Helen's diary and Dooley's diary!

We are starting to include some new features into the website,

beginning with a diary by Helen of anecdotes from her animal rescue activities,

and also a diary from Dooley, who is a dog currently in rehabilitation at the rescue.

These will updated occasionally as time allows.

HELEN’S DIARY

DOOLEY’S DIARY

( You can also now find links to them at the side of the website )

We will also soon be having a section for Tales of Dastardly Dogs,

so if you have any stories to share of incidents featuring

any animal which you have had from Helen or the rescue

either recently or at any time in the past,

please send them in to Helen

Some new dogs have arrived today and details and photos of them will follow soon,

please also continue to send us progress updates and photos of your dogs!

Important: please note

Since this website is now getting a lot of visitors from all over the country,

( and some international ones too!)

we need to stress the following important points:

We will only rehome dogs within approx 30miles of the Bournemouth/Poole area

in order that we can ensure the continued well-being of the dogs in our care.

Also:

We are NOT looking for just ANY home for these dogs.

All potential homes will be assessed to try and ensure the best possible home to cater for the differing needs of each individual dog that we look after.

We would rather keep a dog for longer at the rescue

than send it to a home that may be potentially unsuitable for any reason.

Thank you to the K9 Rescue Knitting Club !

The K9 Rescue Knitting Club is a group of knitters from all over the country that knits coats for dogs in rescues.

They have most kindly sent a big bag of dog jumpers to sell to raise funds or use for the dogs.

Please take a look at their website and see the range of coats they have for sale,

donate to them any spare wool or other items that you might have,

or even join in and become a K9knitter yourself!

Thank you to Burns Pet Nutrition and Peter and Beth of Pets Direct!

We would like to thank Burns Pet Nutrition who kindly donated

two bags of Burns dried dog food to the rescue.

This gift came via Pets Direct pet food supplies,
5 The Parade,
Waterloo,
Poole,
Dorset.

Peter from Pets Direct quite often arrives at the rescue to donate
sacks of dried dog food and always seems to know just when we are in
need of this.
Thank you Peter and Beth!

Thank you Mr Andrew Evans of Vet-Medic Pharmacy!

Earlier in the year we were
collecting worming tablets and antibiotics to go to
AnimalSOS

a rescue that works tirelessly in Sri Lanka to treat, neuter
and improve the conditions of street animals..

We would like to thank Mr Andrew Evans of Vet-Medic Pharmacy for his donation.

Mr Evans when asked donated without hesitation this generous gift

of a large box of Drontal worming tablets.

2 springer spaniels

progress update: 30th May

The spaniels are now settling into a new home!

These two springer spaniels need rehoming together.

They are both 5 years old.

They are both fully vaccinated, neutured and excellent with children.

They come from a home with 3 young children and are very friendly.

Flo

“Here are some photos and an update of Flo, the blonde pup we adopted 3 weeks ago.

Flo is lovely and has settled in very well and is most definitely one of the family.

Although she was initially very timid and nervous of people she fell in love with our Goldie, Billy

and he has helped us to nurture Flo’s confidence so that she now loves a fuss
and settles each evening on the sofa with us or snuggles up to Billy.

She has started training classes, already does the sit, recalls most
of the time, and is getting to grips with leave and wait.

She absolutely loves her walks. She also loves to meet new doggie friends
and their human companions on walks.

She is a bundle of energy and we think she will love her holidays in the Lake District when she is older.

We love her very much and hope we can make her life fulfilling and fun.”

Best wishes

‘The Martins’
Helen, Andrew, Billy and Flo

Ps she is a real girlie and just loves shoes!!!!!

“The puppies are wonderful that we picked up yesterday.
Saw their first horse trotting up our road – what a big dog!
The black one we have named Tinka & the black & tan Lottie.
