Dog rescue organisation on the Herts / Essex border, UK
It's great to hear from people who have given a home and a family to one of our dogs. Here are some of the letters we've received.
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
Dear Mutts,
I’d never heard of you until I met a couple of ladies in Woodford Green walking Shadow, a Labrador. They had rehomed him through you (I was walking my own Labrador). They were delightful ladies, and Shadow a lovely lad. He had clearly fallen on all four feet, having been given a home by them.
In short, they all deserved each other. Given that you are obviously doing an excellent job, my wife and I will be making a donation to you. Not much I’m afraid as we are both pensioners but hopefully you will find it useful. All the best.

Morning Pat,
Tiger is doing absolutely brilliantly. The minute he walked through the door, he made himself at home and has been great with the cats and toilet training. Taking him for a walk is amazing as he never pulls and once we’re away from cars, (which he doesn’t like) he doesn’t have a lead and he stays next to me until I say ‘play’ then he goes silly and runs lengths but never strays far.
Could you please thank the lady who saved him and all of your staff, as we’re so happy with him. He is a little lazy but I’ve got that out of him. In his first week, we walked 42 miles and the following was 39 miles.
We will also be attending the May Bank Holiday doggy day that you’re doing, so you will all be able to see him again.
Many thanks,
Alan Saunders
Dear Mutts,
He is a live wire and rarely sits down but I managed a photo today!
Thank you,
Tony
hi Mutts,
I thought I would let you know that Bengie has come to live with my family and our other little dog Buster. Bengie has settled in really well and is eating plenty. He enjoys going for walks around the fields with Buster and is teaching Buster how to walk as nicely as he does.
Bengie and Buster love to sit on the sofa together and sleep in their beds at night.
He will have a home for life with us and it is a privilege to have his company.
I can assure you that he is quite happy,
Thank you. x
Hi Mutts,
Here is a picture of Toby, who used to be called Gump because he was found in a forest. He is very loving although still a little nervous of strangers but he is fine if people allow him to come to them.
He is well trained, comes to the whistle and loves retrieving. He can even take directions to find a toy hidden at a distance.
Toby’s favourite human is Luke. He goes out training with Luke every day and sleeps beside his bed. He loves running and eating, he is a sweetheart and we love him.
Pat, Graham, Luke and Toby
