To say I am obsessed with ‘Rodders’ is an understatement! He has been through so much for such a young pup and to see him now, with his giant paws shuffling with excitement is just about the best thing. Well done Niall and thank you ❤️

This is awesome 🥰🥰🥰 Rodney is lucky to have you as his guardian angel, Niall!!! Will you consider keeping him on the land so he doesn’t get separated from his bestie McMuffin?

Rodney reminds me of Dobby in Harry Potter stories. Gentle and loving. It’s great to see the improvement and how he is so happy to be alive. Look forward to seeing his character emerge even more. Every dog (& human) deserves a chance. You have given him that chance as you have with the other dogs. Kindness & compassion really does make the world a better place ❤️❤️❤️

Impossible not to fall in love with this little guy!😍❤️

So much love for Rodney! I love watching his progress!

He is the harsh reality- people need to see this, so don’t ever feel guilty for sharing stories like this. We are all here to support you and these beautiful dogs, through the good times and bad- YOU need the support too! You can’t always post just to make people feel good, you’re raising awareness and at times this will be heartbreaking! Those who care - will understand! (Thankfully in Derek’s case it’s brought so much happiness to see him defy the odds stacked against him.)

Keep sharing! Thank you for all you do! X

Just when you think you can't find a more needy or characterful dog you find another one to touch our hearts! Amazing stuff, Niall.

Oh my heart ... yet again I've fallen in love with a dog I'll never meet. He is adorable, and to see him shuffling with happiness when he see's you brings tears to my eyes. It's been said a thousand times, but well done Niall, and thank you - and give Rodney a big cuddle from me (once he's not sore anymore). xx

Another wee puppy who has captured our hearts. I am glad you did share Rodney's story from the beginning as we can see the work + effort you put it in. He's a wee fighter and he's a wee character. I just absolutely love him ❤️

Poor sweet angel! Such a crappy start to life. He deserves the world and you have slowly but surely started giving it to him. Thank you. I will donate more this month for Rodney. We love you, Rodney! ❤️❤️❤️

Niall, I’m new to finding you on social media but I can say that you’ve really touched my heart. I love the way you talk to and about the dogs and what you do. Rodney is a super special guy just like you. I will be supporting you just as soon as I can.
