The dog we went to see wasn't totaly as described, either on the web site or verbally over the phone and there was also a noticeable flea infestation on the dog we saw.

I have reported him to all the relevant authorities. AVOID.

I have had two dogs from them. Their service is impeccable and their knowledge, experience and love for their work shines through. They have a website and the dogs are on there. You go and visit and take the dog for a walk. If you like the dog you leave a £25 deposit to stop them showing other people it. They then come and do a house visit to make sure you are ok and then the dog is your once you then pay another £75 to make a total of £100. I do not bemoan in the slightest paying £100 for a new dog.

Dear friends and animal lovers,…read more I am writing to you with my heart in my hand to share a difficult situation. For reasons beyond my control, I have not received permission to have a dog in my home, which forces me to make the painful decision to give up my beloved companion, Smely, for adoption. Smely is an Anatolian Shepherd, just 8 months old, full of energy, nobility, and tenderness. He is a playful, intelligent, and protective dog who needs a home where he can grow up surrounded by love, space, and care. I am surrendering him with the hope that he will find a responsible and loving family who will give him the attention, patience, and love he deserves. It is not easy to part from him, but I know that the most important thing is to guarantee him a happy and full life. With gratitude, David Garcia josedavidchavez2001@gmail.com I'm writing to you with my heart in my hand to tell you about the situation of a living being I recently rescued. For years, he didn't receive the care and affection he deserved, and the family he was with decided to no longer care for him. Given this, I couldn't remain indifferent and took him into my home a week ago. During this time, I've seen that he is kind, calm, and has no behavioral problems. However, it's true that he has a difficult history; not because he himself caused harm, but because he lived in an environment where there was abandonment and neglect. His "crimes" are not his own, but rather the fault of the circumstances that surrounded him. Today, all I ask is a chance for him to rebuild his life in a safe, stable, and loving space. If you grant me permission to keep him with me, I promise to responsibly assume everything that his care entails: food, health, exercise, and, above all, affection. I'm convinced that every person deserves a second chance, and I trust yo

I adopted two mature moggies from Benton shelter in 2010. Both were 8 years old and had been…read morewaiting for their forever home quite a while when I met them. It was love at first sight and I had a fab four years with one and another 12.5 years with the other (sadly died in February 2022). The cats were perfect in every sense and Benton rehired them in a safe and professional manner. No complaints from me - or the mogs I adopted, both settled well and were beautiful friends. I've donated a small amount each month to the shelter since adopting the cats and will continue. When I'm over the recent loss, I'll certainly go to Benton to see if I can rescue another mature moggie. Well done Benton, you do a wonderful job giving unwanted animals a much needed second chance.

It has taken me quite a few weeks to pen the following review as we have been trying to process…read moreeverything that happened. We have used this kennels for many years for our lovely German Shepherd Dog Max. We have always had good experiences with the team who run the kennels. However, I feel that people need to be warned about our recent experience. We boarded Max in Deerness Kennels in April of this year (2022) When we picked him up we were told that he had been quite stressed,that he had barked a lot and that his stools had been runny. Max was in a very poor state on collection, he did not greet us and when we got him home we realised that he did indeed have a poorly tummy. We contacted our vets who advised a bland diet etc. Within 24 hours Max's condition worsened and we rushed him into the vets but unfortunately we were too late and we lost him. The vets do not know what the cause of his illness was, however had they seen him sooner ie. when he first took ill they feel there may have been something they could have done. They were shocked to know that he was boarded and that upon taking ill within the establishment they were not contacted for their professional opinion on Max's condition. I rang Deerness the day after we lost Max to let them know what had happened, in case any other dogs were poorly etc however the response I received was very cold and dismissive. This upset me more then anything, Max had been going to this kennels for years and yet the response from the owner was disappointing to say the least. This response has now lead me to leave this review to warn other users of this kennels. If you do plan to use them, insist that if your dog takes ill while in their care they contact your vet or at least give you a call for your advice. Our lovely boy Max was only 4 and was given a full bill of health by his vet only 3 months before he stayed at this establishment. To say that we are heartbroken from this whole experience is an understatement.

Feral Cat Welfare was set up in March 2010 by two people who were volunteers of the Adel and…read moreDistrict Branch of Cats Protection for many years until it was closed by the National Cat Centre in January 2010. They were concerned about what would become of the feral and stray cats that Adel Branch had been committed to supporting, those that had been neutered and returned to site with the promise of help with feeding and veterinary care should it be required. They were also concerned about the timid/feral strays that are often turned away by others due to the length of time it takes to build up their trust and turn them into friendly, homeable pets. Feral Cat Welfare does not have a shelter or main centre but relies on a network of fosterers who care for cats and kittens at their own homes until new homes can be found. They hope to raise enough funds over a period of time to create a permanent refuge for such cats so that they can be helped quickly and numbers do not increase. The volunteers of FCW love all cats, the friendly and the nervous, and tune in to every cat's individual needs. FCW will always have tame, friendly and affectionate cats to rehome and on their waiting list as well as timid and traumatized cats and kittens.
