He's interested in what's going on around him and will sometimes follow you from room to room. When he's got a nice full belly and it's time for a nap he's either on a chair next to you, laying stretched out across the floor or he may decide your lap looks just right and settles to sleep on you. Salem is pretty wary of dogs and doesn't really like them at present but he is becoming more curious about them since none of the dogs he currently lives with are a danger to him. He enjoys catching flying insects and sunning himself near a window. Overall Salem is a pretty even tempered cat, relaxed and easy to handle. He is litter trained.

Sally is a lovely, friendly girl who adores people. She would be best suited to someone home all day as she can get stressed when left alone.

Marc: Male White with black tail patch.

Mark learns fast, really fast, having mastered the sit and stay with 2 tries, he would probably excel at training given the chance, he has a spark about him that lights up the room. Full of fun he loves to explore, play ball and generally be around people. Update 25/9/06: Marc has settled down since his siblings were rehomed and is finding life relaxing. He enjoys a ball game following in mums shadow and wrestling to get the ball first. He is full of fun and life yet is happy to sleep most of the day away when I'm at work and is a quite boy who doesn't bark much at all.

A very affectionate boy, He is very generous with his purr and likes to follow you around and just be close to you. Still very playful big kitten!

she is just very very sweet natured and quiet. She loves to sit in your lap for cuddles, comes when called. She is good with other dogs and really likes children

Tiska is 46.5cms tall to the top of her shoulders so she is a very large sheltie. She is a little shy when she first meets people but then she is very friendly. While she is great with older kids she is not at ease with the constant attention that small children give. She is good with other dogs and is an affectionate girl who really does not like too much attention as she prefers to come to you for cuddles. She loves to play and her favourite toy is a squeaky toy that she spends hours playing a tune on. She is house trained and sleeps inside and snuggles down when we all go to bed and does not move until we get up and she is put outside for her business. Tiska is just a sweet little girl.
