A Little Old Man Called Bully.....

As I said previously it has been such a busy period of late with five of our dogs moving onto other rescues but then three others arriving needing us to start to do our work from scratch. There stories will be on here in time, but with so many coming and going we always make sure we don't forget about our old timers. I asked Amy to help me do a little  right up on one of our longest residents and here is our combined efforts ......

Bully is one of our long term SHAK residents. You are probably wondering why he is called Bully- he certainly lived up to his name when he first arrived at SHAK causing chaos whenever he could and often with a swear word in front of the word Bully!!

Despite his big reputation though, Bully is the most cuddliest, full of mischief and friendliest little staffie you’ll meet. He stays in one of our kennels which looks out into the fields which we think he spends most of his days dreaming of running in.

He's a loveable rogue and most definitely one of many volunteers favourite in the kennels, keeping  everyone entertained by bringing one of his many soft cuddly toys on a walk and finding a hiding place to bury his teddy by using his nose to dig a hole in a hedge or under a tree! He is a very clever boy.

Bully however is reaching that age of retirement, he’s slowly getting more grey hairs and isn’t as much of a ‘bully’ he once was. Recently he enjoyed a well deserved night away with Brad and Amy, letting the old boy enjoy the warmth of a home and some cheeky sausages he couldn’t help but give a paw for. Regardless of where Brad wanted to sit, Bully spent the majority of the night on Amy’s knee enjoying the simple things most dogs take for granted- a cuddle with their human friend.

You may ask why we are telling you all of this, as this isn’t an appeal to find Bully a home, we are just simply sharing this beautiful boy with you all so you can get a glimpse of how amazing all our dogs are, including the ones who have been here for years and sometimes miss the exposure the new arrivals get.

 In saying that however,  if  the correct home with a very experienced owner came along then it is definitely something we would consider......
