Another of our new guests, Maebh which apparently means , "She who intoxicates." A name popular throughout history and modern-day Ireland, I'm sure she will be able to walk into any room knowing she's lighting it up and "intoxicating" us all 😁
Thank you Dawn. Thank you for Jack's "birthday " card - I can't believe we have only had him one year, it honestly feels like he has been with us longer. He is practically perfect in every way and a welcome change from our last two "challenges" (but we loved them, all the same!)
Jim came into our care as he was too excitable around the owners two year old child. Jim is a friendly boy but would obviously be better suited to a home with older children. Full details for all our guests

Thank you Wendy & Andy for the update - Dear all at the Border Collie Trust. We have had Beau now just over 2 months. When we first took her home she was unsure, anxious and showed her teeth if she wasn't sure and felt threatened. Now she is playful, boisterous and full of life
