The decision to rescue a dog

After losing our 8 year old Staffordshire cross very suddenly to cancer the house was empty and only those who have experienced owning a dog can truly understand the huge hole that is left.

We quickly decided we needed a new dog not to replace Ben as that would never be possible but to allow us to share our home again.

We also knew we wanted another Staffy or Staffy cross as they are such  wonderful breed with such a bad press and so many in Rescues up and down the country

And so our search began.

I volunteer with +Staffordshire Rescue Scotland however they didn't have any cat friendly dogs available and we needed a dog that would be happy to share it's new home with Toots our now elderly rescue cat.

I will end this 1st post in Roscoe's Blog with a photo of Ben our first Staffy cross who is now  Ben the staffy Star who shines brightly every night watching over us
