Fabulous deaf Finlay was back on the field this morning, all thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. Thank you. ❤️

He spent most of his freedom doing what makes Finlay happiest. Running around as fast as he can, then stopping for a few minutes in the cool grass before setting off again.

His longline is clipped on as when it's time to go home, in Finlay's opinion, it’s completely unnecessary 🤣

This handsome boy gets the chance to enjoy total freedom at the field, something he simply can't have anywhere else. He's also one of the lucky ones, living life to the fullest in long-term foster with Rochdale Dog Rescue.

To anon, you've given Finlay one of his favourite things in the world. Thank you for making mornings like this possible. 🥰🐾

Earlier this week a Rochdale Dog Rescue volunteer collected Bill from kennels and drove him to the field, thanks to a kind donation from The Dog Cabin, Doggy Day Care 🥰.

He was an excellent traveller, settling quietly in the car without any fuss or barking. He’s still learning and needed a leg up getting into the boot as he wasn’t quite sure what was expected of him.

Bill’s a calm, affectionate greyhound and a real gentle giant. He met new people beautifully and quickly formed a trusting bond with the volunteer.

Once at the field, his playful side really shone. After starting on a long line, he enjoyed the chance to stretch his legs, have a run, explore the longer grass, and enjoy lots of lovely sniffs.

Bill is an absolute delight and would make a wonderful, loyal companion for someone with room in their heart. ❤️

Bill is available for adoption through Rochdale Dog Rescue and is waiting to meet his forever family. Please share far and wide so this lovely boy can find them. 🐾

This morning Molly who is 17 and blind and in long term foster with Rochdale Dog Rescue was on the field bright and early thanks to the generosity of a wonderful charity. My good friends at TEAM RISE Project East Lancashire.

Her fosterer couldn’t have put it better. She told me:

“I love that no two walks are ever the same for Molly at Midge Hall Secure Dog Field. One visit she could be exploring the long grass, the next rolling around in the clover but today was all about this hill.

If she wasn't walking through the tunnel she was sniffing her way to the top then stopping to let the wind blow through her ears and the sun shine on her face. Molly did make time of course, in-between her sniffari, to roll around on her back in the clover in various spots over the field!

Thanks again for the generous field donation for Molly, she's very grateful for your kindness and enjoys hearing all the nice things people say about her when I read the comments back to her 😂”

How lovely is that 🥰🐾

Today a volunteer at Rochdale Dog Rescue took rescue Tex for some well-deserved time away from kennels and onto the field. And all thanks to The Dog Cabin, Doggy Day Care and their generous field donation.

It didn't take long for his gentle, affectionate nature to shine through. After a short time on a long line, Tex had built enough trust to enjoy something he may not have experienced for a very long time. Freedom. 🥰

He stretched those long legs with a joyful sprint or two across the field before coming straight back for cuddles. The rest of his visit was spent happily exploring, sniffing through the long grass and taking everything in, while regularly checking back in with his volunteer.

A huge thank you for his donation, giving Tex the chance to enjoy some freedom, fun and one-to-one time.

Tex is available for adoption through Rochdale Dog Rescue and would love a family of his own. I hope his forever home comes along very soon because this gentle, affectionate boy really deserves it. ❤️🐾

Look who has been back on the field again. Finlay the deaf collie, currently in long-term foster with Rochdale Dog Rescue had his fosterer playing a very competitive game of spot the dog with him 🤣

Being deaf means opportunities like this are very very special for Finlay. He knows sign language brilliantly, but when it's time to leave the field he suddenly decides he's far too busy having fun to pay attention. That's why he wears a long line, so his fosterer can catch him when the adventure is over.

His fosterer told us:

"Spot the dog.

Today was all about the long grass. Finlay loved running, weaving and hiding in the long scented grass. As usual, he flew out of the car and headed straight for the furthest corner. He did stop for a few moments to let the breeze blow across his face while he admired the view.

Thank you for the generous field donation for Finlay."

A huge thank you to our anonymous donor for giving Finlay another appointment allowing him to be free to do something he loves. We think his fosterer deserves full marks for eventually finding him 😆❤️🐾

Tomorrow’s field guests are in for a treat. I’ve filled the paddling pool up tonight 💦 😃

Amongst my other jobs I filled the water container up. I had a bit left once filled. So waste not want not right.

Enjoy 😊

This morning foster boy Mo experienced something entirely new - freedom.

Thanks to a kind anonymous donation, Mo was able to visit the field for the very first time. Straight into rescue from the racetrack with Makants Greyhound Rescue NW, all he has ever known is kennels and the track, so today was a big moment for him.

Taking it all in at his own pace, gently guided by his wonderful fosterer, Mo spent his time quietly trotting, sniffing and exploring this unfamiliar but exciting new world.

I was told he had a fabulous time and it’s obvious this was just the beginning of many new experiences for him.

Mo is currently in foster pending adoption. Thank you again to the generous donor who made this possible. Moments like these matter ❤️🐾

My last post about 17-year-old blind Molly absolutely blew up. Clearly she’s a real favourite.

Naturally, a star of her status had a busy schedule to keep, so first thing this morning, thanks to a kind field appointment donation by Ryan Ferguson and taken in originally by Rochdale Dog Rescue, she was back out on the field doing what she does best… absolutely living her best life.

Her long-term fosterer summed it up far better than I ever could:

“What better way to start the weekend than 55 minutes of rolling around in cool clover, with zero chance of being interrupted by other dogs 😍 Molly had the BEST time at Midge Hall Secure Dog Field, switching between rolling, sniffing, and even a bit of prancing in between. A perfect start to the weekend!”

Safe to say Molly is fully booked, fully pampered, and very much approving of her fabulous life. ❤️ 🐾

I’ve just received the joyous news that Midge Hall Lane will be closed again next week 🤬

I popped down to speak to the foreman earlier. So for anyone coming to the dog field from Leyland direction, you’ll still need to divert around to Wholesome Lane or Gill Lane to access the field from the top of Midge Hall Lane.

So sorry about all the ongoing disruption 😢

Our last appointment of today goes to the gorgeous Rochdale Dog Rescue boy Finlay. And it’s a big thanks to anon for gifting his session 🥰

I know he’s a real favourite with many of you. But why? Maybe it’s because he’s so handsome. Maybe it’s because he’s deaf and has learned sign language thanks to his amazing long-term fosterer. Or maybe it’s simply because Finlay has that special something that makes people fall for him. Whatever the reason, here’s your Finlay fix.

His incredible fosterer told me:

“Finlay opted for a slower pace tonight, thank goodness. It’s been much cooler and the breeze was very welcome.

He’s a young Border Collie with an impressive amount of energy and unfortunately, absolutely no appreciation of danger. Because of this, he can only safely enjoy off-lead adventures at the field.

He’s on the longline after his recent disappearing act when it was time to go home, but that doesn’t stop him investigating every inch of the field during his appointment.”

Keep being your brilliant self Finlay. We all love you so very much. And thanks again anon you’re amazing ❤️🐾
