A number of pets in Dorset are looking for their forever homes, including at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre.

Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.

A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.

To help the Ashley Heath Animal Centre carry on their work you can donate to their website here.

Gender - Female

Age - Two years old

Breed - Collie (Smooth coat) crossbreed

Colour - Tan/White

If you want to adopt Taylor you can view their full profile here.

Taylor came into the care of the RSPCA after being removed from a situation where she was living in unsuitable conditions.

She has led an extremely sheltered life with limited human interactions, so will take some time to adjust to new surroundings.

Taylor will need patient owners who are happy to show her the ropes of a home environment, which includes housetraining.

She is not used to travelling in a car or being in busy situations so she would suit a more rural home where she can go for quiet, local walks.

Destiny has a slight heart murmur which can be common in cats and may never hinder her normal day-to-day activities.

Additionally, she is not to be rehomed within five miles of Southampton (SO16) and may get used to living with another cat or dog if a suitable match
