SUZIE

Thursday 23rd February 2023

How not to turn up for a physio session covered in mud 🙈 me in my muddy boots left at the entrance and Suzie ... well what can I say .. plus she was on a lead walk this morning !! .. however another great session at Chapelfarm Rehab and a notable improvement in Suzie's body .. Suzie has chronic Arthritis in all her joints and spondolosis of the spine. At the start of our journey she was very snappy to touch .. touch meant pain! and a few months in she is now happy for the physio to work with her hands on .. This little girl is heading in the right direction. I am thrilled with…

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

Lottie

Tuesday 7th February 2023

Beautiful Lottie has been Adopted.. she came to us a couple of weeks before Christmas overbred, underweight, no muscle tone , a very wary spaniel! How her life has changed ! Early January we made the decision to find Lotties home sooner rather than later as she was bonding heavily with me and she needed to bond with her future owners in her forever home .. Lottie went forward to her new home on trial with a wonderful couple and their spaniel Stan and settled in very well, during that time she was spayed, a couple of rotten teeth removed at their vets and given a clean bill of health. It was a joy to see Lottie…

Roxie & Rosie came to stay

Sunday 29th January 2023

It has been a delight to have these two beautiful girls to stay over whilst their owners went on holiday.. Hard to believe how bad they both were when they first arrived in rescue last year after being abandoned with little Roo looking nothing like they do today .. their coats are like velvet, their weight is spot on , they are both so healthy and very much loved by their owners .. Roxie & Rosie beautiful names for beautiful girls . Tomorrow they go home after a week with us .. (please note this is not a service we provide .. but when our dogs are adopted and holidays are pre planned/booked we will have them back to…

RITA

Thursday 26th January 2023

The beautiful Rita (was Wreath) has been adopted... she chose her home and has settled in very well... she has been introduced to the horses and is loving the space and freedom. Rita arrived just after Christmas and spent some time with Julie Warboys who described her as a gorgeous giantess craving affection. What is so lovely is that Rita needs her new owners as much as they need her, she has helped fill a void in their lives after losing their spaniels aged 14 and 15 years of age. A great start to the rest of your life Rita and we wish a wonderful journey. Huge Thank you to Julie Warboys

Suzie

Wednesday 18th January 2023

Update on Suzie who is having weekly hydro sessions at Chapel Farm Rehab for Chronic Arthritis and spondylosis in her lower spine. Underwater Treadmill sessions have gone very well... Yesterday we saw the physio Ellen for a review and were given more exercises to implement daily .. Suzie's muscles are developing well and she is moving a lot better. I still have to keep her walks controlled on the lead much to her annoyance! This photo highlights a big achievement for Suzie as she has struggled to sit and yesterday managed this comfortably! She is on daily pain meds and everything appears to be going in the right direction . Next week…

ELI

Tuesday 17th January 2023

This morning it was Eli's turn to have some physio around his spine and shoulder areas.. he loved seeing the girls at Chapel farm rehab especially Clair who he adores ! It's also a place he is very familiar with and has frequented since he was a young pup and the place where he learned to walk on his two hind legs independently and not bunny hop! He has not been for a while and I have noticed him stretching a lot over the past couple of weeks ... Ellen (physio) picked up on some tender areas along his spine and noted that he was off loading on his right shoulder. We know his hips and hind limbs…
