Buddy Rehomed October 2011
Ziggy Rehomed October 2011
Ziggy has been with me a month now and has settled in brilliantly from living outdoors to living a life of luxury inside. She is very cheeky and enjoys nothing more than having the run of the house. She is very happy, as am I. I couldn't have wished for a better pet. Thank you!
Charlie - Rehomed March 2011
Charlie has settled in really well and loves his new home here's some pictures off our little charlie
Jack
Jack has had a pretty eventful life so far check out his story his original rescue fro Berwick dock here and his return to see his RNLI rescuers here
Hello there Jan and all my friends at Bark!. A very Happy New Year to you from me and my humans!
I'm having a great life here with Dad and Mum. Mind you, I had a few things to sort out out with them when I first arrived. Like - I like my food on a flat plate, not in a deep bowl, and I like several small portions rather than one whole plateful at a time. And at last they've found a food I really like. So now I'm eating for Scotland! Mind you, I'd sell my soul for fresh chicken and fish, but the rotters will only give me that when they're having fish or chicken themselves. But I'm a bit worried. Heard Dad say to Mum the other day that he might have to cut my food back a bit as he's worried I might become a barrel on legs. Hope I heard that wrong!
Plenty to do here. They've discovered the only toys I like are ones I can chew, so there is always a lovely big rawhide bone for me. And Dad plays lovely rough and tumble games on the floor with me. Mum's quieter. She's what they call disabled, so sometimes I go to her when I feel like a gentle tickle.
Wish I could say everything's OK. But I'm afraid I still have problems with other dogs. It's fine if they're on leads, but if they're free running and jump up in my face, I still see red and try to take a lump out of them. Mum says my middle name's Shylock - I want my pound of flesh. But there are too many dogs running off leads in the streets. Dad's had a word with the Dog Warden who says if Dad can find out where these dogs live, he'll go and talk to the owners and threaten them with prosecution if it carries on.
Had a great outing with Dad just before Christmas. He had made contact with the RNLI at Berwick, and they invited me down to their Christmas meeting. Had a fantastic fun time. Met the guys who rescued me - one of them was near tears and said that seeing me well and happy was the best Christmas present he could have. The guy on the left in the picture is the one who actually fished me out of the water. A great evening.
Well, my friends, it's goodbye to all for now. Thank you for looking after me till Dad and Mum came for me. God bless.............JACK
Bear - Rehomed July 2011
Just a quick update on Bear before Christmas....Bear has continued to settle in well and is much loved by us all. He loves his walks around the farm and has also been to the beach; he and Rick have become especially close. We certainly wouldn’t be without him now!
We hope you like the photos...will send some more in the New Year, these were rather hastily taken!
Many thanks for all you did for Bear
Will keep you up to date
Merry Christmas!
Buster & Annie - Rehomed 2002 and 2007

rare sight to see them sleeping together.
Dennis and Mog - Rehomed November 2010
Now that we have had them a year we thought you might like to know how Dennis and Mog are getting on. I’m pleased to say that the answer is really well.
Mog is a sweet little soul and has been from the start. Dennis, on the other hand, was an aggressive biter who could be quite scary. He gave off a feeling of desperately needing love though so we just kept at him until we managed to love him out of the biting and he has become a lovely cat, friendly and chatty. He decided to be the dominant cat in the household which largely consists of moving Mog out of wherever he’s lying so that he, Dennis can lie there instead. Moggley has a variety of favoured spots so he just moves into another one. There can be silent wrestling between them and Mog occasionally launches himself at Dennis but it doesn’t last long and nobody gets hurt. For the most part they get along very well and can usually be found sleeping next to each other on the sofa.
Mog was very brave about going outside and ventured out in a couple of feet of snow on the second day we had them. It took Dennis much longer [for obvious reasons] and when he did start going out it was just for seconds, then the door had to be left open, then when it was closed he was constantly testing to see if it would be opened again. Now he’s quite happy outside though never far from the kitchen. He spent the summer lying in a box on the terrace enjoying the sun. Moggley is nervous in other ways; he has a great fear of being trapped between doors but we all just stand well back when he’s going somehere. Even Sam the dog knows to give him room. Sam and Mog have cordial relations but Dennis and Sam just tolerate each other.
We have managed to reduce Dennis’ medication to half a tablet a day and the vet says his chest sounds very good. Both cats have filled out and have lovely silky fur. They’re interested in and friendly with visitors and both very playful. All in all I think they’re very secure and happy. They’re lovely cats and I’m glad we chose them.
Milo - Rehomed August 2010
Hi, We have had Milo for a year now and he has been fantastic.He settled in straight away and loves to play with the children. Having lots of long walks and especially loves the beach with his ball (the wetter the better!).
He is a pleasure to have, thankyou.
Geordie - Rehomed November 2010
hiya folks, hope you are all well & all you do goes well, geordie`s had 3 supa weeks playing running swimming eating & drinks lots of water, we haven`t seen geordies girlfriend now for 4 weeks & she hasn`t written, he has many admirers maybe he could play this field, co`s he plays in all the others. ha ha. geordie`s coat is turning brown in places with the sun he is out for long periods, today one of his short walks lasted 3 hours, he wants more & so do we,
Dougall (PKA Dexter) - Rehomed September 2011
Just a note to say a big thank you for letting us have this fantastic wee boy, he is every-thing one could wish for. He has settled in so well and now loves all his new pals. He seems so happy in himself, going walks and having a smashing time in the garden.
Once again we want to thank you for this wee treasure
Cheers
Ken& Helen & Dougall
PS Loves the car
Dexter - Rehomed May 2011
Dexter has fit in really well and he gets on with our other cat Molly they play around especially late at night and it sounds like a herd of elephants running around. He sleeps most of the day and comes alive at night he loves sleeping on your face and also loves climbing the curtains as you can see in one of the pics. Thanks B.A.R.K for all the help!! :)
Barney (pka Spike) rehomed August 2011
Hi Ladies
Just to let you know that Spike (now known as Barney) is settling in well. He loves the beach but has not venutured into the sea yet.
Attached are recent pictures of Barney 'posing'!
Rose - rehomed 2008
Dear all at BARK.
It's been just over three years now since we took home Rose, the gorgeous
lurcher. She is absolutely lovely! She settled in right away, and she's such a
softie when it comes to cuddles! She enjoys her walks, but loves a good run in
the fields we take her to! She is a completely different dog compared to the
shy, nervous one we took home. Her confidence with other dogs has increased a
lot, and she's even got a few friends in the neighbourhood! And she's never
afraid to go after the rabbits, but we think she prefers furry little squirrels
to chase! She loves coming on holidays with us, and there's a photo of her
chilling in the sunshine attached. Overall, she is doing really really well.
Thank you for bringing such a beautiful dog into our lives, The Hogg Family xxxx
Judy - rehomed June 2011
Judy attended our dog show in early August. We couldnt believe the transformation in a dog. She was so well behaved around the other dogs and walked beautifully to heal in the ring. She won Best dog over 8 which meant she got through to the Best in Show and WON!!!! Well done Judy and well done to her owners who gave an old dog a chance.
For more pictures of our pet show please check out Fundraising & Events
Basil and Louie - rehomed August 2010
Over a year since we re-homed basil and louie and they are so lovely we wouldn't be without them.
Judy - rehomed June 2011
Judy is as happy as can be and we are delighted to see her content with her new life. She loves pottering around the garden with us and has assumed responsible leadership of the the other two dogs, who now follow her sedately on our walks rather than disappearing off rabbitting (well, usually...) . We had her weighed today and found that she has put on over 3 kilo's in 7 weeks, despite a 4 mile walk/run off the lead every day. Her tummy is fine, no upsets at all. At this rate we will have to cut back her diet so that she doesn't get overweight. She is responding well to Megan Young's Good Citizen classes too and loves her bones. We have discovered that "bed moving" which she did in kennels is a response to stress - she does it here when there is thunder which upsets her. Thank you so much for the opportunity to give her what seems to be her ideal retirement home. She has such impeccable manners in the house too and it is a joy to share our lives with her.
Flynn - rehomed July 2011
Hi Jan and all at BARK,
I have attached some photos of Flynn, the beautiful lurcher we rehomed three weeks ago.
He has settled well and has certainly got his feet under the table! He is a lovely natured dog who 'rubs along with' Milly our 11yr old lurcher. He has adapted well living on the farm, no probs with livestock [ as yet], he is off lead and seems to enjoy his crazy dashes round the fields and in the river...umm, very wet messy dog!!
So pleased we could give him a loving home!
Kind regards
Ashley & Peter
Patch pka Chalky - rehomed October 2010
Hi there, we re-homed Patch (who was called Chalky by his previous owners, but Patch on your records- very confusing!!) from you in October last year and I sent you some pictures around Xmas time of him settling into his new home with us.
I have attached a few more recent pics of him zooming around and being a real show off!! (as well as one of him with his new best friend Basil who is my mothers dog)
He has settled in really well with us now and loves coming to work with me every day. He has turned into a real yard dog and loves nothing more than trying (and sometimes succeeding!!) in catching mice!
All the best
Lynsey
Sabby - rehomed June 2009
Sadly shortly after Sabby was rehomed her owner passed away. She gave her such a lot of a pleasure in such a short time the family decided to keep her themselves. Sabby certainly looks happy in these photos.
Hi Bark,
Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how Sabby is doing. She settled
with us very quickly, after taking her in under difficult circumstances.
She is definitely one of the family
She loves to swim and is full fun.
Thanks and regards

Buddy and Star - rehomed (to separate homes) 2009 & 2010
Buddy as honorary member of the Ambler Pack
How we got all 6 of them to pose, I do not know - ...2 of your previous charges ( Buddy and Star ) looking relaxed and happy.
Lula - rehomed March 2011
Just to let you know that Lola continues to thrive. My son Michael and
his partner Rachael (both confirmed cat lovers) have fallen for her in
a big way. This has resulted in her getting lots of very long walks
and even talking her to the top of Cheviot! Thanks again for my
lovely girl and keep up the good work.
Beardsley (AKA SWift) - Rehomed April 2010
Dear BAR
We have had Beardsley (FKA Swift) for a year now.
We absolutly love him! He's spoiled rotten. It's great to see him running full pelt down the beach.
He actually comes back now as well!
Thank you so much for saving him. He's stretch accross the double bed fast asleep at the moment.
Regards.
Tara - Rehomed 2005
Dear BARK
Hi there,
My family and I got Tara from Bark 6 years ago and it has been the best thing we have ever done. Tara is really energetic and loves coming down to the horses and running about in the horses fields. She also loves playing with her favourite green ball and getting spoiled.
Jack and Lucy - Rehomed April 2011
Dear BARK
We adopted Jack and Lucy a couple of months ago and thought we would send you some pictures of them. They have settled in really well, Jack being the most confident and friendly, Lucy is still a little bit shy but she will come over and take food out of our hands. They love getting out into the garden in their run.
They are both great rabbits and seem to be really happy in their new home and they are loved very much by all the family.
Thank you very much
The Dunn family
Betty - Rehomed September 2010
Betty was originally a stray who ran around for three weeks before finally being caught by our friends at Beal Garage. She came bak to visit in May and her coat is so shiney you almost need sun glasses. As you can see from the photos she is a very pampered dog.
Lucy (pka Miley) - Rehomed November 2010
Here is lucy (pka miley) who has now been with me almost 4 months. she is a really happy cat as you can see. most of her time is spent chasing about in the field nearby or in the garden. she still has the odd mad phase of running up curtains and hurtling about the house which is great fun to watch! otherwise she finds the best spots for naps - of which there are many! thanks again to all at bark.
Willow PKA Snickers - Rehomed September 2010
Hello everyone at Bark. Just a note to let you know that Willow (aka Snickers) is very happy here. She lives with another rescue cat and the two of them are great buddies. They sleep together, play together and she loves washing him. We think that's because of the kittens she had. She is a very gentle nice-natured cat, never bites, hisses or does anything bad. She loves the children and loves her toy mice, feather sticks and loves sitting in boxes, paper shopping bags. She loves going outside but doesn't go far. If Lucky her mate gets locked in the garage or shed she'll meow outside wherever he is until we realise what we've done. She's a very loyal, loving cat and she has made our home complete! Thank you to everyone at Bark.
Borys - Rehomed February 2010

Sooty & Sweep
Sooty and Sweep were an inseparable pair that came into kennels looking for a safe and loving home. A very happy pair we think you'll agree.
Susie Rehomed - July 2010
Susie the deaf Dalmatian visiting the kennels in March 2011. She now has over 25 hand signels which she knows and responds to.
Hi just a quick note to let you know Basil and Louie are fab and lovely, we feel like we have always had them. They settled in so quickly it is great having them around!
Hi just a quick update on Daisy 9 months on, she is so adorable and funny, we couldn't be without her, she makes us smile every day. Thank you so much x.
Here is a pic of Katie now known as Minty who came to live with us in early December - so happy to see her Mother cat has also found a home - she is totally crackers and carries all kinds of things round in her mouth, follows us like a little shadow and pounces on our feet in bed - adores the children who throw endless ping pong balls for her - the perfect cat - thanks to all at Bark for taking good care of her and her family.
We've had Faye for about a year now, And altho shes as mad as a hatter we love her to bits, Shes such a loving friendly & playful dog.
She brings alot of Livelyness into the house as she constantly wants attention. If anyone comes threw the front door she jumps up into there arms, She loves cuddles, She's a very lazy dog as she spends half of her days either lyin cuddled up on the sheepskin rug or on her fluffy pillow next to the heater, She loves long walks but insistes to stop and smell everythig she comes to, Shes just a joy to have about the house. Well keep you updated :)
Hi Bark,
Just a few pics of the 4 degus we adopted from yourselves. They are doing well
and slowly getting used to us, they get let out of their cage for at least a
hour every night which they love usually involves lots of chattering,running and
jumping. Solo now climbs on us whilst sat on the floor and young ones are
starting to the same. There is pic of their new cage which is a fab size for
them, Solo is the one sat in the food bowl, he's definitely the cheekiest. Will
continue to send you pics to keep you updated.
hello all
here is miley on day 2 ... well i did say make yourself at home!!! she has spent of most of her 2 days in the airing cupboard top shelf or in the laundry basket in the wardrobe but is more friendly in the evenings. will let you know how she gets on. i love her!
best wishes
Hi to all at BARK,
just a little note to say that it's been a very quick 2 years today since Marfyn (Boswell) came to live in our family home. It's fair to say that he was difficult to manage initially, however, with perserverance he has become a central member of our family and an absolute joy to have around. He can still be a little antisocial around certain dogs, but we are working on it!! His recall is brilliant now and he is able to walk around the farm and quiet beaches off lead (and be trusted not to chase the wildlife!!) Marfyn comes to work at the Blindman showroom on Bridge Street everyday and just loves the attention he gets (if we had a £1 for every person who"coo coos" at him through the window then we could retire)!!
So, we would like once again to say a big thank you to all your very hard working staff who looked after Marfyn during his stay at the kennels and allowed us to rehome him, it made us feel very humble when we were chosen as his forever family.
We have attached a few recent photos of Marfyn.

Meeko (aka John) rehomed March 2010
It's been about ten months since I adopted meeko, formerly known as
John, and he is getting on fine. He's very affectionate and loves to
hunt and play. His newest challenge is attempting to catch the
pheasant that comes into our garden! He's great friends with our dog
and two neighbour cats. He's really well behaved and even comes when
you shout on him - though admittedly probably just because he's after
food! Overall he's doing great, thank you so much for him. I don't
think I could have chosen a more lovely cat.
Paddy rehomed November 2009
Here is paddy a year later he is great x thank you
See my brother Moss (PKA Yogi) below
Patch rehomed October 2010
Hi there, back in October we rehomed Chalky/Patch from you, a little JRT x.
I have attached a few pics of him in his new home to let you see how he was getting on.
His previous owners had changed his name from Patch to Chalky, but we have decided on Patch as he responded much better to Patch than Chalky!
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New year!
All the best
Patch rehomed August 2010
Hiya! Here's a wee e-postcard from Patch who has just been on a wee holiday to Islay & Jura. He has settled right in and he and Lily have become quite inseperable!
Best wishes
Cathy, George, Lily & Patch
Ruben rehomed August 2010
Just thought I would write to let you know how well Ruben has settled in. He loves to spend his time in the nursery playing with my little boy. In the afternoons he takes on the role of trained killer, and attempts to reduce the bird population. Only to return home at tea time to curl up in front of the fire. Thanks to all the staff at bark for giving us the oppertunity to share our home with such a special cat.
Bailey rehomed September 2009
Dear All
It was about a year ago we rehomed Bailey and he has really settled in and shown his true personality. Bailey is so loving, friendly and happy it's hard to give him a row if he does something wrong. All he has to do is look at me with his puppy dog eyes and I melt.
Bailey has come into his own and loves his runs in the field whether it be with his tennis ball, football or neighbouring dog Megan (who was also rehomed from BARK). He is so good that he gets to run off the lead and never goes far. He always comes to heel when called and that's fantastic as we were told because he's a terrier he couldn't be let off the lead (but we trust each other and that makes all the difference). Since he's been with us we have foundout he is actually a Patterdale Terrier (not a Lakeland like originally thought). I wanted to give another update because it's been a year he's been here and he loves it here and we love him being with us.
Thank you to your centre for the work you have done for many animals and letting Bailey fill the gap we had in our lives when our other dog Bouncer passed away.
Gem (PKA Gremlin) rehomed July 2010
Pictured here is Gem (formerly Gremlin). We adopted her from Bark on the 1st of July 2010, as you can see she has settled into our home very well, and is a friendly loveable cat.
Best wishes to all at Bark.
Roxy rehomed July 2010
roxy has settled in as if she has been with us for years.after losing our
springer spaniel titch in may very suddenly we never thought we could ever
love another dog again.roxy has proved us wrong. she is the most loving
and affectionate little dog you could ever meet. everybody loves her ,our
eleven grandchildren are besotted by her.she loves to play especially with
a ball and would run all day chasing. she is up over the hills every
morning for a walk and she goes mad chasing everything in sight. her
social skills with other dogs are improving.when she is not on the lead
other dogs dont seem to bother her as much. we must give thanks to the
staff at bark for the work that they do.without them we would never have
found roxy.
Katie rehomed August 2009
I have had Katie a year this Friday 23rd August. Got her as a kitten from you. Sending you a picture to let you see how she has turned out. She is a lovely cat, gets on well with our other cats. She is into everything and ful of fun.
Faye rehome Jan 2010
Faye's gettin realy big now she follows everyone everywhere and will insist on waiting out side the toilet door for u, and will get half way down the stairs and stop til your right behind her everyone loves her shes gettin better on the lead and isnt pulling as much as she use to, she barks at birds and trys to catch them even tho this normally leads to her landing on her head! she lies on her sholders and nudge ur leg until u push her over, xxx
Pictures are of Fay March 2010 and July 2010
Ahoska (PKA Tia) & Buddy (PKA Marley) Rehomed Nov 2009 & June 2010
Hi Folks,
Just a few pics to show you how well Ahsoka & Buddy are doing.
Ahsoka has been a lovely dog since we brought her home back in November. She’s been everywhere with us (including camping in the car on a hospital visit!). She quickly learnt her place in our pack and within a couple of months she was able to walk without a lead by our sides. She will go running ahead of us on command, and then return immediately once we use our whistle. She’s even learnt to bow very politely in front of us when she needed to go outside. All in all we soon got her settled down. Buddy is a great addition to our pack and he’s fitting in nicely. He walks on lead brilliantly and is learning to let us know when he needs out. Ahsoka and Buddy play really nicely and we’ve recently introduced Buddy to swimming. Ahsoka loves it and she soon coaxed him into trying it out! I’ve yet to catch them on camera as it’s been a big splash… Oh and as you’ll see they’ve just recently taken to sharing Ahsoka’s bed too.
Jet (PKA Gus) Feb 2010 2010
Jet (aka Gus) rehomed February 2010. Remember this little chap? He is now the proud owner of 2 Good Citizen awards, bronze AND silver! Now he is going for gold! I hope you enjoy the snaps....just a brief look at some of Jet's fav. activities. Thank you for introducing me to this super little dog. We are enjoying life together. See you soon.
Rosie June 2010
I just thought I would give you all a quick update on Rosie. Although it has only been 4 days since I picked her up we have bonded really well. She loves coming to work and everyone and I mean everyone has fallen in love with her. We have a child gate over the office door and all the residents stop to see how she is on their way past.
All the staff are bringing in treats for her so I shall have to be careful she doesn't get too many!!!
On behalf of all the residents, staff and most of all me I just want to say a big thank-you for letting her come to live with me.
I have enclosed some pictures of Rosie at home and work.
Buddy rehomed Sept 2009
I havent been in for a while but hopefully I will see you soon. You'll remember me on Open Days - I hid round the back!
I definitely wasnt in a rush to find a new home and return to the scarey world outside.
I got to know my new family slowly before I came home with them nearly 10 months ago now and I am doing well. I am not Buddy - No -Mates now as I have lots of dog friends and love them chasing me . Only Dillon can keep up with me! Fight night ( sorry, Dog Training ) has stopped for the summer but not before I passed my Intermediate test and I do have friends there too now. One of your other dogs is there with me now - Star . She's a beauty!
Here are some 2 photos of me doing my favourite things - playing ball and going to the beach.
love Buddy ...woof!
Oliver rehomed July 2010
We came down on Tuesday and collected a little apricot kitten (Black Spot) from the centre. We thought we would drop you an email and let you know how "Oliver" is getting on. He has settled in really well, he has even stood up to our two JRT which really makes us laugh. Our other cat Jack and him seem to be friends which is good, so glad to report a happy house all round.
I have attached a couple of photo's of him.
Spot rehomed July 2010
Hello!
Just wanted to let you all know that so far SO good! Spot is a super kitten and is so good! He has happily allowed Henry to manhandle him and is curious about meg (the dog)! Hissed a couple of times but was really unfazed! I can not believe how wonderful he is! He is using his litter tray and has found a fantastic hiding place from the children when he needs a little peace -inside the back of our sofa! He is a super and confident little kitten. I can't believe how well he has settled in so far!
Would like to say such a BIG thank you.
Mog (PKA PussPuss)
Hello,
Its been 8 months now since we rehomed Puss Puss (renamed Mog!) and we thought we would let you know how she is getting on. As you can see from the photos, Mog has completely made herself at home and settled in very quickly! She loves to run around outside, chasing birds and climbing trees. Mog also loves her laid-back lifestyle and enjoys nothing more that chilling out on the wall in the sun or getting cosied up by the fire in her bed, depending on the weather! She is such a friendly, playful, happy cat and we can't imagine our home without her.
Cupar
Cupar re visiting the centre. She has settled really well and has almost got her Gold Citizen Award but she can't bear to be without her owner for the whole 2 minute sit, stay, owner out the way.
Dougal Rehomed Dec 2009.
Thought you might like to see Dougal with his Bronze Good Citizen Award! He loves his walks and is good at recall and kind to other dogs, not moithering the old ones and gets the message if he's not wanted! His best pal Gail we were told hated other dogs, but she loves The Boy and they have great fun together.
The tester was impressed with Dougal and the all other rescue dogs who sat the test. She helped me train my first collie 30 years ago!
Buffy Rehomed Mar 2010.
Hello everyone at BARK. Thank you for taking care of me till I found a new place to live. I have a new friend called Purdy, she was a bit stand-offish to begin with but with my masculine charm I have won her affection. The new people seem OK, foods good, plenty of treats, lots of knees to cuddle into, freedom to roam the surrounding countryside. They do not however seem to appreciate my gifts of the occasional rodent...strange behaviour! Thought you might like some photos of me in my new home. lots of love Basil

Amber (PKA Val) Rehomed Feb 2010
Dear Bark
Hi just a message to let you know how val renamed Amber is getting on. As you can see she didn't take long to make herself at home. For her being a ferrel cat she came round very quickly and loves playing fetch with balls of paper or hair bobbles and brings it back to you like a dog would. My older cat Dodge took a while to accept her but now they sleep together with us in bed every night and give each other baths, its great to watch them getting on at last. She can be very affectionate at times and will follow us to see what we are doing. She loves to sit on my knee while im on the computer and she will chase the cursor on the screen and purr away happily.

Marfyn Gall - check him out on facebook.
Hello,
We wanted to let you know how Rumplestiltskin is getting along since we got him from you last summer.
He has settled in really well, and gets along well with our other cat Ozzy and it looks like romance is blossoming between them (you may have to buy a new hat!).
We were also amazed how he reacted to our dog, Meg. When he arrived he just swaggered past her and they too have developed quite a close bond, he definitely puts her in her place!
His personality is shining through, and we are enjoying getting to know all about his favourite past times which include sitting in any box, having a snooze in the cow shed, and chilling out on the radiator.
We are all very happy with him, he really is part of the family now and he is getting excited about our new arrival of chickens!
Thank you
Charlie rehomed Jan 2010.
Bailey rehomed Sept 2009.
Hi there all who do wonderful work at B.A.R.K.
We rehomed Bailey (and have kept the name he was given) and how he has settled in here. He is such a loving little Terrier it's a shame he was in the kennels to start off with. He loves his walks in the neighbouring field (always on the extendable lead) and out in the back garden he loves to fetch and bring back his ball. He gets to have a bit of play in the house too. He gets on well with the neighbours dogs too (they are bitches) and he likes to play about, he's in his element here.
Bailey loves his biscuits and must always have a good selection in his bowl, but looks forward to his dinner time when he gets a tin of caesar (he absolutely devours it) and always has a clean bowl. Bailey has been well taught before and is a very obedient, caring and loving wee soul and we love him so much.
Here are a few pictures of him so far, and I hope you agree he's found his place for keeps.
Many thanks on giving us the chance to love and give another animal a loving home.
Talulah rehome Oct 09.
Tululah(Ula) has settled in well.She loves being brushed and being made a fuss of.She is slightly apprehensive when exploring the garden and will only explore when accompanied.

Hi B.A.R.K.,
It's fudge, the lurcher cross that was with you January 2009. I just thought I'd let you know that I have settled in fine and love my new home.
I was a bit frightened of my new sibling tynie (Tortoise) but now we get on great. I enjoy my long walks with my new family and I get lots of love and attention.
I also thought I would let you know I have a new friend Mr Fish, see the photo attached, and I cuddle him at night to keep me safe.
Bye, lots of love Fudge xxxxxx
Rusty rehome.
Hey all :))
Just thought we'd drop you a quick email to say a big thanx again for letting Rusty be part of our family. She has settled in perfectly now and has come on leaps and bounds. When Rusty gets off the lead and loves playing fetch with the girls. She is very loving and affectionate and has come right out her shell and is really quite the wee character still loving a gd cuddle on the couch after a hard day playing. She also got a new friend when my boyfriend moved in and as you can see they get on perfectly, hes done wonders for her confidence :) Thank you so much again from the bottom of her hearts, Rusty was definitly just what our family needed :)
Coffee rehomed Jan 2010.
Please find attached some photos of the rabbit we adopted from you recently. Her name was Coffee but she is now called Jemima.
She lives in the house along with our Border Collie and has a life of luxury. She has her own chair and is now famous on Facebook as she sits with her new Mum Zoe on the laptop after school every day!
Jack (PKA Norman) rehomed Oct 2009
Just a quick note with a pic, to let you know that Jack is settling in after his first day.
He is a very "enthusiastic" companion, and has been to the beach today as well as up a couple of hills!!
Thanks for your all of your help.
Just a wee hello from Ruby and Lily.
We just wanted to let you know that we are settling in just fine with our new mummy and daddy and our big sisters Chloe and Alice. We were a wee bit unsure at first of our new surroundings and all the attention we were getting, but we're getting used to it now. I love to get my tummy rubbed and the top of my head scratched, it makes me happy. But Lily is still quite shy except at meal times, she comes with me and says please to mummy for her dinner. Hopefully she'll come round soon. We have found lots of fun places to hide and climb and we have lots of new toys to play with. We've had a bit of a smashing time so mummy has moved all obstacles out of our way so that we can play.
Lots of love
Ruby & Lily x x
Hi, just thought I'd drop you a quick line to let you know how Skye is getting along.
She is the most pleasant girl, loves everyone and everything, she's full of mischief and gallops round like a mad thing. She greets everyone with a gift - doesn't matter what - toys, shoes, socks, you name it and when her tail wags (which is nearly all the time) then her whole body wags too! She is perfect in the bar and greets everyone like she's known them all her life and out for a walk she is brilliant both on and off the lead. In the snow she had a great time, bouncing like a spring lamb! There's no bother taking tablets and she always clears her dish, which she never starts until told to, by the way.
She is devoted to her beloved pal and sister, little Winnie. They do everything together. All in all she's just a wonderful girl and companion.
Ziggy rehomed Sept 2009
We hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and were not troubled too
much by the snow!
Ziggy had a wonderful holiday - the house was quite busy on Christmas day
with lots of new people for him to see. They were all warned not to try and
stroke or pet him in advance and they all complied. Ziggy met each one at
the door with a wagging tail and then once he was satisfied that they were
no threat he just sat quietly in the middle of the floor and ignored them.
By the end of the day everyone remarked on how relaxed and obedient he was
which made us very proud of him.
Santa Claus was very good to him and he had a pile of gifts to open - and
each one was sniffed and personally unwrapped by himself. It was comical as
he took each new toy into the centre of the room and added it to a pile.
Once complete he lay in front of the pile, picking up each toy in turn, then
placing it carefully back before picking up the next - this went on for a
good hour.
He really enjoys snow and being outside with me when I am clearing the drive
- it makes the job three times harder as I tend to shovel the same bit of
snow several times as he leaps up to catch it in mid air!!
He has also enjoyed his first bath - yes I mean enjoyed it! He stood
quietly as I wet him with the shower head and stretched with pleasure as the
soap was rubbed in. If I can do that to him I have no fears for anything
else that we do together.
PS Ziggy is sitting with his head on my lap while I write this.......and
snoring gently!!
John rehomed Feb 2010
Hello,
I brought home John the kitten with me today and just thought I'd let you know how he's settled so far. Well, we renamed him Meeko for various reasons and at first he his a lot. We let him come out in his own time though and now he is running round happily and purring all the time. He has come out of his shell lots and though he doesn't sit for long when held he loves to be stroked and laps up the attention. He found his bed fairly quickly and happy sleeps in it - he doesn't want to leave it now I've put a lovely hot water bottle under the cushion for him! He is going to be a very spoiled cat!!
His favourite game so far is chasing the furry bit on the end of a stick! I am amazed as he will stand on his back legs for about twenty seconds when it's held above him. He had had a brief encounter with the dog which went well but we will introduce them more tomorrow.
I shall keep you updated about all his progress and have also attached a picture of him in his lovely bed.
Thank you so much,
pic of annie and buster in snow -thye were outside all day yesterday and annie at xmas new toy-destroyed in seconds
thye are both doing well and buster is accepting annie more and more each day-sleep next to each otehr now
Oliver and Ollie Rehomed Feb 2010
.....have settled in really well, are both out and about today for food and
attention and have decided that the dogs are too stupid to be worried about.
We're absolutely delighted.
Susie rehomed Feb 2010
Sadly Suzie died early in 2011. We are very grateful to her new owners for giving her the chance of a safe and loving home that she deserved.
I have just been reading the lovely updates from those animals who have been lucky enought to have found lovely new homes. I thought I would share my update to!
I got Louie from B.A.R.K in November 2008 when he was a 9 week old ball of fluff, he has grown into a beautiful, friendly boy who is a wonderful addition to my family. He has settled with my other 2 cats wonderfully and I am consider myself VERY lucky to have found him.......
Keep up the good work B.A.R.K so that other animals can make other families as happy as Louie has made mine.
Millie rehomed Jan 2010
Just to let you know she is getting on fine. She has doubled her size since leaving BARK but she is still a tiny thing.She has met lots of dogs and owners and is always delighted to meet anyone.She is well known in Coldstream for all the right reasons!
She has her second puppy class tonight...although the smallest she shows no signs of nerves! just impatience that she cannot play with all the dogs.
She can now sit on command,come back (although still on an extender lead) and is nearly housetrained.
She experienced the beach for the first time on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
She has made a big difference to our lives and we are thoroughly enjoying her company.
Hi Folks
