It started off with us short of two of our regular volunteers, but we gained an extra Wednesday walker, I would like to welcome Ian back who previously volunteered at the kennels. Sadly Ruth had an urgent vet run this morning, little Jess was in the run after breakfast and was holding her head to one side, she was also a little wobbly. We suspected that she had had a stroke, the vets seem to think that was the case. She was undergoing tests and Ruth was taking her home for observation. Everything crossed for this little girl. Buddy was signed up today by a lovely couple that Ruth knows from the days when she volunteered at Monmore!! He is a lucky boy and massive thanks to Caroline who had fostered him after his previous owner sadly passed away. Mentioning Caroline, she came in to drop Buddy off for his homing and was convinced to take Flower on foster for a few days for further evaluation. Thanks very much Caroline. Xx There is a new arrival tomorrow, she was due to arrive on Friday but had a call to say she is arriving tomorrow, keep an eye on the website. Many thanks to everyone for their help today, as ever very much appreciated. It's looking very festive at the kennels with the multinn Christmas trees up and the festive honesty box set up! On a final note, the Simon Stevens Daybreaks Fundraiser is doing well, let's push this and 'put it out there', share far and wide, there have even been donations fro the USA! You can follow the link on Facebook and donations can also be made directly at the kennels or by phone. Simons wish was to secure the future of the kennels, he was such a lovely, selfless man who always thought of others first (although I secretly think he sometimes questioned Ruth's logic on some of her schemes, he had the rolling eyes down to perfection)! As always stay safe and well, take care all. Xx

Does anyone live in the Wednesbury/West Bromwich area? We have had an offer of a donation of tinned food but sadly the lady doesn't drive and would need to meet somewhere in that area.
