Julie Hodsdon Just an update to let you know Olivia is recovering really well from her spaying op on Thursday. She is such a lovely girl and we are delighted that she is now part of our family. Thank you for being so welcoming, when we visited at Christmas. It was clear just how much Olivia adored her carers at the kennels. You do a fantastic job under some very difficult circumstances. Hope to say 'hello' again later in the year. Best wishes and big licks from 'Livvy'. 27/01/2013 16:30:15

Markus Lindel? Keep up the good work Best wishes, Markus Lindel? Animal psychologist Hundpsykolog www.dogconsulting.nu 14/01/2013 18:31:34

Janet Adey I recently lost my little Westie after 8 years. She was a rescue dog and brought my husband and I much happiness and companionship over that time. We loved her dearly but because of the huge void in our lives we are looking to 'adopt' another dog. We would like to have a Westie but if this isn't ;possible we would like any small breed dog. We haven't visited the Centre yet but mean to do so as soon as possible. We have stacks of time, as we are retired, and could devote time to a new dog. Keep up the good work people. 11/11/2012 12:26:39

Sandra Hedley I stumbled across your site whilst looking to adopt a Bearded Collie. I rescued my two Beardies some 13/14 years ago but sadly they both died earlier this year. I am ready to do it all over again so if anybody out there can help I would be very grateful. Thanks 20/12/2011 13:10:00

He was very large when he came to us and I am pleased to report that he has lost quite a lot of weight and enjoys running round the woods trying to keep up with Buzz. He has definately found his forever home !! Thank you Emma, Brucie and Buzz xxxxxx 05/05/2011 16:15:42

Pauline Kelly-Ward Forgot to say-Harvey is now Harley! 25/02/2011 19:16:33

Pauline Kelly-Ward I recently adopted "Herbie" from you-a JRT/Chi cross, who was being fostered by Eve. I saw the ad on the preloved site just a day after losing our 7 year old JRT Harvey-we think to a stroke. Herbie was being called Harvey by Eve and her family-so it seemed like fate and we had to have him! He has settled in well, although he does need work on his manners on the lead and he still barks at one of our cats-alot!! 25/02/2011 19:15:26

Willow I stumbled across your site while looking for a boxer rescue site - I lost my best friend of 10 years to a brain tumor on sunday 20th February 2011 Zeus was my world I miss him every second of every minute of every hour of every day he was my reason for living but its too soon to get another dog just yet I need to grieve for him first - Thank you for all the wonderful work you do helping these animals to trust humans again & lead happy lives again Blessed Be xxx 23/02/2011 16:23:43

Gillian I have quite literally just stumbled across your site, i typed in boxer x pointer pup and up popped Kasey! What a beautiful girl i was almost reduced to tears, she has the same look on her face that my beloved Jasper had. Maybe i should explain. Jasper was a boxer x english pointer that i took on as an unwanted pup 13 years ago. I had to let him go in august after a short illness, i miss him so very much he was my soul mate, my best friend, my life! I admire anyone who befriends and helps all animals god bless you. 04/12/2010 16:21:49

Jan & Keith Miller We met our gorgeous Staffie bitch Lily back in June and fell in love with her on sight ( so similar to my previous Staffie bitch who was killed in a road accident). Lily she was not quite a pushover but we got her in time! HWAR were wonderful keeping her for us until we had moved to a house where we could have pets and we offically adopted Lily Lou aka Lily Pig!! only ten days ago. After an evening pacing the floor she settled down and day by day has settled in so well it seems we had her from a puppy. She now has one settee all to hereself and loves cuddles, walks and 'kills' one tennis ball a day. She is very patient and tolerant with our lively 12 month old grandson who calls her "Yiyee". She hates the rain so a doggie- coat is in the offing and she will go to great ends to avoid puddles!! .......but she loves her country walks and big garden....She is happy, eating well and VERY obedient and the credit for that is entirely due to the care, love and attention she received from the staff at HWAR for the three months she was with them, ...not the easiest of dogs for them as she hated being left alone and was quite demanding but despite that I know it was difficult for one member of staff particularly to ssee her go but rest assured she is in a loving and happy home. We will always be grateful to HWAR and if Lily could talk she would say a huge Thank You as well! It's a great team at HWAR deserving of support and funding to keep up their fantastic work. 29/09/2010 12:23:09

tracey watkins & kevin parry cant believe its been 12 months since we got bobby, the american bulldog who is now just called bob from your kennels at hamnish, he settled in very quickly with us and its like we've had him forever. he comes everywhere with us when we race our horses and everybody always comments on what a smashing dog we have. ive done a few companion dog shows with him and have done really well. he is very much a special lad even if he does have selective hearing on times but i just put that down to him being male!!!! 04/09/2010 00:04:06

Ginny HI An update on Sam, the lovely choc and white Collie boy we adopted in March. He has settled so well, we had a few little issues when he found his feet, towards our other dog Tess But these seem resolved. He is so loving and still cant help himself but to give u an enthusiastic snog many times a day, lol. He and Tess enjoy each others company too. He is learning agility and progressing well and is very focused on us when training. And what is very nice is when many people comment that we have 2 lovely and so well behaved dogs. We have bought a tent and have put it up in the garden, Sam was very scared of it as we were putting it up, but soon lost his fear and is in and out of it now. So we shall be taking them camping soon. Ginny 05/07/2010 16:44:18

Ray & Emma We took in a Staffie called Jake back in january and he is an absolutely amazing chap:) At first we were unsure how he would fit into our family and with our 2 Rottie females but its like he has lived here all his life. He is treated like the baby of the family, sleeps in our bed, has his bath and the only dog allowed to lie on my sofa:) he is a funny little character trotting about without a care in the world and is never any trouble considering the condition he was in when we had him from you. Its truly amazing how big his heart is and how well he has settled in, I think my boyfriend would be heartbroken if anything happened to him. Jake is like a little firework when you come in from a days work cos he is so very happy to see you. We are very glad and happy to have him as part of our family. Thanks Emma & Ray 19/06/2010 21:49:45

Tina Jones Thanks for all your help with Chops. I've just seen his pics on here looking for a new home. Makes me so sad that I had to let him go but hope somebody can give him the love and attention that he so deserves. He's a beautiful boy and I miss him dearly but he deserves better. 13/04/2010 22:14:05

Mark Hubbard Hi HWAR, Wanted to let you know that Ralph (Thomas whilst with you - american bulldog/boxer cross) has settled in well. Very relieved not to be in kennels anymore. Thanks for all you do. All the best Mark & Phil 12/03/2010 02:04:27

julie warren After a few yrs dogless i am now looking to rehome a dog fingers crossed we dont have to wait too long to find the right dog. 24/02/2010 14:25:59

mark forrest hi just a quick note to let you all know we adopted BEN (MR DARCY) in july 09 he`s doing wonderful he`s settled in with choccy our staffie bitch they spend every night cuddled up together on the sofa and spend hours chasing eachother round the fields thanks keep up the good work ! 05/02/2010 20:48:25

Rose We adopted Larry (a white and tan JRT - tan face, big tan spot in the middle of his back, and another tan spot round his stumpy tail) in April. I was afraid that, having been a stray, he would be very independent and not relate to us. 8 months on and he is a thoroughly established member of the family, always wanting to play or have a cuddle. He's a smashing dog and I can't imagine life without him. Goodness knows what would have happened to him if you hadn't been there to look after him when he needed it. 04/01/2010 22:43:46

Louise Pell Dear Carole & Wonderful team, thank you for all the time and love you give for dogs to get the second chance thy so desperatley need. Without organisations such as your selves where would we all be. God bless you all and keep you in His love always. 18/11/2009 19:20:45

Sarah Cordell Worcester I had my lovely 15 year old Yorkie Lexie from H and W rescue 18 months ago,she has poor health and we often visit the vets but she is the most loving beautiful little dog that anyone could wish for!! Last year she won your rescue class at your show and came home with a big cup!She has just had another holiday in Wales and loves to spend time with me and our other 4 dogs.She sleeps right next to me all night and as she cant hear sniffs to make sure I,m still there.Out of all my dogs she is the one that i,ve had the least amount of time,but she is the one who follows me every where!Thank you for giving me my lovely girl who I treasure !!! 22/06/2009 14:52:48

Lewis Family (again!) Would just like to thank Carol for emailing us back so quickly, being as helpful as possible. Many thanks! 28/05/2009 15:28:36

Emma i would like to say thankyou to carol as i emailed her and within a few hours she had returned my email and said she would try and help . i am grateful for all the help that hwar can give me at this upsetting time xxxx 15/05/2009 18:16:30

niki smith What an informative site. My husband and I are fosterers and have been doing it for many years for various rescues, at the moment with one in the forest area. Anyone who reads this and considers fostering but are slightly unsure, PLEASE do think about doing it as it is well worth it. We will happily help almost any organisation with dog fostering as it really benifits the dogs. Keep up the good work Hwar. 09/05/2009 14:42:06

Lewis family This site is really helpful and easy to view and read. We think it's great what you're doing to help get all those beautiful dogs rehomed. We've never had a dog, but recently we've been thinking about adopting one and this site was a great help. We will be dropping by soon, no doubt! 04/05/2009 11:35:05

Hannah and Ollie Moss We re-homed Jacob, a beautiful white lurcher, he is an absolute star and we love him to bits. He is so happy here with us in the forest of dean. Thankyou HW Rescue Centre. 24/02/2009 19:40:52

The Malsoms Thank you for Chip, a Saluki X who is sooo naughty! He is lovely, has a mad wild look about him. He has fitted in well with our other dog, the rest of the family and all the other dogs he meets down the field every day. He is a typical male teenager, can't get him out of bed in the morning, he prefers my sons double bed, he suffers from body odour when he's been out running, like my son!! And like all boys loves getting dirty. Considering his ancestry we think he was the runt of a litter, out of wedlock!!!! He's a smashing dog, just very naughty, climbing on the kitchen worktop during his first week and breaking two collars and a lead. He's getting better and we wouldn't be without him. We think he has killed about 20+ squeaky toys and unstuffed numerous soft toys, all his, many were for Christmas which i think was a lovely time for him as well as us. Our other dog is on his way over to the other side in the next few months so may be back for another piece of fun, smaller one though. Thanks again, hope Lucy (the lurcher he was found with) is doing ok 03/02/2009 20:45:15

Jude & Pete Hobbs Thank you for letting us adopt Beauty & Alfie our beautiful new babies. After only being with us for 24 hours we are pleased to say both are now settled down in Kent. I will keep you updated on their progress and hoping Alfie will soon be putting some weight, Thank you all for all the hard work you do. Jude, Pete, Beauty and Alfie xx 25/01/2009 13:48:33

mr and mrs cooke and family We rehomed Ronnie a labrador x a few weeks ago and he is settling in well. He gets on with our two dogs very well and is now part of the family. he enjoys running freely outside and going for walks around the countryside, along with playing with his toys. He is a loveable but cheeky chappy but we love him loads and are so glad that we have rehomed him from you near Leominster. 22/01/2009 19:54:05

Liz and Gang Hi all Thank-you for all you do. We were absolutely devastated when we had to have our old dog put down and wondered if we could ever have another. We came out to you to see another dog who was not right for us, but then we saw Luci ( you called her sophie and carol called her miss piggy!). Sh was in a bit of a state but there was just something about her and we knew we ad to have her. She is the best dog we ould ever wish for. She loves us as much as we do her. She is waggy and licky and just beautiful. THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU 10/01/2009 16:47:19

Chris and Max Its been 12 months now since I adopted Max a yellow lab who was 7 months old when I had him from the kennels near Leominster. He has grown into a confident, bouncy, HUGE, cuddly, cheeky chappy who loves life, football, food and spending time with people. I work in a residential home with adults who have learning disabilities and he often comes with me, their faces light up when he comes in and they enjoy watching his antics!! I love him to bits and so does everyone who meets him. Thank You for the opportunity to meet Max and I'm sure he's thankful for the opportunity to meet me. x 08/01/2009 17:27:29

Chris Clift Our beautiful Jack Russell dog died just before Christmas last year at the age of nearly 18 years. We don't ever think there will be another dog to replace Ben, but after visiting your web site this morning, we will be in touch soon to come and see your lovely dogs in the hope that one of them will consider us giving it a nice home. See you very soon. 16/11/2008 09:39:58

Helen (Papillons) Just visited your site for the first time as am donating you a boxful of goodies and i can see they are going to a worth while cause. Saddens me to see so many Adult dogs that must have had a prior normal life and then suddenly their world gets turned upside down. Those owners shud be made to sit and stare into your photos of dogs - they shud be made to look into each ones eyes and really see what pain they cause., each and every day to drill it in. Little private run dog rescues need all the help they can get as they, only they truely are for a dog from birth till death - enabling it to live its full life and not cutting it short for the sake of metal coins ! Keep up the good work and i will try help you as much as i can PS: I visited "No Name"'s tree to read his message and it made me cry - everyone shud read it as it hits home just what these dogs go through & how little time some have left to be shown that humans can be care... 30/09/2008 01:58:47

tracey and martyn davies sam- we cannot thankyou enough for showing us the collie pup aka puppy but we would like to call rosie shes going to be a new member of our family hopefuly after our homecheck we are all so excited and cannot thank you enough for agreeing to look after her fora extra week whilst we go on holiday the work you do is wonderfull and its lovely to see that the donations you recieve is not spent on luxery reception rooms etc like other rehoming centres but on the animals you obviously adore 28/09/2008 21:05:26

Jo and Ben Well just a note to say thank you! We have brought Becks home, and its as though he was always here with us! He and Betty my other dog are great pals, just been for their morning hour and a half in the woods, charging round the field with a stick each....so lovely to watch! Becks cant keep up with her yet, so now crashed out after a bit of toast. Heaven knows what some animals are going through, you are doing a great job under very difficult circumstances, lets hope there are forever homes for dogs where they can play and be loved and fed properly,,,what they deserve. Becks has had his problems, but I am very hopeful that when he feels secure and knows he is staying with us forever they will all disappear. So far he hasnt let me down at all....and he just adores my boys...the feeling is mutual obviously....he wont even sleep with me....has to be with the boys! Many thanks again xxxxx 28/08/2008 11:50:14

Helen Such a tragedy to see just a hand full of stray dogs in the kennels and i'm sure there were more there that we did not see! I do so admire what you are all doing, from walker, donators, organisers, fosterers and fortunate people like, "my family" finding such a smashing dog in "Harris", now known as "Jasper" a Jack Russell Terrier. He and our other dog Spike (another Jack Russell Terrier) get on so very well, they totally adore each other, and not one bad word spoken between them. I gave them a chance this morning to get to know each others company without supervision (yes i braved going into town to get a name/contact disc), they were absolutely fine. (if only i knew what sort of life he had before we gave him a loving home) I can only presume the people that view sites for Animal Rescue have the same feelings as me, one of disgust to think that anyone could treat any animal with such disregard.... I could rant and rant about this all day, alas I have done the next best thing and have given Jasper a warm, loving, clean, active home to enjoy for the rest of his life. Hes not going anywhere, that I can assure you. Good Luck in finding new homes, I would like very much to help out after Jasper has settled himself in. Great Job you are doing, you should be proud of yourselves. Kind Regards Helen (and Jasper too) Kind Regards Helen ps i have attached a couple of pictures of a very happy Jasper a friend for life for Spike. Please feel free to send the pictures and contents of this email to the team at Meadowbank Farm. 27/08/2008 16:31:52

anne ive just been on your web site and it is brill there is some lovely dogs waiting for a new home good luck doggies 18/08/2008 21:10:57

John i recently had to rehome my 2 dogs Kiara a black lab x and Brody a black lab, these people were very supportive and rehomed my dogs for me, i cannot thank them enough for their help-as much as i wish i could have kept them both. I would also like to get in touch with their new owners as i would like to know how they are settling in, as i loved them both very much and miss them dearly. Please email or leave a msg on here and i will get in contact, thanks John 15/08/2008 06:49:41

Heather Have just found your website, it is very upbeat and encouraging, your love and care for the dogs and their welfare is very apparent and heartwarming. My son does the same work in the North West, he is a very small concern, with more dogs than he can house at times. My husband and I help and support him where we can, but the number of brilliant dogs abandoned and not claimed is just unbelievable. I am constantly dumbfounded. Keep up the good work, you will always be needed! www.wolfwood.co.uk 09/07/2008 22:31:51

India Moon I met a lovely lady today on castle meadows in abergavenny by the name of Fran, she told me all about your website and the wonderful work you do. I have surfed your site and true to her word, its fantastic, I only wish I lived in a small house with lots of land, I'd home all the dogs in need of a home, but I don't and have to face reality. But there are other things I can do to help and have emailed you and told you about them. Please send my regards to Fran, I am the lady with the very large GSD. KEEP UP THE HARD AND GREAT WORK 04/07/2008 17:30:49

Lisa Rideout Having just put our most beautiful girl Jess to sleep after 11 many happy years (she was a retired greyhound and was 13 when she left us), I am looking to find a forever home for another lovely girl (maybe 2). We have given many dogs a new home and this is the only time we have never had a dog in the house, we just can't be without them. We will be coming to see you and your dogs soon. Lisa, Jamie and Jack from Oxford.....keep up the good work its fantastic. 24/06/2008 15:11:26

Sarah Thankyou so much for little Ben! We love him so much, without him our livingroom wouldn't look like the garden! (Chewed sticks, bones, tennis balls, shoes - you name it he tries to eat it.) http://file040b.bebo.com/2/original/2008/06/21/21/2587678260a8087434166o.jpg He's our little monster :) 21/06/2008 22:59:31

Sharon I think your doing a wonderful job and if i can help in anyway i would be more than happy too. 14/06/2008 20:32:59

john just wanted to thank you all for brecon.(bracken) a little puppy staff type...we just fell in love with her ...she has settled in well and is no trouble whatso ever (apart from shoes bitten ...boots taken up garden ...plants eaten ...) but would not be without her ...thanks again 13/06/2008 23:14:11

Tricia I came across your site a week or so ago, what fantastic work you are all doing! We recently had to put our rescue dog to rest after a 6 month battle (AIHA) Trixie turned out to be a beautiful dog, she came into our home in 2002, aged 16 weeks. She was such a joy to have and we feel blessed she entered our lives, it was easy to tell she loved her life with us, she gave so much back, in more ways then one. Trixie was very weak when we got her and very cautious of men She had been rescued from Ireland and we knew very little about her background. I'd like to paste a link with a few photos taken of Trixie last summer, you can see how happy she was. She is greatly missed. One day we shall again rescue another one, my heart goes out to all of them. Tricia http://triciaa.myphotoalbum.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=album01 09/06/2008 21:24:20

Kim Pearce Hi, what a wonderful site you have, having recently lost my dog to cancer I found the music and contents very emotional I will return again when the tears have dried. 29/05/2008 21:25:23

alison norton We had a fantastic day at the show and were so proud of Poppy, winning 2 classes and the winning best in show, not bad for a little rescue dog from Cardiff. Louis and Luca took the cups to school and Poppy got a round of applause in assembly! Thank you for such a lovely day. 21/04/2008 21:05:56

Janet Baker Thank you very much for a lovely day, it was a lovely show. It was our first time and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Thank you again 20/04/2008 18:45:56

Cath McGourty I have only just found this website and the wonderful things that you are doing for dogs. The 10 commandments definately pulled on the heart strings as well as the dogs themselves! Brilliant work done by brilliant people! 25/03/2008 20:05:25

Cheryl Wilkinson Hello I think what you all do is fantastic!! I have fallen in love with all of your puppies and dogs! Where are your kennels so I can bring my husband down to see them? 18/03/2008 16:14:32

Sian Kelly Cleo found us in Jan 08, she was 9mnths old and I think she's been around a bit. She is now settled and seems to be enjoying her new life. She loves lots of attention, chewing tennis balls (and anything else) and barking at the cat. A very playful sweetie, beagle x wippet, try catching one of those when she having fun in a wood! 17/03/2008 14:15:16

Julia I rehomed a collie x 7 years ago when she was 8 months old Millie is now 8 - she had been so badly treated you couldn't get near her she still not does not like to be picked up due to memories of bad treatment even the vet was in doubt. With hard work and a lot of love Millie is the most wonderful companion and I have a little sausage dog to keep her company - I just want to say give a rescue dog a chance the rewards can't be put into words her love is unconditional and she is so loyal every dog deserves a chance. Julia 24/02/2008 22:14:54

Julie Evans Hi, Would just like to say I have a rescue dog. My other dog sadly died and for 5yrs I refused another until Ben turned up at my workplace,chain embedded in his neck terrified of people and very aggressive. It took me 3 days to win his trust with my chicken sandwiches! I have had Ben just over 7years now, he is such a loving dog and adores my 7 year old Daughter. Ben was just terrified and clearly had been beaten.luckily he was still young, around 18mnths but took about 3 years for him to completely trust people To have a rescue dog with problems is hard work but very rewarding and sometimes they can be turned around.I am seriously thinking of getting a companion for him.Good luck for all the wonderful work you do. 20/02/2008 14:16:47

Mary Hi there, I think your site is really special. It gives us hope that there are still thousands and more people out there who really love animals and are prepared to love and look after them well after the sometimes terrible experiences they have had. I am hoping that I can adopt Misty a little JRTxBorder Collie you have in foster care at the moment. Wish me luck Love Mary x 19/02/2008 11:11:22

Chris Whitaker Hi, On 31.12.06 I became the proud owner of Holly one of 3 puppies on Dp, Holly, Jacob and Marley, she was via SSSR. Just to say she is the most FABBY dog ever and loved to bits. She is such a good girl and so obedient. THANKYOU to you all for my precious girl. Your site is GREAT and I only just found your guest book. Chris and Holly. 11/02/2008 20:23:00

Millie Even though we're not allowed a dog I love looking at all the sucess stories. If we were to get a dog, it would be a young boxer that could be left alone for a couple of hours and is fine with children. I f anyone has one in Oxfordshire/ Warwickshire/ Northanptomshire area (or asurrounding areas) let me know. 26/01/2008 18:00:41

E. May Anne Sime Some sad news to report - following bad health and her medication no longer working Suki had to be put down. Although, of course, I am very sad at her loss I like to think that I gave her almost four years more than she would have had otherwise. Adopting animals is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in life and I would recommend it to anyone who is capable. Keep up the good work HWAR. 13/11/2007 00:37:45

We already have a dog but she isnt quite as special as haveing my own dog not that i dont love her or anything but its not quite the same. One of my dads friends has a rescue dog and it is more loveing to me than our family dog is to my whole family, that is why i have wanted to have a rescue dog. Saddly my parents wont let me have one. If anyone has some ideas for me to give a go do tell. Fingers crossed! :3) 11/06/2006 19:24:53

Alex McFadyean Just happened across your site and had a look round was perticulary taken by Yorkie Land my wife and I having had 2 yorkies ourselves up until last year when sadly the last of ours died, they are great little dogs and your pictures brought back fond memories of our own, we currently have a rescued rescue dog a working spaniel by the name of suzie she was around my sons house which we were decorating for the arrival of a baby and she was always around skin and bone as they say when we were packing up to come home I had been putting stuff in the car and next thing you know she is in, The vet did not give her much of a chance of survial and to very little for her care, she was a fighter and now she full of life and living the high life with us. We wish your centre all the very best for the future and shall be back to look in to Yorkie Land again. Would dearly love to find one to take care of we may find one out there yet. P.S. We live in Scotland but can`t find any here as yet 02/05/2006 23:20:01

Christine Robbins Hello, I have just visited your site and thought it was very good. I am interested in finding a small dog (preferably a yorkie or a yorkie cross). I live in the Stoke-on-Trent area and have looked in my local dogs home but am not having much luck. I live in a terraced house about 50 yards from the park and have surrounding fields close to my home. I only work four hours a day, just 5 minutes away from my house so have time on my hands. Please could I register for a homeless dog with you? Many thanks. 02/05/2006 19:21:37

Nadia Habiba Appiah Hi, just wanted to to tell of the 3 beautiful additions to our family adopted from HWAR. Gezelle, our little rottiex, her dad Zac, greyhoundxstaff, and little Rosie, whos bark is bigger than she is! Gez, is a beauty, boisterous,friendly and full of fun, and stubborn to boot, but will do anything for a treat! Zac, is a gentleman, he smiles, he talks,he farts and he likes his belly rubbed, hes a little lamb, well, maybe not so little! And Rosie, the little fluffy JRTx, shes a cuddle monster and loves to be tickled. She torments poor Zac untill he tells her off but she gives as good as she gets, and i love nothing more than to see her and Gez playing, my 2 little girls. We couldnt be happier, even the cats have forgiven us! So thank you all at HWAR, and keep up the good work, for without you, these beautiful babies may not have been given the second chance that is their right. Nadia.xxxx 06/03/2006 21:49:01

E. May Anne Sime Hello all. Just a brief note to let you know how my HWAR rescue dog is doing. "Whisper" arrived just before Christmas 2003 and was renamed Suki. She wasn't well and had to have an operation and treatment, but recovered well and is now at a good healthy weight. She used to really hate other dogs, even attacking them and drawing blood! Now she's much more relaxed and has even made some canine friends. I'm so happy with her progress and love to take her for walks on the beach and in the country - she particularly likes wading through puddles! With the second anniversary coming up I'm thinking of finding her a new little playmate. Well, keep up the good work! Mayanne. 30/10/2005 21:25:50

Kat I lost my 'little sister' on Friday. Megan spent 18 (and a bit) years with me, and all the family miss her terribly. As a collie x springer she was both my nanny and my play mate and I can't think of a nicer way to remember and honour her memory then with a living tree memorial. I stumbled across this website purely by accident and I'm glad I did, I have now added it to my favourites. 17/10/2005 20:41:28

Mrs Candy Anne Foss Hi, I have just come across this website and I too think that the Living Tree Memorial is a lovely idea. It is so sad that so many animals are unwanted and abused and it is brilliant that there are loving and kind people that devote their time to looking after these sad animals. I would so love to adopt one of the dogs and have recently enquired about one so fingers crossed! I adore animals and I would start up a rescue centre myself if I had the funds etc. Anyway, keep up the excellent work HW Animal Rescue and I will be a frequent visitor to your web-site. Well done to you all.... Love Candy and Family xx 31/08/2005 11:58:15

Megan S I am 10 years old, nearly 11. My birthday is next month and i would love another dog, I have got a cat who is 5 called sophie and a black labrodor who is 1 called rolo. Rolo is a big dog very friendly, but he takes advantage of little dogs. I was looking to convince my parents to get a friend for Rolo to live with us, quet a big dog and very friendly. He needs to be close to us so we can pick him up we live in newcastle and he has to be a BOY. I am not saying I will defnetly bye one but I will keep a open mind. The website is fantastic and the dogs are very cute I love this website! 22/08/2005 16:08:53

PAM The Living tree memorial is a fantastic idea, my adored Boone now has a tree dedicated to his memory. I adopted Boone when he was 10 years old, we had a fantastic five and a half years together more than I could ever have hoped for before sadly I had to let him go. Boone was a very handsome German Shepherd cross and I was very lucky to find him and will never forget the difference he made to my life. 11/08/2005 22:38:21

Angie Preece I have recently lost my 'special girl' , a border lab cross, after 12 glorious years together. Your living tree memorial is such a fantastic idea - I have just spent 15 minutes crying and reading the messages and thinking of my own dear 'Bessie'. I am so lost without her and have been thinking of giving a home to a rescue dog so that I can feel I am doing some good. It has only been a few weeks since she died so I am not quite ready to adopt yet but I will certainly be making regular visits to your website and when I am ready, giving a home to one of the dogs you have rescued. You all deserve such praise for the work you do. My very best wishes to you all. 09/08/2005 19:02:21

emma hi i was wondering if there is anywhere in derby where i can walk the dogs for free as i love dogs so much and im not allowed one as ive got 2 cats i love the living tree memory its great. by the way i am 12 years old and i would help any time of the weeks as im on school holidays thankz emma 08/08/2005 11:46:15

Rosemary Message for April Dear April, I was sorry to read of the loss of your beloved girl. You are naturally still missing her immensely. I don't know whether you have heard of the Pet Bereavement Support Service? It offers a free befriending service to those who have lost a pet, whether through bereavement, or other circumstances such as theft, divorce, e.t.c. Befriending support is provided by a national network of volunteers (of which I am one), who take calls in their own homes. An e-mail befriending service is also available for people who may prefer to use a method of communication other than the telephone. The P.B.S.S. Support Line telephone number is: 0800 096 6606 The P.B.S.S. e-mail support address is: pbssmail@bluecross.org.uk Sincerely, Rosemary. 01/07/2005 15:01:14

April Hello I have recently found your Animal Rescue. Having looked through it you do so much to help these pets. I lost my dog one year ago and I miss her so much. Being unable to work, though I am mobile. She was my companian. Sat with me and talked though sadly she was Deaf like myself, we understood each other. Then my heart broke. She was found to be going blind too, I had to let her go. 18 years. Then gone. I will keep looking in your HW. Hope you don't mind I put in a little memento in your rainbow Bridge fot my Lost loved gog Thankyou, 30/06/2005 22:50:49

Kevin I got my little darling from HWAR some 13 months ago (for those who remember the famous Bunty) She is doing very well and hasnt changed too much, (still a total lunatic). I wish Carol and all at HWAR all my very best. And to say thanks for bringing me and the little git together, I wouldnt be without her now :) 30/06/2005 12:16:23

SHARON HANNAFORD I rescued Squishy (now Spike) a lovely Staffy X back in February from Dog Pages. He's settling in great here in Jersey & is loving the beaches. Chris & Trish were fantastic in helping me bring my baby home I have recommended HWAR to everyone. I can honestly say if the worst happens & I lose Spike I will definately come looking again... 12/06/2005 22:39:21

Judy Miles What a wonderful web site, would like to know more about Rainbow bridge as my poodle is now 15 and I dread the day we are without him, seeing this site has given me somewhere to think of using to remember him.

liz griffin i have 2 GSDs at the moment living with us, the older 1 is 5 yrs old an the baby is 6 mnths.the more i read in these rescue pages the more i would like to do to give another dog a good home.it amazes me how someone can have a dog in their home for years and suddenly give it up.my dogs are as important to me as my children and id fight to the death for them. if you have a yorkie needing a good home id love to help, just drop me a line either on msn or via e-mail. keep up all the good work you all do. great site. 29/05/2005 20:21:43

Lucy Hi, I am Lucy. My mom is crazy about Yorkshire Terriers. Me, my dad, my mom, and not forgetting little Jack recently went to the Dogs Show in Hereford, we had a fab time although it rained quite a bit! My mom rescued Jack from HWAR and he lives happily with my family. My mom has asked Carol to find another dog for us so Jack can have a friend! I hope you find us a Yorkie Carol! xLucyx 27/05/2005 19:18:56

Denise Jenkins Would just like to say we got our little terrier cross from you and he is fitting in a treat with our other two rescue dogs. thanks 22/04/2005 17:46:42

Stan Ogrodnik To all the hard working ladies ... I'm sure there are a few chaps too ... although you didn't provide me with a dog .. we did try .. the miles inbetween were just too many. Over the time I was in contact with HWAN, I became aware of all the hard work and effort, foster homes and of the others who work in the background helping to find homes for unwanted dogs. My appreciation was sent in the form of a small donation. I hope that others who try to obtain a dog from your rescue realize that a small donation is so helpful. All the best to everyone and thanks for your encouragement and your patience... it all paid off in the end and we have a new dog. Thanks again Stan 22/04/2005 17:46:23

Michelle What a great site this is. Had me in tears! I took on a Staffie X that was badly abused, and am looking for another Staffie (or it's cross) to keep him company. 22/04/2005 17:40:57

Kim Wonderful site, I have nothing but admiration for the work you do. I have lost my little friend Sam a crossbreed terrier this week after 14 long and happy years together, my heart is broken but maybe one day I will feel the need for another dof to enter our lives, Your site has inspired me to consider rescue dogs. 22/04/2005 17:40:04

Wombat Must stop dropping in as can never resist reading your poems & then sit here in tears! Thankyou for Sophie, our lives are so much richer for the time she is spending with us. 22/04/2005 17:38:39

linda bursnall I drove for over 8 hours to collect "Harry" last Monday! ( He is the Cocker called Goldie pictured last week on this site) He settled immediatley and he is dozing at my feet whilst I write this. We have two long walks in the woods and fields every day and a stroll around the village at night. I took him to my vet yesterday to get him microchipped...they said it was nice to see a smile on my face again and described him as a nice honest dog! I am taking two weeks holiday from my job as a psychiatric nurse to give him some security. When I return to work it will only be for three days a week and I have arranged for a lovely lady in the village to walk him and give him companianship. As I am a ward manager and have my own office I am looking into the possibility of taking him to work with me...the hospital is very interested in pets for therapy and I know that my patients would love him. I am sure I was "guided" to choose Harry and we are going to have many years of happiness together. 22/04/2005 17:38:16

britini i love it that you save dogs and puppies that is what i want to do when i get older i am going to get old dogs from the pound ensted of a puppy 22/04/2005 17:37:27

megan I just want to thank you for giving us our gorgeous puppy saffron(sherry by previous name). She is a delight to live with, although a little over-excited at times, but thats what puppies do. Shes absolutely beautiful and loving her home, enjoying the walks and she has already made loads of new friends, most of them bigger than her. 22/04/2005 17:37:01

Serena Carter Elsa, our gorgeous 10ish year old collie/german shepherd (we think)has been with us for about 6 weeks now. She has settled beautifully with us and our other two dogs. She is not as nervous now with traffic and is slowly learning to sit at the kerb without backing away from extra noisy vehicles. She loves food! and leaps about like a lunatic when I come down in the morning because she knows she is going to get a bonio or something similar. Although I like to think she is pleased to see me, too. I'm so pleased we found out about this site otherwise we would never have had the privilege of having her to live with us. 22/04/2005 17:36:42
