• 2 Dec: We were not prepared for the overwhelming response to our Stafford Walk on Sunday 20th November to celebrate National Staffordshire Bull Terrier Day. 36 dogs turned up and many more people. We had four puppies one of them deaf, several Staffie crosses, two Collies and a Yorkshire Terrier! Most people were local but some travelled quite a distance especially Gareth and Monty coming all the way from Wiltshire. Sam with Roxy and her friend with Saffy and Jon with Sky lead the field. All owners behaved responsibly and we enjoyed an hours stroll along the river creating an impressive sight. Everyone was asking when the next one was and a fantastic £158.50 was raised for funds.

• 16 Nov: We have taken in three new dogs in the past month despite still having our 'stickers'. We also have several dogs on our website that remain in their own homes but are urgent and whom we are paying for vaccinations, chipping and neutering. This has put us under considerable strain both with time and space but especially financially. Please can you support us with your donations both large and small so we can continue to help these dogs.
  
  We also need foster / permanent homes for all of these dogs. Fleur remains urgent for a foster or permanent home (Please note we have an updated description for her).
  
  Tara is 10 year old she is in kennels and has an ear infection desperately needs a foster home.
  
  Chance is 1 year old (approx)
  
  Smudge is now in long term foster but still costing us money to feed etc
  
  Sandy and Sapphire (both been with us over a year need homes of their own ASAP)
  
  Please, please help in any way you can...our only funding is from public donations our resources are getting very low.
