STILL LOOKING FOR HOMES 🥺

Sasha and Sally are running out of time.. can you help? These lovely staffie girls (9 & 7 years) have lived together but can be rehomed separately. Preferably looking for a staffie savvy home. Many rescues are full and unable to take them at this time. Due to owner illness he has made the heartbreaking decision to rehome these much loved girls.

SASHA
Sasha is a sweet girl, who despite being a little grey, is full of life and love! She is very friendly and likes a kiss and cuddle. She seems ok with other dogs and has lived with Sally but we are limited in our ability to test this at the kennels. Introduction to a new owners dog could be done here. She is spayed.

SALLY
Sally can be a little nervous at first (non-aggressive) but once she knows and trusts you, her personality comes out and she is a playful, happy girl. She loves her walks and would enjoy a home that could give her plenty of exercise. She is not spayed. Again, we are limited in our ability to test reactivity but this could be done at the kennels with a new owners dog if necessary.

For more info or if you would like to meet Sasha or Sally please ring the kennels on 01704 822779

✨Rehoming needed ✨

Sadly we have another rehoming needed for these lovely long term boarders through no fault of their own. Due to the owner being in hospital for the foreseeable they have made the heart breaking decision to look for new owners. These girls have already been with us for four months so let’s try and help them find a new forever home!

Sasha & Sally are two female Staffies who are 9 & 7 years old. Sasha is spayed but Sally is not. For more information please contact the kennels on 01704 822779

As always likes and shares appreciated ❤️

EDIT: Barney now has a home!! Thank you to everyone who shared 🫶🏼

✨CAN YOU OFFER BARNEY A FOREVER HOME?✨

Lovely Barney has been staying with us for a few months now due to his owners ill health and unfortunately the decision has been made to rehome him through no fault of his own.

Barney is a 13 year old medium sized crossbreed who has been well loved and trained. He is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. He has had a full health check with dental work so is in good shape! He is a very spritely boy for his age and loves his walks. He is still active and would love a home that could offer him walks and stimulation. He has a sweet nature, but due to our license we are unable to mix him with other dogs to check for reactivity. However he doesn’t show aggression when walking past other dogs. Testing with a prospective owners dog/dogs can be done at the kennels. He has not previously lived with children so we would recommend a home without small children.

If you are interested or want more information please contact the kennels on 01704 822779. Likes and shares appreciated ❤️

✨REHOMING NEEDED✨

Can you give this sweet boy a loving home?

Due to no fault of his own, little Taz needs a new home. Sadly his owner has passed away with no next of kin. He is approximately 9 years old, patterdale terrier, with a very sweet nature. He does not show any reactivity to dogs although we are unable to fully test this at the kennels as we don’t mix. Although he is soft and gentle and loves attention and a cuddle, we have no previous history of him and therefore would have to recommend a home without small children. He is an entire male. Any enquires please ring the kennels! 🫶🏼

❗️IMPORTANT POLICY UPDATE❗️

BOARDING XL BULLYS & BULL BREEDS FROM THE 31st of DECEMBER 2023

Due to the new law coming into place on the 31st of December we are legally required to put some restrictions and requirements in place.

If your dog is an XL Bully we will be required to muzzle your dog when taking them outside of the kennel block as our car park, drive and office space is classed as public space. When dropping them off they will need to be muzzled in the courtyard until they are in the kennel block.

From the 31st of January in order to board with us we will require a copy of your Certificate of Exemption if they are classed as an XL Bully. If your dog is a bull type that can be easily confused with an XL Bully, we will need documentation from a vet stating the breed or crossbreed to avoid any confusion. We will not allow you to board if you do not do this.

If your dog has temperament issues, please inform us so we can deal with these appropriately. We can still care for your dog if it has behavioural issues, but we need to keep our staff and your dog safe, so getting your dog in to the correct kennel with appropriate access from day one makes life easier and safer for all.

If your dog is aggressive or nervous and you have not informed us, we are at higher risk of being bitten. We will be legally required to report any serious bites and would not be able to board your dog in the future, so please help us by being honest so we can provide the best care we can for your dog.

We hope you all understand and help us to continue to safely board XL Bully’s and large bull breeds with these new laws. Thank you ❤️
