“ I am a FOREVER
dog, if you could not
offer me forever, then
I should never have

been your dog”
Meg



There are many reasons for
abandoning a dog but Meg’s
would have to be the saddest.

• “ LIFE INSTEAD OF DEATH ” - A NO-KILL SHELTER


Dear Readers

Our cover girl Meg ( pictured with me ) looks
sad and forlorn. Yet she has a life of love and
hope now. From being a pound dog, unwanted
with no energy and feeling very unwell, she is
now a little girl who dances in circles when she
gets excited. She has to put up with blood
tests (needle pricks in her ears twice daily)
and insulin injections twice daily but that all
revolves around meal times so I don’t think
she minds. Some days we even have to do
glucose curves for the vet which entails blood
tests every 2 hours! Yuk! But it is all about
giving her the best quality of life and diabetic
control.
Our not so little Gretel (Boxer X) pup (p5 and
also pictured below) with the breathing issues
is bouncing around large as life chewing any
stick she can find and playing tug with anyone
willing to play. She has just come back from
the vets after having a tooth root abscess. At
her age you might say? She is always
chewing sticks so a piece must have pierced
her gums and got infected. She is doing well
now and we are waiting final results of her CT

around with other pups and small dogs.
Our dogs of broken promises show the different types of
dogs that are left at pounds with no future – all breeds,
sizes and ages. Just look at the different dogs we have
on show here. Even pure bred gentle dogs, like Ricky the
West Highland, get chucked out. Don’t ever think the
pounds are full of large sized aggressive dog. Nothing is
further from the truth.

Even our Snow who is well loved in her forever home,
started life in the pound as a young pup with all her
siblings. Whilst we found homes for the pups, Snow was
returned 10 years later as a mature lady. She was lucky
to find a caring couple who even built her a Snow mobile
and started Jess on the career path as a dog trainer.
