Robbie initially came into our care whilst his owner went into hospital until it was determined that his owner would no longer be able to care for him full time so they asked for him to be rehomed.

Doris Banham have once again kindly offered to take all three dogs on and to look for their forever homes!

Once again we would like to say a massive thank you to Sharon, Trudie, Lorna & Co at Doris Banham for their continued help it’s greatly appreciated!

GOOD LUCK PONGO, JACK AND ROBBIE!!

He’s got a new home!

On the 24/07/2016 this little Shih Tzu was brought into via the out of hours Animal Wardens for Bolton Council. When he arrived he was heavily matted with an infected cut on his head.384527

He wasn’t ID chipped and no one has come forward to claim him. During his 7 days we’ve clipped him and treated him for the infected cut. He has made fantastic progress during that time.Benedicts 3yrs

And on the 01/08/2016 ‘Benedict’ the name we gave him went up for adoption and has found a new home.

We will look forward to staying in touch with his new owners and monitoring his progress.DSCF5379

Huge Thank You to Doris Banham!

We would like to say another huge thank you to Doris Banham Rescue for taking on these two guys!

Sharon with Lou from Doris Banham

Sharon from Doris Banham with Lou

Lou was brought into us originally through St Helens dog wardens on 20/06/2016 Lou was ID chipped but unfortunately we weren’t able to get in touch with registered people on her micro chip. After her 7 days Lou went up for adoption on 27/06/2016 unfortunately during that time no one has offered Lou a home, so we’ve contacted Trudie of Doris Banham Rescue and she has kindly offered Lou a place with them.

Sharon from Doris Banham with Sid

Sharon from Doris Banham with Sid

Sid was brought to us originally through Leigh & Wigan dog wardens on 01/07/2016 Sid unfortunately wasn’t ID chipped and no one come forward to claim him. After the seven days Sid went up for adoption on 08/07/2016 and was adopted on 14/07/2016 but unfortunately had to be returned due a behavioural problem. So Doris Banham have offered him a place along with Lou.

 

Once again a massive thank you to Doris Banham for taking these guys on! We shall look forward to keeping in touch Sharon, Trudie and Co to see their progress.

Update on Tallulah

Here’s an update on Tallulah a Dogue de Bordeaux adopted from ourselves.

She was IMG_2080brought into us due to her owner not being well enough to care for her anymore.IMG_2075

IMG_2085The very next day Jackie and Liv decided to give her a home and have been very kind as to stay in touch with us on a regular basis!

Its great to see Tallulah thriving in such a loving caring home!

We couldn’t of wished for a better home for Tallulah and will look forward to staying in touch will Jackie and Liv!

Everyone here at Leigh Cats and Dogs Home would like to wish Jackie, Liv and Tallulah all the best for the future!

Sign Posts to the Home

We have had a couple of people get in touch concerned that the signs to the Home from the main road have been disappearing. Just to clear things up…..

Wigan Council have decided that the Home no longer fits the criteria required to have a Brown ‘Tourist’ sign directing people to us so they have covered them up. From what we can gather this is simply because we don’t have a Cafe! (although we do have a nice coffee machine!)

It is just these that have been removed and all other signage is still there and we are still here and open as usual and look forward to seeing you in the future!

Update on Smooch

Remember me???

Here’s an update on Smooch the mastiff who was brought into us via the St Helens dog wardens on 24th June. Unfortunately Smooch was not ID chipped and nobody came forward to claim him.

IMG_2810 (1)After his 7 day period he was assessed by the vet and then neutered. Smooch was then rehomed on 7th July to a family that live on a farm!IMG_2796

 

 

 

 

 

His new owners have kindly kept in touch with us and given us regular updates on his progress and also sent us a few pictures.IMG_2837 (1)

It’s great to see Smooch settling into his new life so quickly!

 

We look forward to staying in touch with his new family and seeing his progress!
