Do you remember me, Max?
It is exactly 6 months since I came here.
I love it!
It took me quite a while to feel at home,after all I had been through.
But now life is good, and I feel so grateful the way you looked after me, and found me a new home.
John and Pauline are not so bad, and I think they really love me.
Say a special thank you to Pat who took me in when I didn’t have anyone.
Love
Max
Dear Helen
Please find a lovely picture of our new dog Paddy.
Hope you can put on the website.
He loves getting muddy and playing with his ball. We have started training lessons, nothing to heavy just the basics, so you can get old dogs to do new tricks.
He’s great company and comes to work with me and has taken us on some lovely walks.
Take care Maggie.
REHOMED !

Hi Helen just a quick update on Jana who arrived yesterday, this gorgeous little pup only nine weeks old who has been an absolute delight since she arrived, she is very keen to please and just loves her cuddles,
she is very good with my other dogs and the children.
So far she has been clean and dry in the house through out the day and last night just one wee in her crate,
she slept through till 6.45, not bad for such a young pup, she really is a smashing little girl.
regards
Niki
Hi Helen, what can I say!
Jack is a perfect dog for my family he has settled in very well.
When we first got jack he would bark at most things ( bikes, lorries e.t.c) But now he has calmed down with his barking.
Jack really enjoys going out to hamworthy park running along the beach and going for walks in the woods.
Jack walks wonderful on his lead he always comes back when you call him.
He also loves other dogs balls ha ha!! My whole family really really love and adore him and couldnt image life without him.
Thank you very much a very happy dog owner Kelly Lampert x

Jimbo enjoying a long walk on the beach.
Jimbo is doing very well eating far better than he was and has put on weight.
His heart is steady much better than he was when he first came into the rescue.
Thank you to everyone who has donated money to the rescue over the last few months as you can see it has been well spent on Jimbo’s treatment.

Just had a great walk with new foster dog Frank and his pack up on Canford heath,
he was so good I let him have some off lead time to stretch his little legs and he did running and playing and came back when asked,
unless he was sniffing then we had to wait for him lol..
super fun dog,
good with other dogs on and off his lead.
REHOMED !!

Think you would like to know. All OK with Oscar.
Can not believe how well he has fitted in.
So well you would think he has been here all the time.
Have been able to brush him every day with out any fuss.
In fact he likes it. Want to keep it that way.
So rather than me, have Vet recommended lady come so he can be groomed and washed ,which he needs.
She knows situation he could be nasty, hopefully not.
So keep your fingers crossed for me next Tuesday.
He is a great little dog, and think it is correct to say he likes me and I like him.
All the best for new year
Brian.

Tilly Mae arrives at the Christie household….
I moved in lock, bed and kibble with Bengy on the 2nd May 2014. Popsy Andrew picked me up and the first thing we did was go for this humongous walk. I did not go back to Auntie Yvonne’s again. Eight weeks tomorrow I will have been here. I think they are getting used to me. Bengy is so laid back, and so easy to get one over on….well most of the time. I have to learn to share things with Bengy, Can’t help it but everything is so good that I just want it for myself. I have learnt to sit and wait for my food and not rush for it, Mops helps by putting it in a ‘go slow’ dish – managed to get it down to 3 minutes to devour 1 minute is licking the dish very clean. I don’t have kibble now, one sniff of what Bengy was eating and I was a transformed dog. My sore neck has cleared up, my fur is all grown back and my weight has gone up too. I have learnt to wait at the gate for mops to walk through first, Bengy does this so I copied him. Also, I lay down with Bengy when Mops is ‘diddlin’ in the kitchen. I walk nicely on my harness, but the thrill is when we go for walks, I just run and run and run…….and all the walks are different. Flat, hilly, with water holes, without. But I do object to being washed when I have just got smelling how I want to smell. My recall is somewhat sketchy. Mops just lets me know where she is and I look in occasionally but I have realised that it is better for me (treat better) if I return when she calls, normally for a good reason. I have met horses, and made so may doggy friends especially DAWGdog Tara (aka Nell) and Bilbo. I have lovely ball games, in and out the house. And I get the ‘bestest’ cuddles from Andrew Popsy and Mopsy. I have a bed I can lay out in all night, but am allowed a morning cuddle on the ‘Supremist of all beds’. Also, we have this huge sofa that Bengy and I and any other visiting dog or human shares. Bengy and I are also learning not to put the fear of God up the postmen, we only want say hello…..And then there is a bit of ‘over the fence’ communication with DAWGdogs Ozzie and Taylor and more recently Bear. All in all, I reckon I have ended up in a happy place…..I feel loved and I know that I tell them often I love them, and Bengy and I are friends

Tilly is the dog in the background.
Tilly is settling in beautifully.
She started puppy classes yesterday, she was a bit distracted but not surprising for a terrier but she is getting it slowly.
Alfie is a wonderful big brother and helps to keep her in line when she gets a bit OTT with my grandson &
in the car (she has her own little seat belt);
he is brilliant with her and fabulous company for her (and me of course).
They are both a lovely addition to my family.
They are currently snoozing following a mad dash play session.
Thanks x
We’ve only had Philly for a day but she is adorable.
She’s very playful for short periods and then has a nap to recharge her batteries.
She has met our cat who doesn’t know what to make of Philly.
Philly likes barking at her but that’s just to get her attention.
She sleeps in her crate at night and although she barks for a couple of minutes she soon settles down.
Philly is the sister to Tana both four months old.
Probably mixtures with a bit of terrier in them , they won’t be large dogs.
They get on with cats.

Freddie has been with us now for 12 weeks and has settled in really well.
He loves his walks in the forest every day running and playing with our other dog Belle.
He does have a habit of eating horses pooh and loves rolling in foxes pooh because of this he is a frequent visitor to the bathroom were he enjoys a shower!
He loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa with us and loves to watch telly.
We all agree that we would not be without him now
