Southampton cats and dogs looking for a forever home

These rescue cats and dogs currently live at the Second Chance Animal Rescue (SCAR) in Mansbridge and are looking for a family to give them a loving home.

But be warned - these lovable animals look cute and cuddly, but many will need a significant amount of time and training.
