Paws for Thought...

News from Hillside Dog Rescue

In 2018 we welcomed Toni Smith to the role of Dog Rescue
Coordinator at Hillside. Here’s how she feels after working
with us for a few months...

I have finally found my calling! Yes, joining Hillside Dog Toni with recently rescued Daisy
Rescue was the best thing that I could have done. I have at

last managed to find a position where I can make a difference and work alongside other animal

lovers.

No one could have prepared me for the emotion that I would feel on a daily basis. From re-homing
a dog that no-one appeared to want, to not being able to help every single dog that needs help.
(although I still try!) It is so worth it...

We had around 30 dogs taken in this summer from an unlicensed Welsh Puppy Farm, most of
whom we have now been able to place into loving homes. It was a challenge as most of them
had been on the puppy farm since birth and had never lived in a proper home; which
sometimes leads to a puppy being fearful and mistrusting of people.

In 2018 we took in 330 dogs, and re-homed over 300 of them...
