Some beloved pets that were being housed at Douglas Paws and Claws and in need of a helping hand to start the new year have received just that after recently being rehomed in their new forever pads.

A short time ago Douglas Paws and Claws confirmed a whopping six shelter animals had been re-homed to reinforce a great start to January.

Newsport wishes Cookie, Bam, Ivy, Maisy, Eddy and Meadow all the best with their new families.
