THE team at a North Wales animal rescue centre is looking for new homes for their furry residents.

North Clwyd Animal Rescue (NCAR) have cats, dogs, horses and some smaller animals, all hoping to find their forever home.

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.

Bodie, waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

Bodie, waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

• Hound Bodie arrived recently with us as a stray. He is a very shy and timid boy when he first meets you, but given time, he is coming out of his shell each day. He is looking for a very quiet and calm home environment, where he can build up his confidence in his own time, so we feel a home with teenagers 16+ would be best suited. Due to his shy nature he is a big flight risk currently, with an understanding and dedicated owner this will hopefully turn around given time. Since arriving, we have introduced Bodie to different dogs on site and he thoroughly enjoys their company. We definitely feel Bodie would be best suited with another dog, but a calm and confident dog would suit him best. Bodie definitely is not house trained but advise and guidance will be given to any potential adopters. Being a hound Bodie would not be suitable to live with cats or other small furries. We can tell Bodie hasn't had the best start in life, but already we are seeing the loving and gentle nature coming through, so we know that given time in his new home, he will be a real heartbreaker.

Forest waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

• Forest is a sweet girl who was dumped and due to this, we have no background information on her and have no idea where she came from. Since being found she has been friendly with cattery staff and likes attention. She is looking for a home with a good outdoor space for her to explore once she has settled in to her new home. She doesn't seem keen on other cats in the cattery environment, so we feel she will be better in a home as the only pet. Forest can be rehomed with children 12+. Overall she is a lovely, pretty girl and we hope a home comes along soon for her.

Max waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

• Puppy Max is a very handsome boy who was signed over to us. He is a really sweet but cheeky boy who has been taking everything in his stride. He loves meeting new people and getting lots of fuss and we have already started introducing him to other dogs. He can be a little wary of dogs that are bigger than him but we think that this is purely down to a lack of experience with them. We feel that Max would really benefit from going to a home with another dog who is sociable and confident, so at this time we will not be considering homes for him where he is the only pet. We would ideally be looking for a home with sight hound experience but this is not essential. Max is looking for a home with older teenagers. Max was sadly taken away from his mum and siblings when he was only six-weeks-old, he has missed out on vital time with his siblings and due to this he is quite nippy (which is typical of a lurcher puppy too). Although he is adorable, he will not be the easiest and may need extra work and input than most other puppies. He will require plenty of training including house training, lead work and basic manners. Due to him only being young, we feel he is best suited to a home where he won't be left on his own for very long, and for that to be built up gradually to prevent him developing separation anxiety. We are expecting a high amount of interest in this lad but as it is so vital we get the right home for him, we will be selecting his home carefully.

• Little Kitty is a sweet older girl who came into our care after her owner sadly passed away. She is a really nice girl who we are quite fond of! She is looking for a home with a good outdoor space for her to explore once she has settled in as she has previously been used to going in and out and lived in a quiet cul-de-sac. She is looking for a fairly quiet home without children in the home but has been used to visiting children in her previous home. Little Kitty is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and have all of the attention to herself!

Milo waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

Milo waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

• Milo is a stunning boy who came into our care through social services due to no fault of his own. He is only a young boy who unfortunately been passed around different homes and hasn't had much work put into him, so he is looking for somebody who has the time to train and socialise him. He is a very friendly boy who loves to meet new people! He can be quite full on at times and jumps up to greet people but we have been working on this, which will need to be continued when he goes to a new home. Milo is a strong boy and can be quite reactive towards other dogs when out on walks, we have started to get him used to walking on a gencon which makes it much easier to handle him in certain situations. We have been doing some slow introductions with some other dogs and this will continue to be a work in progress when he goes to his next home. Our behaviour team at NCAR will be working alongside whoever takes on Milo to ensure that he continues to improve. He is looking for a home with sensible older children 14+ and unfortunately can't be homed with cats or small furries. We feel that he does have the potential to live with another dog, but this would require lots of meet and greets beforehand. He will be better suited to a home with someone who enjoys long walks and is willing to do some training with him as he is a really clever boy with lots of potential. Ideally he needs a home where he won't be left on his own for more than two to three hours at a time.

Jack waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

Jack waiting to be adopted at NCAR.

• Jack came into our care after his owner sadly passed away. He is a quiet, calm lad here in the cattery but we can imagine him being playful and cheeky once he's settled into a home. He is looking for a quiet home as this is what he has been used to previously, he has lived with just one elderly man and hasn't been around children before as far as we know. He likes a fuss and receiving attention but can be timid at times. Jack would need a couple of litter trays in his next home as he doesn't seem to like using the same one twice. Overall he is a lovely, easy going lad who we hope finds a new home soon.
