All adult dogs spend a minimum of one month in various stages of rehabilitation. To begin with, in the commercial kennels, it's an initial assessment and getting to know the dog, via the kennel staff and from our own team and volunteer visits. This then highlights any potential problem areas that need to be addressed in our rehabilitation facility.

Once they move to this facility they are worked with on a daily basis, socialised with people, large and small in every day situations. They are encouraged to live and interact with other dogs and assessed with other pets and livestock. Below is Roddy (the Rottweiler) being introduced to Rebel as part of his assessment and socialisation programme, as he is hopefully going to live on a small holding in North Yorkshire.

 

 

Below is Trudy a young bitch, who was picked up as a stray and came to us from a dog pound! She's pictured with Rags who helps us assess dogs suitability to live with small breeds.

 

All dogs are given daily exercise, including walks through a secure 5 acre field, time out of kennel runs in secure paddocks and the chance to excel at agility.

Also whilst there ALL dogs are fed a natural raw diet which we feel is more interesting for them and helps reduce some behaviour issues. It also greatly improves their heath status and drastically reduces Veterinary bills.

Here is one of our rescue dogs. He came to us from a dog pound on death row. He had a number of heath problems including double entropian and malnutrition. (left hand picture.)

 

After being fed a natural raw diet and having a surgical procedure to correct his entropian he has now gone to his new home. What a difference! (right hand picture.)
