Yesterday turned into one of the biggest and most challenging rescues we’ve ever been involved in. After seeing a Facebook post about a terrified dog stranded by the railway tracks, we headed straight out to help. Our first attempt to secure her safely in the crate was interrupted when, in the chaos of the scene, she became spooked and darted free, running straight into traffic, turning a difficult rescue into a desperate effort to keep her in sight and bring her to safety. She then began too sprint across a busy roundabout near Northwick Park Hospital. My partner ran after her, refusing to lose sight even if it meant sprinting a the entire mile into a building site behind the hospital. I stayed behind stopping traffic before chasing after. A kind stranger even gave me a lift on a motorbike to catch up. She eventually cornered herself in a building site, and together we managed to get a make shift slip lead around her neck and lift her to safety, despite her being completely terrified. When we scanned her microchip, it wasn’t registered, but after contacting the dog warden, we discovered her owners had reported her missing. The best news of all, she’s now safely back home with her family. This rescue couldn’t have happened without true teamwork, determination, and the kindness of complete strangers. To everyone who stopped, pointed us in the right direction, gave lifts, or offered help, thank you. Your kindness truly made a difference. Days like this remind us why we do what we do. So glad you’re safe beautiful girl.
Thank you too everyone who helped us!

And this handsome boy is Smirky. I was called about a cat laying in the garden covered in flies. It turns out he is at least 16 years old and his owner was a lovely 99 year old woman who just couldn’t cope anymore so I got him straight too the vets and checked over. Luckily, other than extreme stress, he was absolutely fine. Thanks too Candice Collyer (Hertfordshire scan and rescue) we found him a rescue space and he will be transported there soon.

This is the gorgeous Lottie. I was called about what seemed to be a small terrier/lurcher stuck behind the shed in someone’s allotment. I then got there and realised she was at least 4x the size (we now know she’s a Great Dane cross)! I managed too gain her trust but due too her size I could not get her out as she wouldn’t stand up. A kind man came too help me get her out and I then took her home until we found a foster home that night! The foster home fell in love instantly and she found her forever home!!

I’m not very good at all this social media stuff but I’m going too try and get this page up and running again. I’ve still been out everyday helping animals in need but I have not been sharing it. I will post some animals and their stories from the last week or so and will hopefully stop neglecting this page. 🐾💕
