Folks….. we’ve reached it. We’ve received our umpteenth email today, and perhaps the straw that has broken the camel’s back is – “if you don’t take my dog right now, I’m dumping it at the shelter”.

Sadly, most of the time a lack of foster homes and financial backing doesn’t allow us to bring them straight into the rescue. But once in a while we get a case like Kingston…Kingston has had a hard life so far. Initially… Read More
