We got our little dog Djinni through Sadies and she is a total joy. We have been so impressed with the professionalism, compassion and total devotion the Sadies folk bring to the cause, before, during, and long after the adoption.

🥳🎉🇳🇱 Happy Bus News 🥳🎉🇳🇱Netherlands 🇳🇱 bound! One very special VIP on board! 🚌💨🥳💕Finally, little Roscoe's day came! 🥰Simone Brals at Dutch Animal Care spotted our boy on a local Facebook page, alerting us to his urgent need for help. And now, beautifully full circle, she has helped him find the perfect home, one that sees him for who he is. From the heart, we cannot thank you enough, Simone, & Roscoe's wonderful new family, too. 🌹💕💫 Roscoe 💫This boy really needs no introduction, but it feels special to pause & reflect on his journey, & what a journey it has been. 🙏 Our little love bug has truly blossomed in Laura & Bobo's care. Not only has he gained weight, but his confidence has grown beautifully too. He's bright, funny, cheeky, & he greets life with such enthusiasm. Honestly, we could all learn a lot from him. A true "tail" of transformation. 🐾✨️When we found Roscoe back in September, it was clear he had spent a long time on a chain, perhaps his whole life, the marks on his neck told that story all too clearly.He didn't stand a chance on the streets. Blind, painfully thin, with deformed front legs, & as if that wasn't enough, he was also struggling to survive with a broken pelvis. His deteriorating eyesight, vulnerability, & lack of street smarts almost certainly led to him being hit by a car, where he was left agonising in pain for days. 🥺💔But this ultimately is a story of hope, resilience, & survival, one that now ends in love & a happy ever after. 💕 Thanks to you, our incredible Sadies family, we were able to put him back together again. He recovered, & now Roscoe will know nothing but love, comfort, & full bellies for the rest of his life. 💫💪🤩Truly, we cannot thank you all enough for the love & support you have shown him. 🌹💕 A special thank you also goes to Sue & Vanessa McCathie, who were such wonderful support to Roscoe along the way. 🥰Roscoe was so kindly named & sponsored by our Rachel Barton. ✨️ Thank you so much. 💫With everyone's love & support, we can finally wave off 👋 our little love bug, ready at last for the love of his very own family. 👋🥰😘
🥳🎉🇳🇱 Happy Bus News 🥳🎉🇳🇱Netherlands 🇳🇱 bound! 🥰 Six beautiful souls on board! 🚌💨🥳💕We cannot thank the fabulous Annette de Vogel enough at Stichting Pootjes Roemenië for giving these precious babies a chance, & for finding them a place to finally call home. 😍✨️All of these lovelies were invisible, abandoned or free-roaming, hoping against the odds for a better future. Too sweet, too vulnerable to live a life safely on the streets. 🙏 The risks were many but hope, resilience, perseverance, sheer determination, & luck helped these beautiful souls to cross our path. ☀️We've given them everything possible to help them on their way to the happy ever afters they so deserve. But this is all thanks to you. It truly takes an army, a village, to build beautiful futures for the dogs & cats in our care. With love, thanks, & heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful Sadies family. 🤩 Thank you for all you do. 💕🐾Shall we see which lovely souls have boarded the happiest bus to their new lives... 👀😄🩶 Moppet 🩶Moppet was found in a company yard & was being kindly looked after by a lovely lady who worked there. But he was at real risk. 🙏Moppet was so kindly named & sponsored by Judy Clarke & Jackie Dimmock. ✨️✨️ His neuter was so kindly covered by Rosalyn Starbuck, 💫 & his pamper session was so kindly gifted by Agnes Brongers. 🛁☀️ 🩵 Benji 🩵Benji was found in pain & lethargic, lying on a path & unable to move or eat, by a kind animal lover. Later investigations found he had a fractured pelvis, most likely after being hit by a car & left. 🥺Benji was so kindly named & sponsored by Archie Perkins. ✨️ His neuter & pamper session 🛁 were covered by kind donations towards his care. ☀️ Thank you to everyone who helped him. He's now fit, well, & off he pops to a life full of love & comfort. 🙏🧡 June 🧡Puppy June was found alongside her Mum, Jean, in a lay-by. Their eyes lit up when a kind lady stopped to feed them, & later took them home. The following day, she made a special trip to get them safely to us. ⭐️June Richardson, Mummy to Tiggy, so kindly sent a generous donation to help this little family, including the naming & sponsoring of Mummy Jean, named after her wonderful Mum. 🌹We decided to name little June after June as an extra-special thank you. 😍June, thank you so much for helping this little family on their journey to happiness. 💕💛 Pip 💛Pip was found abandoned & aimlessly wandering the streets alone. The lovely Diana Balan stepped in to help, & after no microchip was found at a vets visit, little Pip came to us. ⭐️Pip was so kindly named & sponsored by Julie Russell, in memory of her beloved husband, Phil, in honour of his birthday. 🌹Pip's spay was so kindly covered by Sarah Canavan. ✨️❤️ Button ❤️Button found us whilst out feeding some strays. This curious little girl, who had clearly been through the wringer, with her mutilated ears, approached us tentatively, but full of hope. 🙏 She was encroaching on the territory of other dogs & it wasn't safe to leave her there. She wasn't an easy rescue, & we attracted the attention of the police in the process, who applauded our efforts once they realised we were a dog rescue, & not dumping dogs. 🙏Button was so kindly named & sponsored by Keith Newton. ✨️ Her spay was so kindly covered by Toni Hartley. 💫🩷 Faey 🩷Faey was found deep in the forest by a friend of ours. She was so desperately grateful for food, heartbreakingly thin, & incredibly gentle. Street life was clearly not for her, & she wasn't safe. 🙏Faey was so kindly named & sponsored by Ann Veitch. Ann also so kindly covered her spay. ✨️💫Thank you to everyone who has sponsored one of these lovelies - for covering spays & neuters, grooming, rent & tummies, & for helping with veterinary costs. 🤩 You have given these beautiful souls everything they needed to climb the rescue ladder 🪜, to hope, safety & freedom from a life they could not sustain alone. Homeward bound now to better things: love, comfort & safety. Your love & support is absolutely vital. Thank you, everyone. 💕🌹⭐️🥰

It was a trip to deliver more food donations to those in need but instead of returning with an empty car, we found a little soul in need along the way… Abandoned in a lay-by. Surrounded by rubbish.Left behind in freezing temperatures, with snow on the ground.And yet… he greeted us with such kindness 🥹This little treasure is incredibly friendly and oh so loving. Despite everything he’s been through, he still trusts. He still wants affection. He still believes people can be good 💔He is painfully skinny and malnourished under all of his beautiful coat, weighing just 6kg and estimated to be around 1.5 years old, though he looks so much younger. Watching him walk, we’re a little concerned about how hunched/weak his back end is, so we’ll monitor his progress and with a good diet and after gaining some strength, if we’re still unsure, we’ll arrange X-rays to see if there’s anything going on. For now, he’s loved, safe, with a full tummy and finally cared for.We’ll see how his little body responds to proper nutrition and love, the things he’s been without. ✨ How you can help him start his new chapter• We’re looking for a kind supporter to sponsor him and name for a one-off donation of £30, this helping to cover his initial vet costs please.**Update** Kindly sponsored by Gwen Da and named Benji 💙Gwen says “ Benji which is derived from the Hebrew Benjamin, and means 'son of happiness'.As he now finaly found his happy place with you guys🥰” • We are also looking for someone to cover his neutering costs of £30 please. **Update** Kindly covered by Jenny Longfellow 🫶We’re getting him closer to the life he deserves. Thank you for standing with us and with souls like him, when they need it most 💛Another soul is safe 🙏🏼 and now a Sadies baby 🫶
