Big or small, short or tall we love them all

As a teenager I had a Labrador from birth which cemented my love of dogs. Due to work it was impossible for me to have another dog for some time but I always knew it was only a matter of time. 18 years ago I had a Sottish terrier from birth, Molly lived with us for 14 years. She was a typical Scottie, stubborn, inquisitive, loved to help me dig the garden and take up all the space on the sofa. After we lost Molly we did not want to rush into having another. However we became aware of an abandoned Staffie at the RSPCA. She was 17 years old named Lucy and had been returned to the kennels on 2 occasions due medical and socialising issues. We were told she is wary of other dogs, is not very friendly with humans, does not like walking and is incontinent. So obviously we adopted her. She turned out to be amazing. All she needed was love and attention and all the above issues disappeared. We were told she would be with us for 6 months to a year, it was 4 years before she passed. Since we lost Lucy work has become more demanding and we are not able to devote as much time as we would want to looking after dogs. So we have borrowed my sisters Labrador, my cousins Labrador, a friends collie cross and the neighbours Alsation as often as we can. As this fitted in with our workilfe and gives us quality time with dogs. I have recently been made redundant. I have loved caring for all of the different dogs out there, so now want to devote my time caring for other dogs We live in a village with many walks, surrounded by fields but we are also happy to go further afield. We have a local park a few minutes walk away where there are always other dogs to socialise with or if needed plenty of walks where you rarely see anyone

Dora was very happy to go to Nigel's when we dropped her off and she's had fun socialising out with other dogs and getting ball time in the garden.

A typical day

A typical day staying with us is packed with fun from start to finish! We spend lots of time walking, playing, and enjoying plenty of cuddles, tummy rubs, and bum scratches. Your dog gets the chance to socialise with other friendly dogs, helping them stay happy and confident. After all the excitement and adventures, we wind down with cosy cuddle time on the couch, relaxing together and soaking up the calm after a busy, joyful day.
