Hey everyone!

This is a bit of a long shot, but worth a tryโ€ฆ..

We are currently on holiday in Turkey where there are many stray dogs wandering around. Weโ€™ve found 3 puppies that are about 8 weeks old.

We are in the process of trying to arrange for them to be collected by a local rescue centre before we leave to come home on Saturday. We can give one a home but unfortunately canโ€™t take all three ๐Ÿ˜”

Would anybody be interested in adopting one/two? They are brothers and the best of friends and it would be heartbreaking to leave the other two behind.

There would be vet fees and transportation costs of course (Iโ€™m currently trying to find out exactly how much) and it would take roughly 4 months for them to arrive in the UK.

Please message me if you feel you can help โค๏ธ

P.S there is a little black one too but he was a little bit shy so didnโ€™t manage to get a picture of him ๐Ÿพ

This, my furry little friends, is going to change our lives! โ„๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The salon is now fully air conditioned and a pleasure to be in ๐Ÿ˜„

Apologies to the dogs that I had to cancel yesterday & today, and thank you for your understanding โ˜บ๏ธ

Just a gentle reminder - on hot days, please avoid walking your dog for too long before they come in for their groom, as although it is now cool in the salon, their body temperatures would have already been raised and can sometimes struggle to come back down.

Hope everyone is ok and not suffering too much ๐Ÿฅต

See you all soon! ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ

Just a polite notice - if your dog is due a groom in the month of June, please donโ€™t delay booking in as I am currently booking appointments from the 16th June onwards for full cuts.

Also, unfortunately appointments will be limited during the month of August due to family holidays. If you would like to secure a slot for that month, please let me know as soon as possible so that Iโ€™m able to offer you a space ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you all for your support, itโ€™s greatly appreciated ๐Ÿ˜˜
