A quick in and out for an identified old dog!
We had a sad arrival today, and initially we were worried that after the elation of Tom’s adoption yesterday, we had a replacement, but this time even older and blind to boot. Bobby is 14 years old and is blind. He is tattooed and despite his age, the tattoo is still legible. Only problem was…

As some of you may have noticed I have been absent for a week or so. Thus apart from a few log-ins in between meetings, I like you, have been following the goings on at the refuge via the blog. Like you, I noticed the large number of adoptions. Like many of you, I have…
Fundraising and prizewinning!
The refuge was shut today, as it was Pentecost. This means that apart from the staff cleaning, feeding and giving medicines in the morning, the dogs were on their own. Maybe just as well bearing in mind how hot it was today! Any volunteers coming to walk dogs from now on are well advised to…

Flambo And Niagara Leave And A Super Reservation!
Flambo was found wandering and brought to the refuge by our volunteer Melanie. Even although he wasn’t identified we fully expected that someone would be looking for this little lad but no, despite sharing on facebook and making enquiries, no one inquired about him at all!

Fabergé And Calamity Jane Leave After Only Weeks At The Refuge!
When some dogs arrive at the refuge you know that they will be snapped up quickly and that their stay will be a short one.That was certainly the case for Faberge! This beautiful two year old golden Labrador arrived towards the end of May and was adopted today by a super family who visited the…
Good news Tuesday
Today was a happy, sunny day, with a good team of volunteers walking, as well as some good news. One of the other visitors who came on Sunday spent a long time sitting in front of one of the cages, obviously transfixed by the dog inside. I knew that the dog had already been reserved,…
