🐾 BEAN UPDATE, HE’S OFFICIALLY READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME! 🏡❤️

After lots of investigations and testing, we finally have some good news about our gorgeous Bean! 🥹

Although we still don’t have a definitive diagnosis, our vets are confident that Bean is suffering from IBS or IBD.

The amazing news is that Bean is absolutely THRIVING on his current diet! No more explosive diarrhoea, no more bouts of sickness, and he’s gaining a tremendous amount of weight! 🙌🏼❤️

He’s happy, playful, full of mischief and everything you’d expect from a typical English Bull Terrier puppy! 😂

After our previous adoption post, a few lovely followers reached out suggesting some additional tests. We took their advice on board, had further blood tests carried out, and we’re delighted to say EVERYTHING HAS COME BACK CLEAR! 🥳

With our vet’s approval, Bean is now officially ready to find his forever family! 🏡

We’re currently working our way through all the applications we’ve received, so if you’ve already applied, please bear with us while we carefully review everyone.

Thank you to everyone who’s followed Bean’s journey, offered advice and supported our little bulldozer along the way. ❤️

Our gorgeous boy is finally ready for his happy ever after! 🐾💕

Is Bean helping make goodie bags and sort the raffle for the event or is he calling dibs on what he wants to keep for himself? 🙈

We can’t wait to see you all in Coalville on the 21st and Glasgow on the 28th for our Christmas markets ❤️

Sally is on the search for her happily ever after 🏡

Sally is a gorgeous 12 week old puppy with so much love to give! Unfortunately, Sally was abandoned as a pup without her mum, so we’re not entirely sure what breed she is. We do suspect she may grow into a larger breed dog, so this is something prospective adopters will need to take into consideration 🧡

Sally is an affectionate little girl with bundles of energy and a playful personality! She loves being around people and is always ready for some fun. She would thrive in an active home where she can enjoy plenty of adventures and playtime 🌼

Before applying please ensure your home is the right match for this pup. Please only apply if you meet the following criteria:

🐶 happy to be an only dog or live with others
🐱 good with cats
👶🏼 good with children
🩺 medical condition(s) : N/A
💊 ongoing medication : N/A
📍 location : Derby

PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE. 💔

This is probably one of the hardest posts we’ve had to write, but it’s something we feel needs to be said.

Over the last 7/8 weeks, we’ve taken in so many desperately poorly puppies. What you see on our Instagram is only a tiny fraction of what actually goes on behind the scenes.

In fact, around 90% of the puppies we’ve recently taken in haven’t even been shared on our page. Not because we don’t want to share their stories, but because so many have come to us when they were already critically ill. 💔

Our team have been working around the clock. Sleepless nights, weeks of exhaustion, constant worry, tears and heartbreak. We’ve given these babies absolutely EVERYTHING we have, but sadly, for some, the help came too late.

And that’s the part that hurts the most.

We completely understand that breeders want to give their puppies a chance themselves. We understand the attachment, the hope and the desperation to see them improve. And we will NEVER judge anyone for asking for help.

But PLEASE, if you don’t have the knowledge, equipment, time or finances to care for a poorly puppy, reach out and arrange to surrender them sooner rather than later.

If a puppy is deteriorating, please don’t just hope they’ll turn a corner. These tiny babies can decline frighteningly quickly, and every single hour can make a difference.

Please don’t wait until a puppy is dying before asking us to save them. 💔

We are often the very last chance for puppies that have been deemed unlikely to survive. We take on babies that others have given up hope on, knowing full well that despite everything we do, some won’t make it.

But SO many DO ❤️

And those little miracles are the reason we keep going. They’re the reason we sacrifice our sleep, our family time and sometimes our own wellbeing. Because every single puppy deserves a fighting chance.

But we cannot perform miracles when their little bodies have already endured too much.

The sooner they reach experienced hands and receive the veterinary care they need, the better chance we have of helping them survive.

We’re not writing this to blame or shame anyone. We’re writing it because we’re exhausted, we’re heartbroken, and we’ve lost far too many little lives recently that we desperately wish we’d had the opportunity to help sooner.

There’s so much that goes into running a medical puppy rescue that nobody ever sees. The happy endings are wonderful, but behind every one of those happy endings are countless hours of worry, hard work and sometimes unimaginable heartbreak.

So please, from the bottom of our hearts, if you know you cannot give a poorly puppy the care they desperately need, ask for help EARLY.

Don’t wait until there’s nothing left for us to fight for.

Give us the chance to give them their second chance 🐾❤️

Because every little life matters ❤️

We feel we need to address some of the incredibly rude and hurtful comments left on Luna’s rehoming post… 💔

But firstly, let us tell you a little about Luna’s story.

Back in June, we were made aware of a Facebook post advertising Luna for rehoming for just £50.

After seeing the condition she was in, we didn’t hesitate. We paid the £50 simply to get her somewhere safe. Our incredible transport team then made a 3-hour journey to collect her.

And nothing could have prepared us for just how heartbreaking her condition was in person. 💔

Luna had a significant eye ulcer, which despite veterinary treatment has sadly left her with permanent damage. Her skin was absolutely horrific, and we dread to think how long she’d been suffering in that state. To top it all off, she was severely underweight.

Fast-forward to today, and Luna is a completely different dog! ❤️

Her eye ulcer has healed, her skin is now pretty much under control thanks to a carefully managed diet, and she’s gained a tremendous amount of weight.

Our team have spent MONTHS getting Luna healthy, comfortable and happy again.

So, to those leaving vile, unnecessary comments about her appearance, we’d genuinely like to ask you something…

Which Luna would you rather see? The neglected, underweight, suffering dog we collected in June, or the healthy, happy, well-cared-for dog standing before you today?!

Because we know which one we’d choose. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

We will never apologise for giving a dog the love, care and second chance they deserve.

Our team work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to give dogs like Luna a future they might never otherwise have had.

You don’t have to agree with everything we do, but you absolutely do not get to undermine the dedication, time, money and love that has gone into saving this little girl.

If you can’t appreciate that, then quite frankly, you’re welcome to unfollow us.

To everyone who continues to support Luna and our rescue, thank you. ❤️🐾

Luna is living proof of what a little love, a lot of dedication and proper veterinary care can achieve. And we’re incredibly proud of her. ❤️
