PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

It’s with Heavy Hearts that we announce this today

Unfortunately, after trying everything we can and seeking alternative help, we have today made the hardest decision ever that we need to close our doors.

This isn’t a decision we’ve rushed into or taken lightly; we’ve had many conversations as a team over the last few months. As everyone is aware the Rescue world is currently in crisis, including us, so many dogs, so little space. We’ve been struggling for a while now with a lack of knowledgeable fosters. And we now just don’t have enough options to carry on.

Rescue is an extremely hard and stressful labour of love, it really does take over your life, BUT it’s hugely rewarding seeing the lives we’ve changed for the better. But things have become so much harder over the last few years,  and it’s just not changing. So we’d like to thank everybody for their amazing support in the 22 years we’ve been running we’ve saved 100s of dogues with your help, but we just feel that if we can’t do this properly and safely for the dogues, then we just can’t do this at all .

We’ll still be here as we have 15 Forever fosters under our care, but we won’t be taking in any new dogs.

But from the Team at DDB WELFARE, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we could never have achieved this if it wasn’t for you and the amazing support we’ve received. We truly have been blessed over the years. We’ve met some amazing people and made some lifelong friends

All Our Love & Ginger Kisses Julie Ann, Donna Bland, Kelly Winsper, Sarah Illston, Kelly Baker and the rest of the behind-the-scenes team, Lisa B, Lydia, Annya, Billy, Dor, Kay & Amyjo. xxx
