The sands of time are running down for stray and neglected dogs in council pounds. Help us to get them on the road to recovery and into the forever home that they deserve.

Just returned from holiday with a Fistful of Dollars, or Euro or Yen? If you don't think it's worth waiting in line at the bank to change them back then there's always somebody willing to take them off your hands.
-
Saving dogs from the council pound and nursing them back to health and a sense of normality is just the first step. We have only so much space and a seemingly endless stream of new dogs in need of our help. Could you be the final link in the chain that offers one of our dogs the loving home that they deserve?
-
If you are unable to assist financially and not currently able to offer a home to one of our dogs there are still a number of different ways in which you can lend a hand.

📣CAN YOU GIVE BEAUTIFUL BELLA THE LOVE SHE CRAVES?
Life has not been kind to this gorgeous girl who has been used for breeding and abandoned to the pound where she was the only one not to get a rescue offer in time to stop her being put to sleep so we were her 'Last Chance to Live'.
It is very unusual for us to get an easy dog but
📣Bella is the loveliest kindest most wonderful cuddle bunny in the world. 📣She is an 8 year old Old Tyme Bulldog and she will make your home a better place.
📣She is still a bit strong on the lead but she loves her treats and she so wants to please that continuing our training should not be any problem.
💔Through no fault of her own she has been badly let down by two homes we thought we had secured so please can you be the home that doesn't let her down for the rest of her life. She will return your love a million fold❤️
If you feel you have a Bella shaped hole in your heart please kindly fill in this form so you can make Bella the happiest girl in the world

DUE TO YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT WE HAVE RAISED ENOUGH FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO SAVE THIS GORGEOUS YOUNG GIRL . WE ARE JUST WAITING ON THE EMERGENCY BOARDING KENNELS AND SORTING TRANSPORT. BEAUTY SAYS THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF HER HEART FOR YOUR LOVE AND BEING THERE AT HER HOUR OF GREATEST NEED. TOGETHER WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEXXXXXX
****BEYOND URGENT APPEAL CODE RED TO SAVE BEAUTY'S YOUNG LIFE********
Beauty who is only 2 years old was brought into the vets today to be put to sleep. The vets rang us whilst she was on the table begging us to save her life but we definitely cannot do this without your help.
Beauty is very close to a season and full of hormones. She is usually dog friendly but there was a joint incident with the other family dogs. Another dog has been put to sleep and a third given away.
She is very frightened, stressed and disorientated at the moment. Our kennels are closed because of the loss of pound dog Phoebe from parvo so Beauty would need to go into emergency boarding. There is an excellent retraining emergency boarding who also will try to rehome but the cost is £15 per night and we have no idea at the moment when we will be open again so we need to raise 3 months for Beauty which is £1,350.
With no room at our inn so unless we can raise this we will have to say no as we do not have the reserves to cover this and keep all our other dogs safe.
The vets are holding her pending our decision and they cannot hold her for long so please if you want us to save her we need to raise the funds very quickly. Her life literally depends on if we can raise her life saving pot so please help us to save her

BEAUTIFUL BEAR applications are still open for this beautiful boy ❤️
We have amazingly been blessed with another easy dog to rehome. All Bear needed was a helping hand in his hour of greatest need (see second pic), veterinary treatment and to regain his condition and energy. So here he is ready to be the most wonderful family member you could ever wish for.
📣Bear is 5 years old and good with people and dogs💙.
📣He loves his walks, playing, rolling on his back, his dinners and his treats - in fact he loves everything and everyone.
We would like to say a very special thank you to the lovely police officer who took Bear under his wing, paid for veterinary treatment and has come and visited him at the kennels. He will be sharing his posts and trying to find him the perfect home too.
📣If you feel you have a Bear shaped hole in your heart please kindly fill in this form so you can make Bear's world complete and his staffy smile even widerxxxxxx
