At the beginning of July we finally said our goodbyes to Little Miss Elfie and Party Steve. 🐩🎉🐕

This unlikely duo were meant to start their journeys to their forever homes in the UK back in April, but because of Covid they were stranded in Thailand with no way home in sight. 😩

Elfie's was raised here as part of our pack, after her pervious adoption fell through. Having never known a forever family, she didn't know what she was missing and was happy here, but we knew the life that awaited her and wished her there quickly. 🙏🏾

Steve, on the other hand, had experienced a taste of the good life with his new family, when they bonded with him holidaying on the island. His hopeful new owners ached to be together again, so waited patiently and expectantly for his arrival and we could see Steve missed them just as much. 🥺

With the UK almost completely off limits, Europe restricted and closing further down with each passing day, when the opportunity arose to send Steve to Germany, his owners didn't skip a beat to stop their lives in order to welcome their baby boy home. They took leave from work, jumped in a van at 3:30am and set off across Europe, to collect their new family member. Like the awesome heroes they are, they even offered to collect and drive Elfie back to the UK with them, so she could finally be united with her new family too. 🏆

So it was game on and all systems go!!
🐕🐩🛺🛳️🚌🚗🛫🇹🇭🇩🇪🛬🚚🇬🇧🐕🏠🚗🚢🇮🇲🐩🏡

Thanks to the covid restrictions, so many people needed to be involved in the moving of these pups and it was a long journey for them, but the love, care and compassion that they received by everyone who helped in their journey, made it so much easier.
..And what better reward then the open arms of their new families and a lifetime of belly rubs and love.
These two finally get to feel what a forever family truly means and I think it's safe to say, they'd have wished it absolutely. no. other. way. 🥰

Back in June FFH said goodbye to Babu, our Queen Bee. 🐝👑

Babu came to us in March, whilst she waited for her beloved owner to return to Koh Phangan and collect her, for their trip to the UK. Unfortunately Covid put a pin in their plans and Babu had to extend her stay, when her soulmate got trapped overseas, unable to return to Thailand. 💔

Although she adapted as best she could, Babu wasn't used to being part of a pack and found it hard to feel fully at home here. 😢 She missed her person desperately and luckily for her, her person missed her even more and fought tooth and nail to get her home.
Despite every hiccup, hurdle and road block you can imagine along the way, Babu's determed owner found her a path home, when travel restrictions were at their most challenging. 😅
Thanks to the hard work of a separated heart, Babu and her owner were reunited in a swirl of joy and tears, and have been inseparable every since. 💞

We miss her, but Babu is now truly where she belongs.
Back with her best friend and Queen to her new British thrown. 👸🏾

⭐ Happy New Year ⭐
May 2021 bring us all happiness, peace and love.

We've been very quiet on here recently, but not because we've been lazy. We've been busy getting trained by a very time consuming little pup. 👶🏼

Over the past five months we've said hello and goodbye to a few Furry Friends along the way, which I'd love to share with you all. So watch this space for stories, old and new, as we get into the swing of our new normal. 😉

Our new pack leader will be overseeing all future playtimes, as we open back up and welcome your furr babies into our family, once again.

We look forward to the adventures this year will bring. 🐶💕🐱

We couldn't contain our excitement...or our tears... Sending our Scotch off on his journey to his forever home, late last week. 😁😢🥰

He is the first dog we've manage to send home since the world closed it's doors and despite all the challenges we faced getting him onto a plane, our amazing team managed to overcome each and every block, backed by his driven adopters and kind hearts all along the way. You know who you are... We'd be USELESS without you!!! 😘

It's wasn't easy but we did it and the feeling of seeing him where he belongs makes every step worth it!

We'll miss our Scotchy Mc Scotch Botchy Crotch, but we couldn't be more pleased to see him exactly where he belongs...
Home ❤️

Our Lenny Bear at his best 🐻

Lenny was partially paralysed after a bad case of tick fever about 5 years ago.
He was adopted by a wonderful family who give him only the best of the best but having a house set on a hill, Lenny wasn't able to get around much independently.
We've been trailing having him live here at Furry Friend's Hotel and with nice flat land to roam, Lenny has been taking fully advantage and exploring the land in cool moments of the day.
It's been 9 months now and Lenny has loved living with us here almost as much as we love having him. 😁

The face I get when I eat anything and don't share... 😂
❤️ My Fatty Boy, Don Diego ❤️

Puppies choose their favourites whether the older dog is willing or not 🐶🐶

Being part of a pack is a powerful experience for a dog and can bring out sides of their personalities that owners never knew existed.

Sometimes it's a surprising caring nature that shines. 💛

Cutepie Scotchy Scotch Scotch 😍

Hope you have all the squeaky toys you can chase little Foo.

When you need a hug any species will do. ❤️

28/04/2020

I think it's fair to say that we enjoy our food here 😂🐽

27/04/2020

Guess who's home?! 😁

26/04/2020

Did someone say "Sausage"?! 🤤

25/04/2020

How many pups can you spot 🔍👀

24/04/2020

Times are not so easy at the moment and staying home can be hard for us all, so we still try to take a moment to enjoy a sunset at the beach every now and again. 🌅

23/04/2020

Off to shower in style 😎

Sally, our resident "smelly dog", is showered at least twice a week with special medicated shampoo to try and control an extremely bad fungal skin infection she's battled with for many many years.
We're slowly seeing her hair grow back, her itchiness subside and her smelliness calm and Sally actually really enjoys her showers. 30 minutes of pampering and sausages as a reward, what's not to love?! 🧖🏽‍♀️🌭

22/04/2020

When you've just had a big bath and you're so gorgeous and clean there is only one thing for it... Extra cuddle time on the sofa! 😍

21/04/2020

Walkies!
🐕🐕🚶🏽‍♂️🐕🐕🚶🏾‍♀️

Walking 11 adult dogs isn't easy, especially in a area full of dog packs and chickens 😅 but we try to get out pooches out and about as much as possible. 😉

20/04/2020

A bit late but better late then never...
Welcome Don Diego! 😎

We've known Don Diego since we moved to the island over 4 years ago. He was our first neighbour here and we missed him so much when we moved house recently.
We were extremely happy when we were asked to have him as part of our family for 3 months before he makes the big move to Europe. ✈️

Welcome home fatty boy. ❤️
