Meet Rocky:

This lovely man is Rocky, he is nervous to begin with but has lots of love to give once he has had time to get to know you.

He can get very bouncy and excitable at times and has a heart of gold. He loves to snuggle up with you on the sofa. As he is a sensitive boy, it may take him longer to feel settled and comfortable in his new home.

Natalie who overseas the rehoming element at Wood Green spoke about the challenges that they face as an organisation to get animals rehomed.

Natalie said: "Every pet gets checked within the first 48 hours that we receive them and then have a bit of a write up which has behaviour information and medical information, we then go out and look for the right homes for these animals.

“There is a huge variety of reasons why pets are handed into us, it could be lifestyle based reasons such as they are moving house and can’t take the pets with them or there might have been a relationship break down."

Natalie also stressed it's really important that people take the time to consider whether they can care for a pet.

Natalie said: “If anyone is interested in getting a pet of any description from anywhere, my top advice is to do your research.

“Really consider the pet that you feel is going to be best suited to you and understand what that pet is going to need."
