Parsnip

Our beloved Nippy, taken from us so swift on 03/10/2019. Peter and I have never had such a wonderful dog and we miss her dreadfully.

Not a day goes by now that we don’t smile at her memory. She was a wonderful assistant who helped many people smile and so many dogs with behaviour problems we lost count.

Darling Nippy, the hole you left will never be filled. It has taken Peter and I some time to mend. Now with your beloved memory and all you taught us we will continue our work while you run free to Rainbow Bridge.

We love you always,
Anita and Peter Edwards xxxx

Penny

Penny is a 6 year old Jack Russell who was found running along a busy road with her daughter.

The 2 lovely ladies were brought to Grande Daze Animal Rescue Centre and they were adopted to different homes.

Penny is now much loved and lives with another Jack Russell and two beautiful Labradors.

Luke

When he was very young Luke was rejected as a hunting dog and left to live in a concrete bunker. He was fed but never exercised or handled and therefore didn’t know how to behave. A kind young man came along and brought Luke to Grande Daze Rescue Centre where he was bathed, fed and made comfortable.

Luke was re-homed and now lives with Poppy, a black Labrador, several cats and a very kind lady who loves him. The two dogs attend agility training and lead a very active, happy life together.

Luke has also grown in confidence from a scared, shaking dog when he arrived at Grande Daze to attending his first agility shows in 2019 and happily socialising with strangers there.

Stella

Stella, a beautiful companion. A four legged friend who will never be forgotten.

In her early life Stella didn’t know love and affection – she was being trained to be a fighting dog; but she couldn’t make the grade because she wasn’t aggressive enough! After receiving physical and emotional scars Stella was abandoned by her cruel first owners. Fortunately, she found herself in a rescue centre where she was seen by a caring young man who fell in love with her and took her home.

Stella stayed all her life with this young man, who married and had children. This happy family loved Stella who became a faithful, gentle member of the family, travelling around the world and sharing their adventures. Sharing love and care helped Stella recover from a frightening, violent beginning. She lived for 17 years with her caring human companions sharing love and loyalty and only her physical scars gave a clue to her former life.

This beautiful dog was a glowing example of how love and care for a rescue dog can reverse a bad past and reveal a wonderful companion.

Sadly, Stella died in her 17th year. She will live on in the hearts of all those who knew her, especially, her loving family.

A special dog returned to stardust
