Woody
I’m Homed
I’m giving my cuddle to Woody tonight. He was such a good boy on his walk this afternoon and seemed quite confident. He was a bit more relaxed when I saw him in his kennel than when I saw him on Saturday and I’m sure his confidence will keep growing. I love seeing these nervous lovelies gradually getting more positive and I always want to just hug them to make them feel better xx

Star

I walked pretty little girl Star this afternoon. She is a little dot but was still a challenge to get her collar and lead on as she was so excited to go out. She was so good on the walk though and was a pleasure to take out xx

Bill
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I walked with Bill this afternoon. He was very good while I put his lead on and we got out of his kennel and he had the longest wee I have EVER seen! And he still had enough left to make sure he made his mark all the way down the lane! He was very good on the lead and happily walked along with everyone else. He’s a lovely boy :)xx

Lee, it sounds like you had a wonderful time in the park with Elizabeth. That was some walk, but you certainly seem to have really enjoyed being out and about and starting to learn all about the big wide world- well done. x

Woody
I’m Homed
Woody is gorgeous. I took his food into him in his feeding kennel this morning and he was a little wary at first but soon approached me. I walked him on both morning and afternoon walks. He stood beautifully for me to lead him up and walked really well on a loose lead. No pulling at all. After the afternoon walk I sat in his kennel for a while. He was so settled I nearly fell asleep. He wouldn't take treats directly off me but enjoyed them from the bed. Please someone give him a chance and give him his forever sofa. Good boy Woody. x

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Lots of sand run bookings today, the final one of the day resulted in some very exciting news. The lovely owners of Spirit (Dave) who homed him a week ago decided that they wanted a sister for him, so lovely cheeky girl Star who arrived this morning found herself reserved!! At this rate as I mentioned before we will need a turnstile fitted so as they come in they go back out!! Thanks to Liz_Beth for taking Lee out today, he was such a good boy but can be a little unsettled in the kennels, once in a home they become happy, settled, loving hounds. Thanks also to Lynne, Simon and Dave for all their help today, as always very much appreciated. We left tonight with the inmates with full tummies, warm fleecy coats and heaters on. Fingers crossed that Lee and Woody will not have to wait too long for their forever homes, they are both very handsome hounds. Another new arrival is due in tomorrow, watch this space. As always please all stay safe and well. Jo x

Handsome Lee came for a lovely long walk with me today. I was asked to wear him out and I did my very best!! We walked for 2.5 hours and he loved every minute of it. He was quite strong to start with, but calmed down virtually as soon as we left the kennels. He was alert thoughtful walk, but he was fine with all the dogs we met. He was a great walking companion and here's hoping that he doesn't have to wait long for his forever home xx

Ice

Ice had a very muddy walk with Susie this afternoon to Elmdon Park. He met lots of other dogs, adults and children and didn’t see bothered by anything or anyone. He’s a big strong boy and an absolute joy. He will have so many new adventures to look forward to, it’s very exciting ????
