Age is Just a Number

Lord Zachariah the Forgetful: A tribute to our precious Grandad Zach

To know Zach is to love Zach. The grandad of the rescue, he arrived in October 2018, and to say that he has had an impact would be putting it mildly. An enormous character with a heart to match, he has provided endless entertainment, and his carefree attitude and resilience is an inspiration to us all.

Compassion over Couture

August 21, 2019 by Emma Billington

This week we welcomed Molly. A very small girl who is about 18 months old, has already been bred from, had 4 homes and was kept in a crate for 23 hours of the day for most of her short life. She is of course, like so many others, a victim of the breeding system and the ‘designer dog preference’ mentality that is epidemic in the UK. 

The majority of puppy farmed dogs come from other countries, yet most people are never made aware of this. One such startling insight came from our partner Street Hearts BG who, while queuing for the Eurotunnel with a cargo of 20 precious lives saved from hell, noticed there were vans and vans of puppies coming over. They are brought here to be sold as though they are born and bred in the UK – to unsuspecting people for under the normal value and those who will exploit them for breeding and making money.

Pigs / Dogs – it’s in the eye of the beholder

The Swine Flu impact

This week we have some disappointing news…unfortunately the latest group of dogs due to come over to us from Bulgaria have been delayed due to an African Swine Fever outbreak in Eastern Europe.

Swine Flu is an issue because an outbreak prevents the transportation of any animals through affected areas. This is a measure put in place to try and slow or stop the spread of the disease African Swine Fever, which is highly contagious and causes pigs to become poorly very quickly, resulting in death within just one week of infection.

Samira’s Happy Ending….. one of our Background Dogs

October 18, 2018 by Emma Billington

Samira came to us many months ago, very afraid along with a few others who had had some rough years in a pound in Romania.

She was timid, she never asked for anything but would always be around – she was surprised to feel love and kindness and it took a little while to build her trust. She wasn’t as happy as the others here no matter what we tried for her.

She was completely overlooked, almost as though she was a black dog and we were all baffled why she waited such a long time to get a trial as we couldn’t find any “faults” with her.
But we learn that some dogs just wait longer than others for their forever homes to come up and what a happy ending this one is. Her new mums’ email below shows why she waited so long – she was waiting for Emma, her new mum, for her time to shine.
