Penny
Sunday 18th June 2023
Pink was the colour of the day even down to Penny's new collar ... Today was Penny's Adoption Day and you can see how much she has grown in the past two weeks since her viewing. We were out early this morning then home for breakfast and a bath so she looked her best ... I have thoroughly enjoyed this little one ...it has been a joy to watch her develop into a healthy, confident, calm, happy, laid back, loving young pup. Penny you have so much to offer and your world is about to open up with lots of fun and adventures. May you be a shining light for your new family

Amber
Monday 1st May 2023
A Story in pictures .... Amber is a Approx 3 years old, Tri coloured Spaniel With full tail who came to us from RSPCA Surrey Woking & District Branch. Amber had an injury that previously someone thought they could fix with Superglue ..which became infected and made quite a mess! Surgery was required along with antibiotics to clear up the infection !! stitches were removed last Friday and all has healed well ... Amber was pretty shut down , vocal, very lean with little to no muscle tone and previously had pups! After meeting our dogs she let her guard down and relaxed , and what a joy it has been to watch this girl open up ! If I…
Update on Harley & Flo
Saturday 22nd April 2023
Written by Rachael Flavell Owner of Paws for Conservation ⭐ Great Crested Newt assessment results ⭐ We've completed two days of GCN testing with three of our dogs, Harley, Flo and Stig. These trials were carried out externally by Inside Atkins and consisted of double blinded odour I.D tests and single blind field trials. The dogs were exposed to 19 wild GCN that they have not been previously trained on. They also worked blank areas and blank runs with no false indications. We're delighted to announce that the three dogs scored 100% on all the tests. These trials were not easy, and some of the dogs encountered a few obstacles, which is to be expected. However, we know our dogs and we're able to identify problems,…

Toffee now called Roo has his forever home in Bonnie Scotland .. A young boy who needed discipline, boundaries, guidance and regular exercise to help him move forward . The resident dog Sprocket took a little while to warm to Roo but as the weeks went by he obviously felt this new boy on the scene wasn't so bad plus he now had someone to play chase with ... Roo is living a life he could only have dreamt of with a young couple who live an outdoor lifestyle, and are committed to working with him to help him become the best he can be.

One very special girl.... So very much loved from the day I met her till the day she drew her last breath and beyond..... A dogs only default...They do not live long enough. "I'll lend you for a little while a dog of mine" he said "for you to love and care for and mourn for when she's dead, She may be fourteen-fifteen years, she may be two or three, but will you till I call her back take care of her for me. I searched the whole world over in search of teachers true and from the people on the earth, I chose her just for you You taught her well you should be proud, don't think your labour vain, nor hate me when I come…
DINKY
Sunday 2nd April 2023
Our beautiful Dinky aged 14.5 years makes her final journey on Monday 3rd April.. This will be a very distressing time for us as a family. Dinky has nurtured so many lost souls and been one incredible foster mum to so many abandoned Pups. I will not be accepting any dogs in for a while as I need time to grieve which I hope you understand. Time catches up with us all ......
MILO
Wednesday 15th March 2023
Milo had a successful trial period and has finally settled in his home for life .. A young pup who through no fault of his own was previously in the wrong environment twice over.. when we were asked to help ! Milo was a very popular puppy but after his short chequered past it was vital his new owners had experience with the breed... Milo has the most amazing home with a family who understand the Dachshund Breed, they have Monty who is 5 years old and the same colour as Milo .. These photos taken by the family show the bond developing between Monty & Milo ... I am delighted that little Milo has the security he so deserves and…

Harley
Thursday 16th February 2023
Harley in the final stages of Great crested newt detection. GCN has such a small scent picture compared to a bat carcass, and also combined with the likelihood of the target being buried, the dogs have really had to adapt to more intricate searches to locate their target scent. So very proud of what Harley has achieved with Paws for Conservation
