We always follow up on our dogs after adoptions. This is to check that all is well and ensure that any niggly little problems are nipped in the bud. Gus arrived in the UK two weeks ago. He was one of our ‘long termers’ who had lived in a kennel for two years. We always…

Woof Woof..
Your love for your own best canine pal, may lead you to look past her constant barking, but your neighbour may not feel the same.

Today we have had two adoptions.. When one year old Kenzo arrived she was very thin and definitely in need of lots of tlc. Luckily for her Carole and Aude are great retriever lovers so it was no surprise when they offered to foster her. Putting a dog into foster allows us to assess the…

It’s a fact! Lots and lots of contact details on the ICAD and other pet databases are incorrect as owners have forgotten to change them when they move house or the dog changes ownership.
