Rocky
I’m Homed
Hello all, we've now had Rocky for 9 weeks now, he's doing really well, loves his walks (he has 3 a day) and adores lying in the garden with a few zoomies when he's in a silly mood which is quite often lately. We are still having issues with meeting people, even when introductions are made and he seems happy to be fussed he suddenly barks for no reason. To clarify its not a nasty teeth bearing bark, just a kind of warning bark, but only to certain people, very strange. But we love him to bits, he makes us laugh, the one day I was washing up and felt a gentle squeeze to my bottom, I thought it was my other half catching a cheeky pinch, turned round to find Rocky play bowing wagging his tail. He has lots of admirers when I walk him, and why not, he's gorgeous. He has an appointment at the vets to determine if he needs to see a chiropractor to check any issues with his head/neck area, why he may be barking at people. Will update on how this pans out. X

Molly
I’m Homed
Molly has been staying with us since Sunday as she was struggling being back in kennels after a few years in a home. She took a couple of days to settle, and then started to eat properly and found the sofa! She seemed to want to play with our 3 but they are now just too old and told her they weren’t interested, so she wandered off and lay down somewhere else. She is a bit reactive to other dogs when we’re out on a walk, but this is variable. She’ll definitely bark at running dogs and sometimes also at another dog walking nearby but not always. She loves being near people but can’t manage the stairs without lots of help (which has included being carried by hoomans!) but we’ll keep practising with her as she wants to be up there when Paul’s working from home. She is a very sweet little girl and seems to just want company, although doesn’t seem to get upset if left with the other dogs if we go out. She doesn’t look or act her age at all and would love company and a sofa and a toy or two. Please don’t overlook her because of her age. She deserves another forever home xx

Bobby
I’m Homed
Bobby went off to the vets for his Neutering operation this morning. He was a very good boy and loved the extra cuddles he received from Debbie! Xxx Ruth and I collected him this afternoon. He was very wobbly as he came out of the vets, but managed to eat his dinner when he got back to the kennels. Bobby is a really lovely, affectionate lad. Xxx

Hello everyone! Last couples days have been ever so exciting. Florence and Auntie Klaire are here! I went mental when they arrived! Last night we did bed swaps and tail wagging competitions. Today we have gone to TWO pet shops. Which was fun and had a walk around Arden hall. I follow Florence everywhere and check she is ok. I even gave her a kiss! Lubs Monty xx

Thanks so much to Norman for taking Bobby to the park this morning. :)) He still looks quite worried sometimes, but is beginning to settle in his new surroundings. He does love lots of cuddles! Xxx

Truf Truf says hi! She has been to the cafe in Kenilworth with her doggy friend and been a really good girl meeting lots of different people and dogs. She went into Iceland to do a bit of shopping (chose sardines - obviously!) and the checkout lady gave her a bonio for being a good girl. She is walking in the big park very much more confidently now. Xx

I'm a little bit late on the update on this: The slip road onto the A45 towards the kennels from Birmingham Airport is now back OPEN... it has been a long 6 months with that being closed but thankful its back open. Much quicker getting to the kennels from Sheldon area.

Bobby
I’m Homed
Bobby today paid a visit to Elmdon Park. He was a pleasure to be with in the park. After travelling perfectly in the car he walked sensibly throughout on the lead. On meeting other breeds although showing curiosity there was no aggression whatsoever He is a really quiet amiable dog who will be a fabulous addition to his future home when it finally arrives
