Read how some of our dogs came to us and how they are now.
2010 sees SHAK changing focus once more to concentrate our efforts on those dogs that need our
help the most."Real Rescue" is an extension of our Retirement Scheme
which provides sanctuary for
those lost souls that have been so badly abused and neglected that the outside world is a traumatic
place for them.
Concentrating our resources on the rehabilitation, environmental enrichment, physical and mental
stimulation of dogs that would otherwise be forgotten about and often euthanized is a natural evolution
for the charity. This means that as well as not taking dogs from the general public we NO LONGER re home
SHAK dogs to the public.
Fully assessed and rehabilitated dogs may be placed into a "Forever Foster Home" where the emphasis will
be on providing the dog with a stable environment, appropriate diet, positive socialisation, good physical
exercise and participation in training classes or a dog activity such as agility or flyball and offering
comprehensive support and advice from our forever foster team.
