Eclipse is a six-month-old Collie cross looking for a home from Dogs Trust Ilfracombe Rehoming Centre.

Eclipse is now finding his paws after a difficult start to life. His carers are helping him build confidence as he explores the world around him. He is a lively, playful, and boisterous pup who enjoys playing with toys as an outlet for his energy. He loves to play rug- and -tug and likes to run around with his toys in his mouth. Eclipse likes to socialise with other dogs, he has many pals here at the rehoming centre, he enjoys going for walks with them and having a rough and tumble play with suitable playmates. Eclipse is new to basic training, he loves treats, which is a great place to start, he is learning a ‘sit’, he has already picked up on his name response, and he is currently learning that car rides can be fun.

Eclipse has never lived indoors before so will need adopters that are patient and understanding, and have the time to help him settle, and to teach him his basic training, including housetraining. Eclipse will need a home with adults who can help direct his puppy mouthing onto toys. Eclipse will need to be the only dog in the home so he can have all the treats and attention just for him. We have no history of Eclipse with cats, small furries, or livestock. Eclipse would love lots of opportunities to socialise with other canines when out and about.

If you think you could give Eclipse the loving home that he deserves please take a look at his profile on Dogs Trust’s website www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming to begin the virtual adoption process.

Cat of the Month - Biba

Biba is a delightful cat with a quietly friendly temperament who greets you by stretching up on her hind legs, and lifting her head up to your hand. Biba is a sleek and soft beautiful cat who is curious and active. She was initially rather shy but now loves to seek out affection and will happily sit on a lap for a brush or a stroke. Biba is very interested in the outdoors, looking out at the wildlife from the pen window and she loves to curl up in a sun patch while watching the world go by.

Biba will need a peaceful home as the only cat, so that she can have the love and attention that she needs.
