This handsome boy was rescued from the pound just in time, and after a few weeks of settling into kennels, he’s now ready to find his forever home 💛

Dex has such a wonderful nature – playful, interactive, and always up for some rough and tumble! Ideally, he’d love to be your one and only, but he could also share his home with a female dog who matches his energy (and gives him a little sisterly love).

Now all he needs is a bed with his very own name on it

Could you be Dexter’s second chance at forever happiness? 🏡🐾

Get in touch today to find out more about adopting this gorgeous lad!

Michael’s Marathon Warm-Up: 84 Miles at 82

One of our amazing supporters, Michael, is showing us all that age is just a number! 💪 At the young age of 82, he’s taken on the challenge of walking 84 miles along Hadrian’s Wall with his daughter Michelle.

A seasoned marathon runner, Michael swapped running shoes for hiking boots to raise vital funds for our dogs 🐾—helping us cover ever-rising vet costs.

We are in awe of his determination, spirit, and generosity. ❤️

🐾💔 We need your help dear friends… 💔🐾

Remember sweet Paddington Bear, the pup you helped us save from euthanasia? Thanks to your kindness, he was given a chance at life.

This little pupper is still struggling. Despite all the love and care, he can’t put on weight and has painful joint issues. His vet bills are climbing as we search for answers and relief for him.

🐾 And darling Virgil has just undergone a major operation on his tail. Life in kennels is really hard for him—his anxiety led him to chase and bite his tail obsessively, leaving no option but surgery. He’s been through so much, and the costs are climbing.

Every single donation, no matter how small, helps us keep giving these dogs the love, treatment, and second chances they deserve.

🙏 Please, if you can, help us cover their vet bills. Your generosity truly makes the difference between pain and healing, and the hope of a forever home.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts (and paws). 🐾❤️

Oh my, just look at that face — cute as a puppy! How could anyone resist Brodie boy? ❤️🐾
Brodie is a gentle senior soul (around 9–10 years old) who’s been through so much, and the kennel environment is sadly stressing him out. All he wants is the comfort of his very own quiet bed, in a loving home where he can finally relax.

Could you — or someone you know — be Brodie’s forever foster hero?

So Brodie:

needs a calm home with no other pets and no young children
would love a secure garden to potter around in (he’s not keen on walks!)
ideally needs a kind senior person who’s home most of the time
adores everyone he meets and has the sweetest heart.

Brodie doesn’t ask for much — just love, peace, a few treats and someone special to call his own. Could you give him the forever foster home he’s been waiting for?

Please share to help Brodie find his perfect match. We know his new family is out there — we just need help finding them!

Thank you x

❤️🐾

A huge thank you to Only Rescues UK and Ancol Pet Products for this amazing opportunity.
