Roxie
I’m Homed
As Kate has already said Roxie is a big happy friendly lad. I can confirm that after our visit to Elmdon Park today. As a big lad it was fortunate he jumped on his own into the car and travelled sensibly to the park. He is quite strong on the lead and prospective adoptors should bear that in mind. There were no problems with him meeting medium and larger breeds but caution still needed with smaller dogs. He loves affection and will enjoy life in a home with a loving active lifestyle

Barney

Happy Birthday to our beloved Barney! Can you believe that this charming boy was once overlooked by everyone? After 6 months of fostering, we couldn't resist his quirky charm any longer and provided him with his forever home. We're still baffled that no one scooped him up sooner because Barney is truly one-of-a-kind! He's got such a big heart, especially when it comes to looking out for Caesar, even if he occasionally gives him a scolding. And let's not forget his adorable habit of collecting our shoes and snuggling them in his bed! During my work hours, Barney is the best sidekick ever, always by my side as the ultimate stooge dog. And although he's turning 8 today and can't donate blood anymore, he always gets super excited every time he sees the blood bank bus – mostly for the treats, of course! That is what he will miss most!! Here's to you, Barney! Wishing you a paws-itively fabulous birthday and many more years of fun, love, and shoe-stealing antics!

Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
Can you believe it? Another year older and still as mischievous as ever! Who knew our furry friend would become the reigning champion of antics and good-natured chaos? From stealing food to charming strangers, Caesar's antics keep us all on our toes! But amidst the laughter, there's a deeper admiration for Caesar's resilience. Who would've thought he'd defy the odds and keep wagging his tail with such gusto? You're not just a pet; you're a true inspiration, Caesar. And as for your birthday treat, well, let's just say that fish cake pie scent wasn't exactly subtle. But who could blame you? A dog's gotta celebrate in style, right? So here's to you, Caesar! Keep being the brilliant, cheeky fighter that you are. And Sofia's got a surprise in store for you, so get ready to paw-ty like never before!!!

This very handsome boy is awaiting a forever home..... he is so lovely and being a blue brindle is extremely striking with his looks. He would be best with company - either canine or human and is house trained. I have just added some more photos and if you are interested, we can put you in touch with his foster family. At 5 years old we want to find him his forever home rather than continuing to be fostered.....

Roxie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Roxie. The family have written the following tribute and asked for me to post on their behalf. Very sad news...darling Roxie was put to sleep on Wednesday 27 March 2024. She had become unwell a few weeks ago with a serious problem in her tummy. The problem persisted so she had tests including an ultrasound. Despite this she still had a good appetite and enjoyed gently playing with her squeaky toys but was obviously getting worse despite steroid treatment. She lost a massive amount of weight and began to go downhill quite quickly over the last few days. With no benefit from steroids and no other treatment that would help her the best thing was to prevent any further suffering so the vet helped her on her way. As ever she was a gentle, patient girl at the vet and didn’t murmur or flinch at the injection. Three of us held her as she gently slipped away, telling her what a good girl she was. She was far too young to leave us – she would have been 7 on 1 July. To say that we are heartbroken doesn’t even cover it. Sleep well Roxie….sweetest, best girl ever. With very best wishes and thanks for all the wonderful work that you do. Shellie Baytt
