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.

Bandit >> |
Posted: 5th February 2009
Dear Ena and Mhairi,
Just a quick hello to tell you how young Bandit is getting on. He has settled in wonderfully and plays with all our children and Kippy as well! He loves going long walks and chasing his ball...we couldn't have wished for a more wonderful dog!
Today we went to Beecraigs Country Park in the snow to sledge and he had a great time.
Here are some pics of him enjoying Loch Lomond with us. Also one pic of them beside Radar's grave.
Did you manage to sort out the "gift aid"?
Kind Regards,
Simon and Susie

Steinbeck >> |
Posted: 5th February 2009
Hi Ena,
Nice to hear from you!
Steinbeck is doing great. He's settled in nicely and hasn't shown any bad behaviour around the house, other than a miniscule amount of wall chewing. He gets off the lead loads now and he couldn't be more friendly with other dogs (in fact he loves them) and he always comes back - eventually :o). He's still a bit lively on the lead but he's getting better all of the time.
He really is a lot of fun to have and to be with Ena and I'm starting a blog about daily life with him soon called Travels with Steinbeck (a parody on John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley), just so the world can share in life with such a great dog too.
Meantime there's a recent photo attached and if you want to see any more of him then there's a bunch on my Flickr account.
Speak soon
Warmest
Robert & Michelle

Look who came to visit today Patch and his folks, it will be 12 years tomorrow since they adopted Patch ( way before the kennels were up and running. He is looking absolutely great and is a much loved dog, it is so nice to see the older dogs come back for a visit. I just love it, knowing they have had such a wonderful life makes what we are doing so worthwhile.

Hi Guys oh Coco looks so well settled and happy thank you.
Just a quick note to say that Coco has settled in brilliantly. He is so much fun and very well behaved. His best pal Bradley and him are in seperable and are both enjoying each others company.
We all thank you so much for helping Coco find us. He really seems happy.
Attached a couple of pictures.

Charlie >> |
Posted: 23rd January 2009
Hi Ena,
Just thought I would give you a wee update on Charlie. There is some not so good news I am afraid, as you know he has been with us for 4 happy years. He has a great life I think, he absolutely loves everbody, he comes to the stables with me and loves the ponies and other farm dogs. However, he has developed an intermittent limp, my friend noticed it in October (she has had dogs and horses for 30 years), it doesn't appear to bother him , however he had an upset tummy on xmas eve so we took him into the vet and I mentioned this occasional limp, he could find nothing but I was convinced it was his left elbow, through my energy therapy, has picked this up, and I had been treating him now and then, so we arranged for x rays yesterday and they come back that he has severe arthritis in both elbows!! Needless to say we are very upset, they think it is probably hereditary in his case,so today he is on for a double arthroscopy on both elbows to remove any bone fragments and make him more comfortable, the future will be resricted exercise for a while, anti inflammatories and pain killers but at least he will be more comfortable, I swear ena to watch him most days you would never know he had a problem, he is such a gentle soul. So I will let you know how he goes today, you can be assured he will get the best of pampering and attention as always.
I have attached a couple of photos from the summer when we had a day at the beach.
lots of love and happy tenth anniversary
The Stears family

Sky >> |
Posted: 20th January 2009
This is Sky getting ready to go home with mum gran ( who has a second chance doggie Jack JR) and of course her brother Sam.She is goping to have such a lovely time in her new home loads of ground to run around.
Hiya,
Well I have been so busy since I left you. I have met a gorgoeus wee boy - Calum, my Dad - no comment, next door neighbours - Jack, Gemma & Honey. We all go for walks together & have fun. They are all kind to me. I tell you one thing though - I am exhausted. Yesterday, I also met some giants. My new mum says they are only horses but I have never seen anything as big in my whole life. Over night they have shrunk and don't look as scarey!
My new mum says that my old mum did a great job in bringing me up and it has made my move so much easier. Please tell her not to worry about me I am doing fine. I hope she is keeping better now.
My new mum who we will just call mum from now on is useless with computers. she has a lovely photo of me in bed next to Sam and she can't let you see it. Please e:mail me back so she can sent it normally.
Sam is coming round and I think we will be good friends soon.
Must go I need a sleep before we see how big those giants are now.
Love Skye
xx
How nice so pleased she has settled in so well.

Daisy >> |
Posted: 20th January 2009
Hi Ena and Frank,
Wendy Larman here, wanted to give you an update on Daisy. It has been a fun packed six months since we got her. She had her first 'season' in October which lasted three weeks so we had to vary her walks. She then had a phantom pregnancy and mothered all her toys. She didn't even want to play which is not like her. She is now over that and we have just celebrated her first birthday so she's a big girl now and onto adult tins. Planning to her 'dressed' in the new year. Our nextdoor neighbours have just got a new puppy called Rex,a wee boyfriend for Daisy, think they will be good company for each other. We had a lovely Christmas, it was made even nicer this year with Daisy to spoil. Both our families dote on her too and they all spoiled her rotten with treats and toys. Please find attached some Christmas morning photos. We hope all are well at Second Chance Kennels, all the best for 2009
Love Wendy, Gary and Daisy Larman xx
