Happy Hounds

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.

Thor >> Posted: 5th May 2009 How wonderful it was to see Thor on Thursday, and we can't thank Margaret & Dave enough for travelling all the way from Roy Bridge to let us see Thor,who is looking amazing and has never forgotten us. This lad was originally found on a busy dual carriage way poor soul and was really scared of traffic well who could blame him ! but his folks have worked through everything and he is such a well behaved big lad who is loved by everyone.
Robbie >> Posted: 5th May 2009 Oh what a lovely surprise today wee Robbie the Yorkie brought his dad to visit,his dad says he has brought so much love and pleasure into his life, he just loves wee Robbie and it is reciprocated. His dad has a car which Robbie loves going for jaunts in and he also has an electric scooter and Robbie likes nothing better than joining his dad on it for a trip to the shops, bless.
Pixie >> Posted: 5th May 2009 Pixie your looking so good and obviosly and again found a mum & dad who love you to bits. Hi Ena, I'm lying in my bed in front of the open fire, exhausted and with my tummy bursting. I can hardly keep my eyes open. We went to Mugdock this afternoon. We walked the long circuit and stopped for a drink at the visitors centre. I wasn't happy when mummy got daddy a big scone with jam and clothed cream, because he ate it all himself I just had to make do with a couple of Markies. I loved the high moors where I ran, and ran, and ran, and ran until I fell over. I ran circles around two Jack Russells until they gave up chasing me. I also met my new boyfriend again. We first met along the River Kelvin during the week. I think he's besotted by me. He says he is a greyhound, but he's bigger than any greyhound I've ever seen. He's very handsome. How did the open day go?Lots of visitors? Love, Pixie.
Sheba >> Posted: 28th April 2009 Hello Ena , I was looking at some of the dogs that people bring back to see you , so I thought I would send you an email. I got one of your dogs a long long time ago , she was a cross border , who you named smiler and I changed it to Sheba. She was only 6 months old and you had rescued her from some junkies that used her as a football , you told me that if you had not taken her when you did , she would not be here today. The day I came to the kennels , she was quite nervous inside her kennel but when she was spoken to she would smile and rub against the bars. I took her home and have had her ever since. She is now 14 years old and still going for her walks . She has been a great dog ,thanks. I would love to send you a photo of her. Please tell me how I can do that. Dawn And here is the lovely girl herself isn't she looking good. Oh I just love when people from so long ago get in touch and either send pics or come along to the kennels, thanks Dawn.
Scamps & Rocky >> Posted: 27th April 2009 Hi Everyone, Just thought I would send you a few picture to let you see just how well Scamps (rascal) and Rocky get on. We love them to bits and wouldn't change them for the world even though the play fighting drives us mad at times!!! Lots of Love from Rocky, Scamps, Linda and Mike xxxx

Rudy >> Posted: 25th April 2009 This is Rudy ( was Becky here) with her mum & dad she is getting on absolutely great, loved by everyone, even though she hangs off her big brothers ears.
Zara >> Posted: 25th April 2009 This is our Zara, who was adopted from here when she was just 6 months old, hasn't she turned into a beauty, she has a mum and dad who are absolutey besotted with her. Can I just say thanks to Audrey & Brian for bringing the sofas ect. for the kennels honestly just what we needed, as we were getting a bit low on seats for our residents.
Baillie >> Posted: 23rd April 2009 Baillie relaxing after a walk. From Mav This is our three year old Baillie who now has a fantastic home too. What a lovely photo Mav, thank you.
Henry >> Posted: 21st April 2009 Hi Ena We hadn't been in touch for a while and I just though that you would like to know that Henry is as happy as can be and fit as a flea. Hope you are well and that all is going well in the kennels. David Marlene, and Sarah (And Henry, of course)
Bailey >> Posted: 21st April 2009 Hi Ena Bailey here, just a wee email to show you some of my favourite places so far. I've settled in great and im getting lots of tlc! I was at the beach yesterday and I dug a hole so deep it was the height of me!! hope you enjoy the photos Love Bailey
Pixie >> Posted: 21st April 2009 Hi Ena, Pixie is absolutely wonderful. We had a play in the garden with her. Once she got hold of the tennis ball, she just ran circles around us. She's very inquisitive and has checked out every single corner in the house, garden and street. She quickly found her favorite chair and toy (as you can see from the photos) and was sound asleep in her chair after her own dinner and, surprisingly, also throughout our dinner (roast chicken!). She's been for two walks through the neighborhood. Has met and played with Hamish, one of the local Yorkies, and got very excited when she saw one of our local foxes. She's asleep next to me on the settee, head hanging over my leg, at the moment. Cheers, Lynn and Marc
Dougal >> Posted: 19th April 2009 My name is Dougal. I’ve been living with my Mum and Dad since they chose me from Second Chance about 9 years ago. I was a bit of a naughty boy at first. Not long after I came to stay, I managed to demolish the vertical blinds in the living room (as well as a few other things) but I soon settled down and Mum & Dad have learned to pull the blinds back before they go out now! Now I prefer the quiet life and gentle walks but when I’m in the mood I like to play with my “cousins” (both human and doggie) when they come to visit me.
Pixie >> Posted: 19th April 2009 Peter we have done her proud !! This is Pixie getting ready to go home with her new family, she had been jumping all over the place and then decided to have a nice wee nap on her mum's knee. I had left her quilt that she came in with on the floor so we wouldn't forget it, no chance she lay on it till she was ready to go,no way was she going without it.
Sam >> Posted: 19th April 2009 Well we were just talking about this wee fella the other day and here he is back to see us,with his doting mum and extended family who all adore him, well who wouldn't !
Ben >> Posted: 19th April 2009 This is Ben the chocolate lab with his new family. His Gran already has Isla a wee Second Chance girlie, who is looking forward to meeting Ben.
Harvey >> Posted: 19th April 2009 Hi Ena, A quick update on Harvey who has been struggling these last few weeks with very severe arthritis just about everywhere - all legs, neck and back. He is quite content now as he has been put on an extreme regime of painkillers. As you can see in the photo, he has also just got himself a set of wheels! He is quite content being pushed to the park like a Lord, and then he gets out and goes for a saunter before being chauffeured home again. Ben and Blue are doing fine and happy now we can all go on long walks together again. Linda Aw bless , thanks Linda for looking after "our " boys x
Dee Dee >> Posted: 18th April 2009 This is Dee Dee who was adopted a few years ago now, back with her mum for a visit, she is looking great and her mum absolutely adores her.
Sonny >> Posted: 18th April 2009 This is Sonny getting ready to go home. His mum in the red jacket couldn't sleep last night she was so excited at coming to get Sonny.So lucky boy that he is has gone to stay in the highlands, ( Had a home visit done yesterday) his folks are around all day so he will never be "home alone" This is Sonny with his Mum her daughter and grandaughter,who stay locally.
Misty >> Posted: 18th April 2009 Well this was a surprise visit today from Linda she brought Misty for a visit, Misty was adopted about 14 years ago before we started the kennels. She is looking absolutely fantastic, sadly she can also be seen with her brother Chip who has sadly gone to the Bridge.She missed Chip so much her mum took in another wee soul and she has given Misty a new lease of life, so much so her mum is on the lookout for an older quieter wee girl who needs a home. Linda your card is marked !!
