Brian’s Story
We received a call from the dog warden about a gorgeous Frenchie who was in desperate need of a home. We named him Brian, and as soon as he came into our care we realised that he urgently needed to be seen by a vet.
Do you have an XL Bully?
It can sometimes be difficult to ascertain as to whether your dog is an XL Bully. This is because dogs are ‘typed’ by their measurements and look, not by DNA, or the breed the dog was sold or rescued as. XL Bullies are also not a recognised breed of the UK Kennel Club. If you are worried that your dog may be an XL Bully, they must be registered by the end of the 31st January.

Sydney’s Story
Thanks to the generosity of our regular supporters, Sydney received treatment at our vet and he was fostered before finding the perfect home in the country with his forever family who adore him. He now enjoys long walks in the countryside, belly rubs and lots of well deserved fuss.
Junior’s Story
Some of you may remember gorgeous Junior who came to us after being retired from racing. Junior was with us for 140 days before he found a new home, but look at him now! Junior has settled in brilliantly in his new home.
A Coat for Colin
Sweet Colin has been with us for over 80 days at kennels, as we have not yet been able to find him a suitable forever home. He came to us in September, but now the weather is getting colder and everyone is getting ready for Christmas. When buying your Christmas gifts for your loved ones this year, could you buy Colin a winter coat?
Queenie’s Story
You may remember Sunny, previously called Queenie, who arrived with us in February of this year. She was a wonderful dog, but was a big bouncy puppy, and we really struggled to find her a home.
Statement on the ban of XL Bully breed
We believe that the solution is not banning more types. Instead, the government needs to focus on the improvement and enforcement of current breeding and dog control regulations, and on promoting responsible dog ownership and training.
