I’m Homed
What a lovely Autumnal morning, sunshine and a mild breeze - it was very pleasant working and our boys and girls certainly appreciated it. We think that our fabulous Patrick knows he has been reserved and will soon be going home (well you never know) as there was such a change in him today - a super waggy tail, coming up to you for a fuss and some very spectacular Tigger style bouncing as his breakfast bowl was approaching😍 The beautiful Foxy is a bit bemused at finding herself back in kennels bless her. She’s a bit of a lively poppet who can get a bit enthusiastic, she’s a bit like a big puppy! The year is flying past - where is the time going?? Entries for our calendar stars competition have been coming in thick and fast, and there are some absolutely gorgeous photos. I’m so glad I don’t have to choose - they’re all winners to me. The competition is now closed, the winners will be announced and 2026 calendars will be available very soon. Thanks to everyone who took part and to Natalie for coordinating everything. I hope your hounds don’t suffer too much from the awful fireworks that seem so prevalent and so loud now - poor Minnie absolutely hates them and takes refuge in our pantry, shaking and panting, it’s so horrible to see and know you can’t do much to help. Every hound is different, some need a cuddle for reassurance and some just want to hide in a dark place, just do whatever your hound needs and pray for the end of firework season. Have a lovely weekend one and all, stay safe. Angie x

So happy to see this. We met Patrick when we chose Millie, but I knew with a loud teenage boy we would be too much for him. I fell in love with him nonetheless and have been checking back every few days in the hope he found a good home. I'm so pleased for him

Ellie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Last week beautiful Ellie was very sadly taken seriously ill. X-rays showed she tragically had bone cancer. We were advised by our vet that the kindest thing for us to do was to let her go. Xxx We are so grateful to Maud for looking after Ellie during her illness. She was surrounded by so much love. Xxx Rainbow Bridge has gained another sweet and gentle soul. Xxx

Nelly

I took Nelly to Elmdon park today. She was interested in every sight and every sound. She was keen to say hello to other dogs (although she may need a bit more work on her social etiquette when it comes to introducing herself!!) and she enjoyed bouncing around with a puppy we met. She is a really friendly girl and loves fuss and attention. I think she will make an amazing pet.

Cody
I’m Fostered
I’ve fostered Cody for just over 3 weeks now and she’s such a different dog from the little scaredy thing who arrived. She spent the first 3 days in a crate I set up for her having her food and water there. Then she realised we weren’t too bad and gradually started coming out for a look. She’s followed my other dogs to learn the daily routine and now does zoomies at meal times and comes and joins the melee for treats after tea. She gets on the sofa if you let her and LOVES the TV (she’ll need at least a 52” in any new home, please). She now only uses the crate for bed or if we go out. She’s mostly clean in the house and we’re having less accidents now that she trusts me enough to come when called (mostly) and be put outside fairly often. Walking-wise I’d didn’t walk her for about 10 days. Then only for a few minutes at a time every 2-3 days. She’s still nervous and is learning to tolerate cars. A home in a quiet area would suit her well. We live in a cul de sac in an area of dead ends and no through routes so any cars near us are already going fairly slowly to park or turn into one of the other dead ends. Yesterday we walked towards the main road and looked at the passing traffic for a few minutes and then came away. Any adopter will need to be aware of her stress thresholds and be prepared to work with her as she gets braver and more familiar with everyday sights and sounds. We are now up to 20 minutes walk most days.. Cody is a super girly and although she will go backwards again when she moves to her forever home, she will make a patient adopter such a lovely companion.
