I'm sure everyone knows by now that we've just adopted a new furry friend for Alfie.
We had Lula from Many Tears Animal Rescue near Llanelli in South Wales and they are by far the best rescue kennels we've ever seen!
We were home-checked and advised to take Alf and all members of the family to go to meet Lula.
The kennels are very clean and well laid out. The staff, both paid and volunteers, are attentive and helpful. On Saturday when we visited, there were whole families getting involved with walking the dogs.
Lula had been checked over by the vet, vaccinated, spayed, wormed and microchipped.
Everything was explained to us and written down - what the vet had discovered, including a very mild heart-murmur, when the 2nd part of her vaccination was due, what treatment she'd received for an infected ear and we were given antibiotics and ear drops to continue this at home. The charge for all this (including the dog)? Just £170.
We were even given the option to back-out! No hard-sell or pushiness.
So if any Funsters are considering having a dog, I can highly recommend this establishment. It is run by a husband & wife who are hands-on for 15 hours a day, 7 days a week and who also run boarding kennels alongside the rescue to pay the bills.
They take in a lot of ex-breeding bitches from puppy farms but also dogs from local authority kennels and homes where families struggle to cope. Previously they rescued a lot of dogs from dreadful conditions on Irish puppy farms, but the new application of rabies regulations are now hampering this.
