Max (Dogs Trust West Calder, Scotland)
3/12/15 – Sad news today from Dogs Trust: ‘Sorry to bring you the sad news that Max our 11 year old Kelpie crossbreed has passed away. He was with his favourite carer, our Assistant Manager Kerrie. He had an illness but left in true fashion of avoiding a vet visit and had a morning walk and play with his best friend Biscuit. We are all devastated about this.’ Sleep well, old boy.

Mysterious Millie (Oldies Club Sponsor Dog)
10/02/2016 – Millie has sadly passed away :( Little Millie is something of an enigma and likes to be a lady of mystery, until she forgets herself for a moment and has a mad burst of playfulness or affection! Millie is a joy to get to know, but don’t rush her or expect her to want cuddles. Millie likes calm dogs and can live with older children. Oh, and her tail is said to resemble that of a platypus!

Due to Leo’s age and health concerns, we made the decision to place him in our Oldies Club sponsor dog scheme, which means he stays in his foster home on a permanent basis, with the charity covering his vet bills for the rest of his life.
