Happy endings
All these dogs were successfully rehomed through SLR.
Willow
Taking on Willow, was taking on a little Angel. And she has been adopted by an angel. We know she is in a lovely home with you Liz and John. And having an adopted sister Dyna to live with is just heaven for Willow. Have a cherished life little Willow. xxxxx
Winnie
Winnie had been with Barney for over six months. She did try a new home for a few weeks but it was not meant to be. Every time Barney fostered a new little one Winnie, mummy dog, was first to prune and welcome. We knew it was getting progressively more obvious that Winnie had chosen Barney, and she was just waiting for the right moment to tell him. The moment came when Joy had to choose between Winnie and Bonnie. There was no choice, Winnie only had eyes for Barney as he left them outside for just a short while. How can anyone take Winnie away from Barney. In his heart he knew it, and Winnie told Joy it with her eyes, with her loving quiet whine, and with her waggy tail when he returned. She had her forever home all along, and now has Daddy, not Uncle Barney, but her Daddy. God bless you little Winnie. xxx
Bonnie
We have a lovely affinity with an Irish Rescue, who in our opinion are the best rescue in the world. Having had Bran over and then wonderful little Annie we were asked if we could take on Bonnie. Described as a proper little princess who just wanted cuddles 24/8. The description was spot on and Bonnie came over into our care. She was very loved by her foster mum in Ireland, and was only going to go to the best possible home. 18 applications were sifted through, and it was left to Bonnie to decide whether we had picked the right home for her. Barney travelled the 6 hour round trip for Bonnie to visit her new prospective mum and a much needed brother in Sam the lurcher. Were they going to get along. Would Joy fall in love with her. Why did we worry at all. Joy is a wonderful lady and Sam so laid back. Bonnie now has her forever sofa with cuddles forever. God bless you Joy. You were meant to be. And thank you for helping Barney see that he had the best forever home for Winnie right under his nose. xxx
Shaun
Shaun wasn't with us for very long at all. Just long enough to be neutered and vaccinated and microchipped. He is such a happy wagging chappie he was instantly snapped up by his new family. And they are just what Shaun needs. He was so happy to see the children. Happy days gorgeous little hound.
Logan
The lovely Logan has now departed for his new life with J.B. and family. A favourite among the members of SLR, have a long and happy life Loggie. xxx
Maisie
Little Maisie has gone to her new home with Alison and family. We wish you all every happiness for the future, and remember, we are here, a phone call or email away should you need us. Happy days.
Finnegan
From the very start of his fostering it was a sure thing that Keith would fail. How could he not with such a gorgeous hound. One hound who has truly landed on all four paws and happy ever after. xx
Jobi
Jobi had so many home offers and we think and he thinks we found him the perfect one. Jobi is the loveliest dog we have ever had through our doors and that must be lovely because we have had the loveliest dogs, all of them. Be happy little man, you special hound. May your bed always be warm and your heart always full of love, and your bowl always full. xxx
Belle
Belle is a very happy gorgeous young lady. She has found her forever sofa and bed with Jean, one of SLR's members. Belle came along at just the right time for Jean, and Jean is just the right mum for Belle. Lots of love and happiness is wished for you both for many years to come. x
Amy
Dear little Amy, such a heart stealer, has taken up residence with Bev, Roy and Amelia in Kent. She is already off lead and having a lovely time charging around the local woods. Be very happy little one.xx
Pip
Pip has landed well and truly on his feet and has settled so well with Helen and Chris and children. He has discovered that the sofa is his as well and loves meeting all the little toddlers at playgroup. Way to go lovely little man. Have a lovely life together all.xx
Robbie
Gorgeous little laid back Robbie has gone to live with Sue and Rob and Missy, who they adopted from us just 3 weeks ago. And very happy he is too. Good luck little man, have a lovely life and don't let that little Missy boss you around. xx
Ben
Little Ben has fallen on his feet and found his forever home with Lis and Vivian and Sam. Be happy little man and be a good little boy. No more slippers!!! Well, not many anyway!
Missy
Missy landed well and truly on her feet with her lovely new mum and dad Sue and Rus. Wagging all the way to the car. And on Sue's update, she has settled easily and is so loved. Happy forever little Missy.
Bran
The lovely Bran had a lovely foster home in Ireland with Miriam but not a sniff of a home offer even though he lived with 6 cats and 5 dogs. Gill of CALL put out a plea for a foster home here and we could not refuse him as we had a space. Bran has to be the loveliest and laid back of dogs. He came over to Uncle Barney for a few days and everything that CALL had said about him was more than true. He is a dog to die for. Lesley and Ian saw him and it was love at first sight. Bran has landed on his feet. Bless him. What a star. What a lovely dog. Be happy little big man. Be happy.
Woody
Lovely little Woody pup approx 4-5 months old was saved from P.T.S. by lovely Pat at Mutts who asked us to rehome him. Fostered by Rebecca in Sevenoaks, Woody found the sofa there just too comfy. Woody has been adopted by Rebecca, Mick and girls. Way to go Woody.
Alfie
We were contacted by Sonia who was grandma to Alfie. Through no fault of his own Alfie at 10 needed to be rehomed. He was now being left for long hours. At the time we had no room as we had no foster help available. We put Alfie on the site and with the help of several SLR members we bombarded the other forums, vets and internet with his videos. Lovely Mike and Elaine had recently lost one of their oldies and needed a companion for their lovely border collie. It was love at first sight and Alfie now has his lovely forever home in Bristol. We all took this big feller into our hearts. The second picture is with little Rory owned by Kate who homevisited Alfie. Live long and be happy little big man.
Spot
The gentlest of giants. Spot was due to be put to sleep and the lovely warden Abbi down in Hampshire couldn't let that happen. She contacted us and Spot was duly fostered by John and Viv in Hertfordshire and then as John had to have an operation, by Uncle Barney in Essex. Spot has a lovely nature and has found his forever home with Sandra and Roger.
Elly
Elly was found wandering the streets with a large cancer growth on her mammary glands. She was emaciated and had all but given up. Thanks to the many donations from SLR and LL members Elly has undergone surgery to remove the tumour and is now being fostered with Jenny, SLR's Administrator. Elly's life expectancy is a year, but not if Elly has anything to do with it. SLR will be eternally grateful to Mutts in Distress and ALL SLR and LL members for making the surgery possible and giving Elly some love and life before she meets the bridge. Elly is now an SLR sponsored dog for life.
O.B.
This little chap came into us as an additional extra. Technically he is a whirrier (whippet/terrier type) but he was so depressed we could not leave him there. He is an absolute poppet and has landed fully on his feet joining Andrew and Carol and their lovely two children in Suffolk. We have given him a birthday of 12th January. Obi is the loveliest honorary whirrier we have ever met. Good luck little man.
Bryn
Bryn was SLR's first rescue dog. His owner contacted SLR when she realised that she could not give him the care and attention that he needed. He was being left 9 hours a day and had become stressed when allowed to go for a walk. He has the loveliest temperament, and a real cuddly character. Bryn was re-homed in London with his new family and their bouncy girlie lurcher. Bryn is now bouncing around with love.
Megan
Lovely Megan has really been through the mill and is a timid little thing who only wants to please. She is so scared of her own shaddow and needs some forever tlc. After 3 weeks with the home pack we have decided that she can stay. She is gradually responding to some heavy tlc and just fits in with this mad family. We love her very much and little by little hope that she will blossom here. Yes, Mummy Chook, Mimsmum has finally failed with a foster!!
Dodger
What can I say? The lovely Dodger has touched all our hearts. He is a big gentle giant with a loving heart. Rehomed to Fiona, we wish them all the love and happiness in the world. Be happy little big man.
Leika
Lovely lively little Leika has found a lovely home with Mark and Sue and their three lovely hounds. Endless play and pampering! What a lovely little girlie you are.
