Pet Information and Show at West Parley Hall

On Sunday there was a Pet Show at West Parley Hall to raise pet awareness and raise funds for animal charities

and Helen was invited to judge some of the classes!

These ferrets came 1st in the Cheeky Chappies Contest!

Fudge  ( a DAWGdog now living with Bill, Marjorie, Christine and five other DAWGdogs at White Topps Hotel ) won 2nd place in the Cheeky Chappies.

Here he is in his F.B.I fancy dress for which he also won a prize in the Fancy Dress Contest!

There was a Lionhead rabbit and two Tortoises (both 26 years old) who all won prizes too!

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.
