Ten year old Victoria has had her world turned upside down by way of eviction 🥲 Please share her story far and wide ❤️

For the last five years she's been in a loving home, with another dog, a number of cats and an owner who loved her. Sadly, she now has none of the above.

Victoria is a Dogo Argentino, she's at a sensible sort of age where she has no interest in eating your furniture, climbing the walls or making ribbons of the curtains. She just wants to be someone's friend 💔

She enjoys her walks and goes very well on the lead for a dog of her size and stature. She's just happy to potter along with you!

She is fine with other dogs when properly introduced, and has lived with another. But she has been known to react to the occasional small dog, so we'd place her with anything medium sized upwards. She needs an adult only home.

If you can offer Victoria her golden ticket to a new home, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer her and including your phone number to arrange an appointment.

If you can't offer a home, please consider sharing her story far and wide! It's the least she deserves 😇

Poppy and Daisy the Chihuahuas were surrendered to us before Christmas but were lucky enough to set off to their new homes earlier in the year!

While we are late announcing it - they're much too cute not to share! 🤩

🌼 Daisy 🌼

Daisy is a 2 year old springer spaniel who was recently surrendered to us due to no fault of her own.

Daisy is everything we adore about spaniels - she's busy, she's clever, she loves playing, loves people and loves puddles. If she were a human she'd bustle round in a blazer with a briefcase in one hand and a Red Bull in the other.

As with any springer, she is high energy and would love a home that can offer her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation - she'd join you on any of your adventures and will follow you to the end of the earth!

She is good with other dogs and could live with another pending successful meet and greet. She's good with sensible children also. She can't live with cats as she chases. Daisy has previously been kept outdoors, so while she's well on her way to being housetrained - she will need some patience and understanding initially.

If you can offer Daisy a loving home, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer her and including your phone number to arrange an appointment 💜

🩷🤍 Victoria 🤍🩷

This regal lady is a 10 year old Dogo Argentino. She was adopted from us originally in 2020 but sadly was returned due to her owner facing eviction.

Victoria is at a fabulous stage in life, more than capable for long walks but equally well she's a mature and mellow character around the house.

She enjoys her walks and is my good on the lead for a dog of her size and stature. She's good with other dogs when properly introduced, but has been known to have the odd reaction to passing smaller dogs.

Since arriving, she has caught up on her vet work - had a full MOT, had a large cyst removed from her back and teeth done - so she's a new woman and more than ready for a new home!

She is fully housetrained and no stranger to creature comforts, she can live with another medium or large dog pending a successful meet and greet. She needs an adult only home.

If you can offer Victoria the loving home she so deserves, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer her and including your phone number to arrange an appointment! 🤍

Angel (now Goldie) arrived to us a fortnight ago and was lucky enough to immediately find a fantastic home with repeat adopters from Ash!

We're told she's settling really well and has a new best friend in Denzel the Dachshund! ❤️

We're over the moon to announce that our fan-favourite Pippin has set off and found his new forever home! ❤️

Even more excitingly, he's been reunited with Bowie - the collie he lived with for many years before their owner sadly passed away and they were separated in November! We're thrilled to see them back together 🫶🏻

Operation Trans-fur-mation! Pippin the collie who arrived to us in November weighing a whopping 36kg has managed to lose 6kg at his latest weigh in 😍 But he still needs a forever family!

He's 10 years old and was surrendered to us following the passing of his owner. He's such a fantastic dog and we really can't say enough positive things about him - it's comes as no surprise that he's a fan favourite here in Ash!

He walks beautifully on the lead, loves playing fetch in the field, gets on well with other dogs and loves people, is fantastically well behaved for grooming and is just an all round 'top lad'!

He needs a cat-free home, and can live with teenagers upwards. It's worth noting that we have found him very placid with everyone he's met of all ages here, but we were told that he doesn't like children - this isn't something we've seen any sign of but in the interest of responsibility, we won't home him with young children.

If you can offer Pippin the committed and loving retirement home that he so deserves, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer him with as much relevant detail as possible and including your phone number!

New arrival Tori enjoying her walk today ❤️ Not quite the weather for it, but she certainly didn't let spilling rain and knee-high muck spoil her fun 😁

With extreme weather on the horizon we'd like to remind people of the usual precautions! ⛈️

🐾 Keep pets indoors

🐾 Make sure to check fencing for damage before letting dogs out!

🐎 Ensure outdoor living animals have sufficient shelter and rugged horses/ponies have all straps done up and fully secured!

🌀 Stay safe!

George is a young adult jrt who's still looking for a home! He's fantastic with people, loves playing fetch, loves his walks and cuddles.

He doesn't get on with other animals so needs to be the only pet but can live with children 10 and up!

George is a hidden gem who doesn't deserve to be overlooked time and time again. If you can be George's golden ticket to freedom and a forever home, please send us an email to [email protected] 🐾

Many of you will have seen posts circulating Facebook over the last number of days regarding the urgent rehoming of two large dogs, one of whom ('Victoria' in our care) came from Ash originally. With so many mixed messages reaching such a huge audience, it's only right that we clarify a few details and share our side of the story.

Victoria arrived to us in late 2019 and was rehomed 9 months later, summer 2020. A number of months ago we were contacted to take Victoria back alongside another dog (not from Ash) as her owner's circumstances had sadly changed. As we would with any dog that is rehomed by us, we agreed to take her back with no questions asked. We stand by any dog we re-home and will always take them back regardless of the reason or time frame. However, we were not (and are not) in a position to take the second dog. Because of this, her owner chose not to return her at that stage.

Last week we received another request to take her back. Over the course of yesterday and today we have been notified of a myriad of posts on Facebook threatening euthanasia of the dog for lack of an alternative (thank you to those who notified us). Once again we have offered to take Victoria and give her a soft place to land, as we would with any dog who's ever been rehomed from Ash.

We have since been informed that both dogs are safe and have been surrendered to rescue, and the vet appointment has been cancelled.

Hopefully this answers any queries or worries, as always the safety of the animal and transparency is our priority.

Another lovely 'happy ever after' story, setting off the new year on the right foot!

Teddy (Tigger when he was with us) recently celebrated his 18th birthday and had another seaside holiday! We're told he loves the beach 😍

Tigger was very unlucky to find himself in rescue as a 16 year old, and then returned again at 17 - so to see him in a home now where he's adored unconditionally means the world to us!

Happy New Year from Ash Animal Rescue! 🥂

Especially from 10 year old Pippin, who's having a whale of a time here while he waits for his forever family 🐷 See his previous posts for further information - he won't disappoint!
