Hi, if Charlie’s owners look at the guestbook could we have an update and some pictures if possible? It’s coming to nearly 2 years since we had to give him up and we still think about him. We would really appreciate and update on how he’s doing. Thanks Chloe

An update on our boy. Zak is now nearly 16 and a half, we went to Stoke to get him 8 yrs ago this month from some kennels there, John was the contact there. He was put in kennels with his sister Poppy we think but she had already been adopted. Zak is truly loved beyond words, has a lovely life, the vet says he is marvellous for his age, hearing and eyesight are good and a strong heart. He has arthritus in his back legs but still loves a gentle walk to the park or over the pool. We adore him and our lives are entwined, he loves to come with us in a hotel that allows dogs as he is the star of the show.

Hi, any updates please from our boy Hugo. He was rehomed in July 2016. I’ve emailed a few times before but had no reply. We was only told he was rehomed to a rural location to a lady owner who also had a female springer after I dropped him off by Clitheroe. Would love to hear that our boy is happy and healthy. Never stop thinking about him, and circumstances not withstanding he would have still been with us now. Thank you whoever took him in and also to any reply.

Hi All, I am writing regarding our boy Rufus who has found his new family in May this year.
I am hoping that his new family love him as much as we do and enjoy his company.
Would it be possible to get more update about Rufus? I miss Rufus every day and I would be so grateful if his new family could share with me more update on how he is getting on.
Thank you so much for reading , Monika

I just thought I'd drop in and say hi. I can't imagine after all these years that our little girl Bellas previous family check on here but have loved reading some lovely stories on here that I thought I'd share pour experience.
Bella is now 13. We visited kennels in Stoke to see if we were to be adopted by her. She was (is) the prettiest little thing but has certainly challenged us over the years.
It took her some time to settle; we were her 3rd home at 2 as well as her being in kennels with the RSPCA and of course before coming home, at NWESSR.
She suffered terribly from separation anxiety and caused endless complaints from our neighbours, but, we never gave up, she deserved that from us. Walks were always a challenge as she'd get scent of something most days and "do one" regularly. We kept in contact for some time with the behaviourist Janet who supported her whilst in your care, this helped a lot.
Fast forward to today and she's very settled and happy, she has been for years. We have a Chocolate Labrador now who's 5 years her junior, but she's the boss and runs rings around her. Best thing we ever did getting her a companion (quite by default if I'm honest) but it did her a world of good.
She's greying around the muzzle but everyone who meets her find it hard to believe her age.
We're now home checkers; I say we because she always comes with me and loves her visits.
We've done one today which is why I've come back here for a nosey.
I'm thrilled to be able to support this charity and give something back. Thank you for our wonderful girl who makes us smile every day.

For Chloe Wilson regarding Charlie:
Rest assured Charlie has settled brilliantly and is loved very much by myself and my husband, and also my elderly parents whose lives he lights up when he visits.
One day I will risk my running watch on his harness to measure how far he goes because he must do at least double the mileage I do in the woods. He can’t get enough of it!

If Charlie’s new owners check the website, it would be lovely to have an update on how he’s doing. We miss him a lot and would love to see how he’s settling in.

Hi
I am reposting my original post from last year. I am desperate to hear any news on Kess please. We miss her so much....
we rehomed our beautiful springer Kess on 18th June 2017. We would really like to hear how she has settled in to her new home. We miss her deeply and want to know she is happy. Our little girl asks about her often she has only just turned 2 but remembers her Kessy. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just joined and hoping I can help with rehoming a Springer. I have a lovely Springer called Lucy already. I've had her 12 years and LOVE the breed.

Have checked on the website a number of times since our dog was originally re-homed in October 2016 in case there was an update, and today I did a double take when I read the story of one of the dogs who has been re-homed. He looks as handsome as ever and lovely to hear that he is getting the opportunity to be a working dog. We often think about him and although we now have another dog ( which has worked out very happily) we will never forget out first dog.

Hi. We had to give up our beautiful boy Oscar in the hopes he would find someone who could give him as much love as we did but also the exercise and freedom to be a happy stress free dog which sadly due to my husband having a couple of strokes and myself having to work mainly nights to bring in a wage we were unable to give him the latter.
I am hoping with all my heart that when he goes to his new home that whoever is lucky enough to have him in their lives, would please put someone updates on this site so we know we've done the right thing for him. And to let you know we really struggled with the decision to let him go but because we loved him so so much we had to do what was right for Oscar not for us and we miss him greatly and still love him.
If your readings this and you have oscar then thank you. I'm finishing this now as I'm getting upset because all I want is to cuddle him and say sorry to him and tell him we love him still.

Re: Charlie
Thanks for the update on how he’s getting on. It’s clear he’s found a loving home.
I have been reading your monthly updates and I have to say I cried when hearing how you appreciate his little quirks.
To give you some background to them. He looks in the bird baths because he would regularly go to our allotment, which had a pond. He’s so clever that he very quickly understood that where there was water, there were things he could chase, despite being told off for scaring the toads and tadpoles.
We got Charlie when he was 6 weeks old and my husband would take him on camp when he was still in the Royal Marines. He would walk into the shower with John and try to “dry/lick” him from under the water. This carried on at our home and there was rarely a day when I was in the shower that Charlie’s wasn’t sat on the mat waiting for me.
He refused to leave my side when I was in labour. He knew when I was sad and needed a dog hug. He is the most loyal, affectionate, wonderful dog and I miss him every day.
You clearly seem to understand this and I’m so happy you love him so much. I only wish we’d have gotten help with how to introduce him to our son. 😢 please keep the updates coming. Although slightly heartbreaking I love seeing him so happy.
Charlie’s favourite game was hide and seek. If you ask him to leave the room and then hide a favourite toy, he loves sniffing it out. We spent many an evening doing this....he never gets bored of it. Thank you again.
