We caught up with Ozzy and Casey today, the siblings who suffered terrible burns.

They’re growing fast and have all but forgotten their ordeal.

Casey is running like the wind on his three legs, and Ozzy’s fur is growing back beautifully. 💛

Aren’t they just adorable?

We caught up with Bello, who we treated for entropion eye, a painful condition where the eyelid turns inward.

There’s a small risk of recurrence, but we’re happy to report Bello’s doing great! 🐾💛

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we want to say this clearly

People in animal rescue can’t just “take care of themselves”

They need support, kindness, and understanding not trolls, cruelty, or blame. 💚🐾

Compassion should flow both ways.

We caught up with brave Roxy this week 💔

She endured a botched spay before coming to us. Our skilled vets repaired the damage, and she’s now fully recovered 💕

Please, when donating to other organisations, make sure their vets are competent, don’t pay for suffering. #spayandneuter

For generations, Kangals were prized in Sivas and rarely allowed to leave the region.

They were gifted only as great honours to visiting dignitaries.

Today, Turkey recognises the Kangal as a national treasure immortalised in statues, stamps, and festivals across the country.

Kangals aren’t herders, they’re guardians.

Their duty is to live among the flock, ever watchful.

A Kangal warns first with its deep bark; if danger persists, it acts with precision and courage.

Named after the town of Kangal in Sivas, central Turkey, the breed was forged in a harsh land of wolves, bears, and jackals.
