Meet rottie Roxy 🤎🖤

This lovely girl came to us after experiencing arthritic pain to see if we could help. Alongside the pain relief her vets have prescribed we have done a course of physiotherapy and hydrotherapy treatments with her. Roxys owners are delighted with the results, reporting a much more content and mobile girl.

All of our individual tailored treatments are physio led and their sessions consist of a number of manual and electrical techniques. Owners are given a home exercise plan which is revised at each visit. We have the option of both pool and treadmill when we are ready to add hydrotherapy so we are confident we can treat any patient.

This full combined service means we can really optimise your pets rehabilitation and recovery, please contact us today to find out how we can help you 🐾

Meet Edward 🐻

Lucky to walk away with just a broken leg after being kicked by a horse, we have being doing hydro and physio rehab following surgery to plate and fix the break. He is definitely small but mighty and has healed extremely well however the cold snap has set him back a little. By reducing his free roaming at the yard and stepping up his treatment frequency again we are getting back to where he was pre Christmas.

You are a pro Edward 😍

Meet rescue x Bruno 🤍🤎

This lovely boy was brought to us for rehab following spinal surgery. Session one he was a bundle of nerves, mistrust and very guarded and his owners were very apprehensive about what we would be able to achieve. Just 4 sessions later he is fully engaged with us, working hard in his sessions and allowing us to get hands on. This means as well as starting to rebuild atrophied muscle, we are able to help correct his gait pattern and help address secondary compensatory pains.

We work at every dogs individual pace tailoring the program to get the best from them and will not push any one to fast too soon. Usually even the most fearful will settle in their own time so please do call us to discuss individual needs if you’d like our help.

Onwards and upwards lovely boy 🐾

‼️ HELP SAVE SEDR ‼️

Here it goes 🥺... This is without doubt the hardest post I’ve ever had to write 💔

For over 16 years, I have dedicated my heart, soul, and life to building a rescue that provides safety, love, and hope to countless abandoned and neglected dogs. But now, everything I’ve worked so hard for is at risk.

The kennels we rent, which have been the heart of our rescue for the past 5 years, is up for sale with planning for warehouses to be built. We need to raise the funds to buy or find a new home for our dogs—or risk losing it all.
We have mutually rented the site for the past 5 years with other rescues…and whilst we will all continue to support each other…we are all working on our own rescues futures individually given the variations in what is needed by each.

I started SEDR in 2009 as a home-run effort, taking in one dog at a time. It’s quickly grown into a lifeline for 1000’s of dogs—many of whom came to us from unimaginable circumstances. We’ve rehomed dogs, provided sanctuary for those who couldn’t cope in traditional homes, and supported struggling families with food, neutering, and foster care. We’ve upheld a strict no-kill policy and been a last resort for dogs who had nowhere else to turn.

Now, those dogs, along with our sanctuary residents, are facing uncertainty.

We want to raise £1.7 million to buy our kennel site, what we now call home, and save this rescue—16 years of hard work, sacrifice, and love—from being lost forever.

We are under no illusion that the funds needed is possible, but we’re not willing to give up without a fight - our dogs, and future dogs, are ALL worth it!

As a single mum running SEDR, I’ve poured everything I have into building this rescue. I’ve never taken a wage, nor would I want to. These dogs have saved me just as much as I’ve saved them. My incredible daughter Skye, our amazing supporters, and the volunteers who’ve stood by us have been my rock. And together, we’ve shown the absolute best of what compassion can achieve.

But right now, I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and heartbroken. Finding a suitable place to rent feels impossible, and we don’t have funds sitting in the bank to buy somewhere. All I want is to secure a safe and happy life for the dogs who depend on us—the Jaspers, the Tegans, the Bugsys, and the ones who haven’t yet crossed our path.

This is our most desperate hour. If you love dogs, believe in rescue, or know what it’s like to see hope in a dog’s eyes, we need your help.

Every share, donation, or word of support brings us closer to securing a forever home for these dogs.

If you know of a suitable location or have ideas to help us secure the future of SEDR, please reach out. Together, we can protect the dogs who’ve already been through so much and continue to be a lifeline for those in need.

Please join us. Let’s not let these dogs down.

Gorgeous Winkle, our final swimmer of 2024 and what a year it’s been 💫 a huge and heartfelt thanks to all our patients old & new for keeping us so busy.

I personally find the end of the year very tough, and I want to take this moment to remember all those who won’t be with us in the new year for many reasons. we’ve lost too many too soon this year 🌈

It’s stressful, it’s a juggle and I question whether im doing the best I can all of the time but it is THE best and most rewarding job I could wish for and Im so lucky and grateful to have the very best people around me both at work and at home to help and support me every day. Genuinely, I’d be a fraction of what I am without you all. I’m excited for the new year and the challenges and achievements it will bring.

Happy New Year friends, sending big love to you all 🫶🏼 xx

Pocket bully Bear came to us after a cruciate injury. The vets prescribed a course of targeted medication injected into the stifle joint and then signed him over to us for rehab. He isnt a fan of sitting still so we keep him busy on the treadmill and when he’s in the right mood we add laser post sessions. We are able to push him harder every week and he is going from strength to strength, nicely rebuilding the leg muscle he lost whilst recuperating.

He is a credit to his owners and a BIG softie - we always love our Saturday Bear cuddles 🐻 🐾

It has to be Lokis turn to say hi on 🎄

Given how well has bounced back from spinal surgery, he is certainly living up to the characteristics of his name sake: magic, superhuman strength, healing and longevity. His dedicated owner has been in for hydrotherapy and physiotherapy every week for 6 months and in the new year when the warmer weather returns we will move to a maintenance program for as long as he needs our support. Keep up the incredible work lovely boy 💪🏼

Meet super sweet rescued street dog Fitzy 💛

She was a wound up bundle of pain and nerves when she first came to us in Sept, difficult for vets to assess because she was so petrified to be touched. We have given her lots of gentle encouragement and time in her hydrotherapy sessions allowing her to work at her own pace. Her lovely owner couldn’t be happier with the results. She runs in to greet us and accepts all our touch, gives wags and kisses a plenty out and about, she’s back to digging up the garden and is generally a chilled and much happier girl.

We often tell owners they will see changes in personality and mood as well as mobility and we couldn’t be happier for this to happen for Fitzy 🐾

Meet big beautiful Bagel 🖤

This lovely lad has been visiting us for rehab after starting to struggle with his front legs on walks. Painful elbows meant his walks had become restricted and playing was a big no. Fast forward a few months and he is back to his bouncy best running through fields with his best friend who recommended us to him 🥰

We started his rehab with alternate weekly hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and as he has shown such good improvements we will now start to stretch out those appts and move him onto to a maintenance plan to get him comfortably through winter ❄️

Bagel was not a water lover and his owners were nervous of how he would take to treatment, but we have built his confidence slowly and let him set the pace with a fear free approach. Now he’s all smiles from start to finish and we’re absolutely smitten 🐾

Please look out for a missing dog that has been sighted at several locations around Caterham and Godstone (Flower lane).
She’s a large grey Weirmaraner wearing a basket muzzle.
We are aware of sightings and possible locations mentioned on the Caterham Life Group including Quarry Road, Godstone which appears to be the last sighting and maybe headed towards Marden Park.

Please do not approach her as she is clearly scared and will run off but instead please keep an eye on her and call her owner on directly 07968 107676 who is out actively looking for her.

If sighted on or near the A22 then please contact 999

Meet Luna the ….. this lovely girl jumped out of a first floor window and somehow walked (hobbled) away with damage only to her carpus (wrist)….. surgery to repair a tendon went well but she is only very limited walks so exercising her in the treadmill means we can support the healing soft tissues and rebuild the muscle in the leg which has atrophied.

Alongside hydrotherapy she has weekly physiotherapy sessions in house to help alleviate compensatory pains and laser to help speed up her healing.

She is a nervous girl but brings her inner brave and is smashing her sessions, improving week on week. Now she is able to manage a little more on walks at home she should go from strength to strength 💪🏼

It’s been a tough week at HQ loosing 4 of our darling patients, 3 a big shock. It’s hard not to get emotional and we’ve shed some tears but knowing we made a difference is a good feeling. Our thoughts are with their dedicated families at this sad time 💔

Run free now Dodge, Sandy, Cooper & Jäger 🌈

Young working line Goldie Aspen joined us after hip and elbow scores revealed imperfections in her joints. Whilst this doesn’t give her any issue now her lovely owner knows this is likely to bring on arthritis at some point and is keen to keep the joints supported and mobile. We can do that by using hydrotherapy to gently build the muscles that support and facilitate the joints. We can also support her owners with lifestyle and supplement advice to keep her joints healthy as she ages.

If you know of any issue that may affect your dog in later life it’s far better to start early and keep those painful changes at bay for as long as possible. Please call today if you would like to know more about how we can help 07728000258 🐾
