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.

Hi Ena, Frank and friends,
Here's an update from tripod Gypsy, hard to believe she's coming up to 14.1/2 now. It's been over a year since her big op, followed by a course of chemo in Jan/Feb... she's just amazing and has coped so well, we all love her to bits! She came on holiday in October, pictured below in the sunshine at Acorn Bank in Cumbria. Now we're into the annual festive dressing-up season... a sprollie moment frisking in the frosty garden wearing her antlers, and then a more sedate pose in front of the Christmas tree with Rosa Munster.
Sending all our best wishes so you, have a happy and healthy New Year.
Kindest regards, Gypsy, Kate, Richard, Alex, Harry and Rosa XX
Kate thank you so much for the update on Gypsy she looks amazing and has come through so much xx

Purdey xx >>
Posted: 30th December 2016

Ena and Frank,
Have a lovely time over Christmas and New Year.
Purdey has recovered since an op a month ago that removed a tooth, a claw and some fatty lumps. She wasn't very pleased with me when she woke up, but soon realised she felt better than she had before it was all done, so well worth the trouble.
She must be at least 11 now, and is gentler and cuddlier than ever. Still tries to protect me more than necessary - but that's her character!
Very best wishes to both of you.
Marjory M

Thank you so very much for the update on Purdey, she still looks amazing. Glad she's feeling better now xx

Morag also brought Joe and Connie for a wee visit. Joe is from here we thought he might have been too much for Connie as she only has three legs, not in the least she keeps up with him and has lost a wee bit weight and is looking so good.Both get on so well together best buddies now. Great to see them xx

Hello Auntie Ena and Uncle Frank.....how is everyone at the kennels doing? well I hope.....
I've been with my mum and dad for about a year now and get spoiled rotten, just like the other three....we get to go on holiday and have a great time....my mum was sad last week because Rosie's big sister wasn't well and it had a sad ending....my mum cuddled Rosie and said we were lucky because Rosie keeps very well even though she can be a grumpy old lady at times...😂..(Rosie not my mum)....The first picture is of us on holiday and the second one is my daft dad doing "the poop" run in the garden..
Mum say Merry Christmas to everyone...🎄🎄🎄
Bye for now
Wee Belle
