Assistant Director- Dolly
Dolly, our 12‑year‑old rescue, is a shy but incredibly sweet girl — and an IVDD survivor too. She assists Millie Moo in welcoming our guests with plenty of sniffs and the occasional enthusiastic lick.
Rainbow Pup- Poppy
Poppy was our beautiful girl for nine wonderful years. In 2019, after a terminal cancer diagnosis and her own struggles with IVDD, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her cross the rainbow bridge. She is forever missed and always held close in our hearts. We will love you forever, sweetheart. Until we meet again xx

Volunteer Dog Carer- Uncle Sausage
My husband, Simon, shares my love for all the dogs and treats every guest as if they were his own. He’s always ready for cuddles, playtime, feeding, and walks, and he’s a constant presence in the evenings and at weekends — offering plenty of extra love and attention to our guests.
