Hi Bella has been getting on fantastic! She loves her new home with our two little girls. Bella is extremely cuddly and loves a fussy all the time especially at night time. Bella has now found her night time spot which is in the middle of the bed with her head on the pillow. She’s an absolutely amazing beautiful girl and couldn’t wish for anything better. Thank you all at the shelter you’ve been amazing x Many Thanks, Holly

Hello, I adopted daisy and lilly (now named ruby and pearl ) 8 months ago. They are doing really well and enjoying their lives, and I love having them. Here are some pictures of them.  Caroline.

Hello we adopted Bess from you 13 ish years ago she’s between the ages of 16-18 now. She was nick named hyper by the staff at the shelter. Well this is her enjoying the snow the other day. She still gives the young ones a run for their money! Bess is a patterdale x and she is very special to our family. I’ve sent a bulk load of food over to yourself today I think I’ve checked dates etc on it all but please just double check to make sure I’ve not missed anything. Obviously all food is given to the dogs at your discretion we can’t be held responsible for any reactions etc (not that there would be) my mum has sent some collars and other little bits have been donated by members of the public too. We hope

Hi there, I thought I’d send some pictures of Sky enjoying the snow, he loved it so much, he kept trying to catch snowballs.

Hello, Just wanted to share some photos of how well Mollie is settling in. She has been well walked, is super quick to learn and we’ve only had two accidents so far - we think she’s making great progress and already can’t imagine life without her. She’s a really lovely natured dog and the perfect fit for our family - thank you for letting us adopt her. We are all looking forward to many happy years with her. Kind regards, Jill and Jason Doughty

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all ok and had a good Christmas. Just wanted to send some more photos of Belle, she has so easily and quickly become a very loved member of our little family- she is an absolute delight bless her. I have also included a picture of her Alopecia- which has over recent weeks has made incredible progress (haven’t done anything treatment wise, other than a nice bath now and then J ) We believe it’s because she is settled and happy- on one side it has completely grown back and thick bar one little patch. Her other side is on its way through and thicker fur growing through by the day! So reassuring to see this for her. Just thought we would share this progress. She has been the vets for her check-up- we registered her here with

Hi Fairwinds,  I don’t know if you’ll remember us, but we adopted our Westie, Finn, full name Finbarr (formally Toby) in April 2015 from Fairwinds. He’s been the heartbeat of our little family and spoilt rotten. He’s been in good health and a happy little little chap from day one. Things had been going wonderfully until one evening when I came home (November 2019) to find Finn limping. I thought at first he’s damaged a ligament but within 24 hours he was totally paralysed in his hind legs and unable to walk. I rushed him to the vets and he had an X-ray which showed he’s ruptured two discs in his spine probably from a fall injury. Things looked very gloomy and dire and we were advised to consider putting him down because he was in so much pain. But
