BELLA
November 3 years ago we brought Bella home as a companion to our 15 year old Woody (Jack Russell) who was grieving for his long term companion.
Bella did the trick and helped Woody back to enjoying life. As he became frailer she got him up every morning and watched over him when he was in the garden. We said goodbye to Woody this May. We were worried that she might miss having another dog around but fairly quickly she started to enjoy being the only dog.
We often look in wonder at how far she has changed from the anxious dog three years ago. She still is reluctant to greet strangers coming into the house. A marked contrast to how she greets every dog and owner outside. She continues to learn and we muse how different she would have been if she had lived with a family from the beginning.
We think she would have made a good hearing dog.

DARCY WAS ANNIE

We adopted Darcy in November 2023 after loosing our beloved Bassett Lola to cancer. Dennis our miniature dachshund needed a new partner in crime and Darcy needed another dog to learn new home skills. We brought them together and Darcy was very shy at first but now they are inseparable. It was difficult at first for her to trust us and not to hide away but she soon found her feet. Dennis taught her to play with his toys and not to be afraid of other dogs or people. She was most afraid of men but now she is starting to trust everyone in her new family. The one thing that hasn’t changed is her friendly greeting of showing her belly for some cuddles. We all absolutely adore her and couldn’t imagine life without her. She loves long walks in the park and at the beach with Dennis. Her favourite spot at the moment is in front of the log fire. What a character, she greets us every morning with a happy wagging tail, our little ray of sunshine ??

WILLOW WAS WILLOWMENA

A quick update on Willow (was Willamena) who we adopted in July 2024. It's now four months and Willow has come on in leaps and bounds: she loves her food - duck fillet and rabbit ears are her favourite treats, and she's no longer underweight. She has taken to walking with a harness and lead like a pro, and is a pleasure to walk: her tail is usually now wagging high in the air showing how happy she is. We're still working on her confidence around people which will obviously take time, but she approaches family members looking for affection, and a tickle under her ears.
We're so happy we were chosen to adopt Willow, and think she loves her forever home here with us.
Thank you.
The Edwards family.

MAX WAS BICOFF

We were so lucky to find Biscoff whom my son named Max, and to take him home to join our family in August. He is a very special puppy. He has almost finish puppy school and has progressed really well. He is an extremely bright and quick learner with a very gentle and affectionate character. We are delighted with him, he's going to be a lovely companion for my son as they grow up together!

I wanted to provide you with an update on Fozzie. We adopted him 3 years ago from yourselves as a terrified ex stud dog. After 3 months of training with lots and lots of love and treats,????, he settled well into our home and got used to walking on a lead. He started attending agility classes while we were living in the UK which he came to love and after a wonderful life in the UK we decided to relocate to Australia.
We prepared both Fozzie and our other dog Cara for the journey and made the move this year. After 30 days in quarantine they have both settled well into our new life and have adjusted brilliantly. Please find below photos of Fozzie adjusting one to his new life with us and his new life in Australia. Kind Regards Marie and Fozzie ♥?

I thought you might like an update on our Bichon Frise, Pippa. We adopted her from you in July 2023. When we brought her home, she was a very nervous, anxious girl and was very weary of people. Having not lived in a home before, it took a while for her to get used to living with people. We have seen so much progress over the last 16 months. She loves running around the garden with her sister Mabel the cockerpoo and they love to take it in turns to chase each other. She has a gentle personality and enjoys walks and meeting other dogs. She goes to dog training and has just passed her kennel club bronze award. We are very proud of her achievements and all the mile stones she passes.
