🌟 Welcome Beth – Our New BeKind Trustee! 🌟

We are absolutely over the moon to officially welcome Beth as a trustee and valued member of the BeKind team!

Beth adopted Ellie back in December 2020, and from that moment she became part of the BeKind family. Since then, her passion, kindness, and commitment to animal welfare have shone through in everything she does.

Beth joins us with a huge wealth of knowledge – and a genuine hunger to keep learning. Her deep dive into all things pain-related behaviour, dog nutrition, and overall canine wellbeing makes her an incredible addition to our little rescue family.

Here’s a bit about Beth, in her own words:

“I hate talking about myself 😅
• My degree is in Equine Studies
• I started working with horses at 14 and spent years on racing and eventing yards before going freelance at 18
• I kept horses fit, schooled, competition groomed and competed for fun myself
• After various injuries I needed a safer path, so we started Peckamix in 2016
• In 2020 I stepped back from riding part-time
• We fostered then adopted Ellie in December 2020 – that turned our lives onto the most unexpected and amazing journey into the dog world
• In 2022 I officially retired from horses and we went full time into Peckamix, later opening Wally’s Pet Supplies
• I’ve deep dived into training & behaviour over the last 5 years and I’m now a qualified Dynamic Dog Practitioner
• I’m working towards my Ipet Level 3 Diploma in Canine Nutrition, and in March I’ll be enrolling onto the APNC mentorship to become an APNC Registered Canine Nutrition Consultant
• I’ve completed the Feed Real Professional Canine Nutrition Certificate and spent uncountable hours researching all things dog nutrition
• Horses were my first passion, but dogs have truly become the heart of my world
• I particularly love the nutrition and pain-related side of the dog world.”

We are so grateful to have someone as dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable as Beth joining us in shaping the future of BeKind.

Please join us in giving her a huge, warm welcome! 💛🐾

❤️ Banjo Update ❤️

Our gorgeous boy Banjo has been back to the vet for his recheck, and he was such a superstar, he even let them take bloods so we can make sure he’s truly on the mend.

There were still some traces of blood in his urine, so his antibiotics have been extended, and he’s already doing even better. He’s getting the very best care with Ellie and his favourite human, David, keeping a close eye on him and making sure he’s loved, comfy and happy.

We’re now waiting on the results from his blood tests and will update you all as soon as we hear more.

As always, we have a vet bill to cover. Huge thank you to Abbey Boarding Kennels for stepping up time and time again for the dogs, your support and compassion mean the world to us. ❤️🖤

If you’re able to help towards Banjo’s care, we would be so grateful. Every little bit truly makes a difference.

What a weekend!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the BeKind Black and Yellow Ball 💛🖤

It truly was another incredible event (even if I do say so myself!).

Together, we raised a WHOPPING £1,405 for the charity. An amazing total that will go a long way in covering vet bills and helping us pay off some of Banjo’s kennel fees. Your generosity means the world.

The evening was filled with joy, colour, and purpose, a celebration of all things Black & Yellow, and a powerful reminder of the importance of the work that Sarah and Matt do through My Anxious Dog UK. We were lucky enough to meet Bella (from a respectful distance) and to hear Sarah speak so beautifully about her journey. Her words were a moving reminder of why it matters so much to keep our anxious dogs safe, supported, and able to navigate the world, and why others must understand this too.

I’m so grateful to everyone who attended. I made a couple of announcements on the night, and it felt only right to share with those who came out to support us. We’ll be sharing more details soon, and there’s some exciting news coming this week!

I promise to keep everyone updated as best I can. It’s a busy week ahead, so please bear with me. I’ll share updates as soon as possible.

📸 BALLERS: If you attended the Ball, photos and videos (including the 360 machine footage!) are being uploaded. Please message me for the link. If you have any pictures or videos of your own, we’d love to see them. It would be wonderful to experience the evening through everyone’s eyes.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who came, donated, and supported us.

Special thanks to:
- Greenwood & Ashcroft – for helping with the planning and being absolute stars on the night!
- HAPPY – for the stunning sunflower cupcakes 🌻
- Sarah Wells from Send A Dog A Bone – for the beautiful BeKind treat boxes and the thoughtful My Anxious Dog table treats. You are a truly kind and generous soul.
- Faces – for the brilliant 360 machine
- Sweet Imagination Thatcham – for the gorgeous table centrepieces
- Pet Remedy - for the amazing gifts we had in the Premium Hamper!
- DJ Karen – for the fantastic playlist and for taking so many requests!
- Sarah and Matt – for being such an Tylney Hallart of the evening
- Tylney Hall – for hosting us so graciously. The staff were absolutely incredible 10/10.

With love and thanks to everyone involved,
💛 Ali 🖤

Sniffing for your dog and why we encourage scatter feeding especially with rescue dogs.

Scatter feeding is a calming, enrichment-based activity that encourages natural foraging behaviour, which has been shown to lower a dog’s heart rate and reduce cortisol (the stress hormone). It’s particularly beneficial for dogs who are hyper-vigilant, anxious, or prone to scanning, as it redirects their focus to something positive and self-soothing.

Importantly, dogs don’t “switch off their ears” when they sniff, olfactory work simply shifts their attention in a way that helps regulate the nervous system. This is supported by research showing that sniffing activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) response, promoting relaxation and focus.

It is also important to build up sniffing and scatter feeding for each individual dog. For some dogs it can be overwhelming, it can build frustration or they simply may not understand what they’re meant to do. It’s up to us to help, guide and work with them to be able to understand. We need to understand when to switch things up and when to change things to suit the dog not us.

When working with dogs, managing the environment and assessing risk for each individual dog is essential. You don’t help a dog feel safe by putting them in situations where they aren’t safe or by using equipment or methods that hurt them physically or emotionally. Safety and trust always come first. That is how we build true confidence and stability.

💛 BeKind Rescue Update! 💛

We’re so happy to share that Banjo is doing really well! He’s been improving each day, full of beans (and attitude!) as he recovers. He’ll be heading back to the vet in a few days for a check-up, but so far things are looking really positive. We would like to progress with blood tests to ensure things are nice and level. We also still owe for his kennels bills and we really need to get up to date with this. Especially since the care really is second to none.

And our sweet Bella is also doing brilliantly! she’s settling into her foster home, getting lots of rest and relaxation and starting to show her gentle, loving nature now that she’s feeling safe and cared for 💕

We’re still raising funds to help cover Bella’s vet and grooming costs, so if you’re able to spare even a few pounds, it makes a real difference to dogs like her who deserve a fresh start.

🐶💫 Every share, like, and donation helps us continue this work. thank you for being part of their journey.

💛 Banjo Update! 💛

Our lovely Banjo went back to the vet this morning and, thankfully, his urine has improved! 🎉 True to form, he then proceeded to bounce around the practice, making sure everyone knew that King Banjo had arrived 👑🐾

The vet was pleased to see that the antibiotic injection given last night had already started to work. Rather than sedating him unnecessarily, she’s prescribed a course of antibiotics and sent him on his merry way. He’s now back home with the crew at Abbey’s, resting and healing.

Ellie and David are keeping a very close eye on him and will get him straight back in if there’s any sign of change, but for now, things are looking really positive 🙏

💛 The vet bill from today is attached and, as always, we really need your help to cover this cost. Every little bit makes a huge difference to our small rescue and helps us keep saying “yes” to dogs like Banjo who need us most.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s already donated we’re so, so grateful. And a special shoutout to Poundie for covering Banjo’s bill from last night. It’s truly heartwarming to have such kind friends in other rescues who help lift us up when we need it most. 💕 We will get some photos and videos for you asap ❤️🥰

💛 Banjo needs our help 💛

Our sweet boy Banjo, who’s currently at Abbey Boarding Kennels being lovingly cared for by Ellie and David, hasn’t been feeling quite himself the last few days. He’s had extra house time, plenty of cuddles, and seemed to be perking up but today, Ellie noticed blood in his urine.

He’s been to the vet this evening, and we’re all keeping everything crossed that it’s nothing serious. Still, we’re worried and as many of you know, vet bills add up fast. We’re trying so hard not to fall behind again, but we can’t do it without your support.

He is booked back in first thing tomorrow for sedation and Ultrasound. The vet is unsure but they are going to check for a kidney stone, or anything to do with his prostate. They will run bloods and he will get the full works to figure out what is happening with our boy.

Current to pay is £122
Estimated tomorrow £1,346

🙏 Please, if you’re able, help us raise funds for Banjo’s vet care. Every single pound makes a difference and goes directly toward giving him the care he deserves.

A huge thank you to Ellie and David for all the love they plough into the dogs every day, 24/7. The dogs adore them and we’d have been lost without their support! we know Banjo is in the best hands and will get the best care ❤️

Donate, share, or simply send a kind thought his way, it all helps.

Thank you, from Team Banjo ❤️🤞🏽

Could You Be a Foster Carer?

At BeKind Rescue, we’re looking for loving foster families to open their hearts and homes to dogs in need. 💛

All you need is time, love, patience, and a little space in your home. Our dogs often come from difficult backgrounds and simply need the chance to decompress, settle, and feel safe again.

You’ll never be alone on the journey. Our volunteer’s are qualified dog trainers (all with a minimum Level 4 Behaviour qualification) and we’ll be with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll make sure every dog gets the care, kindness, and understanding they deserve.

If you can offer a temporary home, and a lot of love, we’d love to hear from you! 💛
