The beautiful Doris came to visit recently ❤️
I met Doris when she came into rescue as a puppy. We spent many days together over 6 months and we got to know her as the most gentle, caring, and goofy girl. We were all devastated when the XL Bully ban came in, and we had a very tight deadline to rehome her, otherwise she legally wouldn’t be allowed to live.
The week before our deadline, a wonderful couple came to meet her and fell in love. As soon as we saw them together we knew she had found her forever home ❤️
It was the most amazing and emotional experience to see her leave the centre and she didn’t look back! Here she is visiting the field and blowing bubbles in the water 😂
We are so thankful to her owners for giving her the best life with her sister Lily ❤️

We’ve been mowing!
Unfortunately our mower broke a while ago, so we were itching for it to come back so we could get to work on tidying up the pathways! We’ve also added a few new shrubs and will hopefully add some more soon 🌱
Thank you to all of our lovely regulars and new customers. As always, we hope you enjoy your time in the field 🥰

It’s that time again! ☀️
Being aware of the impact of hot weather on dogs is so important. Every year I see dogs locked in cars, tied in the sun, or walking during the hottest part of the day.
Dog’s paws have the important function of temperature regulation (alongside the tongue), and knowing how small their cooling systems are when compared with their body size, it’s no wonder that they can easily get heat stroke and other hot weather related injuries. For example, if a dog gets burnt paws, it can’t regulate its temperature in the same way, and this increases the risk of heat stroke.
Heat stroke is when the temperature gets so high their body is no longer able to regulate it and this results in damage to the body. This can lead to brain damage, lung distress, and multi-system organ failure. Tragically some of these may happen even if you get to your vet in time and they bring down the body temperature. The best thing you can do for your pup is be aware of the danger and be proactive in helping them to stay cool.
To prevent heat stroke, limit periods of activity when it’s hot, ensuring they have access to shade, plenty of water (for drinking/lounging in), and acknowledge that some dogs and breeds are more susceptible to heat stroke than others. Brachycephalics (squishy-faced breeds) are more susceptible to heat-related injuries because their airways prevent effective airflow, especially if they are excited or stressed. Also, consider your dog’s coat; dogs with darker thicker coats will heat up faster and take longer to cool down. Knowing that, consider limiting these dogs’ activity periods more than your average dog. Additionally, instead of just a shaded area, consider providing a cooling mat, frozen chews/kongs and paddling pools to cool down in!

We just wanted to share the reasons why secure dog parks only allow one car/household/group in the car park at a time.
We have many anxious and reactive dogs using the park. This means they may be terrified of strangers or other dogs, or have difficulties in managing their feelings around them. This could have a huge impact on their well being as well as their owners and could cause a delay in your entry to the park.
Why?
- The dog may be too scared to be caught if they notice strangers nearby.
- It may be too scared to enter the car park to get back into the car, delaying your entry to the park.
- They may be fearful of other dogs or dislike other dogs - a negative and unexpected interaction could be detrimental to all involved.
- Owners and their dogs may have had a traumatic experience (eg. An attack) and use this space for their own peace of mind.
I hope everyone understands our reasoning for this. We want everyone to feel safe and relaxed using the field as we know how difficult it can be supporting an anxious dog. One of ours has been absolutely terrified in a similar situation (very scared of men) so we really do get it!
You are very welcome to use the lock on the outer gate if you want extra security. We will also be adding a camera very soon.
Thank you so much to everyone who’s visited so far. We’re so lucky to have such a lovely, respectful and caring doggy community 🥰🐾

World Pet Memorial Day 🌈✨
We really wanted to post something in memory of those special dogs (and other animals) who are no longer with us but have had a huge impact on our lives. I know I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today without my childhood best friends ❤️
The pups on the following pictures are Tess and Kim. Tess (the scruff) was my first dog and Kim was my Gran’s dog. When my dad died we moved in and the three of us formed the closest little pack.
Tess was rescued as a puppy and we were told she was a lab/collie cross… as you can see she looks nothing like that with all of her whiskers! Kim escaped from a lorry when his owner beat him, and wasn’t expected to live longer than 2 years due to the trauma he experienced. They both made it to 16!
My family were farmers and I was an only child with mutism and suspected Autism, so we did absolutely everything together. They were my best friends and assistance dogs all in one, before I even knew what that was.
We went on so many adventures together, some that nobody even knew about. I often needed quiet time to get away from the stress, loneliness, and overstimulation of home. Whilst this sounds bonkers to some, they were the ones who made me feel loved and took away my loneliness. They never put me down for being me, for being quiet, or for not being good enough. They never shouted at me after drinking too much, and they never threatened to hurt me like they were hurt. They made me trust in the world when I had none, and they gave me confidence to explore and be independent. They taught me I was good enough and that I could be loved.
I will never forget everything they did for me over the years and how they guided me to where I am (and who I am) now.
So…In remembrance of them, we have added loads of new balls to the toy trunk for your dogs to enjoy ☺️🎾
I’d love to hear about your previous pets and what you got up to. Feel free to add your own posts and tag us, it feels really special to remember them and what they’ve done for us ❤️

Today I thought I’d introduce our furry family and inspirations 🥰
I realised how many nicknames they have in the process… Some are absolutely ridiculous but hey ho 😂
I’d love to hear what yours are!
Hope you’re all having a lovely day whatever you’re up to ❤️

Dogs are born with the innate ability to self medicate. If you see your dog sniffing or rubbing against certain plants, they may be using the plant to help rebalance their bodily systems. Dogs will often be seen eating grass to support digestion (or just because!), and they sometimes like to roll around in plants like lavender to promote calm - just like humans use lavender oil to relax.
We have various dog friendly plants dotted around the park to sniff and explore, and we’ll add posts about their benefits soon. But first, it’s mint! 🌱
Thank you to Sam for the photo of little Teddy exploring 🥰

This is the beautiful Lenny.
Lenny is our first XL bully customer and he’s a really special boy. Lenny had a hard start to life and was born in rescue kennels after his parents had to be rescued from a bad situation.
Lenny doesn’t get to be outdoors without a muzzle any more due to the law, and he found this transition really difficult, so it’s absolutely lovely to see him having fun, free from restraint ❤️

This has absolutely made our day 🥰
The lovely Blue had his first ever swim in our new pond!
Blue is 5yrs old and he had a difficult start, being born into a house full of 36 dogs.
He is a scared, nervous, and reactive boy to everything and everyone, especially men. But Blue still has so much fun. He absolutely loves to run free and loves water, but this is the first time he’s had the confidence to swim ❤️
We’re so proud of you Blue and your family. We know how difficult it can be to support your pup with anxiety and hearing this is really special. We always hoped we could do something to help more dogs like you ❤️
