Alex adopted rags just over a year ago. According to her, "He has settled in so well, he loves cuddles on the sofa and watching tv, especially anything with animals in, he enjoys countryfile and likes to run round the back of the tv to find the sheep! He can sometimes be grumpy with other dogs and he is very protective and has a very loud bark but when he gets to know people, he is a big softie." He certainly looks it! She adds, "he is lovely, we can’t imagine life without hi

Helen adopted Lupin back in August. In her words, "He was so timid at first but he's settled so well and wakes us up in the morning with a paw to the nose, classic cheeky kitty! X"
