Colour Coding review

Regular visitors to the website and the centre will no doubt be well aware of our colour coding system which helps potential new owners identify suitable dogs for their needs, experience and capabilities as well as for use in the kennels by staff and volunteers.

After being in use for 18 months we felt is was time to take a fresh look and as a result we've made some slight changes. The defination of the colours has changed slightly and is in more detail, more importantly we've reduced the colours from four to three as we found it was sometimes difficult to decide between blue and purple and there was some concern that perhaps people were being put off purple dogs before they knew a little more about the reasons for this classification.

Rehoming still continues to keep us busy and of course that means we can call more dogs in that need our help.

Have you noticed the dark nights now drawing in? Soon comes around doesn't it, beofer you know about it we'll be talking about Christmas!! Speaking of which advance warning of our Christmas Party on Sunday 29th November :-)

Bye for now

Holiday time

Those of you who follow us elsewhere will know Sir Reilly and his humans are taking their annual holiday during September and arrived at our first weeks base today. A lovely log cabin near Melrose. Next week we move onto the Isle of Skye for a week. Reilly will be posting photos and updates through Facebook and Twitter.

Back at the centre homing has continued to be busy, 7 new guests came in on Friday and there's chance we may have the patter of tiny feet in a few weeks - watch this space!!

Bye for now
