Animal welfare experts are appealing for a home for a sweet four-year-old Labrador named Rue who is currently staying at Dogs Trust West Calder.
Her carers say Rue is a gentle girl who enjoys life’s simple pleasures – especially tasty treats.
A spokeswoman for Dogs Trust said: “An independent girl, Rue feels most at home in the garden and loves to potter around outside where she can sniff and explore to her heart’s content.
“While she enjoys the quiet life, she also loves to zoom around and play with her favourite soft toys before settling in the sun to snooze.
“Rue has had a difficult start in life and has never lived in a home environment or experienced being part of a family.
“As she is a shy girl who can become overwhelmed in new situations, Rue would like to live in a peaceful adult-only home with someone who can help her continue to grow in confidence, moving at Rue’s pace.
“She would love for her new home to have a large secure garden that she can relax and feel safe in.”
If you think you could provide a home for Rue or any of the 50 dogs currently available for rehoming, please contact West Calder Rehoming Centre on 01506 873459. You can also follow Dogs Trust West Calder on Twitter @DT_WestCalder and Instagram @dogstrust_westcalder for regular updates on dogs available for rehoming.
West Calder Rehoming Centre is currently recruiting volunteers to help with kennel cleaning, laundry, groundskeeping, maintenance and greeting guests in reception. If you are interested in volunteering, please email volunteer coordinator, Garry Lee, at [email protected].
The centre is also seeking new foster carers across the whole of the Lothians and the Scottish Borders to join its Home from Home scheme.

Angus Finney Just as George Banks, Mary Poppins’ bowler-hatted boss sang nearly 60 years ago, bankers demand “precision” when they go to work.
