"Until you become a pet parent / guardian, you are not really aware of just how bad the breeding industry can be. We were lucky that River came from a very loving place, but after learning more through your work...when it came to getting him a friend, we knew adoption was the only way."

Just before Christmas we received photos of Lowri enjoying the winter sun with her sisters in the secure field.
She’ll be receiving her own The Dog Comes First #schnauzerfest coat after Christmas, in the meantime she’s wearing Cerys’s (RIP).
Restoring Lowri’s sight was a perfect gift 🧡🙏

Brenda and Ivy hope everyone enjoyed yesterday as much as they did 🙂
As ex-breeding dogs, both have known bad times. But that’s all behind them thanks to Rachelle and her wonderful family who earlier this year welcomed Brenda with open arms and big hearts.
Adoption changes lives 🧡

GREAT news for Winston. At his ophthalmology consultation it was confirmed that cataract surgery on both eyes will go ahead in the new year 🧡 This is a wonderful relief and very special gift for this gorgeous, very much loved boy.
Thank you Schnauzerfesters for helping to make this happen 🙏
