In praise of the smiling ones ....

Staffordshire Bull Terriers, affectionately known as Staffies, are shorthaired, pure bred dogs ... with origins in the county of Staffordshire, in the West Midlands in the UK. Staffies were bred to be fighting dogs, in times when that was an acceptable form of entertainment. Obviously that is no longer the case.

However, in the wrong hands, these beautiful dogs can become aggressive, as indeed can any dog with those genes. Some people who wish to appear 'hard', often though not exclusively young men, think having a dog that also looks 'hard' is a good idea. They also think it's a good idea to mistreat these poor creatures, or train them to be aggressive. Thus poor Staffies get a bad reputation. Their superficial resemblance to Pit Bull Terriers doesn't help. As ever, it's not the dog, it's the owner at fault.

People who are ignorant of dog breeds and of the real facts become fearful, and this fear spreads. Battersea Dogs and Cats home, one of the largest and most reputable shelters in the UK, find Staffies the hardest dogs to rehome. Often Staffies make up 50% of the dogs in their care. So very sad. 

As with all dogs, provided that Staffies are properly trained and socialised when they are puppies, there's no problem. Known as the 'smiling dog', they are fearless and intelligent, super affectionate, reliable, loyal and courageous. The cuddliest of cuddly dogs. They love people and form strong bonds with their families. They are so playful and patient with children that they are also nicknamed 'nanny dogs'.

Staffies are the softest most loving dogs. Far from being aggressive, they are more likely to lick you to death.  All they want to do is please you, to be with you and to love you.

Four beautiful cats who've been with us for over a year ... they deserve loving homes.

 Friday 1st April, 2022

They've all been with us for over a year and it's high time these lovely souls had loving owners and forever homes. They each have their special character and they are all so beautiful. A couple of them are a little older but they are not oldies, they are still young cats. Who will give them the chance they deserve?

Peco is five, and very handsome, as you can see. Just look at his wonderful eyes. He's been with us for just over a year. It's strange that he hasn't yet been adopted. For more information about this fellow, please click on his name. 

The gorgeous Louie is funny and playful. He's a bit of a chubby boy so needs to go on a diet - he really loves his food. He would like to rule a household where he is King of the castle, a gentle calm king who will repay your love and attention. Click on his name for more about Louie.

Mekel ... how could anyone resist her. That face! Those eyes. It's a mystery that she's still with us after a little over a year. Since she was a small 6 month old kitten. Still a young cat she will charm any household and family lucky enough to own her. For more information about this sweet tabby darling, please click on her name.

This is Chelia, so pretty with her grey striped coat and enormous eyes. Chelia is four now and like the others has been with us for over a year? We love her but want her to have a warm, happy forever home. A shelter is no place for a cat, however much we love her. For more information please click on her name.
