The plight of
Staffies:
There is currently a huge problem with the
overbreeding of Staffie and Staffie crosses, with thousands of them ending
up in stray dog pounds and rescues, abandoned and unwanted.
Sadly,
Staffies have been demonised by bad press reports and they now have a very
negative public image. As a result, rescue organisations find it
extremely hard to re-home them and many of these poor dogs can wait months
to be adopted.
As with all breeds, given the correct training,
socialising and responsible ownership, Staffies can make the most
wonderful, loving pets. And just to prove it, below are photos of
several Staffie and Staffie crosses that were lucky enough to be taken in
by Sussex Pet Rescue and who are now
very happy in their new loving
homes!

comforts... |

are able to live harmoniously alongside other dogs! |

brothers! |
Testimonials:
Updated information on the latest dogs to be taken in and those who needed special help and/or veterinary treatment to overcome difficulties prior to being made available for adoption. Also Testimonials from owners who have adopted, relating to the many success stories and happy outcomes for dogs who have been given another chance of life by those offering a new and caring home.
Tammy was rescued
from a home she shared with two other small
dogs, they were unattended for large
parts of the day and were not exercised. Their owners gave them up
for adoption and after just a couple of weeks in one of our foster
homes she looked like ....
...this! She was adopted shortly after and went to a new and
loving home.

Snoopy came into our care as a young
Collie/Spaniel cross. After being adopted by a lovely family who love the
outdoors and wanted a companion for their existing dog, they kindly sent
the picture below as an update for us some months later.

home, with his new best
friend.

'Ebony' spent most of her life as a breeding bitch and was kept in a small cage with little or no bedding. She was about 8 years old and very weak on her back legs. However, once she was in a foster home, she quickly built her muscles up and eventually was re-homed with people who have turned her life around. |
 |
She is very happy and now runs around chasing balls, playing and thoroughly loving her new home. A great ending for a dog who had very little freedom and was quite depressed until she came into our care. |
