Rosie and her puppy Jimmie are having a wonderful time in their new home. We’ve had lots of updates from their new family and they have settled down very well. The sofa is theirs already! There is another little dog already in residence and we were a bit worried about whether […]

A big thank you to Maria who has just bought us two bags of dog food from our online shop. It makes such a difference to us when we have help feeding all the strays and the permanent residents. With so many big dogs in at present we desperately […]
When Top Olympic Cyclist Victora Pendletong visited us at the sanctuary we could see how much she loved all animals especially dogs. She has a natural affinity with them and they loved her too. Congratulations on topping the recent survey for the best smile and wishing you all good luck […]
