🩵🩵🩵 BRIAR – SURGERY UPDATE 🩵🩵🩵

It’s been an incredibly long day, but I wanted to share an update on our little Lurcher, whom we’ve named Briar.

Following a lengthy and complex operation, I’m delighted to report that his surgery went well. Our incredible orthopaedic surgeon, Edrick, was very pleased with the outcome, and Briar now has plates in place to stabilise his fractured bones.

This evening, Briar has been transferred to Arthur Lodge for overnight care and pain management. The photograph was taken when I collected him following surgery, and all being well, we hope to bring him back to the rescue tomorrow.

The next six weeks will involve strict crate rest, apart from brief toilet breaks. We will be doing everything possible to keep him comfortable and mentally stimulated whilst giving his legs the time they need to heal.

Our veterinary team and the staff at Crossways have been absolutely exceptional, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated and skilled professionals caring for our dogs.

We have also been completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown following Briar’s appeal.

To everyone who has donated, shared his story or sent messages of support, please accept our heartfelt thanks.

I would particularly like to acknowledge an individual who wishes to remain anonymous, who made an unexpected and exceptionally generous donation towards our bill, directly to our vets today. Your kindness has touched us deeply.

Running a rescue brings many challenges, and sometimes the financial and emotional demands can be overwhelming. But when we are faced with situations like Briar’s, our wonderful supporters never fail to rally around us.

It is because of people like you that we can continue giving dogs like Briar the second chances they so desperately deserve.

We never take your support for granted, and we are more grateful than words can express.

Thank you so very much from all the team at SSR 🩵

This story broke my heart this morning and sickened me. Thank goodness for places like Southern Sighthound Rescue helping poor dogs who disgusting people have treated as disposable. I have decided to send the next chunk of the ‘pot’ from our Bark & Brew doggy charity shop to them to help toward this double leg break surgery. Hopefully the £400 you guys have so generously helped us raise will be a good way toward their total.

On checking the Woodland, we’ve been really disappointed this week for a couple of reasons.
🚭🚬 firsty, cigarette butts have been found in our woodland. Not only is this litter, but it’s toxic to dogs and wildlife. But even more so because everywhere is so so dry and one spark could start a fire. There have been numerous crop fires around us. Please use your brains!
💧 🪣 someone has allowed their dogs to destroy the blue water barrels and lids this week. This is just rude and disrespectful.

Looks like we’re in for a cracking bank holiday weekend. With high temperatures expected. If you are booked and need to move your booking, there’s a link at the bottom of your confirmation email. Any problems just message me. Remember we open very early and close late so there are options to walk when it’s cooler.

You may have seen a local rescue called Willowdale Farm Rescue have taken in 3 newborn and dumped puppies which they are working hard around the clock to hand rear. I am delighted to send them £500 which has been raised via our doggy charity shop which is within our Bark & Brew coffee hut. Without our customers generous donations of dog items we wouldn’t be able to do this. So thank you all very much. Not only are we helping dog ownership be a little more affordable, raising money for charity at the same time, we’re also being far more sustainable, re-using and recycling. Well done all of you and thank you for supporting this initiative.

Only a couple of miles from us, I can’t think of anywhere better to get your dogs bones. From cattle born and raised in Glatton and 100% of the proceeds go to a fabulous dog rescue.

I’ve just popped along to Branson's Farm Shop & Cosmic Aberdeen Angus Herd at Glatton for their pop up farm shop. If you’re looking for natural dog treats they have you covered too! Also they’ve a freezer full of raw bones for dogs and all the proceeds from those go to a dog rescue charity. Have a look!
