Bear…
Bear has now been rehomed.
Bear is a beautiful German Shepherd X Labrador male, approximately 4 years old, who was abandoned at the pound. Bear is in foster care with us and he is already proving to be a complete star. He is so loveable and adorable, excellent with other dogs, but not good with cats! Bear came to us very thin, so he needs to put on some weight and recover from his time in the pound before he can be rehomed. He will also be neutered before he goes to a forever home.

Woody, the staffie boy who was kept in a cage 
We got a call from someone about a male staffie boy who had been kept in a cage for so long that his claws were horribly overgrown and he was covered in his own mess. A member of the public had noticed this dog, and taken pity. The owner didn’t want the dog, so he took the dog home and had his claws cut. He took him out for a walk, and he had been in the cage for so long that his feet bled. The poor boy! He couldn’t keep Woody though, even though he would have loved to, so we were contacted and Woody was placed with one of our foster carers.
Woody has won the hearts of everyone who has met him, even after all the trauma he suffered, he is still the most loving, affectionate and cuddly dog you could ever meet. A couple have come forward who would like to adopt him, pending homecheck. We are so happy that Woody is doing so well. He has now been neutered and had his first vacc, and apart from having treatment for ear mites and being somewhat unfit through lack of exercise, he is in thankfully in good shape
Our warmest thanks to the person who rescued Woody from his miserable life in a cage, and who put in so much effort to find a rescue space for Woody.
Update: Woody is now happy in his new home

Harvey & Bobby…
Both Harvey and Bobby have now found loving permanent homes
Harvey and Bobby are two staffie males, both were at a pound in the North of England, and were unclaimed by their owners, and were at urgent risk of being put to sleep. We put out an emergency appeal for funding to help save one of these dogs, and thankfully the funds were raised. But as luck would have it, help also came from a foster carer who has facilities to quarantine ex pound dogs. This is necessary, due to the risk that pound dogs may have caught kennel cough. So thanks to the kindness of those who donated for emergency boarding fees, and the help from a foster carer, we were able to save both dogs
Harvey and Bobby arrived on Thursday August 6th. Bobby has unfortunately got kennel cough, as a result of his time in the pound. He is on a course of anti-biotics for this. He is with a foster carer who has the facilities to quarantine him until he is clear of kennel cough and assess him for a new home.
Harvey has not yet shown any signs of kennel cough, but he is currently in emergency boarding kennels, where he will be quarantined until we are sure he has not contracted kennel cough. He will also be assessed in order to find him a new home.
Harvey…
Harvey, male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Age unknown at present, but he looks to be about 2-3 years old. I have only spent a short amount of time with Harvey, (as he stayed overnight the first day he arrived, before he went into kennels,)but even in that short time, it’s clear that he is a very sweet natured and loveable boy. He loves to give lots of kisses! He knows basic commands, such as sit and lie down, and he is house trained. He also travels beautifully in the car. Over the next two weeks, I will be spending more time with Harvey to get to know him. Please check back to see how he’s doing!
Update: 11th August 09 Took Harvey to the vet today to have his vaccs – he was so good!!! He ignored all the other dogs in the vets who were messing about, he was brilliant with the vet, and in my sisters car there, and on the way back. We took him for a walk afterwards and he was fantastic! After some pulling due to excitement, he really relaxed into the walk and walked beautifully on the lead. He is one very lovely boy!! Bless him
Bobby…
Bobby is a male Staffordshire Bull Terrier, approximately 9 months old, He knows sit – he will sit if asked before you put food down. He is gentle and takes food from your hand without snatching, he has shown no food aggression, or any other aggression towards humans. Bobby has met horses, and he is very interested in sniffing their knees! He is a bit exuberant around them but again, he has shown no aggression towards them. He is a very playful boy and is happily left on his own short periods of time. He slept all night in his crate no problem and no ‘accidents’ He also walks very well on the lead. From the second picture, it looks like he’s going to be good with cats!
Bobby update: 16th August 09 Bobby has proved to be good with dogs, if a little over exuberant! He has recovered well from kennel cough and his neutering operation, and has now found his forever home!
