Leo
I’m Homed
I've added some new photos of lovely Leo. I just adore this boy, if I could have him I absolutely would but my circumstances just aren't right. I always rush to walk this boy whenever I'm in, mainly because of the amount of love and excitement I get from him as soon as I enter his kennel! He loves his walks and it's so clear to see as he bounces around and his tail wags furiously! He's so affectionate when you bring him back too, I've stolen many cuddles with him. He does need someone firm and to set boundaries, he needs someone able to implement a simple but solid routine and STICK to it, someone who can help him with his separation anxiety, who has the time and patience to help him make the transition from a kennel dog to a home dog. Please give him consideration if you can offer those things, he's going to be such a wonderful pet for someone. xx

Wednesday was upon us, thanks to the Wednesday walkers this morning and to Denise and Dave. Chris has had the cheek to book this week off, well I never!!! I met Mikey our new arrival from yesterday, wow he is so handsome. We had New arrival Billy today, he was a little unsure of his new surroundings, but by the time we left the kennels he seemed to be settled. Thanks to ever one for the donations of bedding. Lovely Leo and Super Sanka are still waiting for their forever homes, they really are super lads and have both experienced a home environment, please don't overlook these boys, you will not be disappointed. Just a reminder, we have tickets on sale for our first post covid event, Mike Stewart Lawrence and his band are very kindly putting on a 'gig' to raise funds for the kennel. As previously mentioned Mike has toured America and has had several tracks reach the American charts. Tickets are £7.00 and available from the kennels, the venue is The Dovehouse Theatre and there is a bar, woohoo. If you would like tickets they are available from the kennels or you can book over the phone and pay by card. As always stay safe and well, not long now until some of the c ovid restrictions are lifted. Xx

Topsy
I’m Homed
Topsy looked a little fed up when Yvonne and I opened up this morning. She is on her own at the moment after Phoenix went home yesterday. When Norman arrived and offered to take her to the park, we thought it would cheer her up. :)) She is a very affectionate, bright little girl who likes to watch what's going on in the kennels from the comfort of her bed! 🙂 Thanks so much to Norman for taking her out. :)) Xxx

Roxie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Roxie fell head over heels in love with new arrival Mikey when they met today! They were in adjoining runs....she was dancing around, tail wagging. In return Mikey kept spinning around, showing off! It was so funny to watch. Roxie is an absolutely delightful little girl. Xxx

Monty (Chase)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have had Monty 3 weeks tomorrow and you would have thought he had been here for years. He likes to wake me up nice and early for breakfast when it’s my day off around 5am. When I am at work he likes to have a lie in and wake the others between 8am to 9am. He loves his meal times and loves a good lean. We all get plenty of love and wagging tails. His confidence with other dogs is improving but he would rather be left alone after a introduction. We have got used to having his nose in every draw, cupboard and fridge we open. He loves our company and we love our boy who just wants to be loved and shown the big wide world.

Topsy
I’m Homed
Topsy paid her first visit to Elmdon park today. As would be expected on a first visit she was quite keen on the lead and anxious to explore as much of the park as she could. New sights such as the swans with their cygnets intrerested her but as with her reaction to other breeds there was no sign of aggression. Anyone looking for an affectionate lively girl who has already bonded with 2 boy kennel companions in Spike and Phoenix would find Topsy the ideal girl for them

Harry
I’m Homed
Sadly Harry needs to find a new home. It is due to unfortunate change in the owners circumstances. He is great with children but unfortunately not good with other small dogs or cats. If we can avoid him coming into kennels we would appreciate it - their owner can hold on to them for a couple of weeks. If you think you can offer him a home, please call us.

A great day....Phoenix went home! :)) It was a relatively quiet day at the kennels. It gave our volunteers more time to spend with our residents. They all enjoyed two good walks, grooming and teeth cleaning. :)) All of our current boys and girls are lovely and would be a fantastic addition to someone's family. Xxx Topsy finds herself on her own again after saying goodbye to her kennel mates...first Spike and now Phoenix. She is a gorgeous girl. I'm sure it won't be long before she finds her forever home. Xxx Roxie's character is beginning to emerge now she is starting to settle. She has a super little twinkle in her eye and has a little dash around the feeding runs! Xxx Ruth came in for a couple of hours even though it was her day off....she had some urgent paperwork to complete. It was fun watching Tony playing with all the toys. There is a knitted Greyhound who is now twice as long as he should be! :)) Many thanks to Yvonne, Gloria, Myra and Dave for all their help today, and thanks to Shirley for all her hard work tidying the sand run. So grateful to you all. Xxx We have two new arrivals due in this week. :)) Looking forward to meeting them. 🙂 Xxx

After the wonderful news that Phoenix was homed, it must surely be the turn of Lovely Leo and Super Sanka next. These boys are fantastic and really deserve to find their forever homes. Please, please give the kennels a call and find out more about these boys if you are interested. Thank you. X

A big cuddle for Phoenix tonight. :)) It cheered us all up to see him go home this afternoon! Xxx His new family are lovely. His new Mom came to pick him up and his new Nanny was waiting excitedly at home for him to arrive. I had the pleasure of dropping them home and she was quite overwhelmed to meet him. Xxx They had seen him on the website and decided he was the lad for them. :)) Wishing them all lots of happy times together. Xxxe
