I  learnt about a breeder in the Midlands that had been served with a Noise Abatement Order and was due in High Court and her dogs had to be gone by a particular date. A desperate lady was giving away her dogs to anyone that wanted one and we all know how dangerous that is, so when informed about this situation , we stepped in and asked her remaining 30 dogs to be signed over to the rescue. We brought home 4 border terriers, 7 whippets and 4 lurchers in our first trip…Leaving behind 1o greyhounds and one lurcher with pups….As always the wonderful world of rescue united and space was secured with the following rescues….Greyhound Gap, Northants Greyhound Rescue, Wonky Pets Rescue, JR Whippet Rescue and Dogs Trust ! A very happy ending for these dogs and it meant that the rescue got an emergency intake of 4 gorgeous lurchers that has now got us bursting at the seams !!!

FINALLY the most AMAZING news….A wonderful couple called Kerry and Lewis Preston who are based locally to me suggested that Lewis’s employers Ocado may be able to donate their purged and damaged dog food to the rescue. Well after a very successful meeting with Ocado, their online Petstore called Fetch (www.fetch.co.uk) are now sponsoring all the dogs with top brand food …In addition to that amazing piece of news, because the rescue gets some surplus as well, it enables me to be able to donate it to pounds that I visit or other rescues to help them…So really and truly the most amazing act of generoisty from Ocado which is benefitting literally hundreds of dogs… Please ensure you visit their website and experience their excellent customer service first hand…..THANK YOU SO MUCH OCADO…..
