Callie (formally Rosie)

The blonde bombshell on the right of this photo is Callie. Callie arrived with us in June 2023 having been re-homed just 5 days prior. She was terrified of the world and it took us days to get her out of the kennel, with gentle reassurance and lots of patience we soon became pals.

Vet visits were an experience too and she had her 2nd vaccination in the back of the van as the car park and practice were just too busy the day we went.

Barbara got in touch having fallen in love with a friend's Lurcher and after a wee chat about Callie she traveled down from Angus to meet her. She agreed to visit a number of times to spend time with Callie and build a relationship. 62 days after she arrived with us, Callie went off to live with Barbara. They've had some really difficult times and Callie is still frightened of walking through doorways but they're best pals and this photo is of a recent holiday they had with a friend and their dog.

Thank you for adopting a PADS dog Barbara.

In memory of Deacon 💙

13yo Deacon passed away in his Dad's arms on the way to the vets on Monday morning. His Mum Vicki is devastated and although Deacon was not a PADS dog she wanted to help other dogs in his memory.

She travelled to the kennels today with all these goodies and the remaining food she'd had for him. Vicki brought us laundry powder, bleach, blankets, towels and treats for the dogs in our care.

Vicki told me Deacon was "protective, kind, hugely tolerant of his sister and loved by everyone who met him. He would sit and stare in my eyes when I spoke to him and he’d let me rant or be sad and sit with me and snuggle in to make me feel better."

What a wonderful legacy for Deacon. 💜

RIP Fizz 🩷

Little Fizz passed away recently, having been rehomed in January 2017. She put up a great fight with an illness but David & Irene had to make the difficult decision to let her go.

Irene & David sent a beautiful card and a cheque for £250.00 in her memory. 💜

Irene wrote:
"Just a thank you for giving us Fizz, she gave us so much love and now the home seems so empty without her. She was a wee fighter the vets said but she has cross the Rainbow Bridge and can run free. We have so many happy memories of Fizz and will cherish these for along, long time."

I'm sure all the Dunning residents will miss her cheeky wee face too 💙

Molly 🏅

This beautiful lady was terrified of everything when she came to us, we understand that she lived in a home where she regularly witnessed and was the victim of domestic violence.

Molly took such fright one day by a new member of staff that she cleared a 6ft fence without hesitation and was trying to scale the security fences in our compound.

Caroline worked her socks off to gain her trust and got Molly to a point where we knew the only way to help her was to find her a kind and experienced owner and get her out of the very busy and noisy kennels.

Step forward Lee from rural Aberdeenshire! Medically retired with large breed experience we were thrilled when Molly didn't immediately run away when she saw him. Lee made the 6 hour round trip one day and returned again the next day to see her again - he was smitten 🥰

Molly settled in quickly in Buchan and being in the home really helped her confidence grow. Asking for hugs from the dishwasher repair man within the first week was a sure sign she was already feeling safer. Lee dedicated his days to helping Molly overcome her fear of vets, strangers, dogs, car travel, resource guarding and separation anxiety and now, 15 months since she was adopted she's not the same dog. Molly likes meeting people and other dogs, enjoys off lead walks, loves travelling in the van, looks after the house when no-one is home instead of panicking and looking for ways to escape. Her only issue is that pesky cat who Lee reports keeps her in line!

We are thrilled to receive this photo of Molly having won 4th place at Mintlaw Dog Show last weekend. Doesn't she look happy 😁

Thank you so much Lee and family for your dedication, Molly can enjoy the rest of her life without fear 💙💜

Abby 💜

Sweet Abby was handed into the Police as a stray in August, her chip registered to the "breeder" in Northern Ireland who was not interested. After her statutory seven day period she was advertised for rehoming and quickly snapped up by Mike & Ainsley and their dog Gem. We love updates from our dogs and were thrilled to get this message from Ainsley which she's kindly given me permission to share:

" Hey Jo and PADS team! According to Abby's microchip details, it was her 3rd birthday earlier this week! So I thought it would be a nice time to give you a little update. I'm pleased to say it's a good one! Abby is thriving! The last few months have been so positive, she's really settled into the home and truly cemented herself as one of the family. She's experienced her first weekend away and hotel stay, has been on loads of walks and has had her first introduction to mountain biking with me and Mike. She's still a wild thing at times but loves her cuddles and lazy mornings on the couch. She really is a wee cracker 😊"

Thanks for keeping in touch, so glad to see her looking so well.
