I make no apologies, because this is something people need to understand. The dog world has lost its way, and the situation is worsening, not improving. More and more dogs are being abandoned at every stage of life — from puppies to end‑of‑life. Neutering is neglected, essential medical treatment is ignored, and basic training, socialisation, and understanding are all too often dismissed. The list goes on. Far too many people feel entitled. They believe they have an automatic right to own a dog, to breed puppies with little thought for responsible rehoming as long as money changes hands. They believe they have the right to keep a dog regardless of whether their circumstances, accommodation, finances, or breed choice are appropriate. And when it inevitably goes wrong, they abandon, neglect, or give up their dogs — expecting rescues to pick up the pieces. And we do, whenever we possibly can. But the reality is brutal: the costs are overwhelming, suitable homes are increasingly scarce, and the numbers are rising relentlessly. Rescues are closing due to lack of funding, burnout, and ill health. Meanwhile, new “pop‑up rescues” appear with little experience, offering minimal assessment and support. We can rehome the fluffy doodle‑types, the tiny Chihuahuas, the sweet Shih Tzus, and the small spaniels many times over. But our limited kennel spaces — which have been full for months — are occupied by dogs who need time, commitment, and that special kind of adopter willing to take on the real work once they leave kennels. There are always a few extraordinary people who go above and beyond for true rescue dogs, and we will continue to fight for the “no hopers” — the dogs at highest risk simply because they are not easy or popular. Right now, we have several long‑term dogs who desperately need a chance. They have been posted many times, yet suitable offers remain few or nonexistent: SHANE has been in boarding kennels for well over a year. We have covered his food, wormer, flea and tick treatment, and neutering, and the kennels have kindly kept him all this time. But every visit breaks our hearts. With no kennel spaces available, Shane still has no offers. SKYE has been in foster for months. Recently, her fosterers could no longer keep her, and although we received a kind temporary offer, it only lasts until 6th September. After that, she has nowhere to go, and the constant moves are starting to affect her. MOSS and CEDAR, brothers, have lived their entire 2.5 years in kennels. They need a very special home — together or apart — and both deserve a real chance at life beyond kennel walls. WAFFLE and SHADOW, a young Dachshund‑mix brother and sister, were dumped locally by their breeder and have been in kennels ever since. They were only babies, and the lack of normality is taking its toll. Both are initially nervous and need individual homes to help them build confidence. All of these dogs are listed on our website and have been shared on this page multiple times.
