Hope still needs your help - please share this post so we can get her the surgery she needs to have a happy life.
Hope came into us about 4 months ago and we were unsure if she was an XL bully breed but with an assessment, she was deemed not an XL 😃 so we were able to get her the home she deserves.
Well, she needs your help once more!
While with us, the vets picked up that she had damaged her cruciate ligament and she has been receiving physiotherapy for this here at the Centre for the last few months. On further inspection, our vets have now taken the decision that Hope will need surgery to correct this. This will be done by one of our partner referral vets. We need your help to fund her operation so we can get her fighting fit in no time.
Please donate if you can to support Hope and her next journey.

''Connah was fantastic with my little beagle, Piran. Piran had clearly had a happy time with Connah. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter who is not a friend or family and someone completely new to Piran, but Connah was great and made me feel completely at ease and confident that he was in safe hands. Connah was great at communicating and keep me updated with what they were up to, and he was happy to be flexible when my drop and off and pick up times changed last minute.''

''First time we have ever left our dog, we chose the pick up and drop off service, connah was punctual and friendly, dude took to him quickly and happily left thinking he was going for a walk! Whilst we were away Connah kept us updated on how dude was and sent us some fab pictures & videos, which put our minds at rest to see dude enjoying himself. Connah was even kind enough to give dude the opportunity to steal his cheeseburger one evening lol (Connah was warned haha) would definitely use again, thank you so much for taking such good care of him!''

''Connah agreed to help us at late notice when we needed someone to care for our 9 year old golden girl, Lola due to work. I was quite nervous as Lola is in the midst of stem cell treatment for bi-lateral elbow displasia and although she is the sweetest girl who loves meeting people, dogs, her walks and sniffs has needed to take things easier recently and whilst her treatment is ongoing - I needn't have worried, Connah was great, from the first communication and most importantly so natural with Lola who can sometimes suffer with separation anxiety but hopped into his bike trailer without hesitation. Connah kept us up to date with how she was all day and made her comfort a priority, giving her space when she needed and keeping her mind busy with some training games - so important when she is less mobile. Lola came back happy and bouncy and we would recommend Connah to anyone needing top quality dog care in the Taunton area.''

''I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Connah. He did an absolute brilliant job at looking after our 11 month old puppy, whilst we were away for a few days. We had never left our puppy alone with anyone before, but with Connah, we felt like we were leaving our fur baby in the most experienced hands. He called over prior to our trip to go over the finer details and get to meet our Bernese mountain dog puppy and home. Connah did all kinds of training from recall, lead pulling and basic commands aswell as the basics of walking him and looking after our dog. He gave our puppy undivided attention and gave him much love and affection. We were kept up to date with our puppy’s day to day activities with Connah, through photos and videos. This was extremely reassuring. Our house was kept tidy and our puppy was very content and happy with Connah. We would have no concerns in working with Connah again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog carer. He is perfect.''

''Connah was amazing looking after my dog Freddie today, as soon as I dropped him off he took him for a walk and later on in the day he took him swimming which Freddie loved! He has taught him how to heel as Freddie pulls on the lead and Connah is so patient with him. I had regular videos updating me of his progress and what he was up to during the day. Will definitely be using again!''

''Betsy has just spent the weekend with Connah. My first time using Rover and her first staying with someone she doesn't know, so I was nervous initially. It all went very well with good communication and photos while we were away and Betsy clearly enjoyed herself. I wouldn't hesitate in letting Betsy stay again. Thank you Connah.''
