🧡🐾 A HUGE THANK YOU FROM JONESTOWN WOODLAND RESCUE! 🐾🧡

Well, what a day! 🌧️ Despite the absolute storm, so many of you came out to support us at our Halloween coffee morning, and we honestly can't thank you enough! ❤️

Thanks to your incredible support, we raised a WHOPPING £148.50! 🎉🐶

Every single penny goes straight back into caring for our rescue dogs, helping us provide the food, shelter, care and love they deserve. 🐾❤️

A massive thank you to Staveley Community Centre for hosting us, and an extra-special thank you to Melody Kate Petersen , Janet Cross, Jennifer, Sarah Frances Barlow Hamlet and Skye for all their amazing help. We genuinely couldn't have done it without you! 🥰

We also have some lovely bits left over from the event that we'll be selling, and we'll be offering raffle tickets too! 🎟️ Keep your eyes peeled for our separate posts with all the details. 👀

We're a small, self-funded rescue, so every donation, purchase, share and bit of support makes a real difference to the dogs who depend on us. ❤️

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for standing by Jonestown Woodland Rescue, even in the storm! 🌧️🐕‍🦺

Much love,
The Jonestown Woodland Rescue family 🖤🐾

Apologies, this is a long but VERY important post.

📢 An Open Letter to the Person (or People) Who Keep Reporting Us to the RSPCA…

We know someone keeps making reports about Jonestown Woodland Rescue, and today we had another visit from the RSPCA.

This particular report was about Webster, with someone apparently telling them that he had broken his leg and had received no veterinary treatment.

Except… we have been regularly posting updates about Webster’s injury, surgery, recovery and ongoing care right here on our page. His journey has hardly been a secret. 🐾

The RSPCA came, they investigated, they looked around, they spoke to us and they checked the dogs.

And once again, they left with no concerns.

In fact, they even checked over Eve, who is currently pregnant, and after seeing the preparations we have made for her and her upcoming delivery, they told us — and I quote:

«“It looks like you've got all the knowledge and gear for her delivery.”»

They then proceeded to say hello to our gang, who apparently thought having visitors was absolutely brilliant 😂🐶

So the RSPCA left with muddy footprints all over them, plenty of dog kisses, and no concerns about the care being provided here.

We have absolutely nothing to hide.

We welcome legitimate concerns and we will always cooperate with anyone whose job it is to ensure the welfare of the animals in our care. If there is ever a genuine concern, we would much rather someone speak to us directly so we can address it.

But repeatedly making reports based on misinformation, when our dogs' lives and medical journeys are openly documented, is not helping anyone.

It wastes RSPCA resources.
It wastes our time.
And most importantly, it causes unnecessary stress and disruption for the dogs in our care.

These dogs have already been through enough. They deserve a calm, safe environment where they can settle and thrive — not repeated interruptions because somebody has decided to make allegations without knowing the full story.

So, whoever you are:

Please stop.

If you genuinely care about the welfare of these dogs, follow the page. Watch the updates. See what actually happens here.

Because yet again, the people who came to investigate have seen the reality for themselves — and they left satisfied with the care being provided.

Our door is always open to genuine scrutiny. What we won't accept is malicious behaviour that achieves nothing except causing unnecessary distress.

🐾 Jonestown Woodland Rescue
Our dogs can't speak for themselves, so we will always speak up for them. ❤️

🐕🚴‍♂️ JONESTOWN WOODLAND RESCUE – 100 MILE CHALLENGE UPDATE! 🐾

Ride 3 is in the books! 🎉

Today didn't quite go to plan… but honestly, that's pretty much life at Jonestown Woodland Rescue! 😂

We had to cut our morning ride short because a delivery of wood arrived — and when you've got a new whelping box to build, the dogs' needs come first! 🐶❤️

Once that was sorted, we jumped back on the bike for an afternoon ride, picking up parcels along the way and exploring a little more of the concrete jungle. 🚴‍♂️

And despite the stop-start day, we still managed:

🚴 Ride 3 – Part 1: 1.31 miles
🚴 Ride 3 – Part 2: 8.02 miles
⛰️ Elevation gained: 651 ft
🔥 Total so far: 20.71 MILES
🎯 79.29 MILES TO GO!

Every single mile is being ridden for one reason — our rescue dogs. 🐾

We're raising money to help us build new kennels at Jonestown Woodland Rescue, giving the dogs in our care more safe, comfortable space while they wait for their forever homes.

We're not a big charity with a huge pot of funding behind us. We're a small, self-funded rescue, and every bit of support genuinely makes a difference.

So if you've been following our challenge, please consider throwing a few pounds into the GoFundMe. ❤️

£2. £5. £10. Whatever you can spare.

And if you can't donate, sharing this post is completely free and could help us reach someone who can. 🙏

20.71 miles down. 79.29 to go.
We're going to keep pedalling until we hit that 100-mile mark! 💪🚴‍♂️🐾

Thank you for cheering us on, donating, sharing and generally putting up with our increasingly ridiculous bike updates. 😂

Every mile = a little more help for the dogs. 🐕❤️🏡

🚨 URGENT / TRANSPORT HELP NEEDED 🚨

​Hey everyone! We are currently getting things ready here at Jonestown Woodland Rescue and urgently need to pick up a sheet of OSB3 board to build a secure whelping box for an expectant mum in our care.

​Is there a kind local supporter with a van or trailer who might be able to help us transport an 8x4 sheet?

​The Details: We just need a hand collecting the board for the whelping box build.

​Costs Covered: We will obviously cover the full cost of the material and sort out fuel/expenses for your time!

​If you have a van or trailer and can spare a little time over the next day or two to help us get this sorted, please drop us a message or comment below. Thank you all so much for your incredible support as always! 🐾🪵

🐕 Jonestown Woodland Rescue – 100-Mile Challenge Update! 🐾

​Another ride in the books for our 100-mile challenge!

​We headed out for an evening session tonight, though tech troubles struck when the phone battery died and stopped the recording about 1.5 miles short. Rules are rules though—if it's not recorded, it doesn't count toward the official tally!

The good news is that Nan and Grandad were actually home this time so we managed to catch them.

​Recorded Distance Today: 4.65 miles with 403 ft of elevation gain

​Challenge Total So Far: 11.38 miles down, 88.62 miles to go!

​Every mile brings us one step closer to building those new rescue kennels. If you'd like to support our fundraiser and help us reach our goal, you can donate here:
https://gofund.me/517d9278c

​Thanks for following along with our progress—we'll keep pushing forward! 🚴‍♂️️🐾🏡

🐕 Jonestown Woodland Rescue – 100-Mile Challenge Update! 🐾

​Day 1 of our 100-mile challenge is officially in the books, and what a way to kick things off!
​We headed out for a fantastic bike ride with one of our trusty companions keeping the pace. Along the way, we even stopped to say hello to some very curious local cows who seemed just as interested in our ride as we were!

​Distance covered today: 6.73 miles
​Elevation gain: 462 ft
​Fun encounters: A few inquisitive cows checking out our wheels!

​We went to see Nan and Grandad yesterday but missed them, but we're keeping spirits high and the pedals turning to help fund our new rescue kennels. Every mile gets us one step closer to our goal!

​Thank you all so much for your continued support. Stay tuned for more updates as we chip away at those 100 miles! 🚴‍♂️🐾🏡

Important Update: Our 100-Mile October Challenge Starts Tomorrow! 🐾

​The big month is finally here! Tomorrow marks day one of our 100-mile run and bike challenge to raise vital funds for our five new rescue kennels. We are so ready to hit the ground running, and we want to share a quick update about our running squad.

​As many of you know, our sweet Nala found her absolute dream family a few weeks ago and headed off to her forever home. While we initially planned for her to join us on this challenge, we always put our dogs first—and we would never hold a dog back from a brilliant home for the sake of a fundraiser!

​Stepping up to take her place as our main athletic partner is Wolfie! Wolfie is our 4-year-old Wolfhound cross and resident guardian dog, and he is more than ready to swap his guard duties for some serious trail miles.

​How You Can Help
​Sponsor Our Miles: Every pound goes directly toward building the new rescue kennels.

​Cheer Us On: Drop some encouragement in the comments for Wolfie as he takes on the challenge!

​Thank you all for your incredible support. Let’s crush these 100 miles!

We are building 5 custom, heavy-duty kennels to give rescue dogs a safe, dry place … Samuel Jones needs your support for Sam & the Rescues 100 mile challenge
