06 However, that sort of view couldn't be further from the truth. Sarah and Paul's
level of understanding of Border Collies with problems is Sarah and Paul
know each dog they take in, because they take them home, to Thank you for giving so much time - time that others do not or cannot give. And maybe you'll
also not be surprised to learn that I am more than happy to Please don't
forget - so very often the "problem" collie's problem
has been Rosalyn Young. |

Whilst
we were looking for our new premises, several articles about our
search appeared in the Dog Press, these are some of the things people
had to say about us.
A big thank you to Nick Mays and all that contributed. |

Hi Nick, Wiccaweys rescue
have been extremely successful with rehabilitating collies and finding
lovely new homes for them. They have a great deal of experience and
knowledge of the breed that means they can offer places for difficult
dogs that other more general, less specialised rescues (such as ourselves)
have a problem with. Alison Simmons

Dear Nick WHY CHOOSE WICCAWEYS?
Sarah said that we may need to be patient until a suitable match came up, and we waited several months for a dog which fitted our criteria. Sarah and Paul rescue dogs mainly Border Collies and they all live together at home with them, they then can assess them without the stresses of living in a kennel environment, they can see if they are children and cat friendly, and are domesticated/housetrained. Sarah contacted us with a choice of two dogs which may suit our needs, she posted photographs and potted history/biography of each dog, then arranged for a visit to be made to our home with the dogs. The visit was a relaxed affair and all the family were present, the dogs were able to have the run of our home and garden. Sarah put no pressure
on us to choose either of them saying that if we did not want either
of these that she would keep looking out for a dog to suit us. We chose
Jip a middle aged Border Collie who Sarah and Paul had rescued from
Ireland where he was abandoned. |

Hi Nick, |

Dear Nick, Looking at Wiccaweys
web site one day, we clicked on "dogs needing homes" and discovered
Mia, (now called Lizzie). |
|
Dear Nick, Wiccaweys was an
absolute life saver for me. Sarah and Paul were brilliant, they kept in touch and eventually Oliver found a perfect life with a new Mummy and Daddy. Making sure that
Dogs and prospective adopters are a perfect match is very important
for the well being of all. This is carried out admirably by these precious
carers. |
|
Dear Nick, I cannot bear to
think that Paul and Sarah will not be able to continue the fantastic
work they do simply for lack of accommodation. Paul and Sarah were strangers
to me until Saturday August 7th 2004. |

Hi Nick, A little note in
support of yet another rescue threatened with closure. Amanda |

Hi Nick, Thank you for giving Wiccaweys some coverage. If anyone deserves it, then it's Sarah & Paul!!! They do a fantastic
job rescuing numerous collies, and plenty of other dogs besides |

Hi Nick, The commitment
shown by Wiccaweys to the welfare of border collies is exceptional. Catherine Moore

Hi Nick, I adopted young Herbie at 8 weeks old and he was very poorly having had a very sad start to life. When we took him
on we knew that he had wonky eyes and that he was a little bit slow
at picking things up, but we didn't care as he was very cute and in
desperate need of a permanent home. He is now 18months old and yes he
still has wonky eyes but he is full of mischief and brings a lot of
fun into our lives. |

Dear Nick, Kind Regards |

Hi Nick, We got a Bella
our rescue dog from Wiccaweys last November. Bella came over from a rescue in Ireland, where she kept getting over looked. |
