Bear	Bear is a very special boy!  He has overcome the worst possible start in life - he was born with a defect called Megaesophagus (Mega-E). Bear has to be spoon fed little and often on an almost liquid diet.  He is doing extremely well although we have to watch him as if he is sick and inhales it he can end up with a chest infection. He is very happy doing what he likes but could never be rehomed due to his medical condition
Oliver	Oliver was bought as a puppy by a family in Southend-On-Sea who obviously had no experience of dogs in any shape or form. By the time he was 3 years old the entire family could no longer cope with him. He had become extremely aggressive, screamed, snarled and barked constantly and it was impossible to do anything with him from grooming to putting him on a lead. He bit without the slightest provocation and the family could not even get him into a car to bring him to us in Birmingham. We arranged then to go and collect him and Donna went to pick him up, managed to contain him in a large pet voyager and brought him here to stay. 9 months of intensive training later Oliver was now happy to be loved, groomed and exercised. We decided not to re-home him as without constant supervision he would slip back into his old ways. He is now very happy here
Arnie	Arnie is a tiny toy yorkie, not much bigger than a big guinea pig. He arrived at the rescue from a puppy farm that had decided that he was no longer to be used for breeding, the reason? Arnie has a genetic defect which stops the fontonel (bone of the skull) from closing in the first few months after birth. This means that he has a permanent soft spot on the top of his head where the brain isn't protected by the skull. Nobody seemed to want to take him on as if he had a knock through play or something like that it could injure or kill him so Arnie stayed with us and has been here ever since.
Bryn	Bryn, the lurcher, came in after being rescued from gypsies and we know he was severely beaten, possibly due to his reluctance to work (ie rabbiting). Bryn adores all things fluffy and helps to rear the puppies and kittens. We had a lot of trouble with Bryn when he came in as he seemed to be in pain and had terrible digestion problems. After being taken to the vets and having tests done it was found that he had pancreatitis and he would need ongoing medication for life. He also hates traffic, fairgrounds, fireworks and any kind of flashing light which terrify him.
Wesley	Wesley was part of a litter that came from a breeder. Two of the pups in the litter were blind as were some of the previous litter from the breeder. We took them because they were due to be destroyed. Wes was a very weak puppy and had to have a lot of care and he was so nervous he could never go to a home as he screams hysterically when left.
Tim	Tim came to us with a fractured skull after being severely beaten and left at a local kennels. Nobody could get near him in the kennels, he was malnourished and trusted absolutely nobody to the point that he would attack anyone who came near. We hoped that bringing him into a home environment would give him much needed confidence. Within two days he bonded with Lin’s youngest daughter Carys and she is still the only one today that can give him medication or clip his nails, and he only trusts members of the family and the extended rescue family.
