OUR FEATURED DOG IS NORA
I’m full of joy, energy and love
Nora
Nora and her sister Nelly were found in Bosnia as tiny puppies, alone, freezing cold and starving.
Nora is now in the UK — safe, loved and looking for her forever home.
Here's a bit about me...
I’m looking for an experienced, active home that understands I’m still a puppy and need time, training, structure and patience.
I’ll thrive with people who enjoy training, enrichment and building a bond with a young dog who has had a difficult start but so much potential.
I’m full of joy, energy and love. I just need someone to help me grow into the even more amazing dog I know I can be ( I am already fab now, if I may say so!).
Could you be my forever home?

Help Save Bow’s Life – A Pacemaker for Her Brave Heart
Rescued just a year ago, she’s learning to walk again – now her heart needs your help to keep beating.
Only a year ago, Bow was rescued from being put to sleep. At just 3.5 years old, she has already faced more battles than most dogs ever will, but through it all her spirit has never weakened.
Just a few weeks ago, Bow was paralysed in her hind legs. She needed emergency spinal surgery and weeks of rehabilitation. Against the odds, she pulled through. Step by step, she is learning to walk again. She still wobbles, but she is determined and her happiness always shows so much. Bow simply loves life and she loves everyone she meets.
But now Bow faces another fight, one that could take her from us in an instant!

🐾 BOW HOSPITAL PUPDATE 🐾
Hi friends, it’s me… Bow 💕
Today was a big hospital day for me. I had my 6-monthly Cardiology pacemaker check, plus a Dermatology appointment to help figure out my pesky allergies.
I had some pre-meds beforehand because I do get a bit worried at the vets (understandable really 😅), but my forever-foster mum Linda has been working so hard on my confidence and I was much calmer than before. Everyone said I was a very brave girl!
For my heart check, I needed sedation because apparently wriggly sausage-dogs are not ideal patients when humans need them to stay still. The good news is that my pacemaker is doing a brilliant job 💓
The cardiology team did notice that my heart sometimes beats a little faster than normal, so I’ve come home wearing a fancy 4-day heart monitor. This should help work out whether it’s being caused by medication, excitement, environmental factors… or if my heart needs a little extra medication support.
We’re also waiting for my allergy test results to help figure out how best to manage my itchy bits. In the meantime, my medication has been adjusted, and now we wait patiently for answers.
Right now I’m home safely, snuggled up and sleeping off my sedation while my lovely Linda keeps a close eye on me. 💕
What a journey this has been. From being paralysed and unable to walk, to wobbling my way through rehab after spinal surgery… from living with the risk of sudden death due to severe heart problems, to becoming stronger after pacemaker surgery and rehabilitation… and now tackling allergies too.
Through all of this, my sanctuary foster mum Linda has stood beside me every single step of the way. She deserves all the love and admiration in the world for helping me through some very scary times. ❤️
Everyone who meets me seems to fall in love with me a little bit… and honestly, I love them right back! I may be small, but I hope my story reminds people to keep fighting, even when life gets scary.
Sending love from one very grateful little survivor against all odds.
Love,
Bow 🐾 x

Today we would like to talk about fostering 🐶
Many of the boys and girls we help have very little history, if any, so fostering really does save lives!
❤️ PROs 💙
🐾 You can help by offering a safe place for the dog to decompress after a long and very confusing journey
🐾 By gaining vital information on the dogs individual requirements and characteristics, you can help us find the perfect family
🐾 Memories, each boy and girl leaves their pawprint on your heart, that you will remember forever
🐾 No vets bills! You only pay for food. All essentials such as harnesses and leads are also supplied
🐾 Seeing posts and updates of the dogs you have helped live their happy ever after life, knowing that you have been apart of their transition
💔 CONs 💔
🐾 You do have to wave goodbye when they leave 😭 but its definitely all worth it, then you can help the next dog (which is another pro!)
We leave you with some photos of some of our foster dogs that have now been rehomed. Roxi was petrified when she came over and it took 3 days for her to come into our home (which is very unusual, as they usually LOVE sofas!), however once she settled we took her everywhere, and she loved it in the car and van! We even went camping together before she found her forever family 🐾
If you are in Devon/Cornwall and would like to help PLEASE get in touch, we really can't find homes without the help and assessments of foster families 🙏
