I did probably the last grass cut of the year at the field this morning (yes I cut it myself weekly).

Some of my friends think I’m obsessed with cutting the grass. But I see it this way:

It makes it easier to find p**p. It’s nicer for the little dogs (it’s not just bigger dogs that use the field). And it’s like having your own massive back garden for your dogs when you use the field.

I got absolutely drenched as the weather was abysmal, but it looks nicer now and should make it ok over winter.

Today, we gathered to highlight the fantastic work of Labradors NW and the Rescue Trust of North West Golden Retriever Club. All the dogs at the event have found their forever homes, thanks to the tireless efforts of these two rescues.

It was incredible to see the impact these dog rescues have on the lives of the dogs they help. Whether they’re young or golden oldies, each one has been given a new start.

A big thank you to Claire Whaite of Furry Friends, Much Hoole for your generous donation, which made today’s event possible. Your support is appreciated by everyone involved.

Thank you to everyone who made today a success and for the continued support of these fantastic rescues ❤️🐾

Sophie has been in long-term foster with Rochdale Dog Rescue for the past few months. At 15 years old, she usually just goes out for lead walks but as you can see she’s still got plenty of energy when given the chance 😁

Thanks to a kind donation from a member of the public, Sophie now has access to a the dog field where she can enjoy some off lead time. And that’s exactly what she did this morning.

Her fosterer says “the dog field is her happy place” and it’s clear to see on this video, she absolutely loves it.

It might seem like a small thing but to Sophie it means everything ❤️🐾

Thanks to a kind family member of mine who paid for it, golden oldie Bobby had a lovely hour at the field today.

He’s very stubborn and shall we say selective with his hearing, so off lead walks are a no no.

At 13 years old, rescue Bobby ran and ran and sniffed everything. It’s moments like these that remind us why rescue work is so important.

A quick reminder for all guests:

Please arrive no more than five minutes before your scheduled time. If you do arrive early, kindly wait at the concrete wall down the track.

This helps keep the area calm for dogs that may be uncomfortable around others.

Your cooperation ensures a better experience for everyone.

Thanks for your support

A special day for Dolly.

Today, prolific fosterer Tracy Flowers took lovely foster dog Dolly for a big treat — her first time off lead since being in the care of Rochdale Dog Rescue and she had a fantastic time.

The session was again generously paid for and donated by dog rescue supporter Julie Singleton. Huge thanks to Tracy for giving Dolly this experience and to Julie for yet another thoughtful donation that made it happen ❤️🐾

Gift a Dog Field session 😁

A couple of lovely people recently gifted dog field appointments. And lots of you have asked how to do the same. I’ve found a solution and it’s really easy.

You can now buy a gift certificate through the field’s booking page. It gives you a unique code that you can pass on to a dog rescue, foster or friend in need.

The recipient just enters the code when booking their dog field session, instead of paying.

If you like, you can send me the code and I’ll gift it on your behalf. I work with two dog rescues and know people with long-term foster dogs too, so it’s easy to make sure it goes to a good home.

You’ll find the Gift Certificate option at the bottom of the appointment list under Book Our Field (check the visual in this post for reference).

It’s a practical and generous way to give someone access to the dog field and support dogs in need.

Thanks

There was a special visit today from some special dogs.

Earlier this week, the wonderful Julie Singleton approached us with a beautiful idea. As a dog rescue supporter she wanted to pay for a session at the dog field for some rescue dogs.

I immediately got in touch with Jemma Aspden from Rochdale Dog Rescue who works tirelessly on all Rochdale’s fundraising. And also takes into her home golden oldies and complex dogs for the rescue.

And today she brought along all four of her rescue dogs to the field courtesy of Julie. Three dogs enjoying their well-earned twilight years and a beautiful deaf Collie. Plus another dog who helped the deaf Collie learn to be a dog ❤️

They all had a wonderful time running free, tails wagging and hearts full. All thanks to Julie’s incredibly kind gesture.

Thank you Julie, for supporting rescue dogs and giving them such a wonderful day out. Your kindness means so much. And thank you Jemma for everything you do with Rochdale Dog Rescue ❤️❤️🐾

Yesterday, a small act of kindness made a big impact.

A regular guest couldn’t make their double booking and kindly offered the appointments to someone else. As some of you know I work with Rochdale Dog Rescue so reached out to other rescue supporters. And two rescue-loving guests stepped in.

One has three rescue dogs. The other has fostered around 900 dogs over the years. She brought her pack and sent me this photo which I just had to share.

With so much negativity in the world, it’s a reminder that there’s still so much good out there ❤️🐾

🚜 TRACK REPAIRED AGAIN 🚜

The track that leads to the dog field has had its final spruce up of the year – repaired, refreshed and ready for you.

We’ve filled holes, flattened bumps and pulled a few muscles in the process... and it’s looking good.

It’s the last repair of the year – so please drive slowly and avoid treating it like a runway (yes I know some of you do 😆).

🛞 Respect the track
🐾 Enjoy the field
💚 Support the hard work

Thanks

Winter hours are here 😢

As much as we’d all love endless summer evenings, sadly the nights have closed in. So we’ve switched over to our winter opening hours: 7am to 7pm.

Please bear in mind we’re pretty remote (which is part of the field’s charm) and there’s no power on site. So when it gets dark, it gets really dark.

I’ve put reflective stickers on the equipment which helps. But if you're booking a later slot, please make sure to bring your own light source for you and your dogs.

Thanks

I take a lot of pride in keeping the dog field clean, safe, well equipped and well looked after. Over the years I’ve worked hard to make sure it’s somewhere that feels secure, welcoming and properly maintained, so both you and your dogs can really enjoy your time here. It means a lot to know so many of you notice and appreciate that effort.

For almost three years, I’ve kept my prices exactly the same. In that time, the costs of maintaining the field, track and equipment have steadily increased. To make sure I can continue providing the same standard, I now need to make a small adjustment to the pricing.

I’m really grateful for all the support you’ve given over the years. Running a small business like this only works because of the people who keep coming back and who care about having a safe space for their dogs. So thank you, it really does make all the difference.

Prices will increase from 1 September 2025. Any spaces already booked before that date will still be at the old price.

Thanks
Fiona 🐾
