🎉 30 Happy Tails in October! 🎉

A very overdue update from us — but with a whopping 30 rehomes last month (yep, too many to fit on one post for the first time ever!), it’s fair to say October kept us seriously busy! 🎃

As always, an enormous thank you to our incredible team, volunteers, and foster carers who make every single adoption possible. We couldn’t do this without you.

Halloween costumes can be fun for us, but not for our pets. 🎃 Let your furry friend enjoy the celebrations just as they are!

Ahead of Halloween, we're sharing just some of the reasons not to dress up your pets:

🎃 Costumes will restrict their movement.
🎃 Pets become the sole focus and receive lots of unwanted attention.
🎃 It prevents them from showing their natural behaviours.
🎃 They can't communicate with other dogs.
🎃 You may not be able to read their cues.
🎃 It can cause stress.

🎃 Top Tips to Keep Your Dog Happy This Halloween! 🐾

Halloween can be a spooky night for our pets, but with a little planning, you can help your dog feel calm and safe:

👣 Walk them before it gets dark or try fun indoor games like training or food toys.

🚪 Keep them settled when the doorbell rings, a long-lasting chew or stuffed Kong can work wonders.

👻 Remember, costumes can confuse or scare dogs, give them space from the door if they prefer it.

🍬 Keep sweets and chocolate well out of paw’s reach!

💙 Reward calm behaviour and make sure your dog has a cosy, quiet space to relax.

179 days and waiting, and still nothing. 💔

Transferred from another charity, Nutmeg is now under our care and searching for a loving home as a non-ridden companion.

Despite being young, she is making wonderful progress in her training and is forming positive bonds with her handlers.

If you're looking for a kind-hearted companion to love and nurture, Nutmeg may be just the pony for you.

Errol arrived in our care in a terrible state, weak, injured, and clearly in pain. 💔

X-rays revealed he’d been shot with a pellet gun and was suffering from multiple infected bite wounds and scratches from a life on the street.

Despite everything he’d been through, Errol proved to be a gentle giant who wanted nothing more than head rubs and a full bowl of food.

Because Errol is FIV positive, he needed a safe, indoor-only home, and after 65 days in our care, he finally found a loving family to call his own. ❤️

When Vikki faced the heartbreaking decision to put her horse Bella to sleep after 13 years together, she felt lost. In the weeks following her loss, she found comfort in our pet loss Facebook group, where the community offered overwhelming support.

Now, Vikki actively helps others who are going through similar experiences and even spoke about our group on the Jeremy Vine Radio 2 show.

Many people share the pain of losing a pet, and no one should go through it alone. Join our community here 👉 https://bit.ly/2WpJHDD

Please don’t judge Hope and Chance simply because they look different. 💔

These two tiny puppies were found abandoned in a cardboard box, along with another sibling - cold, frightened, and alone.

After being rescued by our expert team, it was clear they’d been through far more than any puppy ever should. All of them required urgent care for severe facial injuries. Sadly, one did not survive, but Hope and Chance continued to fight for their lives.

Heartbreakingly, we believe they were attacked by another animal, and then deemed unsellable by a breeder and abandoned.

Despite such a tragic start to life, Hope and Chance are living up to their names. They may look different, but they have not given up.

After everything they’ve endured, all they want now is what every dog deserves - a safe and loving home with a family that will love them unconditionally.

Could you be the happy ending they’ve been waiting for? 👉 https://bit.ly/4qnYwAa

Poor Haru hasn’t had the best luck. 💔

She was found wandering alone near a pub, and now she’s been waiting a staggering 181 days for a home. We can’t understand why! She’s such a gentle, sweet, and friendly girl.

Haru’s dream is a calm, quiet home where she can finally relax and feel safe after everything she’s been through.

Lilly arrived at one of our rehoming centres after her breeder realised she was blind. 💔

They entrusted us with the task of finding her a specialised home and the care she would always need.

We were determined to give Lilly the best chance at a happy life, and Leanne quickly stepped in to foster her, providing the expert support she required.

Thanks to Leanne’s nurturing, Lilly soon transformed from a shy, scared puppy into a lively dog full of enthusiasm for life, despite her disability. She even learned verbal cues that helped her understand the world around her!

After 34 days in our care, the perfect family adopted her, and Lilly now has a best friend named Barry. 💙

"Please comfort them while I can’t. I can’t afford to feed them, and it breaks my heart," were the heartbreaking words of Layla and Trixie’s owner. 💔

Unfortunately, stories like this are all too common. As living costs rise, many are having to choose between feeding themselves and caring for their beloved animals.

That’s why we launched pet food banks across the UK, designed to support pet owners during these challenging times.

Layla and Trixie were clearly loved and in good health, so we found them a new loving home.

More than 112 days, that's how long Miso has been waiting for someone to finally choose him. 💔

Miso is a little dog with a big personality! Full of character, sociable, and happiest when spending time with people. Miso dreams of an adult-only home where his humans are around to keep him company and help him feel more confident when left alone.

Miso isn’t asking for much, just someone who understands him. With patience, respect, and love, he’ll give back a lifetime of loyalty and laughter.

Miso does enjoy meeting other dogs (though he can be a bit chatty about it!) and could happily enjoy his home with another friendly dog.

Could you be the one to finally give Miso the home he’s been waiting so long for?

Howard Moon has been in our care for more than 125 days, still dreaming of the loving forever home he longs for. 💔

Howard came to us as a stray, anxious, unwell and covered in fleas. After a thorough health check along with vaccinations, worming and neutering, Howard made his way to a peaceful foster home where he could start his journey of discovering life as a beloved pet.

In this home environment, Howard's calm and gentle personality began to blossom as he relaxed and became more trusting.

Although diagnosed with stage-one kidney disease, Howard doesn't require any medication for this, nor does it impact his current quality of life. His only wish is for a family who will cherish him exactly as he is.

Howard is searching for a pet-free home where he can build slow and meaningful relationships with his people. He'd thrive in a peaceful environment that allows him to settle in at his own pace, grow in confidence, and learn the warmth of unconditional love.

Could you be the one to love Howard to the moon and back?
