Troy was an amazing young dog, full of life and bought alot of sadness with him. When I first got Troy, he came through D4 Dog Training & Behaviour because he had behavioral problems and aggression and his owners could no longer keep him due to not having any time for him and not being able to spend the time training him and getting through the behavioral difficulties . He had not been socialised with people for the first 11 months of his life and thought of every new person as a threat by showing aggression towards them in and outside of the house. Even though I worked tremendously hard getting Troy to except new people, which he eventually did at the kennels, he did not do well in a home life. 
Paddy became ill shortly after being rehomed, he did not like being away from us or the kennels and did not eat while he was in his new home. When Paddy was bought back he seemed alot happer but then suddenly became ill and was rushed to the vets for emergency treatment.
This is Fred, he came to T.A.R.R.S. when I was working in Coventry as a Dog Warden, there was no breed rescue for him, so I took him on in his old age and found him a wonderful home. These wonderful people offered Fred a home and gave him a brilliant end to his life. This is what they had to say about him.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sasha
This is Sasha, she was a stray Greyhound x that was found in a farmers field near Southam, Warwickshire extremely underweight showing all of her ribs. She was in a terrible state with faeces and urine all over her bum and bottom half of her body. She managed to walk back to the farmers shed where she was given water and a blanket to lay on but she refused to lie down again. After collapsing in the kennels a day later, she was rushed to the vets who gave her x-rays and blood tests. She stayed with the vets for 2 weeks, having power washes to try keep her comfortable and keep her clean because she was slightly incontinent and trying her best to get up and move around but all seemed very painful for her. After a few blood tests later and several x-rays of her body we discovered she had cancerous tumours all over her lower spine and leg area. She would have been in immense pain for a long time prior to us finding her without pain relief. She would have used all her energy and adrenalin to stand up and walk to the farmers shed and at the kennels with us not knowing what was wrong with her and no wonder she collapsed when she did. I think she knew she was in safe hands. We gave her peace on Friday 7th August. She will be buried along with Paddy's ashes and next to the others who have died at the sanctuary.
A brave dog and so glad we found you, just sorry we never got to you sooner, everytime I write about you, you make me cry. Love always, run free at rainbow bridge my friend.x
