SPARKLE UPDATE 🥳

"Just to let you know that Sparkle has settled down really well.
The first day was spent entirely under the stairs( and exploring at night when we’d gone to bed) but on Day 2 he unexpectedly came out during the day to say hello. He seems very relaxed! He’s eating well and using his litter box
He loves having head rubs and rolling around on the carpet 😊"

We all adored Sparkle, and are so beyond pleased for this special boy💞

❄️🐾 Help us make winter a little warmer! ❤️

As the temperatures drop, we’re getting ready to keep all our animals as comfortable and cosy as possible! While our blocks are heated, we all know there’s nothing better than snuggling up in a nice, warm blanket. 🥹🧣

From tins of food to cosy blankets and other everyday essentials, we would be so grateful for any donations to help us care for the animals waiting for their forever homes. 🐶🐱🐰

Every little bit makes a difference, and we couldn’t do it without your support! 💕

Thank you for helping us keep our Danaher animals happy, healthy and cosy this winter. ❤️

LIZZIE & AMOS UPDATE 🥳

"Amos and Lizzie have been with us now for nearly 7 weeks and have settled in nicely.
Both their characters have come out no end.

Lizzie is just the sweetest ball of fluff ever. She loves her morning and night time cuddles in bed with us. Her favourite thing to do is lay on our chests and make biscuits on our shoulder whilst sucking whatever we're wearing!
She plays zoomies round the house when she's excited, and bounces over anything in her way (including Amos) like a little lamb.
Over the past week we have also discovered she loves to play fetch with her pom poms... we throw, she runs after them, brings them back and drops them at our feet! Adorable!

Amos, well what a difference. He is the king of the house. He struts around looking for a place to flop on the floor and just lays there... doesn't matter if that's in a door way, in the middle of the room, or infront of the fire, that's where he's gonna lay, and he lays in the funniest positions. His favourite toy is a cat nip banana that he carries round..... he now has 3 and we find them all over the house. He also loves his tickles, belly rubs, and a cuddle with my husband. He rests his head on his shoulder and purrs like a tractor. Totally adorable too.

All in all, we think they like us and their new home!
We are thrilled they are here, and that we have given them their forever home.
Thank you all at Danaher for trusting us with these precious fur babies xx"

We are so happy for these two, their bond is so precious! They look so content and happy in their forever home🥰

Meet Nelly – Our beautiful girl looking for her happy ever after! ❤️

Nelly’s story hasn’t been an easy one. She was found tied up with nothing but a paddling pool for shelter after she was no longer needed for breeding. Now, we’re determined to help her find the loving home and happy future she deserves. 🏡

Nelly is a sociable, affectionate girl with bundles of energy! She loves zooming around with her favourite toys and spending time outdoors, so a home with a secure garden would be ideal for her.

She can occasionally become overexcited and mouthy, but this can easily be redirected onto a toy. With this in mind, we’re looking for a home with children aged 16 and over.

Understandably, Nelly can still be spooked by certain things, particularly indoors. We’ve been working hard to build her confidence in our indoor bedsit, and she’ll need patient, understanding adopters who can help her feel safe and give her time to settle into her new surroundings.

Nelly is also friendly with other dogs and could potentially live with a well-matched male who can keep up with her energetic play style. As a Mastiff cross Lurcher, she loves to run and play, so a similar energy level would be ideal! 🐾

Nelly deserves a fresh start with a family who will show her just how wonderful life can be. ❤️

Could you give Nelly the happy ending she deserves? Please complete and submit an interest form below, and if you’re a suitable match, our team will be in touch!
