We would like to say a huge thank you to Fiona at Actadog Academy for swooping to the aid of lovely Luna when we shouted for help to take her in. I'm pleased to say she has failed miserably and Luna is now part of her pack and fits in beautifully with her two boys. Thank you ❤️ we couldn't have got her safe without you 😍

Whilst I'm having a gripe, we are a North East England based rescue.

Yes we accept applications from across the UK. But this is dependent on us having a volunteer to homecheck you in that area. At one time that would not have been a problem, but today it is.

Travel is also a consideration for us to re-home, depending on the dog and how comfortable they are on longer journeys. Especially in this type of weather.

Please don't be upset if we can't further your application because of this.

Thanks 😊

We have had another three dogs meant to come in to foster in the past two weeks that have not come in at the last minute due to change of mind or giving them away to family.
These should be your first options, not a last minute option. We should be your first port of call if you're serious about handing your dog in. We should be your last port of call if you're dithering about.
The amount of organisation and time that goes into sorting out a foster space is unreal. I honestly don't have the time or patience to be wasting my time with people that aren't serious.
If it continues we will be introducing a fee to hold a foster space which will be non refundable if you fail to hand in your dog.
You need to focus your mind on what you actually want and need to do. Foster space in rescue at the moment is like 🦄 💩. You're putting other dogs at risk as well as your own by dithering about.
