❤️ An Acres Way Success Story - Cece! ❤️

Here is a story with a happy ending to share a little glimpse of what it is that we do at Acres Way on a daily basis.

Every day, we have stray dogs come through our doors, and very often, not in good condition. Cece was rescued by one of our dog wardens back in July, having been found tied up to a chicken wire fence in our local area. She was severely matted, dirty, and weighed just 3.35kg! Underneath all of that curly coat, she was honestly a bag of bones.

With a lot of TLC, she has transformed into a completely different dog, has gained 2kgs and is now living a completely different life - full of love! Our very own on-site dog groomer, Charlotte, has adopted Cece - being a Poodle fanatic - and has done a wonderful job since taking her on. Charlotte has helped us many a time with our rescue dogs that have ended up here in a terrible state, and we could not be more grateful. If you have any dog grooming needs, her page is Naturally Pawfect Dog Grooming & Spa, she is brilliant with all breeds/nervous dogs, and who knows...you might even be lucky enough to meet Cece when you visit! 😆

👻 Happy Halloween from our Marvellous Mastiffs 👻

Our wonderful big dogs deserve a moment of appreciation 😍 They may be monstruous in size, but they are angelic in nature 🫶🏼 They are now all looking for their individual forever homes. We are only accepting applications for child-free homes, or kids over the age of 16.

Introducing Shyla, our gorgeous female Mastiff Cross (pic 1.) Shyla came in to us in a horrendous state, but has truly blossomed since being in our care. She has tested well with other dogs here at the kennels and is now ready to find a patient forever home to settle in to. She is around 2 years old, so is still full of beans and loves affection, but she can be nervous at first so needs a little bit of time to get to know new people.

Lime (pic 2) is our wonderful 2 year old Cane Corso. He is a big do**us, and if he could talk, he definitely would sound like the voice of the Monster Mash himself 😆 Lime loves playing alongside other dogs, and also with toys, but he is not cat-friendly. He will need a home with no cats or neighbouring cats as he does have a high prey drive. He is a truly lovely boy who has been waiting for his forever home for far too long! Lime is super strong on a lead, but does walk well with his halti and is getting better every day 🫶🏼
•
Marshall (pic 3) is our big, goofy boy. He is 3 years old, but is truly a gentle giant. This big boy has a big heart full of love, and is patiently waiting for his future home. He is rather food motivated so give him a treat, and you’ll have the key to his heart 🦴

If you would be interested in any of our lovely large doggos, please give us a call on 01268 770402. Could you treat them to a new home this Halloween? 🎃

🧡Blanket Appeal🩷🐶

As the colder weather is slowly creeping up on us all, we are kindly reaching out to all of our amazing community to see if anyone has any blankets/throws they wish to donate to the doggies down here at the centre. If you are having a clear out, we would love any blankets you may have to keep our guests and resident dogs even cosier. Currently, we are not in need of any more towels or duvets, as our storage area for these is full up. (Please note, we don't accept pillows/sheets/mattress toppers etc.) 💝

If you would like to send us a blanket, we have updated our Amazon wishlist to incorporate a few, which can be found in the link below:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2AHNOMDXQXZEJ/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1

We are open 7 days a week between the hours of 10am-3pm for donation drop offs ☺️

Murphy & Roy 💙💚

Meet these handsome chaps who are looking for their forever home. Murphy and Roy arrived to us due to no fault of their own and are ideally looking for a home together.
Murphy is a 2 year old Crossbreed, and Roy is a 3 year old Cockapoo.

Roy is a confident and happy lad who gets on well with new people but he is not a huge fan of other dogs beside Murphy. He is fully housetrained, neutered and travels well, however he does like the sound of his own voice at times, and doesn't like to be on his own for very long.

Murphy is a gentle and shy boy who does find the outside world to be a little bit scary so having Roy around does help with his confidence. He is fully housetrained, fine to be left on his own and gets on fine with other dogs. Murphy does suffer with some travel sickness which is easily rectified going forward. Being a cockapoo, Murphy will need regular trips to the groomers for a haircut.

Both boys have lived with children in the past, so they would be suitable to live with children who are 10+.

If you are interested in these boys or would like any more information then please give us a call on 01268770402 as we work on an appointment basis only. A standard rehoming fee and follow up homecheck will apply. 🐾

WISHING LIAM THE BEST OF LUCK!!!

There is still time to donate!!

A dear friend of Acres Way has taken on an ultra challenge to fundraise for us, this weekend. Liam is running 2 marathons in 2 days, in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This challenge is in memory of his beautiful Boxer Luna, whom he lost last year at just 4 years old after a difficult, yet courageous battle with kidney disease.

Luna was a soul who brought so much joy to everyone who met her, and her story reminds us of just how precious dogs are to us, the daily laughs they give us, and how much they really, truly are man's best friend.

Liam has volunteered with us previously, and has seen the work that we do first hand down here at the rescue. His passion for dogs has inspired him to give back to us in the biggest way possible. He has almost reached his original fundraising target in less than a week of having set it up, so now he is striving even bigger...and would love to cover a month's worth of vet bills for us!

If you would like to donate to his fundraiser, you can do so via his JustGiving page, linked below. All donations no matter how big or small are appreciated, and sharing this post to help him reach an even wider audience would make his day! Thank you! ❤️
