This week Tipo, Melano and Ninja are joined by our special needs dogs Buddy, Bento & William. Buddy & William have veterans who are waiting to meet these brave dogs & Bento has a wonderful home waiting for him.

Through our Local Adoption Programme, we are rehoming some of our suitable shelter dogs into local Afghan families who welcome them as cherished companions rather than guard dogs. We've seen that this also helps to foster positive, compassionate attitudes towards dogs and cats across the wider community.

When Colin sadly passed away, his wife Tracy wanted a special way for his family and friends to honour his memory. Together, through donations given at his service, from those unable to attend, and then with his wife Tracy rounding up the total, Colin’s friends and family raised an incredible £1,500 to build this quiet cat sanctuary at our hospital.
