Please do not be offended if we do not return your email or call, we receive 100's of calls and emails each day and (being a tiny centre) it takes ages to process them all. We hope you will understand. Thank you.
As previously stated, we are a tiny rescue, based around Val's own house. We do not have volunteers to man the phones or check the emails, it is done by Val or Shirley. Please only telephone between 9am and 5pm, please respect the privacy of Val's own house.
If you are interested in offering a home to any of our dogs, please EMAIL us first and include all the details below. Please provide us with a landline telephone number as well as a mobile number. We cannot afford to keep calling mobile numbers back. Resend the original email if you still do not hear anything. If you email us more than once, please copy all the original information (as below) from your initial email into the follow up email, sometimes we receive so many emails that it is not possible to 'link up' original emails and the follow-ups you send.
