Coco has been adopted 💗
Sasha found her forever family in December, Sasha's foster family adopted her, it was just meant to be - Sasha just slotted into the family.
Sasha had been held in kennels for a period of time, through no fault of her own and we were able to help. Sasha is such a sweetheart, she is such a loving and happy girl, who has settled in so well - better than we could have ever imagined. We can't wait to watch your journey Sasha.

A huge thanks to Danielle, Floyd, Sharon & Shirley who attended Pets at Home - Wishaw over the Christmas period.
We raised just over £300 and the tombola was very popular, it was great to meet so many people and the dogs of course.
Adoptee Floyd was definatly star of the show, he also managed to get Mum to get him a few new toys for being so well behaved!

Sasha has been adopted 💗
The best news we got in December 2025, was that Lucy's foster mum and dad were adopting her! We couldn't have been happier, its the best home we could have asked for Lucy, she is so happy with her mum and dad.
Lucy's foster mum offered Lucy a kennel break a few months ago, they have put so much time and love into Lucy, alongside training! Lucy has came so far and has the best life - she loves trips to the beach and secure field, sunbathing in the garden and lots of snuggles.

Have you every thought about fostering for us?

🐾 WE NEED FOSTERERS! 🐾
We always need foster homes — every single day we are asked to help Staffies in the pound or dogs needing to be surrendered by their owners. Right now, we are in desperate need of foster homes so we can say yes to the dogs who need us most. ❤️ ✨ Fostering is completely free — we cover all costs, including food, vet care, equipment and anything else the dog may need. All we ask is that you are patient, understanding, and able to give a dog time to decompress in a safe and loving home. You’ll never be alone — we are always on hand to support you, whether you want to short-term foster or offer a long-term, gentle retirement home to one of our oldies. |
