Staffie Smiles Rescue - September Update

Picture
We attended Paws at the Palace in September - its always a staple in our diary!

It was such a great day, the sun was shining and we meet so many lovely people who were interested in the rescue and all the doggies (the best part!).

We also loved seeing some of our adopted dogs, its always great to see them! We raised just under £300 for the rescue, so these events really do help!

Thank you for coming and we will see you next year 
💗​

Sponsor King 💗

Meet King – a very special boy who has been waiting far too long for his forever home. Despite our regular appeals for a foster or adoptive family, King hasn’t yet found the right match.

In the meantime, you can help by becoming one of King’s sponsors. 🌟

💙 What Your Sponsorship Provides:
  • His kennel fees and safe place to stay
  • Food and natural treats
  • Veterinary care
  • Weekly behaviourist training to help him thrive
  • Secure field sessions where he can play and just be a dog
​
🐶 How to Sponsor:
Just £10 a month goes directly towards King’s care until that perfect forever home comes along (we know it’s out there 💕).
With your support, we can keep giving King the best life possible while he waits for his happily ever after.

Stella didn't find herself in kennels to long and we were able to place her in a foster home, Stella's foster home fell in love with her and have adopted Stella - we couldn't be happier for her. 

Stella has settled in well to her new home with her fur brother Charlie, Charlie has been showing Stella all the best walks to the beaches and the forest. Stella was in need of some TLC and she looks amazing, she's put on some needed weight and is loving the garden! Stella is also the queen of naps and is always found having a good snooze.

They raised a huge £671 for the rescue, we can't thank you enough!

Sponsor a secure field 💗

Sponsor a Day Out at a Secure Field - £12 🐾

Our rescue dogs in kennels and foster absolutely love their days out at secure fields! 💚 It gives them the chance to run, play, and truly relax in a safe space — something many of them have never experienced before.

We book several sessions each week, but as a small charity, these costs quickly add up. That’s where you can help. 🌟 Can you sponsor the cost of a secure field session for our dogs?

Your donation will give them freedom, joy, and a break from kennel life — a priceless gift for a rescue dog.
