WHERE HAVE ALL THE ADOPTERS GONE?
Every week I email or post out at least three or four adoption packages, however recently none have been returned?
If you have contacted me recently about adoption and have either never received the paperwork or have changed your mind, PLEASE contact me and let me know. We have several dogs desperate for good homes and because of the way we work, we never place all dogs up for adoption onto the front of the website. We do our best to match the right dog to the right home and feel that by placing all dogs up for re-homing onto our front page, we may not always find that perfect match.
A sample of dogs gives adopters some idea of the dogs we do have, but by no means all of them, so PLEASE DO return your form if you want to give one of these fabulous dogs a loving home.
Please, please be sure when you apply to rescue a dog you are either in a stable relationship or you have discussed what would happen to the animal should you break up. It really isn't fair to abandon an animal because your own life is experiencing difficulties. A dog is your companion and friend and when you adopt it is for life. You wouldn't adopt a child and then want to give it back, would you?
This is Poppy&Sid...
Poppy and Sid are two lovely shar pei 's who can not be separated. They have been together since pups and are as close as a married couple. They are used to a large garden and plenty of space. I am awaiting full details of this pair, but both are affectionate and cuddly and I will not part them
This is Bear...
Bear Really should have gone to his new home by now, but sadly things have conspired against him and it with great regret that he goes back on our home page. He's a really lovely boy, who deserves a consistent and loving home.
This is Snoop & Zorro...
Snoop and Zorro Are another pair who need to go to a loving home together. Snoop is 5 and Zorro is 20 months and adores his older sister. Both good with children, travel well and can be left a full working day.
This is Buddha & Nico...
Bhudda and Nico really do not deserve to be back on this page but the family they were homed with have had some tragedy and can no longer look after them. They deserve better than this, PLEASE do not enquire about any dog unless you can offer them a secure, loving home for the rest of their lives.

PLEASE remember, we cannot return calls to mobiles !

Most rescue dogs have problems of some sort...
Is YOUR heart big and patient enough to take one of these dogs on ?
===============================================
THINK BEFORE YOU BUY...
In recent months more and more dogs are coming in to us with varying hereditary problems. ALL of these dogs come with Kennel club registrations and none would be accepted back by the breeder.
The average price paid for these dogs was £1000.00.
It is important that the buyer realise that having a kennel club registration is no guarantee of the health or temperament of a dog.
The Kennel Club is a business. It is NOT a welfare organisation. Breeders are NOT checked. NO BODY visits to see what conditions the dogs are kept in. ANYBODY can register a litter with the Kennel Club if they are prepared to pay to do so. The Kennel Club have no powers to prevent irresponsible breeding. Registration only means that you can show your dog in the show ring; it is NOT a guarantee as to the well being of a pup.
The recent case in the media of over 200 starving, dehydrated Yorkshire Terriers kept in a windowless shed in the most appalling conditions, only found when the 'breeder' died, is testament to this, as was a similar situation with a Labrador breeder last year.
Both Breeders were KC registered!
If you want to buy a puppy, there are certain things you should ask and see before you even consider parting with your cash.
Ask to see BOTH parents. If a dog was brought in for stud ask for the name of the stud dog and make contact with the owner. If the dog shows aggression to you, do NOT buy the pup.
Ask to see the full litter with its mum. Check that the bitch is looking healthy and is comfortable with you visiting her young and that the litter looks healthy.
You have the right to choose your puppy. Make sure the pup you choose is bright, sociable, interested in its surroundings and playful.
Do not take a pup that has mucky eyes, a snotty nose or is listless.
Ask about hereditary conditions such as Amyloidosis, Shar Pei fever, swollen hock syndrome and Demodectic mange. If necessary get the breeder to put in writing that, to the best of their knowledge that neither the Dam nor the Sire carries any of these conditions.
Ask if, in the event of a serious health or temperament problem, they will take the puppy back?
Ask if you can contact owners of puppies previously bred by the breeder, to attest to the temperaments and health of the dogs that have been bred.
Take your new puppy to your vet within the first few days and have it checked.
By following these simple steps, you will help to reduce the number of dogs that are given up to rescues
A good breeder will vet you thoroughly; you have the right to do the same.
We are hearing more and more often of dogs being stolen. It is a cruel and heartbreaking trend.
To help protect your dog, get it microchipped and Neutered.
A neutered animal CAN NOT be stolen for puppy farming and helps protect your pet.
If you ALWAYS have a collar on your dogs with a tag stating that they are neutered, they are less likely to be stolen.

Please do not ask us to return calls to a mobile.
We rely solely on donation and can not afford huge telephone bills.

=======================================
Our Organisation asks for a ten pound registration fee before people go on the
list to adopt a dog.
WHY?
Well, a lot of our dogs
come to us with various health problems and many need operations. It would be
unfair of us to knowingly allow someone to adopt a dog, aware that it should
undergo surgery.
The registration fee means there is always
some money available.
The other monies we rely upon is Donation, but sadly we have discovered that some people, once receiving a rescue dog from us, just don't
want to cough up!
It is very strange that these same people, when
asked why a donation isn't forthcoming, nearly always become abusive and
nasty???
They don't care that without the donations, we
would eventually be unable to rescue any more dogs.
It's a case of 'I've got my dog, who cares about
the rest?'
WELL
WE DO
!
Please, when you apply to adopt you must not only
take into consideration the yearly jabs, dog food, insurance etc; but also that
you WILL be expected to give a reasonable donation.
Most other 'rescue' organisations CHARGE
you for an animal.
We
Don't..So don't let us down...Please.
Please contact Roma if you can help. See our "Please Help" section for
details and forms.
=========================================
How can you help?
Well there are several ways. You can help by letting us know when a dog is in need. You can help us transport animals. You can help us raise funds. You can help us by giving your time and expertise about the breed.
There are so many ways you can help and we too can help you. We will find good loving homes, We will take responsibility for veterinary care for fostered dogs, (where funds are available) We will make the phone calls, co-ordinate the rescue, find understanding foster homes for behavioural problems so they can be re-trained and we will make sure these wonderful sensitive dogs get homed with people who will love them for the rest of their lives.
We have no committees. No axes to grind. No politics.
We just CARE.
Please feel free to contact us with any enquiries. We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in helping us.
