Saturday’s rescue run ♥️ I promise it’s worth the wait to watch the happiest puppies EVER at the end. Our newest rescues are absolutely joyous and I can’t wait to properly introduce them to you all. Introducing Trevor & Clyde, two six month old Collie x Pug puppies, and Teddy, a nine month old Sh*tzu x French Bulldog puppy who will all be looking for their forever homes soon 🏡 Oh and not forgetting my beautiful Lola who I am finding very difficult to part with, she has totally captured my heart and made herself at home here, I keep telling myself I don’t need another dog but I love her so much 🥹

Back with another edition of ‘Rescue Day Out!’ A video of two halves (yes we’ve had a very busy, adventurous weekend) 😅 -
• 6 mile adventure with Suki at the Four Waterfalls trail in Brecon. Meanwhile my Mam borrowed Bailey for an 8.5 mile hike in Ponsticill 🌊
• 5 mile adventure with both Suki & Bailey at Dare Valley Country Park, which initially didn’t quite go to plan (two VERY excitable puppies) in a VERY busy environment, but after some minor teething issues, they both absolutely smashed it and I couldn’t have been prouder of them 🍃
Break from kennel life ✅
Plenty of stimulus and ‘real world’ experiences ✅
Getting these wonderful dogs noticed ✅
Having lots of fun in the process ✅
Reminiscing on the most special summer to date, with some pretty special little souls - Beau & Buddy ♥️ Many happy tears have been shed watching this back, knowing how difficult a period of my life this was, and knowing just how much these wonderful dogs helped me through by ensuring I was never short of love or comfort and by always putting the biggest smile on my face. Creating a loving, safe and most importantly fun environment for all of the rescues in our care will always be my utmost priority. Even on the toughest, most physically/mentally demanding of days, life at our little rescue is pure bliss and I’m so proud to call it my own 🥰 #rescuedog #adoption #animalrescue #adoptdontshop *I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC*
Saturday’s busy rescue run 😅 We welcomed four new faces who I cannot wait to introduce to you all (very soon I promise). Not only have they had the upheaval to contend with, but bonfire night too! Yet their resilience and ability to adapt to new situations continues to astound me, what wonderful dogs they are ♥️ Just a quick, brief introduction -
* Groot & Rocket, bonded Minature Dachshund males, aged one and two
* Bonnie, a one year old Beagle x Harrier female
* Mitsy (was Tipsy), a three year old Bichon x Sh*tzu female
All of which have lived with children and other dogs. They have beautiful temperaments. Their individual profiles containing more information will be live soon! #rescue #adoption #rescuedog #adoptdontshop
Yes, this is the reality of rescue - it’s bloody hard (I cry at least once a day 😂) Last week was an emotional one to say the least. Slinky’s adoption hit me harder than most, with so much pressure amounting on myself to get it absolutely right for her to minimise any further upheaval in her short life. They say to always trust your gut instinct, of that I did, and I am delighted to announce that she has now been adopted and has since settled wonderfully in her forever home. Being their voice is life’s greatest privilege, and something I will never take for granted having longed for the opportunity since I was a little girl. What an honour to be a part of their journey ✨ #adoption #rescuedog #animalrescue #adoptdontshop
URGENT PLEA 🚨
Yesterday we had our biggest intake of dogs yet here at Garland’s (six in total). All of which are in poor condition and in desperate need of some TLC. They are severely matted and covered in pee stains. All six are feeling much better already after a pamper day today, and are now bathed, flead and wormed. However I am DESPERATE to find a groomer/s who would be able to dedicate their time to give these precious souls the fresh start they deserve by making them feel much more comfortable. They’ve never been groomed before so would require someone who is patient and understanding. If you are a groomer and are able to make a difference to even one of these poor babies, please reach out. I would appreciate it more than you’d ever know. I will keep you all updated on their journey here with us, their new lives begin now 🥰
On that note, we are running low on dry adult food, and with nine dogs currently in our care, our supply is dwindling. Please if anyone would be kind enough to donate food to the dogs in our care, it would be massively appreciated. Please support us so that we can continue to help those who need us most. Our rescue is 100% self funded, so we couldn’t do it without you all. Thank you so much, Ashtyn
Apologies for the radio silence yet again - I’ve had lots on in my personal life, but I’m back! This time with three beautiful little souls to introduce to you all 🥰
• Blair, a 2-3 month old German Shepard puppy female 🏡 ADOPTED 🏡
• Jessie (two), a five month old Lurcher x Collie puppy female 🏡 ADOPTED 🏡
• Jessie (one), a one year old crossbreed female 🏡 ADOPTED 🏡
Please share so that we can find these special girls a forever home 🏡 #adoption #rescue #adoptdontsh

Feels SO good to be back! We’ve had a very busy weekend welcoming three new faces, all of which will be introduced properly within the next few days. Roxy is an eight year old Patterdale. Jessie is a one year old Springer Spaniel x Jack Russel. Kali is a three year old King Charles Spaniel x Border Collie. I think the video speaks for itself - they are truly amazing 🫶🏼 All will be available for adoption soon!
My store room show around 🤩 Can you believe that this is how stocked up it’s looking based solely on donations, at no expense to the rescue so far?! From the bottom of my heart, I cannot thank you all enough for your generosity. Faith in humankind well and truly restored. You are all amazing ♥️
Life at our rescue - the first four weeks 🥰 Featuring Sammy, Polly, Patch, Frida, Max, Ruby, Luna, Alfie & Luca. Just a girl living her dream, and loving every single second of it. I cannot believe that this is my life 🥹 #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop
Rescue day out 🌊
Totally forgot to post this from last week. Rescue day out at the beach, a first for Beau who as you can tell, absolutely loved it! She is the best behaved 11 month old puppy EVER 🥹 #rescue #rescuedog
