Below is our gallery of successful adoptions since May 2013, read their heart warming stories and how the majority have overcome hardships in one form or another to find their forever homes.
HENRI - the 1st adoption from Spain for us. He was found close to death having been dumped on the streets and for a while it was touch and go as to whether he would survive. He was adopted by Theresa and is now having to suffer the extreme temperatures of North East Scotland! His best friend is a 7 year old Sharpei and the pair of them are affectionately referred to as “George and Mildred”!!
FRED -July 2013 not a frenchie we know but a super English bully who had been abandoned in Spain and was severely underweight - we knew we had to help to rehome him. He now spends his days as a local celebrity on the South Coast in his forever home and can often be spotted sporting a life jacket whilst on his regular sailing trips
BEBE - August 2013 again a Spanish rescue and a very clever active boy who had been taught lots of tricks by his previous owner. Bebe is now in a wonderful family home, keeping everyone amused with his antics
FRANK - a UK referral. He is now living life to the max with Mel & Sam. He can quite often be found at weekend enjoying the beaches they visit watching them surfing the waves then its back to the camper van for snuggles in the evening, what a life !
ROCKY - a young dog of around 18 months, Rocky was handed to a local vet in Spain by his ex-owners as they no longer wanted him. A lovely boy with a zest for life (and sleeping !) who was adopted into a loving family home where he is the centre of attention
FRANK -was a UK referral. His owner was not capable to look after frank due to a long term illness. He was placed into foster home with Rachel and her family . Unfortunately Frank has ongoing expensive health issues which makes him unsuitable for re-homing and Rachel is lucky enough to be able to get reduced costs treatment for him through her employment at a vets.
SABRINA - a little Frenchie cross who was abandoned as a young puppy in Spain and was luckily handed into rescue. Sabrina was adopted by a wonderful family with children who fell for her as soon as they saw her picture.
BUBBLES - December 2013 a UK referral, Bubbles came from a home where unfortunately she was being picked on by the other resident dog and hence a sad decision was made to find her a new home. Lucky for Bubbles she has really landed on her paws with her adopter and we are kept regularly updated with lots of pics – mainly of her sleeping!
TILLY - January 2014 a UK rescue, Tilly is thought to be an ex-breeding bitch who was being kept in far from ideal conditions. She now lives with a lovely lady Janis and has 2 other canine friends but as with most ladies, is definitely the boss!
HARRY - February 2014 a Spanish rescue,
Harry suffers with poor eyesight due to a lack of attention from his previous owners – he will eventually go blind. He has been very lucky to have been adopted by a lovely lady Tina who looks after special need adults. She lives in a bungalow so Harry will have time to adapt to his new surroundings without the dangers of stairs before he loses his sight. 
FERGUS - February 2014 Fergus was in foster with Franco (see right) both were abandoned in the shelter in Spain with no history as to why they were dumped. Both boys have had “cherry eye” operations (a common ailment affecting the eyes in bull breeds) He was very underweight when he arrived as most of them are from Spain but has continued to gain weight. He is now enjoying life with Lyndsay & Warren in his forever home.
ROCCO -February 2015 was a UK referral who we assisted in re-homing, he was with us for a short while in foster care and then went to friends of Rocco's previous owners. As of today Saturday 15th February 2014 he is in his forever home with Julie, Paul & family in Surrey.

" on her her advert and it worked she won the heart of Sharon !. She has gone to her forever home in Devon on the edge of the moors and has new doggy playmates for hours of fun.
HANK - MARCH 2014
a UK referral. He was surrendered to us as he had some separation anxiety issues, so he needed to have someone with him full time, he also needed ongoing training around this issue and lead work. John and Marie who have adopted Hank are both dog trainers so were the perfect fit for Hank and we look forward to seeing his continuing progress. 
FRANK - UK referral with very demanding issues outside of the house. He suffers with severe anxiety and has the fight or flight syndrome which with Frank was always the fight/kill it option !! he has spent three months in his foster home working on his issues which have improved but you would always have to be on your guard.

KIRA - August 2013 - is 6 years old , she was used solely for breeding, she had around 6 to 7 litters with the last one resulting in a c section that would have cost her previous owner money.

She now lives with Karen in her forever home who joined the admin team after adopting Kira to help others rescue a needy dog.
LUCKI - was dreadfully abused by his previous owners. Tracey his adopter has worked incredibly hard with him to gain his trust which has taken several months and he is now doing well settling into family life.
MAISIE - a UK referral, again a very similar story to Bubbles. Maisie’s owner felt it best to find her a new home due to issues with her living with another dominant female.

Mel has very kindly agreed to look after him in long term foster and he has his own facebook page so that people can follow his adventures
BRADLEY - a UK referral. He was surrenderd to us as the new babies in the family were allergic to him. He is a delightful dog loves cuddles and the sound of his own voice !

HONEY- UK referral. We had a very pitiful looking French Bulldog x Pug surrendered to us before Easter and she was placed in emergency foster care for an assessment of her issues. I am pleased to report that her foster home cannot bear to be parted from her so have decided to adopt her. This I am pleased to report is our only second "failed foster" placement ! ha ha Honey needs lots of ongoing care to ensure that she starts to put on weight and luckily although she has lost some sight in one eye due to it not being treated 6 months ago the vet feels at the moment that they will leave it alone. I am sure we will see updates on her progress in the near future .

Marcel was surrendered to us due to a marriage breakup and it was felt that with him being left for long periods of time it was not fair along with the issues of his allergies and costs involved. Marcel is lively boy but was being restricted by issues with his pallet so the rescue paid for this procedure along with a contribution by his ex owner. He can now recuperate then get back onto his exercise regime and loss some of the weight he has gained. He has become a great friend to the his adopted family's young son who Marcel follows around all of the time. 
DAVE NOVEMBER 2018 Dave was surrendered as he had fallen out with the other resident dog in the household and despite doing everything they could it just could not be rectified. He has gone off to a new home with Jayne and family where he will be the only dog and centre of attention which is what he craves.
KEO FEBRUARY 2019 He was surrendered to the due to him being overprotective of the family which was resulting in aggressive behaviour to the family and friends who visited the home. Keo has spent three months in his foster home and he has come along way but still does not appreciate people coming into his territory. So we advertised that he needed to live with a single person who did not have frequent visitors, which we thought was a big ask but we were inundated with applications that fitted the criteria. So Keo is off to a life on the coast with Ronnie who works from home so he will have the company he craves but on a one on one basis. 
NERO MARCH 2019
Nero has been with us since September 2017 he came in very overweight and with an issue with other dogs. After an diet and exercise regime it was discovered he had an hernia which was operated on successfully in November BUT a week later at 9.30pm on a Wednesday night his back legs suddenly weren't working, so he was taken straight to the local vets. He was worse during the short distance to the vets who gave us the options of referral to a specialist, stay at the vets with drugs to see what happened which they didn't really recommend or putting him to sleep! We made the decision to go for the referral as he is so young at 2 years old and had been a fighter with the previous operation. So, the fosterer rushed him through the night to the specialists who immediately started to process bloods etc, he had a CT scan the next morning and was operated on that morning as the scan showed two discs had blown. We had the money to pay for the operation which went well but he also has issues with severe arthritis in his back legs for which there is no operation recommended due to all of his other conditions. In March 10th 2018 he went to a long term foster family and having been part of their family for a year they have now deceided to adopt him formally and we will be there to support them as we do with everyone one of rescue dogs for life. . |
