Six pets waiting to find their forever homes have recently been given a taste of domestic bliss.
The rescue dogs at the Dogs Trust Glasgow centre have been taken by staff and volunteers for overnight stays and weekends away providing the animals with a respite from kennel life.
This initiative also helps staff note how each dog adapts to a home setting aiding their re-homing efforts.
Sandra Downie, manager at Dogs Trust Glasgow Rehoming Centre, said: All dogs want to love and be loved, and it can be hard to see our amazingly loveable dogs spend so long in our care without much interest.
“Seeing how they behave and react within a home environment is so important when helping us find the right home for every dog.
“We couldn’t achieve all that we do without our fantastic foster carers, staff and volunteers who open their homes and hearts to our dogs and it’s the perfect time to share the stories of our six stunners each waiting to find true love.”
Among the Dogs Trust’s canines is Captain, a 10-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, known for his loving nature and a fondness for close company.
Volunteer Nicola frequently welcomes Captain into her home describing him as a “massive snuggle bug who loves attention and back scratches.”
Nine-year-old Dobermann Duke has grown fond of playing fetch and has advanced brilliantly in his training.
Foster carer John recently hosted Duke and described him as a “wonderful companion.”
Ten-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Jack is a fun-loving boy who enjoys a snooze on an armchair located peculiarly in his kennel.
Jack, being a homebody, spends frequent nights with Rehabilitation Trainer Greg, who calls him a “fabulous best pal.”
Also waiting for the perfect family is Jupiter, a five-year-old Dobermann cross who is affectionate.
Jupiter has become a favourite guest in foster homes where his love for close company and cuddles shines through.
Rachael, a Rehabilitation Trainer, often shares her home with Rania, a crossbreed of six who initially shies away from strangers but quickly warms up to become an affectionate companion.
Describing Rania as a delight to have at home, Rachael said Rania leaves the house fully house-trained and is very affectionate.
Sebastian is an eight-year-old Lurcher who thrives on human company and enjoys a good mental challenge.
Sebastian is also familiar with living in a home environment, furthering his readiness to be adopted.
