We welcomed Chocolate into our home in mid November of 2005. 

Choc is a 12 month old Staffy/Lab and has enormous amounts of energy.  Whilst picking out Choc we had seen another dog “Honey” on the website.  Fortunately, a few weeks later it looked as though Honey had found a home, however, in December reappeared on the website.  She must have been returned. She looked like such an adorable girl and we just had to meet her.  In doing this, we also had to take Choc out to meet her – without his approval she could not make our home hers!

It was love at first site and Honey & Choc played together for over an hour and we decided to take her home.  Hun has been neglected in her youth and it does take her a little while to warm to certain people & environments. 

However, with each day and having her new brother close she is becoming a cheeky, confident but above all amazingly affectionate and loving girl.  Hun & Choc play together all day long (which includes destroying the garden & much in their path), enjoy two walks a day, run of the house and food is high on their list of priorities!  They have both settled in very well & have started much needed obedience training.

We couldn’t have asked for two better dogs. Extended thanks to Jill & Nicky who loved Honey so much that they persisted with her re-homing. We are forever grateful for your efforts.

My name is Courtney, I adopted Sugar last year, and just thought I would let you know how she is going. I have called her Gypsy, as I have another Lab Grady that I got from RSPCA and a cat Grimace who I also got from RSPCA. All my animals start with the letter G. Gypsy has fitted in tremendously. She is now the boss of the 3 of them, typical female hey.

Gypsy and Grady love playing Tug of war with their rope, really they love fighting over just about anything. She loves him, she follows him around the backyard all day. I think that is why she is looking terrific, she has slimmed down a lot. A pity the Big Boy Grady hasn’t slimmed down.

I was told she didn’t like cats much, but she has warmed to Grimace, she likes chasing him occasionally, but most of the time when I greet them in the morning the three of them are sitting at the backdoor together. The 2nd picture is of grady & gypsy at the backdoor. She loves her big brother Grady.

Thanks again for looking after these beautiful dogs & cats, I think your shelter is terrific, letting me bring in Grady to play with Gypsy first to see if they would get along, it’s a great idea.

The staff are very friendly and you can see that they love the animals, I would love to run a dog shelter, only problem is that all the animals would end up at my house. Thanks, Courtney
