***SORTED NOW, THANK YOU ALL***

Hi All,
This is an emergency post - we need your help. Our long term foster dog Dexter has to move today. His carer has had an accident and is on the way to hospital. I have a placement for him on Wednesday but I need a quiet pet free two day foster for him until then.

Dexter is a sweet dog but has been attacked by dogs so is frightened around them. Hence he cannot come to me.

This is two days only and local. Thanks so much please share!

*** DAVE IS LOOKING FOR A DEVON OR CORNWALL HOME ***

Meet Dave, a 10 month old working strain border collie. We are beginning to take applications for this sweet natured boy.

Dave is a biddable chap, but does worry about noise so it will need to be a quiet adult home and not in town environment.

He has to have another dog for confidence, and ideally an owner who is patient and Collie savvy.

Does that sound like you? Then message us on the page 🥰🐾

** DEXTER IS LOOKING FOR A HOME IN DEVON OR CORNWALL**

Beautiful boy Dexter is wonderfully obedient, calm indoors, house trained and affectionate.

He is a neutered crossbreed. A proper Heinz 57, and the better for it.

We seek an adult older home, maybe retired but definitely still fit and able to lead walk a small to medium sized dog. Dexter enjoys his walks.

Dexter wants to be a faithful companion and needs an experienced, confident owner who is willing to lead walk a dog that doesn't pull.

Dex was attacked by other dogs and injured so he is nervous of them, but all he wants is to pass by them quietly on lead, with an owner who understands and does not get anxious themselves.

Dexter needs a home where someone who is home a lot, and you have no other pets.

Is that you? If not, please share, share, share.

We’re really grateful to Carrie Kearns, Pet Bereavement Counsellor, for sharing this post with us about anticipatory grief.
We sadly see it all too frequently in our work. But many families facing saying goodbye to their pet aren’t aware how real and how common it is, or even that they are struggling with it.
Here Carrie explains in more detail…

Anticipation according to the dictionary is described as ‘the action of anticipating something, expectation or prediction’. So when we speak of anticipatory grief this is the grief felt for a …

Kerry emailed us recently asking if we could share her Etsy shop.
Regular donations from sales will be made to the Guide Dogs charity.

‘I have just started out, and plan to raise as much for Guide Dogs UK as I can.

It came about, as I have early glaucoma, high pressure and I sponsor a guide dog. I just feel that I can make other people smile with a special card. I have had a couple of lovely reviews so far, so it makes it all worthwhile really’

***URGENT APPEAL***
We are still on the search for a temporary foster home in Devon or Cornwall for our gorgeous Staffie. If you can help, please get in touch.
Staffies are very loving dogs and this beautiful girl loves a cuddle - just with humans though. She's not a big fan of other dogs and would be happier in an animal free home.
She's a 'mature' lady and doesn't need long walks. A sofa and a bit of company is more up her street ❤️
We will cover all costs while she's with you.
***If you can help please give us a call on 0300 4000 121 or email to [email protected]
Please share this post as much as you can. We need to find this beautiful dog a loving foster family as soon as possible***
Thank you.

(this is a stock image of a Staffie as we can't use a photo of the girl we're trying to find a home for)

We found his owner!

Someone must recognise this adorable boy, found straying in Marldon?
He's neutered and microchipped, and called Archie.
Unfortunately his owner moved house last summer and his microchip hasn't been updated.
If you know an elderly woman who moved near to you last summer (possibly in the Marldon area) with a ginger cat, please let us know asap 🙏

Thank you Facebook friends - this brother and sister are off to their new home today!

We are looking for a loving home in the South West, with no other pets or young children, who would like to take these two corgis into the family. Ideally they would benefit from a home with an active person or couple, who are experienced with corgis or a working breed, have a secure garden and time to spend with them for most of the day.

They are three years old, house-trained and both enjoy a cuddle. Happy to sleep in the kitchen or lounge at bedtime. They are typical corgis, who can be shy or confident, inquisitive or needing a cuddle – it depends on how their mood takes them. They are not dog friendly and do need to be the only pets in the home.

If you believe that you can give these two charming pets, the very best home, please do get in touch with [email protected] . The Cinnamon Trust will pay all pre-authorised veterinary bills, the services of our Animal Welfare team, holiday cover and access to 24/7 emergency line too.

Please support this petition to take the Kept Animals Bill through Parliament
The Bill includes key asks including a ban on primates as pets, pre-movement testing for imported dogs, and bans on importing dogs with cropped ears and puppies under 6 months old.

Hundreds of thousands of people signed numerous petitions calling for actions that the Government has included in the Kept Animals Bill. The Government should urgently find time to allow the Bill to complete its journey through Parliament and become law.

Harvey B, 30th August 2022

A sad day today as we’d made the difficult decision that it was time to say goodbye to my gorgeous Harvey. He’s been our constant companion for over 14 years and the best dog anyone could ever wish for. Sadly his arthritis was worsening and his legs weakening. It was planned so that he could pass in the garden at home with William and me right there with him all the way before he got worse. A very gentle and peaceful passing thanks to Karen . He had the best last weekend, supervised me gardening, ice cream, paddle and play at the beach and a walk in the Cockington water meadows; his two favourite places. So sad but he was ready to go. RIP my lovely, love you so much ❤️‍🩹

Love Ali xx

Thank you for all your offers of help- we are currently going through all these, so that we can find the perfect home for these three lovely pets.

Say hello to Teddy, Daffy and Tilly, this adorable family are looking for a forever home.

They are highly sociable and affectionate, well house-trained and with good healthy appetites.
Daffy is 10 years old and an ex breeding dog so is a little nervous but a super girl who loves a cuddle. Teddy is 6 and is very laidback but loves his sisters very much. Tilly is also 6 and another ex-breeding dog. She has lost an eye and needs daily drops in her remaining eye to keep it healthy. Like many dogs used solely for breeding she is quite nervous but is the sweetest girl and once she feels comfortable is so loving.
Their owner gave them excellent care and love and we want to keep our promise to her and find her family the very best home together.

Currently in Somerset, but happy to travel to their home from home, they will remain together. So, we are looking for a loving home, where this loving trio will get all the love they can take, and together with the support of The Cinnamon Trust, paying all veterinary bills, the services of our Animal Welfare team , access to 24/7 emergency line and holiday cover too!

If you would like to give these three wonderful friends a home, please email [email protected] and we will get back to you. Please only contact us if you can take the three together as we will not split this little family. Thank you.

"Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day"

Our beautiful Max fell asleep in Manesty Woods today with Paddy and Harry, his two adoring brothers overseeing his onward journey. The sun shone, the sound of the lake, the birdsong, the breeze in the trees and the scent of his favourite woodland walk comforting him.

This small dog with the waggy tail and hugest of hearts, gave love and hope to thousands of people worldwide. Max's legacy and story will continue to grow and inspire for many years to come. Every day gave us memories and every step with you beside us was a privilege.
When you see the orange glow of a sunrise or a sunset, think of Max and he’ll be there. Our hero, a true legend, the worlds most loved dog.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to the team at Frame, Swift and Partners for going the extra mile, with two staff giving up their free time to help Max on his final journey showing the compassion, love and dignity he rightly deserved. It just was perfect.

We would like to thank you both for treating Jessie with such dignity and compassion. This was a day as a family we were all dreading, the lead up was honestly dreadful. You both allowed us as a family to say goodbye to Jessie peacefully, and in the comfort of her own home. Knowing that she went so peacefully made the day somewhat easier. We want to thank you for constant communication throughout, keeping us in the loop with what was happening, explaining everything to us, really did help. We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to spend as much time with her in her last hour as possible. Thanks to your service we know Jess crossed the rainbow bridge in the best possible way for her and for us ❤️
