Pixie Pie
When Pixie came to us it was obvious he was in a lot of pain on one of his back legs. He would snap when we went near it. After Xrays we saw why, his hip joint was causing a lot of problems for him. Now he has had an operation to relieve the pain he is much happier. It has been decided he will stay at Happy Days now with the friends he has made here.
Mirella
Mirella is our special girl, she waited over a year before she traveled to join us. She was not happy in the home we found for her, she had bonded with some of our dogs here, so we decided she could stay with us where she is happy.
Harry
Harry, everyone’s favourite, such a sad boy when he came to us from a puppy farm. Jill did extensive work
with him to make him the boy he is today. He comes into dog club twice week with his 2 handlers and amazes
us with the things he has learnt over the years. Harry will never be homed as he could not cope in a house.
Tess
Tess is a lovely collie who was owned by Val, one of our Dog Club members. Sadly Val
died suddenly. A letter was found by her family asking them if any thing happened to
her to please take Tess to Jill at Happy Days. We hope Val would be happy that we
have done our best for her little friend. She comes into class to spend time with her
old friends on Saturday mornings.
Pauline
Sonny/Pauline was found in Romania when one of our volunteers was out there visiting one of the shelters we have animals from.
Sadly she was so young only about 4 weeks when found and missed those vital weeks with her Mum. She is very nervous especially
of men. Jill has been working with her and she is a lot better, but it has been decided that she should stay at Happy Days where she is
happy and can live stress free.
Faith
Faith came to Happy Days from Romania to be a Grannie for Harry. He is only happy while he has a lovely old GSD Grannie to be with. She is a lovely girl, they spend a lot of time playing on the yard together.
Nita
Nita came to Happy Days after Jill saw her photo on the internet. She had been found pinned under a tree
in Romania. She had been there for 2 or 3 days and had a very bad open fracture of her front leg. It was already
infected so had to be amputated. She was a very frightened girl and would bite anyone who came near her.
Jill arranged to have her transported, she knew she had to help her. After many months she allowed Jill to
touch her, the rest is history, she is now one of Jills best dogs and works with Jill doing behavioural work.
She had changed the lives of many dogs that have come to Jill with their owners for help.
She recently went with Jill and some of our team to Bangor University when Jill did a lecture about her
work with aggressive dogs, rescue and dog training. She sat in the middle of a crowd of students and
lapped up all the attention.
