6th December

Thanks to Monty and Kassi for their blogs over the last few days.

Well it's easier to get around by car but still cold and pretty treacherous for walking dogs!

Sandy has had a number of off lead runs since my last entry including an hour walk on Friday during which the sun came out! I took  her on her own so I could give her my full attention and she was very good but there were still a couple of moments when she just did not respond to my calls. I guess this whole walking thing is new to her. She adores people and wants to stop and greet everyone we meet, she also loves children and pricks up her ears when she hears them, even though as far as I know, she has never had anything to do with them. It just seems to be innate with Staffords.

Since she has started having regular runs she appears to be much happier in other areas of her life and increasingly behaving more like a dog should.

She is now ready to move on to a home of her own. The ideal home for her would be with someone who has experience of rescue dogs, is at home most of the time and who can devote lots of time to Sandy and give her a regular routine and calm environment.

All our dogs are needing their own homes. Although we look after them as well as we can we cannot give them the indivdual attention they really deserve and the chance to cuddle up with their own special person in the evening.
As I have said before, it has to be the right home, so do let people know about us, spread the word and lets see our dogs lying by the fire of their own home this Christmas.



Still needing homes :- Sapphire, Jade, Riley, Bullseye and Sandy.

We have had six more requests to take dogs in over the weekend. We always notice an increase in people wanting to get rid of their Stafford in the run up to Christmas.

Don't forget we need funds too to keep going. It is costing £40 a week just to feed them as well as vet bills and utility bills.
Without your help we cannot keep helping these dogs.

Sapphire still needs a home of her own.
