Great bunch of people dedicated to helping our four-legged friends find a forever home. They also have boarding and a small shop

Myself and my girlfriend rehomed Buddy one week ago and we are very impressed with our new dog (Buddy, Shar Pei) as well as the overall experience.
Shaun was Buddy's assigned walker and his primary carer during his time at the home. As soon as I met him, I could see he was very passionate about rehoming Buddy and despite us already having a breed of dog quite different in size to Buddy, he put in maximum effort to socialise the dogs. Taking Buddy long walks to tire him before meeting our other dog and doing everything possible to help them get along paid off as they took to each other surprisingly well.
Shaun was always cautious and careful about Buddy and took time to ensure we were a good match. Something I'd say to anybody visiting the centre in the hopes of a new dog, please don't assume that if a dog is a little boisterous, mouthy or loud at the home, that they won't calm down. I visited with my friend on one visit who thought Buddy was too much for Maggie (our french bulldog) and I have taken great pleasure in proving to him how calm and respectful Buddy is around the home.
I am absolutely shocked at how quickly Buddy settled and made his home is own. He also showed manners and obeyed commands immediately which is only a testament to the efforts of Shaun and the rest of the kennel team who were fantastic with him. He definitely has an underlying discipline which came into play as soon as he entered our home.
We were also given lots of information from Shaun about where to go next such as training classes, being firm and were also advised to be very careful about Buddy off the lead. With that, we have been training him on his recall and I'm sure Shaun will be pleased that in a safe fielded area we have managed to get Buddy recalling completely within one week.
I hope the team stays the way it is for a long time as I am already telling anyone who is looking for a new dog or cat how awesome the team is.
There is still a lot of time for things to play out, however, the first week has been such a breeze and we're very happy with our new dog.
Thanks so much!!

A nice place and they do a good job, would be better if they were more flexible with opening times, as it can be hard to get there before they close

The description on their website didn't match the dog. The dog turns out to be violent and aggressive towards people. The web site even says OK with older children ? Really. I also found the reception staff unhelpful. I filled out a form then was left to hang around. Whatever happened to , would you please take a seat and someone from the kennels will be with you shortly. Bad show girls. I know some of the staff are volunteers but others are paid. I noticed this isn't the only bad review.

I was down here this morning with my mother in law as she has been wanting a dog for a while. She found a dog she really liked and we spent some time with him. We were told to bring down the other people who live in the house to make sure they got on with the dog and if they did the dog was there's. So we go back down this afternoon the other members of the family get on great with the dog. We are then told that the dog is not suitable. How can it change in such space of time. From being a perfect match to not suitable. Obviously something funny going on here. If I could give no stars I would
