Toby 2 has been with our rescue for a while now, He's quite a popular boy with our dog walkers, he gets lots of extra walks and trips out, even to the pub. This boy is looking for a child and animal free home. He is a lovely and energetic boy who requires a family to be patient with him and his needs whilst keeping him entertained and occupied as often as they can. His favourite things to do are: go on walks, especially exploring in the woods, playing fetch with his ball and have a good long swim. He is a cheeky chap and loves a good head scratch. He’s brilliant at recall and commands and is a testament to the intelligent nature of a Springer Spaniel. Toby is good in the car and happily sleeps strapped in with his harness on the back seat so he can be at his full potential when you arrive at your destination. Please enquire if you feel like Toby would be a good fit for you.

🦷 **A Gentle Reminder About Your Dog’s Teeth…** 🐾

We’ve just had one of our lovely rescue dogs in for a dental—and it was a big one. His teeth were in a terrible state, and the procedure cost £800. That included a scale and polish, dental X-rays, and extractions. If more teeth had needed to come out, a second stage would have been required, adding another £500 to the bill.

(📸 *Pictures in the comments—just in case you’re squeamish or mid-sandwich!*)

And he’s not alone. We’ve already had two other dogs in for dentals recently, and we’ve got three more lined up. That’s six dogs in a short space of time needing serious dental work. It’s not just a coincidence—it’s a widespread issue.

🛑 **Why does this matter?**
Dental disease isn’t just about bad breath. It causes pain, infection, and can even affect the heart, kidneys, and liver. Dogs are incredibly stoic, so they often suffer in silence until the damage is severe.

💡 **What can you do?**
- Brush your dog’s teeth regularly (yes, really!)
- Use dental chews or vet-approved additives
- Feed a good diet and avoid human food, especially sweet treats
- Book in for annual vet checks and scale & polish if needed
- Watch for signs like bad breath, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or reluctance to eat

Every dog deserves a pain-free mouth and a healthy life. If you’ve adopted from us, or even if you haven’t, please take a moment today to check your dog’s teeth. Prevention is far kinder—and far cheaper—than cure.

Thank you for caring, as always 💛

⚡ Meet Poppy — Tiny, Wild, and Wonderfully Full of Beans ⚡

Don’t let her size fool you — Poppy is a pocket rocket with turbo-charged energy and a zest for life that’s impossible to ignore 🚀

She came into rescue after her owners separated. With four young children and one very spirited dog, her previous home just couldn’t keep up. Described (accurately!) as “wild,” Poppy is a whirlwind of friendliness, enthusiasm, and non-stop motion.

She adores people, loves other dogs, and throws herself into every moment with gusto. On the lead, she pulls like a freight train — so much so she’s made herself sick from the excitement (don’t worry, she’s tiny and manageable). Off lead, she’s got very little recall… because she’s far too busy hunting imaginary squirrels and living her best life.

Poppy needs a pet home that matches her energy — someone active, patient, and ready to invest in her training and stability. She’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re looking for a joyful, chaotic little companion who’ll keep you on your toes and fill your days with laughter, she might just be your girl.

🐾 Charlie 2 — A Loyal Soul with a Traveller’s Heart 🐾

Charlie’s coat is a masterpiece — striking, unique, and unforgettable. But it’s his spirit that truly shines.

This beautiful boy came into rescue after his beloved owner, who had dementia, moved into care. Their bond was deep, and Charlie stayed by his side through 18 months of upheaval following a flood at home — moving between spare rooms, caravans, B&Bs, hotels, and a campervan. Through it all, Charlie never faltered. As long as his dad was there, he was content.

When they finally settled, it became clear his dad had dementia and could no longer care for him safely. Charlie managed to get clipped by a car — thankfully uninjured, but now understandably wary near roads. Away from traffic, he walks beautifully on the lead and is excellent off it.

Charlie is a settled, loving soul. He’s friendly with other dogs, reportedly wonderful with children of all ages, and a seasoned traveller who’s perfectly behaved in pubs, cafés, and restaurants. He’s looking for a home where he can finally rest — with people who’ll cherish him as much as he’s cherished others.

🐾 Tucker – a joyful spirit with a one-of-a-kind stride 🐾

Tucker is a gorgeous boy who came to us through the stray kennels, so his history is unknown. We estimate he’s around 3 to 4 years old, though his playful energy and puppy-like enthusiasm suggest he might be younger at heart.

He was briefly rehomed, but sadly returned when his new family found his energy levels a bit too much for them. Tucker is lively, affectionate, and full of zest—he’ll thrive in a home that can match his spirit and guide him with patience.

One thing you’ll notice straight away are Tucker’s back legs. They’re visibly different, and after thorough checks including X-rays and a consultation with a specialist vet, the consensus is to leave them be. His kneecaps face the wrong way, causing his legs to bend unusually. Surgery was investigated, but it would be major and largely cosmetic. Tucker isn’t in pain, and his legs don’t hold him back—he runs, plays, and enjoys life just like any other dog. He may be prone to arthritis earlier than most, but this would be the case with or without surgery.

Tucker will need training in all areas. On a lead, he doesn’t pull excessively but does spin and weave around. Off-lead, he tends to stay close but can get distracted now and then. He absolutely loves the company of other dogs, and we believe he’d do best in a home with a calm, confident canine companion who can help show him the ropes.

Tucker is a special boy with a huge heart. He’s ready for a home that sees past his quirks and embraces his joyful, loving nature.
