Shelly
I’m Homed
Shelly has settled in really well, had a look around the garden when we got home, had a sniff round the house and was really good when we introduced her to our cat. She has enjoyed her walks and is always looking for food, just like they all do! All great so far, she is so sweet, we love her.

Drew
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Drew came along with us today to the Sheldon Walk. He was excited to get out and jumped straight in the car. There were no problems at all between Drew and Murphy along the way, even with Drew moving around looking out of all the windows. He really enjoyed his walk (so much so that when we got back to the kennel he jumped back into the car as if he wanted to go again)and is interested in all the new things that he got to see. He was quite excitable about all the other dogs he saw, especially those that came quite close but he isn't aggressive just excited. He just needs to get out more so these things are normal instead of all new and exciting. All in all we had quite a nice walk this morning, he is a large lad but does not pull on his lead like a large lad. As said in the previous comment please do not be put off by his size, he really is another gentle giant.

Thank you all for the messages it means a lot. Barney was shy and nervous when out meeting people and scared of bikes. In the house he was the boss and did what he liked and was really king of the castle. He gave us so much love and laughter and his crafty little ways of stealing everything that he was not supposed to touch. He slept with me every night till I was a sleep then went downstairs till I woke up. He was one true lovely friend who will be so sadly missed. Run free my boy and thank you.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another chilly day, but a dry one. Thanks to all the lovely volunteers who came in, all dogs had morning and afternoon walks. Thanks to Richard and Shirley for taking Drew to the Sheldon County Park walk, and to Liz_Beth for taking Danny too. Great news, Danny is RESERVED, yay, well done. We had lots of visitors, thanks for the donations of bedding and fish, it was great to see everyone. We also had a viewing, hopefully we will have some feedback on that. Following Ruth's appeal for foster pawrents for over the Christmas period I had lots of calls from lovely people offering to help. Thank you all so very, very much. We will be in touch once we know how many hounds we will have available for fostering. Hopefully, lots of our reserved hounds will be going home this week. Here's hoping for a good week ahead. X

We are absolutely heartbroken. Barney has now passed away. The vets can’t do anything as his injures are worse than expected. Even if he was to have surgery there was a really low chance of survival. Everyone loved him and he will be truly missed. He was a great boy. Thank you for the support. Xx
