Our work is unpredictable. We left a busy November as you see with the previous post, to turn into what's becoming a hectic December. Multiple requests for assistance have come in this past week, 2 just last night. Without your support, life for many dogs would be a lot, lot tougher, thank you.

When our dogs die the heartbreak is real. Kind words go a long way to making a dreadful time a little less isolating and sad.

A snapshot of how well Lowri is doing post cataract surgery, safe and happy with her family.
As a dog who once had nobody to care, it’s heartwarming seeing her surrounded by love. And, to have had your support to restore her sight is something magical for Lowri, thank you.

Brenda is recovering from a dental, she lost 20 teeth. But once she’s recovered we know she’ll be just fine. It’s never easy when our dogs go through any procedure. We’re thankful Brenda is in a safe, loving home recovering, not the breeding shed she once was where no care was ever given.
