Letters to Mutts

Hello, my name is Ross and I used to live at your rescue centre. Then at the end of March, I was rescued by a senior couple called Ian & Jenny. I did not know how my life would change but it is great, we go playing ball every morning down the river walk and I have made lots of doggy and people friends. Then we work our way up into the park where there are Oak trees and guess what- squirrels, which I can chase but sadly there are too many trees for them to climb, so I have not caught one yet but it is really is fun. We also have a normal dog walk in the afternoons – again on the river walk but the opposite way and sometimes I get country walks and we go out in the car which I love.
Where it is safe, I am loose so I can enjoy freedom. I have just come back from my 3rd small holiday in 6 months, this time 4 days in Derbyshire. We stayed at a farmhouse and did lots of walking,mostly on the lead as there were often livestock about. We even saw some deer at Chatsworth but I could not play with them as again I was on a lead.
I am told that I have one more night away in a nice hotel near Bury St. Edmunds, then that is all for this year. I still get taken out for Sunday lunch to dog friendly pubs and sometimes cafes during the week. Life is so very busy so I am often pleased to crash out on the settee in the evenings with my master alongside.
Love Ross (a happy dog)

We’ve had Mia (previously Saffron) for over 4 months now and just wanted to say how lucky we are to have her as an addition to our family. Considering she had been on the run for over 6 months prior to arriving at Mutts, she settled into home life quickly.
She’s a gentle soul and loves nothing more than her bed and a belly rub. It genuinely puts a smile on her face which in turn puts a smile on ours.
She has brought out the playfulness in our other dog and in turn he has taught her how to be a good pet dog and play with toys. They love nothing more than to tear around the garden together. So thanks again for all you do, you’re all star people in our eyes
Hope you like the pic!

Dear Team,
I thought I’d write, as I understand Buffy was with you for sometime before we were blessed to welcome her in to our home. We absolutely adore her and think she’s the most beautiful thing on four legs. She cruises the house trying out various beds and sofas. She eats fresh salmon and mackerel and is slowly growing in confidence with human interaction. I hope we’ll come and get a companion for her soon.
Great job you all do there, changing dogs lives and enriching the homes they go to.
Thank you so very much,
Best wishes,
Nadine

Dear Mutts,
Rio the pup from Romania, is flourishing in her new home. She is in good condition and has been spayed, as well as her rear dew claws being removed at the same time. Daughter Elsie (4yrs), can give her a gentle hug round the neck and makes sure she releases her grip carefully. Rio is slowly gaining confidence with strangers and people wearing glasses. All is going well.
Thank you.

Blake has really made himself at home, he loves his long walks over the woods and has great fun chasing the squirrels in the garden and loves playing with any type of ball.
He likes nothing more than laying upside down, having his tummy tickled by Mummy , who has spoilt him rotten !
Thank you to all at Mutts.

Dear Mutts,
A big thank you to you all for introducing us to Velvet aka Rosie.
What a perfect dog she is, we can’t imagine life without her.
She settled straight away, is good on the lead,loves a lie-in and our grandchildren love her to bits.

With thanks again from the three of us,
Anne, Terry and Rosie. xx

Dear Pat,
I just wanted to send you a photo of Woody so that the girls at the kennels and Giselle can see how well he is doing and its lovely to see his confidence growing everyday.
Woody is part of our family already and has lots of character that we love about him.
Woody looks after my parents and I can’t wait to start training this lovely dog.
Woody will never forget Mutts In Distress, we will drop food off for the dogs occasionally and my Mum is good at knitting, so has offered to make dog jackets if needed. I’m afraid Mutts in Distress will not get Woody back but we will look out for any fund raisers you hold and we will support those.
We as a family have learnt a lot from Woody, he is special to us.

Many Thanks

Lisa, Paul, Gerry and Sandra x

Dear Mutts,
We have had Axl nearly 3 months now and we couldn’t imagine life without him. He has completely changed into such a special dog, he is loving to all humans and most dogs!
He has improved his obedience greatly through attending doggy school and now gets excited to get in the car and see family and not so afraid of cars going past in the street.
Most excitingly, we have been letting him off the lead in the last week and he has been running back to us in open areas away from traffic. He also responds well to ‘leave it’ and ‘wait’.
He has most importantly been incredible around young children.We are super proud of him.

Thanks again to Mutts In Distress.

Dear Mutts,
I just thought I would let you know how Gordie is getting on. He has settled down fast and tried to rule the roost from day one. He is in training and is coming along amazingly and has calmed down a lot and seems very happy here.
I know we love him, he is full of love and is a right character. As I am typing this, he is laying on my foot.
He has found his forever home and we have found our beloved Gordie.
Love,
Lesley
