Ernie is our featured guest today looking for a new home. He's 4 years and came to us originally because his owner enjoyed socialising with other dog walkers and Ernie would be very vocal and his owner struggled with this. He was rehomed but came back to us after 2 years following incidents with the children

He's a friendly boy and happily greets everyone he meets but due to the above incidents we wouldn't home him with children under 16 years old. He is housetrained, is good when left alone for a few hours, responds well to basic commands and travels well. He does sometimes bark at other dogs when out walking and doesn't really know how to behave in close contact as he does become worried. Chases cats.

Well done Smudge and family - Hello! I wanted to give you a little update on Smudge who we adopted from you nearly 2 months ago. He has come such a long way from the shaking nervous dog he was when we met him, he's turned into a lively and energetic puppy who's tail is always wagging and is simply a joy to be around. Whilst still wary of new people, he loves going out on walks; a bit of a change from the dog who was terrified of leads and collars when we got him!

He's discovered a love of toys, and enjoys playing tug with his big sister especially. He's slowly gaining weight and is up to a much healthier 16kg with a few more kilos still to go! Thank you so much for letting us have this wonderful young dog in our lives - we adore him completely.

Apparantly today is National Porridge Day. Plain, cooked oatmeal can be a great addition to your dog's diet. Rich in soluble fibre, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins that help support your dog's coat and skin. The high fibre content helps promote digestion and weight management. Just be sure to cook it gently in water and serve plain (not too hot!), without added sugar or flavourings. Use a plain brand of oats, not the pre-flavoured kinds.

A big thank you to BullyBillows for their recent kind donation of collars and leads.

Another recent arrival is Pippin. 1 year old, he came to us from another rescue where he had been relinquished. He's a friendly, bouncy boy but is easily over stimulated and is sensitive to noise so requires a quiet home without young children.

Thank you Richard and Karen - Hi everyone at Border Collie Trust

After losing our Special Boy Basil our house was so empty without him. We decided to adopt another dog. After 3 boys, we picked a girl Say hello to our 4 year old Ally. She is so affectionate and loving and has not put a paw wrong. She was scared of everything around her even her own shadow in the mirror but that has improved greatly. Thanks for letting us adopt her.

Over the last few days we've noticed a number of comments from followers who have tried to share some of our posts but have had them deleted. While we are having to report and delete scam and false posts daily ourselves it appears the FB AI can spot a genuine rescue post at 100 yards and won't allow them! If you can, and happy to do so, please appeal everytime this happens. Hopefully the AI will learn a thing or two! Thank you
