Since it opened in 1999, hundreds of dogs have passed through the kennels doors and have gone on to wonderful new homes and families. On this page you will see some of those lucky dogs in their forever homes, and hear how they've settled in and how they've enriched their new families' lives.

Some of you may remember Lucy the yorkie (who we affectionately called Fangs at the kennels!).

Well, this is Lucy back for a visit with her mum and dad, she has come on so well in their tender loving care and the wee soul just adores them.

A few pics of Charlie who has become just as handsome as his brother (although a bit wetter in two of these photos so looking less shiny!!) - he loves going into the water but isn't brave enough to swim full on in it yet.

Keep up the good work...

Kind regards
Jenny

Murphy & Polly >>
Posted: 19th August 2007

Hi Ena, Frank and Mhairi,

Just a wee note to let you all know how Murphy (Chico) is getting on. Well, he has settled in brilliantly and Polly is in her element! He is like her wee shadow and she is loving it. Their Gran actually bought them a big bed to share because they were always cuddled up together in the wee one. I have attached some pictures to let you see them though I now have 2 unwanted beds so I will pop up with them soon. Murphy has made such a difference to Polly, she's even playing with toys now!! So thank you once again for letting us have the wee man, we're all chuffed to bits.

Love Gill x

Zeus >>
Posted: 19th August 2007

We were thrilled to receive this e-mail from Zues. He was originally rehomed to Dalkieth then his mum phoned to say they were going back to America (his dad is American). I was so worried for him thinking he would need to come back to us, but I needn't have worried. His folks loved him so much they took him to live in Colorada Springs! How's that for commitment?!

This is what Zeus has to say:

Hello Ena an Frank,

Its too darn HOT!!! Apart from that life is good. Been camping and swimming and occasionally protecting my family from what they call thunder, but I'm convinced its the sky about to fall on our heads.

Attached is a recent pic - no squirrels at the new house but I'm making the most of chewing on this pretend one.

I’ve just had my 7th birthday and we went on a wonderful hike and picnic in the mountains. I spent most of the picnic in the river (black dog in hot weather = not much fun). The vet told Susan I was very healthy, but he wants to check on me twice a year since I'm now in the "senior" dog range!! Don't feel it!

All humans are happy and well - bring on the autumn and cooler weather!

Love to all,
Zeus xx

Dear Ena and Mhairi,

My mums promised to send you pictures of our holidays in Tayvallich ... I had a great time and learned to stalk a big hairy fish ... Which I caught!!... Unfortunately it turned out to be my sister Ailis but it made my mums laugh so much!

I have also sent you pictures of my other sister Brae and my brother Glen who are also rescue dogs. My mums said I was not to send pictures of them as they had not brushed their hair!

I love my new home with my sisters and brother and I have some lovely cats that scratch my nose when I try to eat their dinner and my mums say that I may be deaf but I am the cleverest boy they know.. I am really good at jumping on the kitchen cabinets, pulling the stuffing out of toys and biting bacon rolls when they are still in my mums hand.. I am also brilliant at taking up ALL of the sofa.. I go to work in an office all day and I meet lots of lovely people and I have learned to say hello to them by going "WHOOOOOOO".. And as you can see I can now type!

I hope my birth brother TJ is happy and when you see him give him a hug for me.

Lots of Love,
Fergus the Dally

Breagh, Bonnie, Star & Billy >>
Posted: 19th August 2007

This is what Frank and myself did after taking Lucy to her new home (talk about a busmans holiday!):

Firstly we went to see Breagh & Bonnie, who are both looking great, and then we paid a visit to Star. She was the mum of the husky puppies, she has really blossomed from a wee skinny thing into a lovely girl, this is her with Frank and her house mate who is a Northern Inuit.

After saying goodbye to Star we carried on right to the very tip of Scotland to see Billy the Rottie. He came all the way from Wales and ended up in Scrabster! He is doing absolutely brilliantly.

It was so nice to see each and everyone of them with their new families. Just makes what we do so very worthwhile.

This is Sam (golden lab) and Tess, they're both former second chance residents, and they came back for a visit. Their dad went out of the room and you should have seen these two panic! "wait for us dad"

I now have a lovely new home and have gone to stay with a wee king charles spaniel, I think we'll be good pals!

Ena has already called to see how I'm getting on, she needn't have worried though, I've got them wrapped around my paw already, in fact, last night it was a case of four in the bed!!!

Harvey >>

Hi Auntie Ena & friends,

Sorry it's taken some time with this update but I've been a very busy boy
since joining my new family and brother Bailey the lab. They all think I'm
the best thing since sliced bread! Mum keeps telling all her friends "what
a great wee dog" I am. It's nothing but compliments (except when I roll in
unmentionables whilst out on our walks). I'm having a great time with my
brother Bailey and guess what? No more chewing for either of us - well we
do have each other after all.

We're in such a good routine now, wakening up between 6-7 am, depending on
how much we've had to drink the night before! We do go back for another
hour or so then its all go! Playing in the "ok coral" (fenced front garden)
before breakfast, then out for a walk through the fields, have become quite
partial to the odd crop or two, sshh don't tell the farmer! Then it's back
to the "ok coral" for drinks and a play before our afternoon nap and when we
waken we start all over again! I have already out grown my bed so have been
sneaking into Bailey's, I'm definitely the boss despite being the "wee boy
and the new kid on the block". Now I have the same size bed as the "big
one" so keeping my old one for my pals back at the kennels, as well as some
treats.

We really are two spoiled boys, getting lots of kisses and cuddles from all
the family not to mention all the treats from our cousins in Kirkcaldy and
my uncle in Kelso. They all say they can't imagine life without me and it's
certainly been one of the best decisions they've ever made.

Will keep in touch, lots of hugs and kisses to all back at the kennels,

Harvey x
