Please please please sign the petition to delay the ban on rehoming an XL Bully for another 18 months and give these babies a chance at finding their forever homes. So many dogs will be facing euthanasia or a life in kennels and it's absolutely heartbreaking.

XL Bully dogs cannot be rehomed after 31/12/23, and will be illegal to own without an exemption certificate from 1/2/24. As a result many Bully dogs are being abandoned or placed in rescue. We want more time for owners to rehome or get exemptions, to avoid dogs being euthanised unnecessarily.

Hi guys!
I just wanted to say that although I’m unable to continue with dog walking at the moment I am still available for in-home dog sitting.
If this is something you would be interested in please drop me a message and we can have a chat ☺️
Thanks xx

This is Boy 🐶
I first met Boy back in April 2021 when he was brought into Northumberland Dog Rescue as a stray. I had the pleasure of getting to know Boy for a year and a half before his new family adopted him and gave him his forever home. It’s not often we get to see the dogs again after they’ve been adopted but I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last couple of days looking after Boy whilst his humans have been away. Boy always had a special place in my heart and it’s amazing to see him living his best life with a family that adore him. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing him again and having all the cuddles 🥰

Sharky & Teddy 🥹
Our first walk today, Teddy didn’t quite get that he’s supposed to actually walk on a walk, but we got there in the end 😅

Brandy & Bonnie’s first beach trip, I think it’s safe to say they enjoyed themselves 😅

Arlo & Lola
Arlo has SOOO much energy, we played lots of fetch and had a good run around. Lola on the other hand was quite happy just plodding about having a sniff.
Also, belly rubs 😍

Wilson & Peggy, how gorgeous are these two!
Today we walked through the woods and made friends with a little Spaniel pup.

Brandy, Bonnie & Brutus.
Can you guess who’s who? 😅

Have you ever seen eyes so blue!?
This is Chilli, Taco & Dumpling’s brother.
Chilli can manage much longer walks than his brother and sister so he gets a separate walk to make sure he gets the amount of exercise he needs.

This is Mandy AKA Shmoo, Shmoopsy, Smoopsy Poopsy or Moo Moo 🐾
Mandy is a Jack Russel X Lakeland Terrier and my fur baby. She loves a good hike through the hills and can go for miles, literally. This photo was taken during a 14 mile walk and she still had stupid amounts of energy left at the end.

Look at that face! 🥹
Ronnie is an XL Bully and a GIANT softie, not to mention he gives the best kisses. 10/10 would recommend.

Meet Taco 🌮
This handsome chap is an Olde English Bulldog, he can’t manage long walks due to his breed but still enjoys getting those little legs moving!
I’ve customised his walks with his owner to suit his specific needs.
DM to discuss custom walks & rates.

Hi, I’m Anna! Just a girl who often prefers dogs to most humans (but who doesn't!) and had her dream of working with dogs come true nearly two years ago!

In April 2021, I began working full time at a dog rescue and five star boarding kennel in Northumberland. In tandem with being a dog owner for almost 6 years, I’ve learnt so many important lessons across different breeds, big and small - from patience and kindness with challenging dogs to finding juuuuuust the right calming belly spot to rub for the excitable ones. I also qualified in dog first aid & CPR.

Now, I've decided to start my own dog walking business - The Crate Escape - offering local dog walks and adventure days out for your dearly loved pooches.

From assisting with socialisation to firing up those little (and big!) legs, I'll be listing my services and would love for you to encourage any dog owners my way.

I'm excited to begin this new venture in and around Blyth.

Thanks so much, Anna xx
