Milo




Playful Paws team member Helen recently had a new addition to her household, a Springer called Milo.









Here's Milo's story...

"We had been thinking for over a year whether to rescue and we decided now was the right time. We were looking to re-home primarily for Bubbles, our four year old German shepherd. We knew from walks and other dogs staying in our home that she is a sociable dog who loves to play, and knew it would be great company for her, inevitably making her a happier dog. I have a lot of experience with Springer spaniels and have grown up with them and knew this was the breed we were ideally after. We registered with Jerry Green Rescue and they were willing to call us if one came in. Our luck must have been in as two weeks later we got the call; they had Milo, a 13month old Springer spaniel that had been put up for rescue due just to the owners ill-health. We were extremely excited to meet him and slightly anxious to see if bubbles would take to him. But when they first met we knew Milo was the right companion for her! The first day he came home with us they were playing in the garden within minutes and are now inseparable. Milo absolutely adores his new big sister Bubbles!"

Playful Paws Funday in the Lincolnshire Echo!

We were all very excited last Thursday at our funday taking place at Redwood Drive Community Centre in Waddington, as Lincolnshire Echo photographer Chris Vaughan was on his way to see what we were up to.





As with anyone who enters the hall half way through the day, our dogs greeted him very loudly and very excitably. At first Chris must have thought the hall was chaotic, as he tried to explain over the barking and through all the dogs running to greet him, that he was actually allergic to dogs! Regardless of this, he snapped away with his camera and got to grips a little more with what Playful Paws fundays are all about. Above you can see a couple of the dogs sitting and recieving treats. Dogs from left to right: Ruby, Cody, Ruby, Murphy and Charlie. Below is Helen with Charlie. Charlie often tries to collect 2 or 3 toys in his mouth at the same time, which is very amusing to watch! This is the photo that appeared in the Lincolnshire Echo's 'Grapevine' section on Thursday the 6th of August, page 21.
