HOLLY

Wednesday 12th May 2021

The lovely Holly has had a successful trial and settling in with her new owner who has embraced her with open arms. Holly felt very comfortable in her surroundings and immediately set about checking everything out to ensure it met her standards then went over to the gentleman who lifted her up and there was something special in that moment....... Holly has gone to the Forest of Dean to a retired gentleman who leads a fit and active lifestyle. He has always had dogs, is knowledgeable of the Terrier breed and little Holly will want for nothing. Holly you were a joy to have here, finding your place on the sofa in the evenings and curling up in to the…

Luna

Monday 3rd May 2021

Luna has had a successful trial period in her new home and settled in very well to her new surroundings and also with her new best friend Elvis. Within days they came back to me to say how much they loved her and were enjoying her company. Whilst Luna was here with us she mixed in well with all the dogs, she was a joy to take out and also came on holiday with us to Cornwall for a week, she loved the company, the forest, the sand and the sea and she was a joy. Whilst this was a very hard decision for her previous owner to make I would like to say Thank You for trusting us…

Sadie

Sunday 25th April 2021

Today I said Goodbye to Sadie as she was ready for the next stage of her life.. her forever home. Sadie arrived from the RSPCA Surrey Woking & District Branch a very poorly shut down girl needing help.... They did not want to place her in kennels as it would not have been in her best interests so we were asked if we would like to take her in and of course the answer was yes. Sadie has moved forward in leaps and bounds having gained weight with a lovely rounded rear, her bones no longer protruding!! her coat is shiny, She is clear of Mange, her bald areas are covered with new hair growth, her ears which were a…

Dogs on Holiday

Sunday 18th April 2021

We were fortunate to get a bit of time away taking the dogs with us...They all loved the beach and had a dip in the sea except Dinky (my dog) who is now 12.5 years old and prefers to keep her paws dry! Luna loved the water and swam most days, Eli the Lab with neosporosis learnt to read the waves really well and by the end of the week was pretty confident wading out, Rachel would have been so proud of the dog he is today! Sadie's reaction to the beach was priceless and we managed to coax her in for a paddle! She is still currently longlined as this young girl has had a long journey…

Bandit

Wednesday 7th April 2021

After a two week trial Bandit has been adopted ... in fact - around day 4 i heard those words .. “he’s staying “😉 Bandit needed an experienced handler, someone prepared to spend the time with him and guide him forward ...Time to Bond , Time to Train, and not giving in at small hiccups, !! Time for Bandit to settle with the resident GWP who clearly said “ You cannot be serious !! “ but by day 4 she had changed her mind to “actually I like him” as they slept side by side on the floor !!! There are two young children in the family .. who loved Bandit straight away and he them ... their daughter pictured…

Update on Luna .... Luna has settled in so well she is a joy to have around ... Over the past week I have watched her open up to us and her new environment... She is nose to ground, enters cover happily , and this morning stopped to flush ... and came back when called ! also she initiated herself to our area with the roll In ‘Eau de foxy’ !! Fabulous temperament, very friendly happy girl . We feel her future would be best placed in a Working/Pet/Active home As I sit writing this she has wandered over and laid at my feet ... Truly a lovely girl .

Holly

Thursday 11th February 2021

The young beautiful Holly came to us early December ...We kept her quiet due to Christmas being so close but also because of the current situation with everyone wanting a dog! Holly was very timid on arrival but soon relaxed within her new environment.. eager to please she was a pleasure and a joy to work with .. she also came away with us for her first Christmas, ran on the beach and dived into the sea.. she loved it and we enjoyed her .. Holly went on trial two weeks ago to a young family who sadly lost their springer spaniel a while ago and felt now was a good time and had been looking for a while…
