Alex
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So sad to see this lovely lad come back today. He is understandably quite stressed at the moment, and we really hope he can get back out into a forever home again soon. He gets extra special cuddles tonight. Xxx

Such a shame to see this little poppet back. She is so sweet, and is understandably a bit bewildered at the moment, so let’s hope she will soon find herself another home. Big snuggles for her tonight. Xx

Bertie (Joe)
I’m Homed
Joe is such a character. We always put him in the big feeding run as he enjoys a good bounce and romp about - and tries to encourage the other dogs to join in his fun! He has been in kennels far too long, and should really have his own family to play with. Cuddles for him tonight. Xx

Jay (Johnny)
I’m Homed
Johnny is such a quiet, unassuming lad. He loves to spend time upside down in his bed, legs in the air - which is fine unless he has been out for a walk along wet pavements, and then he leaves very artistic, muddy trails all around the white kennel walls!!!! Cuddles for him tonight, it’s about time he was on his very own sofa. Xx

Monty (Joey)
I’m Homed
Joey joined me for some playtime in the sand run today. He loves to play, and delights in chasing after a toy you throw, then brings it back to you so you can throw it again. He is on a special diet due to his kidney problems and he really enjoys it, relishing every bit. His health issues certainly aren’t stopping him enjoying life - and he would love to be out in his forever home to carry on playing and having fun. Cuddles for him tonight. Xxx

Winny
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Winny had a lovely time in the sand run today. She has been such a quiet, withdrawn girl since her return, but she actually had a little play and enjoyed some zoomies. Fingers crossed that she is back out in a forever home very soon. Xx

I had a lovely time in the sand run with this fabulous boy today. He enjoyed a little trot around, with plenty of sniffing, then trotted back to me when he’d had enough and we went back to his kennel. There we enjoyed lots of snuggles, and each time I stopped cuddling he gave me the “paw of more” - I was there for some time!!! Big cuddles for this gentle soul tonight. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
The sad week continued at Daybreaks with the return of Alex first thing this morning. Let's hope that all our returnees, who are understandably a bit stressed and bemused, will soon settle - but even better will find themselves back out on their own sofas again very soon.xx Jo was on the Vet run this morning - Alfie's turn today. He was still a bit wobbly on his return this afternoon and wasn't interested in his supper, hope he feels a bit brighter tomorrow. He will soon be off to his new home. x With an overflowing kennels, and a depleted Team, it was a very busy day, but all the residents had walks or playtime in the sand run. The weather deteriorated this afternoon, but fortunately everyone was back from the afternoon walk before the downpour started. There were lots of healthchecks, weighings and groomings to do, and we had several kind donations of towels and bedding. The diary is busy again this weekend, so keep everything crossed for our boys & girls - we need to see some red or green signs. I shall raise my glass later in the hope that forever homes are just around the corner for our lovely hounds. Whatever you are up to this weekend, as ever, stay safe - and dry!! Cheers!! Angie xx

I'm so very sorry to hear you have had to let your beautiful Ruby go. Xxx I know there were times during her life when she was very poorly, but you were always there for her and nursed her back to health. What a wonderful, long and happy life she has had with you. Obviously loved so very much, what a lucky girl! God Bless Ruby. Xxx Thinking of you all and sending lots of love, Kate Xxx

Alex

Very sadly due to a change in family circumstances Alex has come back to Daybreaks. He is house trained, walks well, is ok with children, ok with medium to large breeds but not small dogs.

We are heartbroken to say that on the evening of Wednesday 9th March we had to make the heartbreaking decision to allow the vet to lay Ruby to rest. She was 13 years and 9mths old and her health over the past 10 days had taken a sudden and unexpected turn for the worse. There was nothing more medically that could be done. We know she is now happy and pain free now which was always our focus. But as you will all understand we feel our heart has been absolutely ripped out of us.

Rosie was returned to the kennels first thing this morning. It was very sad for all concerned. She is a very sweet girl and I am sure she will soon find another home. Xxx Many thanks to Alan and Declan for going to the warehouse for us this afternoon. Xxx Shirley gave the treatment room a good clean and and Richard worked on the rotten wood in the front door. :)) Rosie came in this afternoon and completed homing packs for all the dogs. 🙂 Xxx Thanks to everyone for all their help today. Xxx It has been a hard week with Alfie, Winny and Rosie coming back to the kennels. If you are interested in offering any of our beautiful boys and girls a home please give us a call and come and meet them. :)) Xxx

Nuggett
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Two ladies dropped some bedding off for us this morning and during our conversation they mentioned a lovely older lad who they see regularly walking with his owner....his name is Nuggett. Turns out he is our very own lad who was homed many years ago and is now 14 years old! I am so happy to hear about him. I will never forget the day Ruth and I visited him and his family to help with some training. Whilst we were admiring their garden Nuggett was raiding Ruth's bag...we turned around to see him and a string of dried sausages dissappearing up the stairs! :)) A truly lovely lad and a fantastic character. Xxx

Very sadly Rosie has been returned today. Unfortunately she wasn't doing too well with the youngest member of the family and we all decided it was best for her to come back to Daybreaks. Her family are distraught and say she is a wonderful girl who walks well on the lead and is great with other dogs. She is houstrained and can be left on her own. They feel she would be happier in a home without young children. Xxx
