Every Life Matters
Babs adopted
Great news! On 6 June 2024, little Babs was collected by Alex and Maria to begin her new life. Her sister Bell had been adopted back in March, so we are so happy Bell wont be lonely any more! Thank you so much for adopting from us and making room to rescue more.

Enzo adopted
We cannot cannot tell you how happy this picture makes us!! Just two weeks ago, Enzo was living in torture, today he went to his new home with Zenaida.
Zenaida adopted Blossom from us 4 years ago and we were amazed she recognised us.
Enzo will never be caged again. He spent the afternoon exploring the large garden, which is very likely the first time he has ever wandered freely.
We will continue to monitor to ensure he adjusts, but we took Crystal with us, a Canine Behaviour Specialist who works with working breeds and she said he was comfortable and relaxed in his surroundings and she doesn't believe there will be a problem
Have a wonderful life Enzo!

Enzo caged
On Friday 2 June 2024, we made the very hard decision to release Dina from her suffering. We rescued her about two weeks before because she had a large infected lump on the side of her mouth. We took her for x-rays and couldn't see cancer but the infection was so big, it was obscuring it.

We had her on anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics but after a few days it became clear that it was cancer. We started her on chemotherapy but there was no improvement.
She was clearly a traumatized soul as she screamed every time we touched her. She would often just face the back of the cage despite our efforts to soothe her. Given that she was 12 to 13 years old, the poor prognosis and her level of discomfort we did the right thing and released her from suffering. She had suffered enough in this lifetime.
She looked so sad all the time and we wanted so much for her to recover and experience love, kindness and a family of her own. We're sorry Dina that you didn't get your happy ending. Run free sweet girl.
DINA RIP
Miracle
We rescued Miracle in September 2023. She was found on the street with most of her skin ripped or burnt off and maggots had already infested the wound. She was only about 3 weeks old and it was a miracle that she survived.
She also had a deformed foot - a birth defect. She went into foster care to get the best chance of survival.
Sadly, the fosters couldn't keep her so we brought her back to the Sanctuary a couple of months ago.
We were so grateful when Olga, Abby and Noel offered to adopt her last week. She took a few days to adjust but is now very well settled with her new family! Well done Miracle you little fighter!

Bobbi adopted
We have some great news!
Old Bobbi has been adopted by Eren. Bobbi was rescued at the beginning of this year. He was another victim of a hit and run, then left on the side of the road to die.
He sustained a broken leg, which had to be amputated.
He's been at Eren's a few days now and is settling in well.
This is the ultimate aim for our rescues, to get their own good loving family often for the first time.
As Bobbi is a senior dog, DAS will cover his vet fees for life.
We do this to encourage people to adopt our seniors.
Thank you Eren and have a great life Bobbi!
