Short Stories:-

Brummie:

Brummie was the oldest shih tzu we have re-homed. He came to us in 1996 aged 15 when his elderly owner died.

We thought that at his age nobody would want him but Brummie was lucky. Jackie and Barry came along and gave him a lovely home.Brummie died last year aged 16, this is part of the letter that Jackie wrote:-

"....although we only had Brummie for 13 months it was as if we had had him forever. Brummie was such a special, loveable and regal dog, a real character. He loved to chase me and nip my leg or grab my skirt whenever I came in. We are so glad he died in his sleep, being cuddled and with dignity."

Brummie has been buried in Jackie and Barry's garden with a Shih Tzu statue marking his grave.

Grace resting her broken leg

Grace:

Grace was only eight weeks old when she came into rescue. She was an impulse buy from a well known commercial kennel which has had much attention from the News Of The World’s "stamp out puppy farming" campaign.

When we were asked to pick up Grace we were told that she had something wrong with her leg. During the drive home it was obvious that she was in pain so she was taken straight to a vet. who found that one of her front legs was broken in two places.

With the correct treatment Grace soon made a full recovery and about five weeks later was off to her new home.

Whitney:

Whitney came to us as a puppy who was deaf and suffering from severe fits. Extensive tests revealed the fits were caused by a liver disorder.

When this was treated the fits stopped. She is still deaf but is living happily in her new home with two other Shih Tzu for company.
