Charlie
I’m Homed
Charlie sadly has just one toe on one of her hind legs. However although she does hop when walking I wonder if this may have just becomes a habit as on her visit to Elmdon Park today she was leaping around on the lead at the sight of other dogs running free off the lead. She's an affectionate girl who does seem to have a lot of fun in her which is waiting to be shared with whoever can give her the loving home she deserves

Jenny

Jenny only arrived at Daybreaks on Sunday but she was able to enjoy her early walk at Elmdon Park before the temperature got too high. She travelled quietly in the car and walked sensibly on the lead. With other dogs she met she reacted in a calm way. Another lovely black girl who hopefully won't have to wait too long for that loving home all our boys and girls deserve

Tiny
I’m Homed
I've been keeping an eye on Tiny, she sounds such a character. We aren't ready to take on a hound until late September due to commitments. Part of me hopes she finds her forever home before then so she's not in kennels any longer than needs be, but the other half wants her to still be there when we can offer the time to get her used to a home etc. If she is we'll come to meet her.

Fred
I’m Homed
After taking Fred to Elmdon Park today I think he should be renamed "Fab Boy Fred" !!!!! He was an absolute delight to take out. He travelled well in the car even jumping in on his own on the return journey. He met other breeds of all sizes without any problems He was also fine meeting children. Fred walks sensibly on the lead and has a Happy friendly nature. A lovely lad just waiting for his loving home.

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
We had a new game for the girls and boys to try out today. It's called Push-n-pop treat dispenser. The idea is the dogs push it along and treats pop out! Well, Tiny absolutely loved it! She is a very clever girl and was soon happily pushing it around. Monty was great with it too. :)) Charlie was a little unsure of how hard to push it and Bob got bored quite quickly. :)) We give our residents enrichment every day. We have licki mats, snuffle mats, kongs, bone spinners and many other games for them to play with. It helps to stimulate their minds and give them something to look forward to. :)) A simple game to play at home is the "box game" Just collect all your empty boxes...egg boxes, serial boxes, tissue boxes, anything that you can put a few treats in. Then spread them around the garden or the lounge. Lyra and Cracker get so excited, running round looking for the treats. They also love ripping up the boxes! :)) Its lovely to see them having so much fun. Xxx Many thanks to Clare (Insight Hounds) for introducing me to the world of enrichment! Xxx
