Max

 

“I am contacting you to say thank you for letting us take Max into our family. He has settled in really well and is such a lovely dog. He is no longer shy of people or other dogs and is so well behaved. I have attached a couple of pictures of him so you can see he is well and happy.

Thanking you again.

 

The Legg family “

 

Dave

 

Dave is a year old Chihuaha cross.

He sometimes forgets that he is a small dog and tries to throw his weight around which of course the other dogs find hilarious.

Dave loves his walks and is always game for a hike in the country.

Update 1st april 2008:

Good news!

Dave has gone to live forever with Tracy who originally fostered him.

At this point we are not sure whether she is going to change his name or not! =)

 

 

 

 

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday is a year old Beagle who was hit by a car and broke her pelvis.

We were told that her owners no longer wanted her because the operation was going to cost £600 and so she would be put to sleep.

We stepped in, agreed to pay for the operation and now have Ruby in a foster home on cage rest.

She gets on with cats, children and dogs.

Obviously our paying for the operation was very important,

and could not wait until a special appeal was raised.

Anyone who would like to donate towards the costs of Ruby’s operation please contact the rescue.

Ruby has gone to a new home!

Pepa

This is Pepa who came from Ireland.

She is 7 months old and has a sweet temperament.
Pepa is now living with a couple who homed Oscar the terrible terrier from us several years ago.

Oscar has realised that now a female has joined the household that he better mend his previous wayward ways and that toys are to be shared and are not his sole property.
He is adjusting well to the new regime set down by Pepa!!

Banjo

 

This is Banjo,

a diabetic dog we took on 3 months ago.

 

He has now been rehomed with a retired gentleman who had recently lost his companion Guiness and was lost without a friend.

The rescue is still supporting the costs of Banjo’s insulin and will continue to do so.
Any donations to Banjo’s vet bills can be sent to the rescue.

 

We will shortly be setting up a sponsorship scheme for dogs like Banjo,

so if you would be prepared to give a small amount each month to

help to contribute towards Banjo’s treatment

please contact Helen for more details

 

 

Samba

 

“She has now completed a Puppy Training class and will shortly start a Good Manners class before moving on to Agility training as soon as she is 12 months old.

She is full of life, has a great deal of spirit (sometimes seen as a wicked streak!) and as far as our 6 year old greyhound lurcher is concerned has graduated from being a pain in the backside to being a best friend.

She’s lovely!!!”

Rainbow's Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all
of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is
plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and
vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The
animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly
stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His
eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying
over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally
meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the
beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your
pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….
