Next chapter… 🌰🏡🐾

Who remembers when little Conker joined the gang back in October?!

Well, the time has finally come for him to begin the most exciting journey of all, off to his forever home 🥹💔➡️🏡

Conker arrived in rescue after being born with a cleft palate, meaning it wasn’t safe for him to nurse from mum. That’s when our incredible foster stepped in with those relentless, two-hourly, around the clock tube feeds! Pure dedication, love and very little sleep!

Fast-forward 13 weeks and just look at him… the most beautiful Labradoodle you ever did see 🌟🐶

Stories like Conker’s make every single sleepless night, every feed, every worry and every tear so unbelievably worth it.

Go shine sweet boy, we are so proud of you 🌈✨

✨ Meet the Sassy Six! ✨

Six tiny cleft warriors, aged from just 10 days to 3 weeks old – a gorgeous mixture of breeds… including one we’ve never had in rescue before! 👀
Can you guess what they all are?! 🤍🐶

We’ve been a little quiet lately because, honestly, it’s been full-on chaos behind the scenes. Between Christmas, lots of new intakes and caring for our now 14 rescue pups, some of whom are extremely poorly, we’ve barely had a second to breathe. It’s been around-the-clock feeds, vet trips and sleepless nights — but every single one is worth it 🖤

Now that things are settling (just a tiny bit 😅), keep your eyes peeled because we’ve finally got round to sharing all their stories with you… and there are some absolute heart-stealers coming your way. 🐾✨

🐾 ADOPTION POST – HUGO 🐾

Meet Hugo...

Hugo came into the rescue in critical condition, weighing just 900 grams and requiring a stay in ICU with round-the-clock care and support, the odds were stacked against him but he has made an incredible turnaround and is now thriving 💪🏼

Today, Hugo weighs 4.1kg and is doing exactly what a healthy puppy should be doing – growing, playing, learning and getting into LOTS of mischief

As a German Shorthaired Pointer, Hugo is a high-energy, intelligent and active pup. He will be looking for a home with lots of time, commitment and the ability to meet both his physical and mental needs with maybe with some experience of the breed too! Larger breed experience is important, as he will grow into a strong, active adult who will need ongoing training, structure and enrichment.

✅ Dog tested�✅ Cat tested�🐶 Puppy training ongoing

We know Hugo will be a very desirable boy, so please only apply if you are genuinely interested and able to meet his needs. Due to the expected level of interest, we will only be in touch if your application is successful.

Usual terms and conditions apply.�If you think you could be Hugo’s perfect match, please apply using the link below 🐾

Followers we need your help for Dash🆘🚨‼️

Dash URGENTLY needs a CT scan and surgery for his liver shunt, and we’re begging the people who always support our rescue.

We have 9,000 followers across Instagram and Facebook and Tik Tok following us, so if each of us is able to give just £1 it would ensure his expected treatment costs of £6000 were covered.

£1 may feel small on its own, but together it becomes something life saving.

Thank you for helping Dash, it means the world to us. A donation, a share, or kind words mean so much to us at Midlands Cleft Rescue🐾

Donation link in comments. PayPal and Bank details are in the post.

🚨 URGENT APPEAL..!!🚨

WE HAVE JUST 48 HRS TO RAISE THE FUNDS NEEDED FOR A CHANCE TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!! 🙏

Help Dash Get the Life He Deserves 🤍

Meet Dash, a beautiful 14 week old dachshund puppy currently in foster care with Midlands Cleft Rescue. Dash should be worrying about toys and cuddles but instead, he’s fighting for his life.

Dash has been diagnosed with an intrahepatic liver shunt, a serious congenital condition. This means that an abnormal blood vessel inside his liver is allowing blood to bypass the liver instead of being filtered by it. The liver’s job is to remove toxins from the bloodstream and when it can’t do this properly, toxins build up and travel to the brain, causing severe neurological symptoms.

Sadly, Dash’s symptoms became frighteningly clear after his vaccination:
- seizures
- unable to hold himself up
- walking only in circles
- toppling over and unable to get back up
- unable to eat or drink on his own
- bumping into everything

An ultrasound today confirmed the intrahepatic liver shunt, giving us answers but also a difficult road ahead.

Dash is currently being supported with lactulose to help remove toxins from his body, oralade every two hours for hydration, and a carefully prepared home cooked diet. While this helps manage symptoms, it is not a cure.

To give Dash a real chance at a normal, happy life, he urgently needs:
- a CT scan to map the shunt (approximately £2,500)
- specialist liver shunt surgery (estimated £3,000–£4,000)

This surgery offers Dash the possibility of growing up healthy, pain free, and able to do all the puppy things he’s currently missing out on.

Midlands Cleft Rescue is doing everything they can for Dash, but the costs are overwhelming for a rescue to manage alone. Every donation, no matter how small, brings Dash one step closer to the treatment he desperately needs.

If you can donate, share, or simply keep Dash in your thoughts, it truly means the world. You are not just helping to fund a scan or surgery…you are giving a tiny puppy the chance at a future.

Thank you for supporting Dash

✨ The update you’ve all been waiting for… Hugo is THRIVING! ✨

This little warrior has truly defied the odds and fought so hard to be here. After everything he’s been through in such a short little life, his transformation is nothing short of incredible.

Hugo arrived into rescue at just 4 weeks old, weighing a tiny 900 grams. He was severely dehydrated, malnourished and physically couldn’t keep food, water or fluids down. He spent four days in intensive care, and without the amazing support from our vets and every single one of you who donated towards his vet bills, we simply wouldn’t have been able to save him. We will be forever grateful 💙

Fast forward to today and our boy is now a whopping 4kg at just 8 weeks old – and there is absolutely nothing stopping him now!

Hugo is now a crazy little pup, full of life and very much your typical German Short-Haired Pointer – as mad as a box of frogs and never still for more than three seconds! 🐸😂

He’ll be looking for his forever home in the next few days, so if you think you might be the perfect family for this very special boy, please keep your eyes peeled for his adoption post… we have a feeling he’s going to be very, very popular 🏡✨

🤍 Monday Update 🤍

Things are very busy here at the moment! We currently have 15 dogs in our care, including 7 newborn pups who need feeding every 2 hours, day and night 🐶🍼

Thank you so much for your patience while we’ve been a little quiet, the babies are definitely keeping us on our toes 🤎

We know January is a tough month for everyone, but if you’re able to spare anything at all, we’ve added our Amazon wishlist below to help with the newborns 🤍
They’re flying through tubes, pads, wipes, bedding, and food, and with so many little ones, it’s been hard to keep up 😢

Every bit of support means the world to us, thank you for being so kind 🤍🐾

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you’re all okay and that 2026 has started well⏰✨

This week’s Forever Home Friday is for our wonderful girl Doris!

Doris was incredibly popular when she was looking for her forever home and received loads of applications. After carefully matching her, she landed the perfect home, where she now lives her best life alongside her EBT brother Stan 🐾

Here’s what Doris’s new parents had to say about her: #
“Doris is living her best life with all the new swag. She’s a little firecracker and is always happy. If she isn’t happy, she is absolutely plotting what mischief she is about to get into.
She’s well socialised and is a fan favourite at the CrossFit gym and comes to work to help with coaching! She loves a good run around and boy is she fast! She passed puppy and junior classes with distinctions and we have now moved onto beginners scent training, which she is also excelling in. Cheeky, sassy and an absolute cuddle monster!”

Stories like Doris’s remind us why we do what we do. Thank you to her amazing family for giving her such a brilliant forever home and a built-in best friend in Stan 🐶

Happy Forever Home Friday, Doris 💕

🎄✨ A little Christmas catch-up from Midlands Cleft Rescue ✨🎄

We’ve been a bit quiet over the Christmas period as we took a small social media break, but we’ll be back with a bang in the New Year 💥

Behind the scenes it’s been anything but quiet. We’ve had a huge intake of new pups and Foster Mum Jade has been incredibly busy. She’s currently running on very little sleep, permanently covered in puppy poo and outnumbered by 10 dogs who all seem to think she’s a full-time snack dispenser, cleaner and cuddle provider. Despite the chaos, she is doing an absolutely incredible job and… unfortunately (or fortunately!) Becci has ended up stuck in beautiful Lapland due to some unexpected flight troubles ❄️

We also want to give a very special mention to Lauren, our amazing foster based in Glasgow. Lauren didn’t hesitate to drive all the way down to Birmingham to help puppies in need over the festive period, and she is always on hand with support, experience and invaluable advice for the team. Her dedication, kindness and willingness to step in wherever needed truly means the world to us 🐾

We also want to give a huge thank you to our incredible transport team, who have continued to volunteer countless miles and hours of their time to help get puppies safely where they need to be. We truly couldn’t do this without you 🙏🏻
We are always looking to welcome more people to our transport team across the country. If you’d be able to volunteer a couple of hours every so often and would like to help puppies reach safety, please do send us a message. Every little bit of help makes a massive difference 🚗

Thank you as always for your continued support. We are so grateful for all the amazing puppy gifts that arrived. Some parcels came a little later, so we’re still working our way through them, but the pups have had the best Christmas 🎄 Photos and videos of the puppies opening their presents will be shared very soon, so keep an eye out 🎁

Thank you for being part of the Midlands Cleft Rescue family and we’ll see you again really soon 🐶🐾
