Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter

Go bugsy go! 💚🐾 Bugsy is a young chihuahua, that unfortunately was passed around and ended up in a home that wasn’t suitable for him he is loving life at the shelter in a routine and has such a happy spring in his step enjoying his exercise and building relationships and growing in his awesome personality 🤩

It was a snoozy snuggled Sunday at the maternity ward this morning. Noodle 🍜 and Gyoza 🥟 are very close and were enjoying a lie in 😻🐾💚

A huge thank you to Malvern Canine Hydrotherapy for their support and help with Lolly the lurcher who is on foster to adopt at the moment with her new family. Emma has kindly offered her services for free to help aid lolly’s recovery after her hip operation. Lolly was brought into us with a dislocated hip, and was never claimed as a stray. She’s been getting along fantastic now and these sessions mean a lot to us and lolly so thank you! 💚🐾

We hope everyone has had a brilliant Easter! 🐣 The Easter bunny visited the shelter over the weekend, here are some of the dogs enjoying their Easter treats, sadly all but Heather the blue Staffordshire bull terrier are all long stays that haven’t had any applications in a while. Mia the Dutch herder, Gromit the lurcher & Roody the mastiff cross are such people oreintated dogs they thrive in company and have come a long with us at WARS from when they arrived as worried strays. They’re individually looking for specific homes, if you would like more information to see whether you can provide the home they need check out their profiles here ➡️ https://www.wars.org.uk/our-dogs/ 💚

Update- it’s cleared down at the moment to a level that’s safe to drive through just large puddles. This is at 8:15 this morning, we have again put our temporary barriers up to stop traffic as last week someone drove through and their car cut out and had to be recovered PLEASE DO NOT RISK IT. It’s has been reported to the council. It’s up to the top of wellies in the middle just before our turning to the shelter hawthorn lane Wr135bd. It is due to rain all day today so likely to worsen. We will update later today and in the morning for access.

Update - SHELTER CLOSURE. PLEASE DO NOT Attempt TO DRIVE THROUGH. Today we are having to close to the public; please do not attempt to drive through the lane towards the shelter coming from the A449 Worcester Road. Already on foot the water is nearing tops of wellies and it’s due to rain until 3pm, so most likely will get worse. The other side/entrance to the shelter, on hawthorn lane is starting to also come across! Please take care on the roads today. Rest assured all animals and staff are safe and will be cared for throughout the day 💚

Does everyone remember Wednesday? We did a media story on this little lady back at Christmas via social media and our newsletter! Admitted around Halloween week, riddled in lice & Cat flu at the tender age of 6 weeks she was really suffering and had a long recovery journey ahead of her, she sadly lost her sight due to how severe her infection was in her eyes. She went into foster after her eye operation with one our experienced foster teams that we are lucky to have on board who really have helped us bring this little lady along and get her ready for her forever home 🏡 We visited Wednesday this week, and saw her thriving and introduced her to her new family. She goes home next Tuesday & we can’t wait to see her new adventures 😻 Wednesday really is a true example of how resilient and strong animals are, and sadly she probably won’t be the last kitten we see come through our shelter gates in her condition, but with the help of all the amazing support we receive we can continue to change lives like little Wednesdays so THANK YOU!

Spud 🥔 went home today 🏡 😻 Happy adoption day Spud, this happy gentle boy came to us as a stray at the end of October, he was really overweight and his mouth was infected and in desperate need of a dental! He like many strays was never claimed and his journey before here sounds sadly like he was passed on. Spud stole our hearts & true to his breed he adored company and people and loved his comforts and wasn’t too fond of the rain or mud, he was a true princess 👑 Spud found his amazing family recently & their sweet female pug who adore him and have all opened their hearts to him. He will be spend his days snoozing with his new companion and enjoying some family walks, he left the shelter today in his new perfect fit harness & looked like a very dapper boy! Be happy Spud 💚 #adoptdontshop

Meet Lolly, one of the many strays that’s been brought in to us recently. Lolly was brought in via the dog warden and we quickly realised that Lolly needed X rays due to her gait, despite her amazing temperament and beautiful nature this girl was in discomfort! She was X- rayed and placed on some pain medication as her results showed that poor lolly had a disolicated hip 💔 she is due to go to for an operation at the start of this week & will remain with us while we ensure she recovers and then she can find her forever home that she deserves. Lolly’s operation is estimated at £1500, if you’re able to help in anyway please follow our donation link - 🔗 https://www.wars.org.uk/donate.php You can add an additional note to say “Lolly’s operation” we really do appreciate everyone’s support at the start of a busy year, your donation will really make a big difference to us this month 💚💚 Thank you! 🐾
