George & Milly’s Haircuts!
Hello, Milly here. George and I have been thoroughly unimpressed with our week so far! It started with haircuts… in March?! Foster Mum said we were being tidied up because mud kept clogging our paws out in the field. Honestly, we're...
A Spring Day for Sunbathing
Hi, Yoda here. Ben arrived in rescue at the same time as me, he's the same breed and also in permanent foster, so we'll be together forever. Mum said we were heading to Sharron's (mum's daughter) to pick up some dinner for me and...
Scrappy’s World: The Easter Egg Munch
Hi everyone! Mum reckons I'm a very spoiled boy and says I have plenty of fans who send me gifts because I'm special. That explained why the Amazon driver kept visiting more often than usual. I can hear him coming up to the house, and even though I give him...
Hi I’m Menna
Hello everyone, Menna here. My first blog is a bit of a letdown because I fell ill this week! I ended up with a nasty abscess on my neck, right under my chin, so here's how it all unfolded...... The week began with my usual bath and...
Dreamies Swipe
Hi again! It's me, one-eyed Bandit! At home I've picked up a new nickname, DespBandito, which foster mum keeps singing at me — she really does sound like a fellow cat when she does it! I've had a few cheeky tricks up my sleeve since we last spoke. One of our...
Falling In The Lake
Hello there, Georgie here. Foster Dad has been home this week, so we've been out every single day! One day we had to visit the big doggy hospital for Brandy's scan, so we explored somewhere new that Milly and I adored. Foster Mum kept me on the lead by the lake because I have a...
Why Do Rescues’ Have Stupid Rules?
Why is adopting a rescue dog so difficult? Why do rescues seem to have silly rules? They won't let you adopt if you have young children. I have no garden but could offer a loving home, yet I was refused for a dog I applied for. Surely a loving home beats no home at all....
Who’s First For A Bath?
Hi, Yoda here again! I've just finished breakfast and had a run around the garden, and now I think it's bath time — help! Brynley — I want to go first (so I get the first sausage). He's a Chinese crested x chihuahua and was already in my house when I arrived, along with Bear (the cat)....
Gorgeous Scrappy! By Foster mum & BSBR Founder Sharron Walters
Scrappy is a complicated little lad. Cute and fluffy, a proper goofball, he adores life, his soft toy duck and showing off tricks. He has a wonderful time racing free in my field, playing fetch with his duck and playing hide and seek with me in the long grass. Scrappy loves to mess up...
Hi I’m Shy and Only Have one Eye!
Hi everyone! I'm Bandit. Mum calls me a "forever foster", whatever that means. All I know is that I love living here — my sisters are here, there are lovely children I adore cuddling, and I get tasty food at the same times every day! When I first arrived, I did...
