This lad is 6 year neutered Cesar who is in urgent need of a new home as his owner’s husband has died and is moving to smaller accommodation. He is good with children 10 plus, other dogs and cats. Cesar is not used to being left for long periods of time but is used to living with other dogs and cats. He has basic commands but not let off lead so recall will need work as will lead training. Typically is not keen on other dogs when on lead. This lad is in desperate need of some tlc as he is underweight and obviously not exercised much. A lovely lad who just needs the right environment! Now safely in foster care so updates to follow but already feeling much better for a good bath and brush! This lovely lad having found his forever home very sadly had to be put to sleep due to cancer.  

Say hello to Ziggy. He is 8yrs young, sadly not neutered, not vaccinated or chipped! He is said to be good with children from 4/5yrs upwards, unknown with other dogs and will chase cats. This poor lad spends all day by himself outside so now barks for attention as bored. He does pull on the lead but hardly ever gets out so understandable, no recall as never off lead. This lad really isn’t getting the time he deserves, can anyone offer him a foster or forever home ?

This gorgeous lad, Killie, was probably crossed with a collie and was only 6 years old. Killie had been with his previous home for about 18 months having being rescued, but the family were changing working hours so felt it better he had a new home where he would not be left so long. he was adopted by a wonderful home in Cornwall who already had one of our girls, and within a very short space of time his personality had won them all over. He loved playing with his younger sister and helped to give her more confidence, and gave his older sister a new lease of life again. This poor lad was struck down by bloat very suddenly and despite their best, it was too late to save him. Killie’s family may only have had him a few months but he has left a gaping hole in their home. He was such a character and loved toys and to have a good play and run around on the open fields. Run free now boy.

If Meg were human, she would be one heck of a glamorous grannie and 84 years young.  Like most grannies, she will need a uniquely special home, well you wouldn’t home your grannie with just anyone would you?  Now that Meg’s is being medicated regularly for arthritis, she is re-gaining her muscle strength, & whilst she won’t attempt a flight of stairs, & nor should she, she loves nothing more than to have a stroll to get the paper, or a short trip to the park, a) because she is nosey & likes to see who is about, b) because she loves strutting her stuff, just frolicking free in the sunshine & c) because Meg is happy to take 40 winks by your feet as you take in the views, or chat with neighbours on your stroll.  Her morning skipping is a delight to watch and she happily goes off lead as her re-call is excellent providing she is in hearing distance – slightly deaf, so you will need to shout!  Meg is a bit of a gourmet queen too, as she enjoys her food, relishes treats but only if it is chicken!   Meg likes her water running from...

This is how Roger’s foster mum described him when he came in from the pound: “A lovely old gent, 10yrs young with some of the worst dentistry I have seen for a while, he reminds me of Plug from the Beano mag, 6 teeth thrown from a distance, but have no fear this doesn’t hinder his eating in any way shape or form, he has a great appetite and has put considerably weight on since being in foster. He currently lives with 6 other sheps and 2 terriers and horses which he is absolutely fine with, there are also 3 cats who he isn’t so keen on !!! He is neutered, fully vacs and chipped. Roger has a great outlook on life, loves to play with the other dogs, he is a little stiff at times but he doesn’t seem to notice and just gets on with it. He is a very happy lad who would love a retirement home of his own with no cats please!” Unfortunately poor old Roger has now gone to Rainbow Bridge having developed a tumour on the spleen. He enjoyed life to the full to the end.  

Walter came into the rescue from a Pound in Sheffield after being picked up by the dog warden with a Rottie. Walter was severley underweight and had very advanced Anal Furunculosis which had very obviously never been treated. He went into foster with a menagerie of other animals and thoroughly enjoyed the short time he had left pottering around the fields and eating whatever took his fancy that day! He even accrued his own wardrobe thanks to the generosity of the volunteers who sent him coats of all different types and colours, he left this legacy to all the poor old devils who will arrive at our door in the future. Bless you Walter. xxx  

This is a very tragic story of a loyal dog who at the end of his life was betrayed so badly by the people he thought loved him. Rudi was found by a lady walking through the woods one December afternoon in a terrible state. He was all but stone deaf, almost blind, emaciated and all but dead, stumbling around in the minus temperatures and without a doubt would have died that night. When the dog warden saw him he was shocked and said this was a definite case of neglect and as no one in the small village had ever seen this dog before it was pretty obvious he had been driven there and dumped! He came into foster with us and sadly he was so badly neglected he only lasted just over a week, and I have to say in the very short time I knew this gorgeous gentle boy it broke my heart to watch him die and not be able to do a damn thing about it. R.I.P you gentle man. xx

Benson originally came into rescue as his owners were emigrating leaving him at 10 years old. On arrival it was apparent he had not been medically cared for and poor Benson went through many vet visits and medical treatment to make him comfortable. He loved people and touched everyone that met him. Benson was in long term foster with a lovely couple and their female shep where he was happy and loved for the last year of his life.

This handsome lad came into the rescue through a Dog Warden in Hounslow. He was found in an emaciated state, claws too long, dull coat… They had given him a massive amount of medical help, including 2 days on a drip. Once they had Chance stabilised they asked for our help. Unfortunately it was too late for this poor lad. Whatever damage had been done was irreparable and sheer love and care kept him alive and happy for 6 weeks through the Summer. Chance had the opportunity to love and be loved, and learn to smile again. He told us when the day had come and despite the short amount of time he was with us, he will never be forgotten.  

Ben came into kennels having been taken in by a dog warden in Coventry in an appalling state. Ben’s owner had lost his job and home and they had been living rough for some time. He was taken into foster very soon after arriving at the kennels and certainly enjoyed the comfort of living in a home environment. Our fosterer had nothing but praise for this lad. Ben was adopted by a lovely lady and her 2 female sheps where he spent the last of his days enjoying pottering around the fields.  

Tia came into the rescue at 11 years old having lived in her previous home for 10 years having been thrown out due to the arrival of a new baby!! She was first spotted by one of our vollies on a free ads site for £50!! This absolutely super girl was taken into foster with 2 males and had the time of her life. Foster mum knew she may not have long so offered her a home until the end of her days. Tia may not have had long with her foster family but in that time she had fun, love, tlc and learnt to smile again.
