Buster
Having 'lost' our elderly dog we were looking for a playful
energetic dog for our family but also as a companion and a match
for our three year old dog Digger. We decided not to get a puppy
(as from experience they are such hard work, particularly when you
have a busy family life) so we approached Happy Breed to see what
dogs they had. There waiting for us was Buster, who had a similar
energy to our current dog. Buster has turned out to be THE perfect
match! Buster and Digger play and play for hours - indoors and out.
They love to run and chase each other in fields and woodlands and
play tug-of-war together indoors. All Buster needs is two good
walks a day and he settles quietly in the evening. Buster gives us
endless laughs and entertainment but also endless love with those
big brown eyes, lots of licks, snuggling on our laps and constant
happy tail thumping. He loves everyone on two legs or four legs and
they, in turn, all adore him. Such a happy and content dog with
boundless enthusiasm. He loves to run and play with our children
and participate in all their ball games (including puncturing the
occasional ball with his enthusiasm - but he is quickly forgiven
because he is so loveable). A perfect match for our family - we
love Buster loads and so does our other dog Digger. We would be
lost without him. Thank you so much to Happy Breed for bringing
this fantastic dog into our family!

Cindy
Before Cindy came into our lives, we had lost our dear dog 'JJ'
to cancer four months previously. At that sad time, like
everyone else says, I said "I can't have another dog"! I just
felt that I could not go through that heartbreak again, although I
have said that many times before - I believed I really meant it
this time!
Throughout my childhood and then married life, we always seemed
to have a dog. Weeks after saying that I would not have
another dog, I started to regret this, as I knew deep down that
sooner or later I would have another one.
At this time, we lived on a farm. All you could see from
our house was lush green fields and just down the lane was a long,
winding river - super for walks and super for dogs!
A few weeks later, my husband and I were looking through the
Friday Ad and, of course, we would not help but to have a quick
look at the dogs section. One ad stood out - it read 'Cindy
needs a new home' - It went on to say that Cindy was an 18 month
old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross and to contact Eve from Happy
Breed Rescue. Well you've guessed it - I rang Eve and we had
a nice chat and she kindly offered to bring Cindy over to us so we
could meet each other. As soon as I saw Cindy, I knew that
she would be staying! She was brindle coloured and just so
friendly - she even looked as though she was smiling at us!
Eve, who had been fostering Cindy, told us all about her.
That was nine years ago and we have never looked back.
What a lovely dog she is. She is so placid and is just such
great company. Our grandsons grew up with the joy of having a
lovable dog to take for walks and now our granddaughter is
experiencing this as well.
We have moved down to the coast now and we go for long walks
along the beach. Cindy loves this and especially likes going
swimming in the sea or any other water that she comes across!
Our Cindy has brought us so much pleasure and has also helped to
keep us fit! Finally, I would like to say a big 'THANK YOU'
to Eve and to Happy Breed Dog Rescue for introducing us to Cindy
and the happiness she has given us all.
