Jasper
Following on from our post below here is Jasper having fun with Emma.
Emma is not only part of the Kennel team but also one of our Volunteers and so has spent a lot of time getting to know Jasper and gaining his trust.
What a happy, bouncy boy he is when he feels comfortable in your presence.
We just know his special someone is out there, it's just he has yet to meet them.

Jasper (Jasper Cool) arrived from our Harvel branch a few weeks ago. Jasper would really love to be cool but, unfortunately, he isn’t quite there yet. He is very shy and is fearful of traffic and stresses when in a car.

Jasper was much loved by his devoted team of staff and Volunteers but they felt he might fare better in our quieter kennel environment.

Jasper took a while to settle but in recent weeks has become more confident, he is a work in progress but we are so pleased with his progress so far.
We don’t feel any of his issues are insurmountable, we have helped many shy dogs in the past and are confident we will find the right home for him no matter how long it takes.

For now, we will continue to build his confidence by spending a lot of time with him, taking baby steps, in particular around traffic, starting with our own van and cars parked within the safety of the kennel yard allowing him time to listen and observe, never pushing him, letting him approach them at his own pace and rewarding him for doing so.
When the time comes for him to go to his forever home he may be better suited to a quiet home in a quiet location and perhaps with a confident bitch.
You will see from the videos below how well he is doing when being handled by our Volunteer Pete who he had only just met. This level of trust with a stranger would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago.
You will also see how he is alert to what is going on when being walked but he is improving all the time.
If you think you could help Jasper on his journey and offer him a home when the time comes please do get in touch and we can make arrangements for you to meet him a few times and then perhaps foster him with a view to giving him a permanent home.

It is with heavy hearts we must post the terrible news that Echo whose kennel name was Freston has crossed the Rainbow Bridge after being diagnosed with cancer which caused fluid around his heart. What a happy boy with a big heart he was.

Echo only went home in February after his owner Peter with his Lurcher Cassie came to visit kennels. Neither wanted to meet any other dogs, it was love at first sight and they just knew he was the boy for them.

Our Volunteers were so very fond of Echo and this is reflected in some of the lovely comments they have made after learning of his passing. "A beaut of a dog with a wonderful personality" said one. "One of the most affectionate and loving pups I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with" said another. Another summed him up so aptly when he was in kennels when she said "If Freston were human he's that friend who listens, supports and is always there for you with unconditional love"

Our hearts go out to Peter and Cassie and Echo's Uncle John who introduced him to them.

Dearest Echo shine as brightly on your side of the bridge as you did on ours. A piece of you will remain in the hearts of all who loved you. xx

Dilly along with her siblings arrived at kennels as youngsters back in 2020.
Bless them they were not lead trained and were all at 6's and 7's very shy and with no social graces at all.

But with lots of loving care and lead manners taught each went off to loving homes with families who continued to build their confidence and continue with their training.

We have recently received photos of one of the pups, Dilly and we share them below.
As you can see she looks so relaxed and happy bless her 7 year old grey chops. Her family say she took a while to get there but she is a happy confident, sociable and spoiled Greyhound who was so worth the effort
A huge shout out to the families who gave these youngsters a loving home despite them needing that little bit of help.
We cannot thank you enough for believing in them.

On Saturday we attended a pop up event where many items of dog related items were being offered for sale.
Our Volunteer Susan took DJ (Newinn Dee Jay) along to his first event.
His Volunteer Susan had this to say about him.
" DJ was loving and affectionate to everyone he met, he is a leaner and a tail wagger and a pleasure to have by my side.
He took a friendly interest in a couple of smaller dogs, tail wagging and more of a 'what is this' kind of way.
His ears did prick up though when he encountered a very small fluffy dog, however he didn't lunge or try to grab it"

Maybe he thought it looked very much like the Lure (Stuffed Teddy) he used to chase and wondered what it was doing at a dog's clothing event!
He gave an outstanding performance given it was his first outing. We will hopefully be taking him out again very soon where we hope to encounter more small fluffy dogs to help him to understand they are not the Lure!
