Please be aware 😢💔🐾

🔶 12/11 - Update Irvine Beach Park 🔶
Thanks to the family of the dog that crossed to Rainbow Bridge for confirming both dogs were not near the pond. They walked at the opposite end from the pond where the horses normally go. One dog was fine, so it may be unrelated to being at the beach park.

We would advise people to be very aware that there is blue/green algae at the pond and people have reported to us that their dogs have become sick around that area. Also be careful with puddles and after a heavy rainfall as there’s reports of this too.

We know there are adders in the sand dunes as one of our volunteers dogs got bitten a couple of weeks ago. We recommend finding out what you should do and where the closest vet is with anti venom can be found (we have a post on the page if you search adders).

We have also been told a dog was very ill for 5 days due to toxicity poisoning from a cigarette butt with drugs in it.

We don’t want people to panic but it’s better to be aware of these cases and stay vigilant.

Thanks again to everyone that has let us know about any of the above.

⚠️‼️ 11/11 -Warning Irvine Beach Park⚠️‼️

Further to our post a couple of days ago about a dog becoming unwell after being walked at Irvine Beachpark

We have just been made aware another dog that has been walked there, took unwell and has just died.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family at this very sad time. 🌈🌈🐾🐾

We cannot say for definite why this has happened but we are making dog owners aware as several people have now reported their dogs becoming ill. We can’t currently confirm if the dog was in water or just around the beach park but will update when we know.

Please exercise caution.

Thanks. Liz

UPDATE : Your response has been overwhelming. Times are hard for everybody so please know how much I appreciate every single penny donated. I can't thank you enough xx

We will close in 3 weeks.

So, this is a post I'd hoped not to make. However, the reality is, along with lots of other rescues in the country, we are against the wall financially.

This picture was taken today, Saturday 11th October 2025. We have enough money to last three weeks.

The cheapest coffee in Costa is £3.70. A cheapest coffee in Greggs is £1.60.

If even a fifth of the 25,000+ donated the price of a Greggs coffee once a month it would generate an income of £8,000.

This means we would survive to continue saving the lives of dogs who need us.

Can you help us please? 🙏🙏🙏

Our bank account details are :-

Paypal (please mark friends or family) is [email protected]

We are praying. Thank you.

⚠️ ✈️ Leave your dog at home this weekend during the times the Air Show is taking place in Ayr ✈️ ⚠️

This weekend there is the fantastic “Air Show” is being held on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th of September at the Low Green in Ayr🥳

As much as we love to see this spectacle, your pets will not love it as much 😬

We recommend:
👉 Don’t take your dog to the show… There will be a lot of extremely loud noises and your dog could get very stressed or spooked!
👉 Keep cats indoors if possible during the show times to avoid them getting scared and hiding!
👉 Make sure small furries like rabbits and guinea pigs who live outdoors are either brought inside, or checked on regularly that they are not scared!
👉 Check on horses regularly throughout the day that they are okay in the field or stable.
👉 Keep the curtains closed to make your pets feel safe, have the TV or radio on for some familiar sound and offer them a treat or chew to try and keep them amused!

If your pet gets extremely stressed with loud noises and you are concerned, call us in advance today or tomorrow and we can try to help 📞☺️
