Hi everyone! Some of you may know why this place is so close to my heart but if not then I will write a little bit about it. Not only do some of my wonderful clients come from Bleakholt, but my beautiful boy Jack aka Jackie Chan does aswell. We met Jack by chance one day, fell in love quite instantly and started the process to bring him home. The staff were warm, helpful and gave as much information as possible about our new family member. It was very hard to ignore how dedicated every person there was to the wellbeing of each animal in their care. After this, Jack changed our house completley. Lucie was no longer scared, she had a friend who loved her and I had a shadow who would snuggle up to me at any given oppotunity! Life was good!

A few years later, I came across a young Jack Russell who needed to be fostered- Toby! After a life of being mistreated and ignored, this little prince needed to be worked with to be shown that people can love too! I was blessed to have 6 weeks with this wonderful dog, which was followed by an interested party who wanted to give Toby a home. Unfortunatley it was not to be and he was taken to bleakholt about 4 weeks later. From there, he shone! The first time I went to visit him I was terrified he would be scared and sad but I think he was the happiest I had ever seen him! He made friends with quite a few of the staff and they gave me updates and let me see him whenever I wanted (with the proper checks that dog walkers go through) And each time I saw him, he seemed calmer and calmer! They work with dogs to help any issues they have and don't give up like a lot of places would! Toby was rehomed because of their work and went to live with a wonderful man and had a very happy life for a few years! But I'm afraid thats where the happy part ends. Without going into too much detail, his wonderful owner passed away and the loss was too much for Toby to deal with after all he had been through. His confusion and grief turned into severe aggression and because of this he is now running free over the rainbow bridge. But because of Bleakholt, he got 2 happy years that wouldn't have happened without them! And for that I am forever grateful to them!

So because of my experience with Bleakholt, I have decided to try and raise enough money to cover a Sponsership for each dog there who needs one, which is currently 10, and also make sure I have enough to buy each dog staying there over christmas a new toy or treat! With the amount of kennels available, I am going to try and raise enough to cover if they are all full. If by Christmas any are empty and there is any money left then I will get extra supplies for Bleakholt! I will be showing reciepts and information all over my Facebook so you can see exactly where your money has gone!

So please dig deep and give your furry family members an extra cuddle tonight! ❤️❤️
