No dog should be treated like this!

This pup was underweight and without shelter—but thanks to our team and a dedicated rescue, he's finally safe🐾❤️

"We need to end greyhound racing, it is a relic of a forgotten age and it is leading to the deaths of hundreds of beautiful sweet dogs every year in our country and we are better than this."

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT "FAKE" STRAYS 😡

It's been a record breaking start to our 20th year, but for all the wrong reasons. As you can see from our January round-up below, demand for our services was phenomenal last month, with 155 dogs coming through our doors including:

🐾 34 dogs via Animal Licensing Wales rescued from appalling conditions (seven more born since)
🐾 Two litters of puppies needing hand rearing
🐾 22 abandoned Labradors, Golden Retrievers and Cocker Spaniels.

The most shocking statistic though is that only one in ten stray dogs were claimed by their owner. This means that almost 90% of strays weren't claimed, and were therefore abandoned or brought in by their owners pretending they were strays to circumvent the surrender list.

This is NOT acceptable, and it's no good saying "at least they are safe". Why should these people jump over the 102 owners who called to surrender their dogs? How many of those dogs on the surrender list have been left at risk, or are sufferring due to their actions? It's been very clear just how busy we have been this month, yet these owners thought it was acceptable to put even more pressure on us. We are not the only rescue in South Wales, but we are the only one with numerous stray contracts and taking advantage of that and abusing the system is simply unacceptable.

Our centre team and foster carers pulled out all the stops to ensure the safety of some very vulnerable dogs last month. We are also incredibly grateful to all our supporters for their generous donations and words of support.

Sadly February is shaping up to also be another busy month...keep your eyes peeled for details of another large intake of 14 Chihuahuas. Making a regular gift from just £5 a month would help us to continue our life-changing work for the most vulnerable dogs in our local community. This crisis is only getting worse. Your support really does mean the world to us and the dogs we help on their journey to a better life ❤

Thank you as always.

It's worth repeating this over and over again...
