So sad things haven't worked out this time for Chloe, it has to be the right situation for everyone. We are very grateful to Jasper's family for trying them together. She was a star during her stay with them. :)) Sure she will soon find her forever home. Xxx

After having Chloe to stay with a view to adopting her, we made a very difficult decision that it is not right for Jasper, who has been misbehaving, refusing to walk and generally being stubborn since she came to visit! We are really sad not to be able to give her a forever home, so it is with a heavy heart we have to unreserve her. Wishing she finds the most amazing home very soon. Please please someone give her a chance - see our post below about how wonderful she is! X

Firstly, I would like to welcome Denise back to the Kennels after being unwell with the dreaded covid, she finally had 2 negative results over the past few days. The chucks were pleased to see her as were we!! Thanks too to the Wednesday walkers for taking all the dogs out this morning, providing coffee, toasted fruit loaf, wrecking the office clock, knocking a piece of plastic covering off in the bottom kennel block and.....I could go on. I will be requesting a change in my working day, not sure how long I can cope with them before they tip me over the edge (might be too late already) !!!!!! We were very short on help this afternoon, but thanks to Chris and Annie the dogs all had afternoon walks. Poor Josh was on no walks as he was limping, it looks like he has something in his pad, Ruth is going to dig around tomorrow to see if he has got something in there. He spent the day in the feeding run with a raised bed and toys. He had not been eating well since his return on Monday, but this afternoon he wolfed his dinner down. I would just like to say our lovely Wednesday college work placement student Annie has really come out of her shell. She was very shy and seemed a little unsure of what was expected of her....well she has blossomed and gets on with the daily tasks, only asking when she arrives what we want her to do, after that she uses her initiative and gets on with whatever needs to be done. I really felt that she should have recognition for her hard work. It was very quiet for visitors today just a couple of sand run bookings although the phone was fairly busy. Hoping that the next few days will result in more red and green signs.

It was typical Bank Holiday weather today! Dull and overcast but there was nothing dull about our lovely dogs! :)) They all enjoyed their morning walks and it warmed up enough for them to have some time outside in the runs before more walks this afternoon. :)) A lovely couple who met Georgie yesterday came back to see her again today and Reserved her! So happy for this super little girl. 🙂 We had a visit from Handsome Tom and his Mum Sue...he wasn't too impressed about having his nails clipped! Gorgeous Bolt came to see us too. Many thanks to Hillary for all the donations. Xxx Very sadly Josh came back to the kennels this afternoon. We will do our best to find him another home. His owner was very upset to have to teturn him. Xxx We are so grateful to Jayne for coming in and giving the memorial garden a makeover. It looks great and a fitting tranquil and beautiful space to sit and remember. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today and spending your May Day with us. :)) Xxx

We have just had the pleasure of Chloe’s company for a day, for a sleepover with our big lad. He wasn’t impressed at having to share his home, but we absolutely loved Chloe. She is a superstar, and we wanted to write something here to help find her a loving forever home. Chloe walks amazingly well on the lead. She trots on, and likes to sniff. She is interested in her surroundings but doesn’t pull. She was also interested in a couple of cats we saw and a Westie, but was very easy to move along. She seems to understand that outside is for toilet business, and appears mostly house trained - signalling to go outside already. She trots over when you call “come on” but doesn’t seem to know her name at all. She did try a bit of counter surfing but again, easily corrected. She is food oriented so we are certain that training would be easy. The stairs were of interest and eventually she managed them! She went up all by herself and eventually figured out how to come down alone too. She travelled well in the car, settling quickly in the boot after jumping in by herself! She loved chasing a ball-on-a-rope in the garden, tossing it around and doing some zoomies. She is very playful! She found some cuddly toys of interest and a kong, so had a go on those too. After play time she took herself off to her crate or settled on a bed or the sofa and had a snooze. She is extremely affectionate, enjoying lots of fuss and had a lean. She was a little worried when one of us left the house but soon settled again. She slept really well overnight in her crate. Chloe was a brave girl for her first time in a home, and very well behaved. She is a loving, funny, curious little lady. Whoever gets her will have a pretty much perfect dog! She deserves to find herself a comfy sofa.

We were a bit depleted for help today, so many thanks to everyone who came in and helped. The inmates all had morning and afternoon walks. It was fairly quiet for visitors apart from some sand run bookings including the now regular Sunday morning Beagle party! Our favourite boy Mikey came in for a health check and looked fantastic, he then had some fun in the sand run. He is doing really well. Andy who is out on foster also came in, he too is doing really well and has started to enjoy his food more, so he will be having some extra food now he has settled. Thanks to his foster family for taking such good care of him...hmm it's very difficult to give a foster dog back, who knows what may happen? Well, as always stay safe and well everyone.
