Posted in Blog

When it comes to pet health, there are plenty of facts that get bandied around about our four-legged friends. However, sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish which pieces of information are true and which are myths. Luckily for us, vet Dr Kirsten Hailstone is weighing in with her advice on which pet health ‘facts’ [...]

Milo – 2 year old male Cross-Breed

Milo is a 2 year old male Cross-Breed. Our Shelter (Happys) is miles from anywhere, with a very busy main road out front and yet this big beautiful boy sauntered up the long drive way and announced his arrival. Heaven knows what Milo was thinking or why he decided to turn up Happys drive way – we are just so happy he did and he’s one very lucky boy to have survived the road. Milo is large size approximately 40 kgs, he’s incredibly sweet and gentle and so affectionate. He has already won the hearts of everyone at Happys. He’s

Stefan – 2 year old male Cross-Breed

Stefan is a two year old male Cross-Breed. He is medium sized and was found on the streets of Romania and when his owner was contacted to collect him they declined. Their loss will be some lucky family’s gain because he is an absolute delight! Stefan walks beautifully on a lead, adores children and other dogs and just is a bit of a saint really. Stefan will need an active home as he may have a bit of husky in him so will need a decent amount of exercise, a potter round the block isn’t going to cut it! Stefan

Muskat – 5 year old female Cross-Breed

Muskat is a 5 year old female Cross-Breed. She is a small Cross-Breed (though looks very like the critter at the beginning of the Ice age movies carrying the acorn). Muskat has a typical story of a Romanian stray. Caught by dog catchers and thrown into a public shelter to live cowering in the back of a pen because the environment is so terrifyingly unsafe. They exist like this for months and years and if we hadn’t visited this shelter in March and made sure we photographed each and every dog maybe she would never have been seen at all.

Jackson – 4 year old male Shar-Pei

Jackson is a stunning 4 year old male Shar-Pei. He was adopted from us three months ago but sadly his owner has decided he can’t offer him the life he deserves as he is not confident walking him. Jackson was very undersocialised when he came to us and he can therefore be reactive when he sees other dogs. It’s noticeably much worse if the person on the end of Jackson’s lead is anxious (as we’d expect) and when I’ve walked him he’s soon listened to direction and moved on but with an anxious or unconfident Walker this doesn’t happen. He’s

Linda – 1 year old female Beagle cross Hound

Linda is a 1 year old female Beagle cross Hound. She is a stunning looking girl, just a big bundle of puppy love. She is very friendly, a little shy still and excited for the first five minutes on a lead but then walks nicely. She is very gentle natured and good with dogs. She can be homed on her own or with her friend Denny. She is not cat or child tested so wont home with either. She is fostered in Lincolnshire.

"The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog."
