About The Sovereign: the history of The Sovereign goes back over 160 years to the reign of King George IV when a local entrepreneur, Seth Senior built a brewery on the site in 1829. Legend has it the business was started with a borrowed sovereign and many believe that in commemoration of its origins, a gold coin is still buried somewhere on the premises…. how cool is that?!

🚨EMERGENCY FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR 9 MONTH OLD NARLA !!!🚨

Narla is a medium sized Staffy crossbreed who 9 months old and is URGENTLY needing to come into our care ‼️ BUT… we can ONLY do this if we can find a foster home for her as we literally have no room in kennels 🚨

We have been to meet her and she is adorable - a typical wiggly medium sized puppy who will need lots of time, patience and training, as all young dogs do ❤️

She can possibly live with a neutered male dog, but you would need means to introduce slowly, and facilities to fully and securely be able to seperate 🐶 She can be placed with children 10+ ❤️ She will need plenty of company as she’s only a baby ❤️

If you are available in the next few days to foster Narla, PLEASE get in touch - thank you!! 🤞❤️

🐶 Thinking About Getting a Dog? Here’s What to Consider First! 🐶

Getting a dog is a wonderful and rewarding experience, but it’s also a long-term commitment. Before bringing a furry friend into your life, take a moment to reflect on these important questions:

❤️1. Is the Breed Suitable for You?

🐾Research the breed’s personality, energy levels, and needs.

🐾Does the breed require lots of exercise or mental stimulation?

🐾Are they known for being good with children, other pets, or in busy households?

🐾If adopting a mixed breed, consider the general traits of the mix.

❤️2. Do You Have a Suitable Environment?

🐾Do you have enough space indoors and outdoors for the dog to feel comfortable?

🐾Is your garden secure and escape-proof?

🐾Do you live in a home that allows pets (if renting)?

🐾Consider whether your environment is quiet or busy and how this matches the dog's temperament.

❤️3. Do You Have Enough Time to Commit?

🐾Dogs need daily exercise, playtime, and training. Can you commit the time needed?

🐾Puppies and some rescue dogs require extra care, including house training and socialisation.

🐾Are you prepared for the time it takes to groom, feed, and care for them every single day?

❤️4. Can You Afford the Costs of Owning a Dog?

🐾Beyond the initial cost of getting a dog, can you afford ongoing expenses? This includes food, toys, grooming, training, and vet bills.

🐾Consider unexpected costs, such as emergency vet visits or medication for illnesses.

🐾Pet insurance can help, but it’s an additional monthly expense to budget for.

❤️5. Are You Ready for a Lifetime Commitment?

🐾Dogs can live 10-15+ years, depending on the breed. Are you prepared to care for them through every stage of their life?

🐾Think about how your lifestyle may change over time (e.g., moving house, having children, changes in work). Will you still have the time and resources for a dog?

❤️6. Can You Meet Their Emotional and Social Needs?

🐾Dogs are social animals and thrive on companionship. If you work long hours or are away often, how will you ensure your dog isn’t lonely?

🐾Would you consider doggy daycare, a pet sitter, or a walker to keep them happy?

❤️7. Have You Considered Adoption?

🐾Many wonderful dogs in shelters are waiting for a second chance. Adopting can be a great way to find a dog that matches your lifestyle while giving them a loving home.

🐾 Plus, most legitimate rescues will take the dog back if you have issues or can no longer look after it.

❤️8. Do You Understand the Breed’s Lifelong Needs?

🐾Some breeds have specific grooming requirements (e.g., regular haircuts or nail trimming).

🐾Others are prone to certain health issues – do you know what to expect?

🐾Active breeds may need more stimulation and exercise, while others may prefer a quieter lifestyle.

A dog can bring so much joy to your life, but they depend on us for their happiness and well-being. Taking the time to consider these questions will ensure you’re ready to welcome a dog into your home and provide them with the love and care they deserve.

🌬️ High Winds Safety Reminder for Dog Owners 🌬️

Hi everyone,

With the strong winds we’ve been having, it’s important to double-check your gardens before letting your dogs out. Fallen fences, loose gates, or debris could create an easy escape route for curious pups!

✅ What to Check:

🐾Ensure fences and gates are secure and upright.

🐾Look for gaps or damage caused by the wind.

🐾Clear any fallen branches or objects that could pose a hazard.

Taking a quick moment to inspect your garden can help keep your furry friends safe and prevent any unexpected adventures! 🐾

Stay safe, and feel free to share this reminder with other pet owners.

🐾🐾Best friends forever... Two of our puppies having a playdate. Watch them both stop, shake off and resume play. This is a way to calm themselves down. Notice how the play is very even. Not one puppy jumping all over the other, but taking it in turns ❤️

🙏A small favour

❄️ When the ice/snow has gone, support your small businesses first.

They need your support. They have missed a week of income, this could make it break them ❤️

To the Speed Demon Behind Me on the Ice Rink Roads Today…

First of all, thank you for demonstrating your incredible mastery of physics by tailgating me on an icy road while I was transporting four dogs—aka PRECIOUS CARGO—and sticking to the speed limit. Clearly, you were in such a rush to get to wherever, you thought, "What’s a little risk of a pile-up?"

Honestly, I applaud your bravery. Racing up behind me like you were auditioning for Fast & Furious: Frozen Fury—on roads where you could’ve easily ended up in a ditch—was a bold move. But here’s the thing: I’ve got a car full of fur babies to keep safe, so your impatience? Not my problem.

Here’s a thought for next time: maybe slow down, give space, and remember that the world isn’t a Mario Kart track. You’ll get where you’re going, and we’ll all arrive in one piece. (And my four-legged passengers will thank you too!)

Drive safe, folks. Or don’t. But stay away from my bumper, yeah?

Warm regards,
The Person Who Values Life Over Speed

🚨 Snowy Weather Update for Our Clients 🚨

Good morning lovely people,

With the snow making the roads a bit tricky, we want to ensure we can still look after your furry friends while keeping our team safe. 🐾

To help us out:
❄️ Let us know ASAP if you don’t need us to walk your dog.
❄️ Ensure we have access to your house and parking.
❄️ We will do our best, but not all walks will be possible, we may just drop in and let out if we can get there.

We will keep you updated. We’re doing our best to keep everything running smoothly, and your help makes a big difference. Thank you for your support! 💕

Stay safe and cosy,
Tori
