Phil
I’m Homed
Very sadly Phil has been returned today. His family are very upset to have to bring him back to the kennels. They feel he would be happier in a home with older children. Xxx (Kate)

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another lovely morning this morning, and with only 5 residents it was all a bit quiet and calm for a change! Some good clean kennels meant we had cleaning and feeding done in record time and were ready to start the day in good time. Our sweet little Lady is still very reluctant to return to her kennel once she’s come out and usually digs her heels in - but today we were able to feed her alongside the lovely Scooby and she accompanied Scooby back to the kennels without a problem after breakfast. She needs a companion to show her the way, and she has bonded with Scooby - if only we were able to find them a home together 🙏❤️ We took advantage of being quiet to get all those myriad of little jobs that always take second place sorted, and took advantage of it as we have 4 new arrivals scheduled for the coming week. Handsome Bullet had a viewing so it’s 🤞for him. Enjoy your weekend one and all, the year is rushing by. Angie x

Gromit (Bullet)

Bullet went to the park yesterday for the first time. He walked with one of our volunteers. Bullet did very well to get to the park as we had to walk along a busy road with lots of traffic. Bullet was a little nervous of the lorries that went past but did really well and seemed to like to walk with the other dogs. In the park Bullet saw an off lead dog. Bullet was interested but disengaged and continued to walk in the opposite direction. Bullet also saw a few squirrels and again was interested but managed to disengage. Bullet did very well for his first park visit. Thank you to one of our volunteers for taking him!

Jag
I’m Homed
Jag went to the park yesterday for the first time. He was a bit keen to begin with but this is probably because it was a new place for him. He saw a dog that was off lead and was interested but did not show any reactions. He also saw a couple of squirrels and disengaged from them and carried on walking in the other direction. Overall Jag did very well for his first trip to the park.

Lady
I’m Homed
Lady’s been back at the kennels for a couple of weeks but I’ve taken her out for walks in Elmdon park a few times to see what we can do to keep her walking. She’s really keen on a walk for at least half an hour, with lots of sniffing and looking at her surroundings, especially if she’s somewhere new, and only stops if she sees another dog or people and that’s just to watch them. She’s very inquisitive and likes to see what’s going on! Once they’ve walked away or in another direction, she carries on walking. Later in the walk she stops for no apparent reason, but after just standing and waiting with her, she moves on again within a minute or two. She just needs a bit of time and patience and she keeps walking so needs someone who doesn’t mind waiting on and off and isn’t in a hurry. She is very sweet and loves fuss.

We are heartbroken to hear the sad news about your beautiful Podge, a gentle soul taken way too soon. Thank you for giving him a wonderful retirement, albeit far too short. Run free Podge 🌈

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi all, I thought I would comment on our gorgeous boy Podge's page, as unfortunately today he lost his battle with an aggressive lymphoma. He originally got poorly in June, and after lots of tests, almost 13kg in weight-loss and many expensive vet bills ~ he was diagnosed with a low-grade lymphoma in his gut. Sadly, no-one expected it to actually be a very nasty, fast-moving disease. Despite two additional happy months where he responded really well to treatment, he suddenly became very poorly again on Thursday, and heartbreakingly letting him rest became the fairest and kindest option. We are so pleased we got to love this special boy for nine wonderful months. He was such a character, and made our lives so much better. He leaves behind a legacy of many un-opened sardine tins and a huge love and desire to rescue more lovely Grey's. Thank you to the team for letting us show him what it was like to be a 'real' dog, and be loved. <strong>❤️❤️❤️</strong><span> - Charlotte & Paddy</span>

It was a joy to be able to venture outside this morning without sizzling!!! Honestly, I can’t recall a time when we’ve had so much ridiculously hot weather 🥵- it’s been a real challenge at times to keep both ourselves and our hounds comfortable. After some recent homings we were down to 7 residents today, so a bit less pressure 😀 Whilst all our boys & girls are lovely, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for the very handsome Jag. Such a fuss monster, he rests his head on your arm and looks longingly at you, delighting in being around a human. Lady is doing so well now, but absolutely hates going back into her kennel bless her - she plants her feet and sometimes even a tasty treat won’t entice her back! She really needs to be out in a home of her own where she can settle in, be a part of a family and tackle the world at her own pace ❤️ The year is flying by, is it just me or does it feel like there aren’t as many hours in the day as there used to be 😂! Summer is cracking on and Autumn is just around the corner - I must be getting old!!! Have a good weekend one and all, keep cool and safe and give your hounds a hug - they deserve it 😍 Angie x
