🐾 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Fun Dog Show Postponed! 🐾

We’re really sorry to say that due to the soggy weather forecast this Sunday, Freddie & Co have made the tough decision to postpone the Fun Dog Show. 🌧️🐶

We know how much everyone was looking forward to it, but we want to make sure all our furry friends (and their humans!) stay dry and happy.

A new date will be announced soon—when there’s less chance of soggy paws and muddy tails! 🐾☀️

Thanks for your understanding, and stay tuned for updates! 💛

Some of our supplies are running low..

We are currently in need of;

⭐️Clean bedding suitable for the animals, e.g washable blankets, towels or similar. Unfortunately we’re NOT able to use duvets, pillows, or clothes as bedding.

⭐️Dog meat tins/pouches.

⭐️Dog treats that don’t contain rawhide. All of our dogs have a bed time treat in the evening - meaty strips etc.

⭐️Whiskas kitten meat in jelly

Below is our Amazon wish list, obviously you may be able to get items cheaper elsewhere.. but these are the items we use regularly! 🙂

Rodney is another one of our youngsters who doesn’t really cope well in the kennels…

He’s a 9 month old Staffy cross who came to us as he “grew too big and strong” for his owner.

He’s a bit stressed in the kennels, which can present as him being quite clingy when he’s out… and this can sometimes result in him becoming over-excited with hard mouthing/ragging clothes. We are working with him, as well as giving him lots of things to do and think about but ultimately he needs to be in a home working with his new family.

Rodney is a friendly boy, and does love people! We feel that he would be better suited to a home without children due to his mouthing behaviour.

He’s good with other dogs, but can get over the top very quickly!

Bear! 🧸

Bear is a youngster who came to us as part of an unplanned litter…

Sadly other than the dogs he lived with (including his brother Joey, who’s also with us), he hasn’t been socialised so is reactive towards others!

He loves people! He’s super friendly and affectionate!

Bear is a bright lad… he wants to please, but he’s quite stressed in kennels, so finds it hard to concentrate! We’re working with him, but really he needs to be settled into a home working one on one with his new family…

At this time, we feel bear would need to be in a home with no other dogs/cats and no young children as he can be mouthy!

He’s a lovely lad, with tonnes of potential!! He just needs somebody with patience to guide him..

Pippin!

Pippin is a handsome 8yr old chap who was found living around a fast food restaurant living off chicken nuggets and burgers.. whilst we’re sure he was “lovin’ it” it wasn’t safe for him to stay there, so he came to us to find a new home!

He’s very sweet, and affectionate! He loves people and would make a perfect companion!

24 hounds and their owners joined us for the walk this morning, before the heavens opened. We definitely got the best weather of the day! Thank you as ever to everyone who joined us, especially Parker, who came all the way from Stoke to show us how well he is getting on in his new home! It's been a busy weekend for our hounds as lots of them were also at the Great Greyhound Gathering yesterday too. I think there will be lots of tired pups tonight!

Our next walk is on Sunday 5th October and don't forget next Sunday's Fun Dog Show at Carsington Water which is being hosted by Freddie & Co. Registration starts at 11am and with all profits being shared between Ashbourne Animal Welfare and Friends of the Animals Wales, we hope to see lots of you there to support both of these fantastic rescues.
