Jake
Saturday 6th November 2021
My personal journey ended with Jake as he left me last week for a whole new life ... Jake has settled into his new home so well, he was running round exploring everywhere, confident and happy. Meeting Jess the resident dog went very well and the two have become very close ... It was so important for Jake to have a steady confident role model and he certainly has that in Jess who is wonderful with him. (Jess is also a Rescue) Fabulous home, Lovely knowledgeable people, who already love and adore Jake, and as they said this morning Jake is already a part of their lives. I am so proud of this little boy who survived against all…

Tessa
Friday 29th October 2021
Beautiful Tessa has had a wonderful trial period, she settled in very well within the home and also with the resident dogs.... A little piece written by her new owner.... ' After years of successfully training and riding horses I decided to have a go at Agility with my dog Pip a Collie X Working Cocker Spaniel . I found an experienced Trainer and our journey started.

Bandit out for his first season .... So Proud of this boys rehoming in more ways than one ... Gundog for him , Running Partner for her , and children involved with care and Training .. Just perfect ...... 'We had our first day yesterday, I was umming and arhhing about giving him a run out, glad I did. 3 drives. He pushed boundaries a couple of times ie deafness setting in😂, (but nothing horrendous)but I think it's just him getting to involved in what he's doing and suddenly realises and returns. Absolutely rock steady with pheasants around his feet and to gun shot. He had a couple of good retrieves one on a running large cock bird,…

Change to Trial period...
Wednesday 6th October 2021
We have changed our policy with Our rehoming Trial Periods having listened to feedback from New adoptive owners ... Whilst many dogs adjust and settle in their new homes as if they have always been there .. there are on occasions some that don't and it's these situations we want to address .. It can be difficult when you open up your heart and home to welcome a new addition in to your life to find you connect on some levels but not on others ... The dogs need time to adjust to you as much as you need time to adjust to them... Some people have said they questioned had they done the right thing bringing a new…

The two little Terriers have been adopted together into a wonderful home with a young girl aged 6 years who has been instrumental and the key to these two girls moving forward !

Jessie & Kiera
Wednesday 15th September 2021
These two little girls came in just over 3 weeks ago frightened of humans .. in fact I will go so far as to say Terrified !! I likened them to semi feral .. like meer cats .. having found their lookout tower on the wall and darting here and there .. taking a bite of their food and running away to eat it then coming back for more ! In 3 weeks barriers have been broken.... We have had to seperate them to eat as Kiera was eating everything and Jessie was becoming leaner causing concern ... we now have placed Jessie in a crate to eat .. Kiera has her own little space and both…
