Hey Villagers, it's me, Arlo! One of your favourite four-legged correspondent, here with my update of the week!

First off, let's talk about my wild weekend adventure! My wonderful foster mum, Shannon, abandoned me (temporarily, she promised, with lots of extra ear scratches) to go off to some 'human friends wedding'. Honestly, I don't get these human rituals, but hey, I got to go on an adventure too! Knowing Bonnie hosted Blue perfectly the week before, I figured she’d be thrilled to entertain another dashing, slightly chaotic canine. And I was right!

Bonnie is a legend. We spent the weekend on serious scientific research into toy durability (results: not great) and perfecting our synchronized zoomies. Bonnies human, bless her heart, looked a little... tired by Sunday evening, but I'm pretty sure it was just from laughing so much at our antics.

Now, back home with Shannon. I’ve been a pillar of support, naturally. She’s working from home, so I’m dedicating myself to helping. This involves strategically placing my favourite squeaky toy on her keyboard, and providing constant, enthusiastic reminders that theres always time for a snuggle.
And by 'helping', I mean absolutely not at all distracting her. Nope, not even a little bit.

And the biggest news: VET VISIT! For my magnificent eyes. Good news, Villagers: I’m healing well!

That's all for now, Villagers! Time for a well-deserved nap (and maybe a sneaky attempt at getting another treat from Shannon). Stay tuned for more Arlo updates! Woof!

Oh, what a glorious way to chase away those Monday blues! Forget your coffee, because there truly is no better way to start the week than an update on Mumma Jules and her little babies… who aren’t so little anymore!

Our incredible Jules continues to be nothing short of a superhero mum.

She's ensuring every single one of her precious bundles is thriving, growing, and packing on the adorable chub. Jules is still being an absolute fabulous mum, pouring her whole heart into her little family, and it shows.

And can you believe it? The babies are almost three weeks old! Three whole weeks! It feels like just yesterday we met Jules and then we were marveling at her babies tiny, sleepy forms, and now they're little explorers, eyes open to the world and starting to take wobbly steps and full of curiosity.

A massive THANK YOU from Arlo and the Village Tails team!

Just a couple short weeks ago, we shared with you Arlo's story, a plea for a brighter future.

Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering support, that hope has blossomed into reality! This very week, our sweet Arlo underwent his much needed cherry eye repair surgery. And we are absolutely thrilled to report that he is healing wonderfully!

Now, for those of you eager for updates (and we know there are many!), we want to manage expectations slightly. Cherry eye isn't repaired instantly, and the surgery itself leaves some natural swelling. Right now, when you look at Arlo, you might still notice a touch of redness in his eyes. Please know, this is simply the residual swelling

We've been assured by his wonderful veterinary team that within the next two short weeks, that swelling will totally disappear. And then? Arlo's beautiful eyes will be nothing short of perfection!

This transformation would not have been possible without you. Every share, every donation, every kind word of encouragement meant the world to us and, most importantly, to Arlo. You invested in a life, you restored comfort, and you showed us the incredible power of community.

So, from Arlo, with his soon to be perfectly bright eyes, and from every single member of The Village Tails team, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Arlo's brighter future a beautiful reality. We can't wait to share more updates as his healing progresses!

Shhh... you're witnessing Louie in his most Zen state, the ultimate power nap. Don't let this calm exterior fool you, though! He's just recharging his batteries for a lifetime of zoomies, belly rubs, and unwavering loyalty. He's dreaming of a family of his very own, a warm bed, and all the love he can give.
Is your home the one he's waiting for to wake up in?

What a glorious way to end our Tuesday, dear villagers, than with hearts brimming and news that sings! Today, our little corner of the world is positively buzzing with triumphs, both grand and tiny, all thanks to your unwavering love and support.

First, let's talk about the 'Freedom Bus' – that gleaming beacon of hope that promises new beginnings. We are absolutely overjoyed to announce that our next intake is almost at capacity! Nearly all of those precious 'pound babies' whose hopeful eyes we shared with you, are now secured a seat on that life-changing journey. Their paws will soon touch soft grass, their heads will rest on loving laps, and the echoes of their past fears will fade into distant memory. What a sight it will be when they rumble off to their forever homes!

But amidst this celebratory cheer, a tender whisper remains. A few brave souls, just a handful of sweethearts, are still waiting by the wayside, their little hearts thumping with the dream of joining their friends. They watch the bus load, hopeful, yearning for that one last message, that one more hero to step forward. If your heart is tugged by the thought of saving one of these last precious lives, please, don't hesitate. Send us a message – let's fill that bus to the brim and leave no one behind! We would still absolutely love to hear from you.

Now, for a story that warms even the chilliest corners of our hearts: Mumma Jules and her sparkling 'baby gems'! Oh, what a sight she is! This incredible mother is thriving, a true testament to devotion and strength. She nurtures her little ones with such gentle care. And the babies? Every single one of them, yes, ALL! Even the tiny warrior who needed that extra sprinkle of tender love and vigilant watch, is flourishing! Their tiny tummies are round and full, their sleepy stretches grow longer, and their little bodies are gaining weight, day by day, inch by precious inch. The sound of their contented squeaks and tiny wiggles is music to our ears.

This miracle, this vibrant picture of life and love, would not be possible without the beautiful and devoted foster carers, Sandra, Dave, and their trusty companion Gryph. Their boundless patience, sleepless nights, and endless acts of kindness have transformed a vulnerable family into a beacon of hope. They are the unsung heroes, the hands that rock the cradle and give these little lives the start they so desperately deserve.

So, as Tuesday gracefully bows out, let's carry this joy, this shared sense of accomplishment, into our week.

Thank you, dear villagers, for being the heart and soul of this mission. Together, we are making miracles happen. More updates to come, but for now, rest easy, knowing so many lives are changing for the better.

The air is buzzing, hearts are swelling, and we can finally, joyfully, burst forth with the news you’ve all been patiently anticipating! With absolute delight and immense honour, we share the incredible update that our beloved Jules has given birth! And most importantly, we are thrilled to report that both mum and her precious new arrivals are doing well.

It’s been a journey filled with love, concern, and a whole lot of crossed fingers, but Jules, in her quiet strength, has birthed a beautiful litter. We are overjoyed to confirm that there are seven babies, healthy, wriggly puppies, each one a tiny testament to life and resilience. Their little snoots, their tiny tails are twitching, and Jules is a natural, doting mother, showering her newborns with soft nudges and comforting licks.

However, as many of you know, Jules has faced her own battles, with her age and cancer diagnosis casting a shadow of worry over her. True to form, her spirit shines through, but it also means we're keeping an extra watchful eye on dear mumma Jules and one of her babies in particular, there is one little warrior who needs a bit more encouragement. This tiny baby isn't quite as strong as their siblings, which, while not surprising given Jules’s circumstances, means they’re getting the full pamper package!

And who better to deliver such an exquisite level of care than our incredible, tireless, truly rockstar foster carers? Their dedication is boundless. This little one is receiving round-the-clock attention, including supplemental bottle feeds to ensure every nutrient counts, and is being kept snug and warm in a cocoon of comfort. Every breath, every wiggle, every tiny sound is monitored with love and expertise, giving this precious soul the very best chance to thrive.

This is a moment of profound joy mixed with gentle hope. We are celebrating Jules's strength, the miracle of new life, and the unwavering compassion of the people who make these stories possible. Stay tuned for more updates on Jules and her growing family, especially as we rally behind our tiniest fighter!

Hey villagers, it’s us again with an urgent plea.

The other day, we shared our next mission, a beacon of hope we desperately tried to light for a group of forgotten souls. But as the days tick by, that hope is flickering, threatening to extinguish completely. And we are utterly terrified.

Fifteen lives. Not just numbers, but fifteen innocent beings trapped behind the cold bars of a pound. Ten dogs, their eyes wide with confusion and a fading trust, their tails barely wagging anymore. Five cats, huddled in corners. They exist in a world of concrete and steel, knowing, somehow, that their days are numbered.

They are waiting for us. They know we are their last chance at warmth, at kindness, at a soft bed and a gentle hand. They are clinging to the faint promise of a "save" that we, as their only advocates, are supposed to provide.

But we can't. Not without you.

We are a small rescue, a passionate collective of animal lovers and friends, our hearts overflowing with compassion but our resources limited. We don't have a grand shelter, no rows of kennels where we can bring these precious animals to safety. Every single life we save finds solace in the homes of our incredible foster carers.
And this is where the silence becomes deafening. This is where our terror truly takes hold.

Despite the urgent plea, despite the desperate need of these fifteen souls whose lives hang in the balance, we have not received a single, solitary application to foster. Not one.

Imagine their desperate hope, fading with each passing hour. Imagine our powerlessness, knowing we have the will, but not the means, to pull them from the brink. These animals aren't just waiting for a temporary home, they are waiting for a reprieve from death.

Please, if you have a spare room, a loving heart, and a willingness to open your home for a few weeks or months, you possess the power to change everything. You could be the difference between a cold, lonely end and a second chance at a life filled with love. We will support you every step of the way.

Don't let their last chance slip away. Don't let their silent pleas turn into eternal goodbyes. We are at breaking point, and they are counting on you. Please, become a foster carer. Their lives depend on it.

Please, if you can help, send us a message
We would love to hear from you, and we know those hopeful 15 would as well.

Meet Louie: Your Future Fur-Nado of Fun!

Prepare yourselves, awesome humans, for the delightful whirlwind that is Louie! This handsome, high-energy pup is on a mission to find his forever family, and trust us, he brings a whole lot of personality to the table (and sometimes, under it, investigating crumbs).

Louie is what we like to call "enthusiastically energetic." He's got a zest for life that's absolutely contagious, whether he's zooming around the yard or chasing his favorite squeaky toy with gusto. But don't let his playful antics fool you – when it's time to power down, Louie transforms into the ultimate snuggle bug. He's practically a professional leg warmer, guaranteed to keep you cozy and loved all night long!

Being the smart puppy he is, Louie is still navigating the finer points of polite society, but he's already mastered the crucial "sit for dinner" command (especially when the kibble is particularly enticing!). He's a quick learner, and with a little patience and continued positive reinforcement, he'll be acing puppy etiquette in no time.

Louie is a social butterfly and absolutely loves playing with other dogs. He'd thrive sharing a home with a canine companion who can match his energy and show him the ropes, even if that means mimicking their valiant (and hilarious) attempts to "conquer" the vacuum cleaner (don't worry, he usually waits until it's off!)
For human friends, he'd do best with active adults or perhaps older, dog-savvy children who understand puppy play and are ready for a spirited, loving pal.

If you're ready to embrace a life filled with laughter, boundless energy, and an unwavering furry shadow, then Louie is your guy. Just prepare for endless entertainment, a slightly less tidy house, and a heart overflowing with doggy devotion!
Think Louie is the perfect addition to your active, loving home? Apply to meet this charming boy today!

S*x - Male
Breed - American Bulldog X
Age approx. 9 months
Colour - White and Tan
Weight – approx. 19 kg

JOIN OUR VILLAGE FAMILY!

We made a promise to share news on our next pound intake, and that moment is finally here. But to fulfill our mission, we desperately need your help!

Our hearts are bursting with love for the beautiful, brave souls arriving at Village Tails, each arrival brings a unique story of hope and resilience. You've heard about Arlo, our sweet baby boy with his distinctive cherry eyes, and the heart-wrenching tale of Jules, the 13-year-old pregnant mum battling an incurable cancer. While these precious ones are settling into warm, safe foster homes, getting all the pampering they deserve, in the background we have been planning our next big operation, once again "clear the kennels" is underway, and that is where we need YOUR help!

We desperately need kind, compassionate individuals to open their homes and hearts to our wonderful dogs, playful puppies, sweet cats, and tiny, vulnerable kittens.

Fostering isn't just a temporary stay, it's a lifeline. It's giving a scared puppy confidence, a shy kitten comfort, a forgotten dog a warm bed, and a lonely cat gentle strokes. It frees up space, allows us to rescue more, and gives these precious animals the crucial stepping stone they need before finding their forever families.

Could YOU be the one to change these animals lives?
We provide all the support: food, vet care, supplies, and endless gratitude! 💖 You provide the safe space, the love, and the invaluable comfort they need to thrive.

Whether you can offer a short-term haven for a litter of kittens, a quiet space for a senior dog, a dedicated room for a mama cat and her babies, or a fun environment for an energetic puppy - every single foster home makes an immeasurable difference. We have a variety of animals with different needs, and we're sure there's a perfect match for your home and lifestyle.

Don't have experience fostering? No problem! Our dedicated team of animal coordinators here at Village Tails will guide you every step of the way.

We have decided to share a few animals with you all, still searching, still waiting and desperately hoping they get a chance to join the freedom bus, for ease, we have added information on them on their individual photos.

Ready to become a foster hero and save a life? Send us a message, we would love to hear from you!
