Over the years we have had dogs returned to us for numerous reasons. Some of these cases are very genuine - owners have tried everything and it just hasn’t worked out OR their circumstances have changed in such a way that it would no longer be right for the dog. We understand these circumstances🐾

However, what we can’t seem to understand is how so many dogs get returned to us for “not settling”. This can be from as little to 12hours in the home, up to 3 weeks😔

We always give advice to our adopters that you should expect separation type behaviours when you first get the dog home, for as long as it takes them to settle. This applies to EVERY dog, regardless of breed - even puppies!🧡

Every dog is unique, and the settling period will be different for each of them, so this is something really important for adopters to understand, be prepared for and willing to take on🙏🏻

We have so many beautiful dogs with us waiting for their forever homes, but please consider before applying - are you prepared to explore every avenue and option to ensure you can provide them with the life they deserve before returning them to their rescue?🤔

It truly is heartbreaking to have our animals returned to us when we (and they) think they’ve gone to their forever home💔

As a rescue, we only want what is best for our animals and the more homes they have, the more confusing and unsettling it gets for them. All animals (not just dogs) are a LIFETIME commitment🐾🧡

Brachycephalic dogs, which have short, flat noses and elongated skulls (like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus), are at risk of heat-related issues because their anatomy makes it harder for them to cool down. They have less efficient respiratory systems and struggle with effective panting, which is their primary method of heat dissipation. In hot weather, they are more susceptible to overheating, heatstroke, and respiratory distress. To keep them safe, it's best to avoid walks during hot weather and ensure they stay cool with plenty of water and shade.

Remember to stick to early morning or late evening dog walks when it's hot. Sometimes it's safer to miss the walk altogether 🥵

Taking your dog on a walk or to places with little or no shade can be fatal during summer. It's important for dog owners to remember… If in doubt, DON’T go out!

Heat-related illnesses in dogs are severe and can lead to organ failure, brain damage and even death 💔
