More Yogi just because.
Don’t be misled by his sweet innocent face, he is everything but, and that’s why he is our no1 Sanctuary menace ❤️

Yogi as you can see, continues to thrive despite a diagnosis of Liver disease about 2 years ago ( we didn’t tell him, so please don’t you! )

As you know Sanctuary boy Big Ted has a penchant for keeping pets. In Wales it was Swallows & Sparrows, here in France his first pets were caterpillars, which he proudly watched over, and showed me daily. He graduated to a Hedgehog, an enormous one too.
Unfortunately I had to confiscate it when he steered to play rough, it seemed he thought it was some kind of prickly treat ball. Poor Hedgepig was not amused.
First I put him the other side of the fence, but he came straight back, making me wonder if it could be one of the babies Remi nurtured a few years ago. So I had to remove him to the empty paddock by the front gates, an area no dogs have access to, well except possibly Terrence,who is the exception to every rule!
He has a box, with dry grass, leaves and shredded paper to hide in, and some cat food & water. He can’t escape the paddock but has lots of excellent foraging it’s recently seeded and lovely loose soil and mole hills. Once I know for sure he is uninjured, I will release him into the fields. He is certainly an excellent size and weight

Meet Lucy – The Sweetest Little Survivor.
Lucy is a gorgeous Romanian cross-breed, born in September 2024, so now just a year old. One of nine puppies who started life on the streets of Romania. Luckily, she and her siblings were taken into safety at just a few days old, and bought over to the UK at the end of January, now she’s ready to find her forever home.

Lucy has recently been tested and is Brucella canis-free

Personality
Lucy is a gentle, loving girl who adores cuddles and playtime with her brother. She can be a little vocal at strange noises, but she’s improving every day. She thrives in the company of other dogs and would love a home where she has a canine friend. We’re also told she gets along well with cats!

Training & Behaviour
Calm and happy when walking on the lead
Comfortable and relaxed in a crate
Loves her toys – especially squeaky, chewy, and tug-of-war games
Enjoys human company and bonds quickly with people.

Ideal Home
Lucy would do best in a home with another friendly dog to give her confidence. A family who can offer her patience, love, and plenty of cuddles will be rewarded with a loyal companion. She can be sound reactive, and may bark at sounds that startle her, so probably not ideal for a terraced house.

Location
Lucy is in South West Wales �

It’s meant to be their watch, but caught snoozing.

Bartie and Terence The Wing ‘looking after’ Mum while she has a sneaky siesta.
It’s hair cut week so they wont look like loveable rogues much longer. Shame because I love the scruffy look, but any longer and brushing it becomes more difficult, neither is particularly keen - though I’m keen to keep all my fingers
