Every Life Matters
Perfectly camouflaged, Brownie relaxes in her hole dug out at the base of the big tree just outside the Sanctuary. She'd just come back from a walk with the other (younger) dogs and had an attack of "the zoomies" aka running round in circles chasing her tail. Blink and you'd miss her - brown dog in the brown mud! Brownie is an old soul with a young heart - if you want to know more about her, check out her Profile Page on the website.

As well as great physical and mental exercise (for the walkers too!), taking dogs out on the lead outside the Sanctuary gets our rescues better prepared for that new life when they get adopted. Some dogs don't need leads, and walk with us wherever we go. This is Jonathan's tribe - every Wednesday he completes 5 or 6 walks in the company of TinTin, Phoenix and Bella. They bound ahead and clear the way while Jonathan and the lead-bound dog follow on behind. It's just possible that they are the best exercised dogs in the Province, as they are there on EVERY walk!

Here are some of today's walked dogs out having fun in the woods behind the Sanctuary. If you are local, and can COMMIT to a regular time slot each week for months on end, then get in touch with us to see about becoming a DAS Volunteer.
