These are the dogs that were with the rescue and live with the Kate and her family in the New Forest.
Every year the Fun Dog Show to raise money for the rescue is held at Pat and Nigel’s farm on the 1st Sunday in September.
Lilly was the first of our dogs to go to live with the family,
originally she was to be fostered until a home could be found but she managed to weedle her way into their hearts and has never left.
Lily has been a bit of a trial over the years stealing food from saucepans, her best was a bubbling casserole which she lifted off the hob in the saucepan, placed it on the floor and licked the pan clean.
Digging up Pat’s flower beds and refusing to carry out simple tasks at training classes.
Benson was the next dog that they adopted and he can be seen in the photos doing flyball.
Benson was a real character and accident prone,he was the first dog ever in training to eat the squeaky toy and after waiting to see if it emerged from the other end it was removed from his stomach by the vet.
Sadly last year Benson died after a battle against Cancer,
we all have fond memories of his eccentric ways.
Raggle was a timid collie that arrived into the rescue from Ireland.
Knowing Pat has a soft spot for collies it was only a couple of days before she was packing her suitcase and off to a new home in the forest.
Raggle has adjusted and is full of confidence and is a firm member of the house pack!
