Sessions are £30 for thirty mins for up to 5 small or 3 large dogs from the same household/one car. Please take a look at our T&C’s in the featured post at the top of the page ⬆️

A big Little Legs welcome to Camille the hairless Frenchie who has been surrendered today 💕
Camille is two years old and only a tiny lady at just under 7kg.
We have already been to see Uncle Keith and have a plan for her skin, we have checked her eyes for ulcers and also discussed her spay surgery and an operation to correct her tail pocket.
Camille is a very special girl with the sweetest nature and she’s already mixing well with the other long term resident dogs at Little Legs HQ ☺️💕🏡
Would anyone like to become Camille’s guardian angel and long term sponsor? She will not leave our care until we are 100 percent happy we have exhausted every option to get her in the best possible shape 🐶🐾

Robbie says a big thank you to Jill, Lucy and Dorothy who sent a donation towards his vets bill today 🫶🏼 he’s home and sleeping off the anaesthetic and recovering from his castration, full dental, removal of four teeth, microchipping and vaccination. It’s a lot for this little boy who only weighs just under 7kg but it’s putting him on the right path to find his forever humans 💕🐶

Robbie Williams is rejoining the band! 🎸🧔🏻‍♂️👨🏼🧔🏻‍♂️👨🏼🧔🏻‍♂️ realising a solo career wasn’t for him, he wants to come to the safety of Little Legs and start again 🤣
Who remembers the Take That Terriers from earlier in the year? Swipe to see the gang, his three brothers and Dad.
Before we were able to take the boys in, the previous owner gave away one of the dogs and we had no idea where he had gone. Well everything comes back around, and now Robbie is back. His new owner contacted us to say she urgently needed to surrender him as could not keep him in her flat and had been trying unsuccessful to give him away.
Tonight we have taken in Robbie the terrier as an emergency case, tomorrow he is off to for castration, a dental, vaccinating and microchipping. Robbie needs the full works and this doesn’t come cheap.
Did you know we pay all our own vets bills? We are totally self funded and you can send a donation here

Lovely Luna was adopted today 😍🙋🏻‍♀️🐶

18/07/2024

I’ve got some amazing news to share 😍😍😍
Tonight Beryl’s adopters came to collect her…..and they adopted Belinda too!!
It was not planned, but after seeing them apart and together, it was absolutely the right thing to do.
Adopting pairs of dogs out together is so hard right now due to the cost of living, vets bills, double adoption fees, etc. I’m so grateful to their new family for keeping them together 💕🐶🐶

Little Belinda is in today for her neutering 💕🐾

14/07/2024

Beautiful Beryl is ready for her forever home and humans 😍💕🐶🏡
Beryl is a fawn female French Bulldog who is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and flea and worm treated. Beryl can live with other dogs and older children, her profile is here

🐾 UPDATE 🐾

Thank you for all the messages, forms, home checks and enquiries we had for Maggie and Buttercup. There were literally hundreds of them!
Maggie has been placed in a lovely home with older children and another playful Jack Russell, just perfect for her. Buttercup has gone to heal the broken heart of a local family who sadly lost their Dachshund recently.

🐶 Did you know that all the enquiries, messages, social media, applications, home checks, calls, texts, adoption agreements and follow up care are all handled by one person? On top of family life, looking after dozens of dogs, vet visits and trying to maintain some sort of life and sanity? All for no salary? This is why I’m unable to give individual feedback to people or am reluctant to answer my personal phone at 10pm at night.

🐶 Did you know that the only person who helps is my 76 year old Mum who has at least a dozen dogs in her care at any one time?

🐶 Were you also aware that despite being a nation of animal lovers, most days we get abusive, rude and at the least pushy messages asking why they didn’t get a dog/why we can’t take a dog/or why they haven’t received a reply to an enquiry?

We are burnt out, we do this for nothing other than the love of dogs. Most days we question the energy and resolve we have to continue. But we always do.

For the kind, genuine and compassionate people and adopters who support us we are very grateful 💕

Our lovely boys have all been castrated today and had full dentals to get them ready for their new homes. As you can see they are already up and about, wagging their tails and enjoying some snacks before bed. Thank you again to Copper Beech Veterinary Surgery Ltd who always take such good care of our dogs - without them we wouldn’t be able to make ends meet with our vets bills ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️🐾🐶

Thank you to Olivia at Animal Barn in Southport for getting the boys nice and clean ❤️🐾🐶🐶🐶🐶

My Take That boys! The boys are approximately four years old, they have spent their whole lives living in a top floor flat with no outside space. They have never left the flat, been on a walk or even gone to the toilet outside 💔 Jason is the dad to the three others, who were an accidental litter with mum Mina. I’m surprised (but thankful) there haven’t been more puppies. Two of the dogs have been crudely clipped off today before I went to collect them, which has helped slightly as they were matted to the skin when I first saw them at the weekend - so it will save some time tomorrow with the groomers. While they have not been mistreated per se, their living conditions have been totally inappropriate and due to the condition of the flat, their owner is now being evicted from the property. Another local rescue was approached to help and they didn’t just decline, but actually said ‘they didn’t care’ when a well meaning member of the public contacted them to say their owner was discussing throwing them out onto the street and abandoning them 😔 None of the dogs have ever seen a vet, been neutered, vaccinated or even microchipped. They won’t drink water from a bowl and instead prefer to lick puddles from the floor. We are already over capacity, we don’t have any staff or kennels and are simply a Mother and Daughter, two dog lovers who started a rescue some years ago and it snowballed. We get no formal funding, we do all the admin, caring, vet trips, walking, home checking and nursing ourselves from our own homes. We are over capacity with a big wait list and dogs due every week, but we couldn’t say no in this case. I contacted the largest animal welfare agency in the UK on Saturday - let’s just call them the R***A, explained the condition of the flat and the concerns with the dogs, urine burns, underweight, matted, weeping eyes from the ammonia in the air. While the officer who called me back two days later was nice, he basically confirmed tha
