UPDATE: WINTER is in foster with Olivia & Eoin. Thank you both so much ❤️

😭😭THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT 😭 😭💔
💔💔Winter is no longer wanted by her family….
Sadly she knows this, you can feel the anxiety & stress flowing from her. 💔💔

Winter needs a loving foster or forever home. She’s a sweet & gentle little soul who loves walks & adventures. At present she’s spending her days out in the garden craving human attention & is stressed to breaking point.

If you’ve ever witnessed a dog suffering from high levels of anxiety, a dog who wants nothing more than to be loved you’ll know how utterly heartbreaking it is. We are now genuinely concerned for little Winter, she needs urgent help.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone offer her a safe space with plenty of human attention. As she’s so upset atm we feel a home without any existing pets would suit her best & if there are children in the home it would be best if they were over 10 yrs of age.

PLEASE SHARE it could mean finding Winter a home where she’s loved & cherished. If you can offer her a foster or forever home please complete the relevant form below. Thank you 🙏

**PUBLIC WARNING**

Please do not let your dog's poo on farmer's fields, especially when you see them like this! This is winter food for the animals!!!!

All our fields without livestock will soon be cut for silage so we please ask you all to be super vigilant and pick up your dogs poo 🙏

Thank You in advance

Please find the strenght to be there for your pet 💔

“Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.

The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them.

Dont let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they dont like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They dont understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake. Be with them until the end.”
