The staff and volunteers at the Trelogan-based charity, in Flintshire, know the animals as individuals, and therefore know what kind of home they are more likely to thrive in.

Whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or horse, staff are on hand to advise on the character and suitability of each.

They also make sure potential new owners are aware of the ongoing costs of a pet, including food and vet bills, which can often be for unexpected treatment.

But thankfully there are plenty of responsible, loving people and families looking to give an animal a loving new home.

And there are always animals of all types, ages and needs that will be the perfect match.

Here we meet just some of those at NCAR looking for a new home...

• For more details, please visit ncar.org.uk or if you would like to support the charity without adopting, you can visit their cafe, open from 10.30am to 3.30pm. They also accept donations at the centre between 10am and 4pm.

You can also help by fundraising, sponsoring a kennel or supporting one of the NCAR charity shops in the region.

Buzz up for adoption with NCAR.

• Buzz is approximately three-years-old and has come into our care via a vets practice after he was dumped there, so unfortunately we have no history on him. However, he is a friendly, chatty lad who likes a fuss. He is looking for a home with children 12+. Buzz will need a home with a good outdoor space for him to explore once he has settled in.

Molly up for adoption with NCAR.

• 17-year-old Molly is a lovely friendly pony, she has previously been used as a riding pony and could be a ridden pony again in the right home.

Beatrice up for adoption with NCAR.

• Beatrice is a very sweet girl who came into us as a stray, unfortunately she was not claimed so she is now looking for her forever home. She has been very friendly towards everyone she has met and really loves to sit and cuddle. She is also very energetic and loves to go on long walks. She walks pretty well on lead and enjoys taking her time having a good sniff. Beatrice can be quite vocal towards other dogs sometimes, but when she has been introduced slowly she has been fine. Beatrice can be homed with sensible children 7+ who will get involved in her training but also give her space when she requires it.

Coco up for adoption with NCAR.

• Coco is a sweet girl who came into our care due to an allergy in the home, she has lived with four children in her previous home so can be rehomed with sensible children 10+. Her previous owner did say she can sometimes only like attention on her terms but is friendly also. She is looking for a home with a safe outdoor area for her to explore once she has settled in. Coco would prefer to be the only pet in the house.

Lotti up for adoption with NCAR.

• Lotti is 16 and looking for someone who will appreciate her kind, loving, intelligent nature. She is a gentle soul with excellent manners who loves being pampered, spending time with people and fits in easily with other horses. She is only available for rehoming as a companion. Lotti is retired from ridden work due to being diagnosed with kissing spines.

Toby up for adoption with NCAR.

• Meet cockerpoo Toby, he is a very a charming young lad. He has a liver shunt which makes it hard to determine his life expectancy. However, his condition is currently managed through medication, and we are committed to providing lifelong support for him. Though he’s adorable, he does exhibit some challenging behaviours, such as separation anxiety, and he may become nippy if he gets too attached to someone and they try to leave him, even to go to another room. Despite being placed in a home, he was returned due to these behaviours. To help address these issues, he requires a strict environment with well-defined boundaries and a designated space. We are more than happy to provide guidance to any potential adopters.
