Since it opened in 1999, hundreds of dogs have passed through the kennels doors and have gone on to wonderful new homes and families. On this page you will see some of those lucky dogs in their forever homes, and hear how they've settled in and how they've enriched their new families' lives.

Ricky brought his mum Angela back for a visit today. Some of you may remember Ricky , he was our wee chihuahua with the sore leg. He is doing amazingly well and his folks adore him, but now we need to find him a wee chihuahua pal.xxx

Owen & Chad the Collie. >>
Posted: 17th February 2012

Hi Ena and Frank
What was all that nonsense about me hating children, this is me with Owen, my human nephew and I just love him.
When he comes to visit I just sit and watch him all the time, I cant wait for him to get bigger so that we can play together, dad says one day Owen might run me at agility that would be great!!
Red is running at her first ever agility show on Sunday, we will let you know how she gets on, dad not been able to do much with her due to the weather but hopefully she will enjoy it just as much as I do.
Hope to see you soon
Love from Chad and his friends

Thanks Kate for the update what a lovely photo.Just as well you visited the kennels that day when Chad was here as a puppy, do you remember I brought him through and put him on your knee and said " You and Wilson don't have any young children " that day was the start of this young Border Collie's life. Now he excels at agility is great with children in fact just a star and we love him xx

Patch >>
Posted: 16th February 2012

I had a phone call the other day from this lovely couple looking for another homeless dog, yes they have big hearts.So I gave them a call when Patch came in, said they could see him on the computer in Homeless Hounds, but I never expected it to happen as quickly as this, but then I should have known better !! This is Patch with his new dad and Kyle who is also a Second Chance boy, Kyle is getting on a bit but still able to get around, hidden in the back of the car, well if you could hide him is Storm a Pyrenean Mountain dog also a rescue big lad.All dogs got on really well, so it was off to the vets for Patch and then home.where he will live a very happy life xx

Wee Murphy the Jackadoodle >>
Posted: 16th February 2012

Hi Sue, Thank you so much for the updates, sounds though the wee fella has settled in well xx



Hello Ena - just a quick email to let you know we are all getting on fine and Murphy is settling in
very well. He is certainly quite a character - mostly in a good way!! He has obviously been used
to having a bed as he has taken very well to the bed you gave us and finds it very cosy -not to say
he doesn't take the opportunity of trying to sneak on to the bed or chair, usually very quietly and
unobtrusively. We have discovered he is not a morning dog and quite likes a long lie - just raises
a bleary eye when I get up at about 7. However, once he is up is keen to be on the go. Loves
playing with his toys and will spend hours and hours running after a toy, bringing it back and
dropping it for it to be thrown again - just doesn't know when to give up! Someone has obviously
put a lot of effort in training him. He is very good at sitting, lying down and staying/not
touching (in the house at least), and when out on a walk when we come to a road if you say 'wait'
he will sit down until told to walk on.

I have been off on annual leave this week and so we have been out and about to various places to
see how he is - travels very well in the car - just stays on the back seat (probably helped by the
fact that our car has an armrest between the front seats, which is usually in its upright position,
and this stops him from trying to sneak though too easily). We have left him on his own in the car
for short spells too, and he seems fine and is still on the back seat when we get back. He's been
fine with other dogs we've met when out and people. He's been out in the garden a good few times
too of course, but always supervised - we usually play for a bit and then pretend to be 'busy' to
see what he does on his own and as yet no problems.

Regards

Sue

Murphy >>
Posted: 11th February 2012

This is Murphy a wee lad who chose his family all by himself, he used to
bark at everyone but never ever growled or barked at Jim or Sue and no
one could change his mind no matter how many people offered him a home,
so it was just as well Sue and Jim loved him too. xxx

Posted: 11th February 2012

Hey, it's jen and Grant, just thought we would give you an update on Holly. She is doing great, we have discovered that she is wonderful at opening doors, and she is eating all of her biscuits now that have softened the. Thanks again for giving us a wonderful new addition to our family.

ENA: Jen and Grant, thank you so much! As you know, this dog was previously only out for 48hrs, before she was brought back for growling at the other dog in the house. Now she stays with you, Grant, Ivan and two cats, and is doing brilliantly. Thank you so much xx

Aww how cute are they, they have all settled in so well thanks to yours and Jacks commitment and patience xx
**************
An after tea, after hide chew session - partly tired, partly in the huff because they have had the hide chews removed after the 15 minute session. They think they can keep going without any ill-effects. We don't!

Happy!
