One year ago today Vee & Gerry welcomed Shaggy, Meghan & Will into their home. They had no expectations of them, didn't force any interactions & they even set up a separate secure area for them for the first few months before they felt comfortable going into the house & mixing with their dogs. This allowed them the space they needed to realise they were in a safe place with their boundaries being respected at all times. It's amazing to see how bonded the Shaggies are & we know how difficult it is to get one fearful dog adopted never mind taking on three together so we are absolutely over the moon for these three beautiful dogs!๐ฅฐ๐พ๐
The Shaggies are growing in trust all the time thanks to Vee & Gerry who have been amazing since the start. Huge thanks also to our fantastic kennel crew for never giving up on them in those tough few months at kennels & for getting them comfortable walking on lead & to gain some trust in people before they went to Gerry & Vee.๐
The Shaggies are now living a life of luxury-they're often found enjoying time in their fabulous secure garden or cuddled up together on the couch. They've even made 2 new little besties-Coco & Brone!๐ฅฐ๐พ
We couldn't have hoped for a better outcome for Shaggy, Meghan & Will and we know they are living their absolute best life now! We're sure they're having a great day celebrating their special day!!! ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐พ๐พ
Vee & Gerry we cannot thank you both enough for all you have done for our 3 hairy houndies! You've given them what they desperately needed-a place to feel safe, secure & loved.๐ฅฐ๐พ๐งก
Wishing Vee, Gerry, the 3 Shaggies, Coco & Brone a very happy "Gotcha Day"!๐ฅฐ๐พ๐

River, our dog of the week, is currently in foster with Helen. Here's what she has to say about himโฌ๏ธ:
"Riverโs the most gentle boy! Timid of many dogs but once they're easy going heโs easy going. He loves people, heโs a bit wobbly on his back legs but improving everyday with good food. Heโs been really good with my cats but they're very confident, heโs a gem on the lead, heโs a bit hard of hearing and sight isnโt fantastic but other than that heโs the perfect dog!"
We're so thankful to Helen for taking such great care of River & for giving him a great Christmas!๐ฅฐ๐๐พ
Senior dogs really do make the most amazing companions-they're so grateful to have home comforts & are so deserving of somewhere warm & comfy to snooze the day away. ๐ฅฐ๐พ
