Rhianna's rehab at NCAR

When dogs come into the rescue as as stray it takes time for staff to get to know them, they are not at their best as they are confused, anxious and stressed in a kennel environment.

Adam Hobbs is a behaviorist who works with the animals at NCAR he video's the work he does and it clearly shows the difference he makes, by working with them it helps give the dogs confidence and makes it easier to find them new homes. Adam will always help new adopters to make sure that the dogs settle well

Rhianna is shown in this video responding to him and going from a very nervous dog to the great dog she really is.

Pet Pamper & Dog Show

The weather held for our re-scheduled Dog Show on the 23rd September, the previous date having been a total washout. It was decided that we would combine the Dog Show with the Pet Pamper Day, the result - a great day for all. It turned out to be one of our best days ever for attendance. So much so that we ran out of parking space and had to make arrangements for additional parking at an adjoining farm, so thank you all for your support, we hope you enjoyed the day and hope to see you at out Christmas Open Day on 2nd December 2012.

Foster Homes become Forever Homes

Kennels flooded 
A week ago NCAR was struggling with flooding, one kennel block was flooded and we had to make an appeal for temporary foster homes for some of the dogs over the following 24 to 48 hours.

The response to the appeal was overwhelming, the phone never stopped and about 40 dogs went out that day.

One week later and not all the dogs have been returned, instead of returning the dogs some actually found their forever homes. In four cases these dogs made such an impression on the temporary foster family that the temporary foster homes became home for life.

A happy ending to what was at the time a disaster.
