Sadly because of the pressure on us, we are closing our intake. We will reassess this in mid-late November.

Please do not ask us to take on your surrender dog unless they are a small bombproof dog in which case you will probably have no issues placing them elsewhere.

We have taken on so many seniors, particularly senior pairs, and dogs with health issues that we have just run out of steam and also have to watch our finances.

We have had dogs in kennels for far too long.

If you are interested in foster caring for us, especially medium to large dogs, do contact us as we still have many dogs we are juggling. And of course if you are interested in giving a good home to one of our dogs we would love to hear from you.

All our key volunteers definitely need a chance to take a deep breath and try to catch up. We are ‘compassioned out’, and repeat our continual cry of being overextended, under-resourced, and exploited by many councils and individuals. The extra pressure from a Domestic Animal Amendment that seems to be aimed to heap yet more pressure on us was the final straw.

We are so sorry and feel that we have let you down. But 20 years of this is too, too much.
