Aw look at this beaut. Well funny Freddie is a bit of a comedian. He loves other dogs but can be a bit nervous when he first meets people - who isn't ;-)! After a few visits of meeting him you will be friends forever. Freddie is around three years old.

Could you make room for this boy?

So, Hector has only gone and chosen his forever home! Yey! Well done sweetie boy.

You may remember his story ...

Hector was one of five pups that came in with their mum. They had been very neglected. They'd had no socialisation so we knew it was going to be a long journey for them. We did find Hector a home when he was younger but sadly he didn’t cope and when he came back to us he was a different dog. In fact we thought he might be a permanent resident.
Hector’s new family were told about his problems and they have visited him at the kennels nearly every day for a couple of months. We needed Hector to feel really safe with them before he could move in with them.
This took a lot of commitment from his new family, but it has finally paid off.

Be happy Hector, you so deserve it.

Today is international dog biscuit appreciation day!
Who knew there was a day dedicated to celebrating the doggie biscuit!

Did you know? The original dog biscuit was created by James Spratt in the 19th century as 'Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes” and became a hit with the posh English who loved to pamper their woofers.

Any excuse to give my puppers extra biscuits!! What treats do you like to give your doggies? Do you make your own?

This is Bear with his cute little eyebrows and he's a big softie when you get to know him.
He gets a bit worried around other dogs and can be a little reactive towards them so he will need to be the only dog in the house.

Could you spend the time with this fluff bear and provide him with a safe home?

Do you know dog law?

Do you know that the law does not require dogs to be kept on lead? Or that a dog does not need to be aggressive to be out of control?
It does however require you to keep your dogs under control - off lead AND on lead.
A responsible dog walker will know their surroundings, communicate with their dog and respect other dogs and their walkers.

Guidelines
Supervise your dog at all times
Don't allow your dog to approach another dog that is on lead unless you have permission
Only walk your dog off lead if it has recall
Do not allow your dog to worry livestock, including chasing them
Interact with your dog, make your walks fun.
Pick up your dog's p**p!

Today is National acts of kindness day. Why not brighten the day by smiling at someone, buying the coffee or better still donating the price of that coffee to help a dog in your favourite rescue💕.

Being kind reduces stress, improves emotional wellbeing and your donation will really help towards the care of a dog in rescue.

Mr Casper was out doing his thing to promote how wonderful GSD's are. The Pop Inn cafe owner spotted him and invited him in again. He did so well especially with how many people were there. Casper is very grateful for his sausage - thanks so much.

Casper, aka snuggle bum takes his role as ambassador for the breed very seriously. We had a lovely stroll round the village and met quite a few dogs and their owners., Casper and the gorgeous Labrador were desperate to play together and were such good boys.
We headed over to the Pop Inn café and Angela the owner came out to see Casper. He was so happy to see her again and got some lovely bacon. As Casper was such a calm polite boy he got invited INSIDE the café where he spent time saying hello to everyone. He even got a sausage! A big thank you to the Pop Inn Café for having us.

Luscious Lilley is still looking for her foster home. She loves the car and having a little potter about for 15 minutes.

Reposting as original post disappeared.

Foster/retirement home wanted
Our little Lilley doesn’t ask for much in life. She is around 8/9 years old. She has been in kennels a while now, while we worked with her to improve her confidence and reduce her nervousness.
She has come on so well, loves getting in the car and going for a little potter. She doesn’t need a long walk, just somewhere where she has space to sniff and investigate.

She has ignored other dogs on walks, although will try to shy away from people. Recently she has tried to follow them once they pass and sniff them!

She loves her bum scratches and will let you groom her for a bit too as long as you go slowly with her. She now greets us with a wag in her tail which is huge progress from when she first came into rescue.

She is around 8/9 years old and needs to build some more muscle on her hind legs so short walks would be ideal to slowly build them up. She travels so well in the car and is the perfect passenger.
We are seeking a foster home for luscious Lilley where she can continue to blossom. Lilley needs an animal free home because we feel she would be too stressed to share it with others.

Lilley can be nervous of new people so a quiet home with no young children would be ideal.

If you think you can help please get in touch either via the website or email [email protected]. If you can't help, please share her post 🙂
