Animals for Adoption

LEO - 7 yr old Ridgeback cross

We were asked to help a dog recently who had some behavioural issues, exacerbated by extremely poor advice given by a "trainer". This poor dog's behaviour could have been improved with the right advice (which was offered) and the commitment of his owners. Sadly however, his owners decided it was better for them to have him put to sleep.

The Trust sees this type of thing happen far to often, and we cannot stress enough that behavioural problems can be solved with the right advice and the effort of the owners. The needless destruction of life for the convenience of others is something which we cannot condone.

We would like to thank the Paul Hutton Canine Behaviour Centre, who is a great supporter of the Trust. Paul is very well known and respected in his field and has helped countless dogs and their owners. His website is full of helpful advice and articles and is a great starting point. Consultations with Paul are available and we strongly urge anyone who is having trouble with their dog to contact Paul to discuss these problems and possible solutions before making any decision as to the future of their pet.

The trust is a 'watchdog' registered Charitable Society with a dual purpose - to act on behalf of animals and birds to defend them and protect their rights, and to safeguard them from abuse. Our core objective is to find caring homes for displaced pets. With our very limited financial resources, our greatest asset is the time given by our volunteers.

Please note we do not have shelter facilities. It is preferable that animals are
kept in their home environment until they are rehomed. In exceptional
circumstances we will attempt to foster animals with our volunteers.
