Not sure if Martha qualifies as a foster dog or not really...... but she's so wonderful everyone deserves to know all about her!
On Wednesday afternoon, a neighbour came to my door saying there was a 2 year old bitch due to be put down at 6pm as she had a broken toe, and did I know anyone that might be abl...

Skipper - still anxious - and no wonder
(Preview)
Skipper is still anxious around strangers, and I've wondered why he is taking so long to relax with people he doesn't know, but just recently I realised that he has almost certainly been burned with cigarettes!!!
He has many scars, but becau...

Just wanted to show you all some pics of my first foster dog Dan.
He met my 2 a couple of weeks ago and got on well with them and Jasper. He arrived last night and has settled well. There's the odd quiet whine but nothing compared to Vernon when he came. Just getting used to walking 3 dogs at once which will t...

Or maybe it's Sonny since he's male!
Anywho, I'm 3 and half days into my first fostering experience.
I dropped Sunny off to be neutered this morning, and I'm sure I was more anxious for him than any of my own animals I've put in for surgery!
He's fine though, but has a bad dose of t...

He's being renamed Bob as we often call Ruby, Ruby-doo so she is answering to Blue (which is more than he is!)
We've had him since Monday ni...
