🎉 ADOPTED 🎉

Today saw the sweet little guy start his first day of forever!

Our darling Marley has been lover his whole little life, we made a promise to his very loving past owner that we would ensure this sweet guy had a life filled with as much love and care he was accustomed to, and we did just that!
Marley is going to be so incredibly loved, wanted, doted on and apart of the family. With two teenage girl siblings and a Mum and Dad ready to welcome the families new heartbeat at their feet, we are confident this little guy has landed on his paws.

Happy Gotcha Day sweet boy, it was a pleasure being a part of your story 🤍

🤩 Moss Keeps Exploring 🤩

This adventure walk was kindly donated by Claire.

Moss fine tuned some agility skills, had a big run about and even bumped into an ex So Cares dog Alaska at the park! As we can see fun was had by all.

This vital training and exposure for Moss is only possibly due to your kind donations. To keep supporting Moss follow this link
