Sun 31st Dec: Year end figures for 2023

Still waiting for a home 

 There was a huge turnout of puppies for the last Puppy Party of the year, and although I don't have the photos to share yet I'm looking forward to seeing all of the hopefuls, from tiny to somewhat larger.  There weren't any adoptions during the afternoon, but the two hours of fun is good for the puppies in many ways so it's never time wasted.

Sweet doglets Papaya and Pomelo are still waiting 

There were thirty five adoptions during December, and the year's total of four hundred and fifty five dogs and puppies finding homes.    However, with an intake of four hundred and eighty two, you can see which way the flow is going, and it's not good news.  I don't want to start the year with a pessimistic outlook but the numbers don't lie.  It's a huge problem everyone is facing, and at the end of it all are the innocent dogs and puppies who are always the victims. 

Anyway, for today let's concentrate on the successes and the happy adoptions shown in this lovely video compilation, with thanks to everyone who opened their homes to all of these dogs and puppies:
