Spaniel fans, we’ve got you covered

Minnie - 9yrs old - Adult only home
Toffee - 5yrs old - Sweet but nervous ex-breeder

In 2018 Clyde was rescued with his mum Bonnie from a local horse mart.

Neither of them were in great condition.

Bonnie found a retirement home and Clyde found a fantastic home who have brought him into work

He still has some quirks but we think it’s safe to say he is looking fantastic

We have had a number of ex-breeders come in to the rescue that need a lot of the basics; neutering, vaccinations and a good groom.

We know times are tough but if anyone can support our work, donations can be made any of these ways

Important update for owners of exempted dogs such as XL Bullies

Important Updates to XL Bully & Section 1 Dog Exemption Rules in England and Wales

Defra has updated its guidance regarding exempted dogs under Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, including XL Bully dogs and Pit Bull Terriers.

The key changes are:

🔹 Third-Party Liability Insurance No Longer Required
From 1 July 2026, owners of exempted Section 1 dogs will no longer be required to maintain third-party public liability insurance as a condition of their Certificate of Exemption.

🔹 New Child Supervision Requirement
From 1 November 2026, it will become a legal requirement that a child under the age of 12 is not left in close contact with an exempted Section 1 dog in a private place (such as a home or garden) without adult supervision.

This new requirement will form part of the conditions attached to a dog's Certificate of Exemption.

What Remains Unclear
Despite these changes, cooper & co: doglaw states there is still no published process for removing a dog from the Index of Exempted Dogs. Defra's guidance continues to state that further information on this issue will be provided "soon".
