10-03-10 - A quick update on our pregnant cat, Crystal had 4 gorgeous babies at 11.30pm last night, pics will be on site soon. All doing well 
24-02-10 - Sorry the blog has not been updated recently but between being very busy, our website being down and having problems with a computer virus it just has not been possible. Firstly a big thank you to Ben Evans from Dog Behaviour Ltd for coming to the rescue on weekend and working with some of the dogs. Pictures below of all the dogs playing happily together. Another week of endless calls we saved an american bulldog from the pound today a lovely big boy, but he has an injury to his ear and is underweight yet another searching for happiness, hopefully he is now on the right road. We also have had an influx of cats including a pregnant female cat & a mother cat with 5 babies one day old!! so we are now desperate for cat and kitten food as well as cat litter if you could find it in your heart then please buy some and donate. It can be left at our charity shop at 95 Charles St Milford Haven, or the following pet shops.

14-02-10 - What a week! It has been a very hectic and draining week, at Green Acres we have to have a limit on the amount of dogs we have at the rescue to ensure we can look after them all correctly. This is in place for the dogs as much as us, but the general public do not seem to understand this, still daily we have calls from members of the public that want to rehome their dogs and when we say sorry we are full at the moment but we will help once a space becomes available this is not good enough. Just because we care enough to save animals lives does not mean we are here to jump everytime an animals owner becomes bored of their pet. We also explain that dogs that are in the pound have seven days and then face being put to sleep so these recieve priority, but this too falls on deaf ears, and on one occasion this week it was responded to by a lady saying I DONT CARE! Well its a good job we do!
We also have had a few dogs returned lately people just dont want to seem to work at things, animals very rarely come problem free and perfect so please only take on an animal if you are willing to work at the problems and take on a life long committment. Ok moan over, this week patch and lucky went to their new homes and we also homed 2 kittens.
We have an urgent appeal for fosterers at the moment as we dont have any dogs in foster at the moment and need to make space to save more lives, I am also about to send out an email campaign to revamp our advertising we need to think of ways we can spread the word of the plight of the Green Acres animals if you have any ideas please get in touch. Posters, mags, newspapers, radio stations anything.
Here are some pictures of Jack and Macy 2 very special dogs needing to find the person that will love them FOREVER!
06-02-10 Please have a look at our kittens & cats as well, we can't take many in as we have only 2 foster homes, 1 can take a very small number of adults & the other kittens. They are all lovely & desperate for a lap to call their own, & already in their short lives 2 of them have had a rotten time. Can you give them their 2nd chance?
05-02-10 - Today has been a day of mixed emotions Sammy and Charlie went in to be castrated and they both had offers of homes, Sammy being adopted today and Charlie hopefully becoming a Cardiff boy on sunday so while they where going through the procedure at vets, we spent some time with the dogs exercising, playing and generally trying to make their lives that little bit better. Here are some of the pictures, Duke loved the jumps and Leo enjoyed playing around with us in the office, both are people dogs and love nothing more than to be with you.
After spending a few hours enjoying the fairly good weather and entertaining the dogs, it was time to pick the boys up from the vets, while there I was going to get Rivers the Westie checked over. It breaks my heart to see dogs like this, on his arrival we could see he had been neglected but it wasnt until the grooming started we realised the extent, he has an ongoing skin problem which has been untreated and made worse by lack of grooming, he is in need of a serious dental, his paws are infected as his dew claws had grown full circle and peirced back into his pads. 2.5 hours of grooming produced a dog which was obviously given a new lease of life with his new hair cut. But after a consultation he left with eye drops, ear drops, special shampoo to control his skin condition and an appointment to have a full dental. This poor boy has suffered in silence for years yet still wags his tail and greet you happily. Rivers is obviously more forgiving than me.
Rivers new adopters will have to realise his skin will only ever be managed and never cured, it is just about reducing the irritation and making his life comfortable. Pictures below are from before and after the grooming process Thank you to Keri's K9 Kuts who gave up her evening off to make Rivers more presentable.
02-02-10 - Yesterday and today have left us all very low, yesterday brought a call from our local pound that 3 dogs needed to come in, we managed after juggling dogs into foster to take these and they arrived today. Not long after another call came and we heard the plight of a rottie girl Lola that was about to be put to sleep as her time was up in the pound she was in. What do we do? we are full but after lying awake and going trough all the options we managed to work with some other rescues and some dog saviours and save her life. She is now safe and will come to us once there is room. Day after day the calls keep coming and they always start with Do you take dogs? or I need to rehome my dog! Everyone has a different reason but everyone has a by product which will be the poor dog that is about to have its life turned upside down. We are only a very small rescue and we have to give priority to dogs that are in immediate danger but this does not mean we leave every night with heavy heart at all the ones we cannot take straight away. Will they be ok? Will they wait till there is space?
But how can we ALL do things to help - well ones thing is neutering! We all know there are just to many dogs and numbers need to be reduced, every dog that comes into the care of Green Acres is neutered if not already so, but we can all do something to help this. Is your dog neutered? If not then please get it done. Do you know someone with an unneutered dog if so then please tell them of the beneifits of having this done. This not only prevents unwanted litters but there are also health benefits that your vet will happily explain this if you enquire. There are also schemes available to people on means tested benefits please get in touch if you want more details.
I hate to moan, but I think you all should know the uphill struggle that is animal rescue and how depressed we all get, there are always to many to physically help, another phone call needing help another dog thats due to die. Please help us in anyway possible and bring a little light to a dark time.
31-01-10 - Sorry its been a bit slow on the blog updates but we have been extremely busy at the rescue today saw the completion of the kennels revamp, we have had the 4 original kennels done up so they are better for the dogs and us. We have some lovely dogs in at the moment so if you are looking for a family pet please get in touch as I am sure they will not be with us long.
15-01-10 - Today is one of those days where a tiny bit of my faith in human nature is restored, Mr and Mrs Roderick of Stepaside, Pembs recently celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary and instead of recieving gifts they asked for donations to Green Acres, and we recieved the cheque today. Many thanks to you both and it just proves there are some caring people out there. We are still campaigning to find Honey that special home I hope and pray it will come soon but is so much in the hands of fate, Please Please advertise Honey where ever you can posters, are available via email attachment so please get in touch if you can help.
Please have a look at our kittens page as well, 2 poor babies were found curled up in the snow nearly frozen, & Mau was shot near his eye, they really need loving homes after such miserable starts to their lives
14-01-10 - We are going to try and write a daily or at least every few days blog to keep all our webwatchers up to date on what goes on at Green Acres and also give you a feel what an up hill struggle rescue is the majority of the time. Well thankfully the weather has improved, the cold icey and snowy weather was causing havoc at the rescue all of our water supply was frozen, horses had to stay in, but with the weather slightly better, it has improved but not after the dogs really enjoyed the snow!
Pics are Buddy and Max enjoying ball in the snow (Max now homed) and Snow at the rescue.
We currently still have Honey in our care and she is looking for her forever home, she needs a very understanding and 'dog savvi' home to blossom into the loving pet that is there waiting to come out we have recently done a big email campaign for her, is there anywhere you think you could advertise Honey? She needs all the publicity she can get PLEASE HELP HER. Max the dog that was left at very to be destroyed at the vets has now gone to his loving new home where I know he will be happy for the rest of his life. While at the vets collecting Max 2 stunning little kittens where brought in the had been found out in the snow sleeping curled up trying there best to keep warm, these poor boys are approx 12 weeks old and would have died if they had been out over night. These are now in foster and on the cats and kittens page. Rescue is a hard and heart breaking job 75% of the time, we have endless calls asking for help in all sorts of situatons but we can only help the ones we physically have time and space for. Please say a prayer for those poor animals we have never heard of and lost their lives in vain and lets hope that if we work together in 2010 we can save even more!
Here are some more pics taken at Green Acres Animal Rescue

We did it, survived the 1st day in our Charity shops, pics here show Joan on her last day with all her volunteers wishing her well, & Mikey, Sarah & Georgie at the official handover. Most of the volunteers are staying with us & with their invaluable help, it will be a massive boost for the rescue.
11th Oct
Well folks, Green acres is VERY pleased to announce that we are taking over as from tomorrow, two charity shops in Milford Haven. They were run by Milford Haven animal welfare, but Joan, after many years of dedication to animals has decided to retire, & we wish her all the best.
This now means that we hopefully will have a more reliable source of income for the rescue, & as the shops are run entirely by volunteers, it should make a massive difference, & will make our jobs of looking after the animals so much easier.
So...if you have anything that we could sell, please drop it off at the shops, 93 & 95 Charles st Milford, we'll be delighted to see you

Poor Kai is back with us, he is the loveliest of dogs, but he needs the right home. This breed of dog is only for the experienced. He is on the adopotion page. Sam & Bracken are improving, but it will take time with them both, they are great little boys, & I'm pleased to say that Chico is definately getting better, he is now in foster with Jan & being spoilt rotten, which is just what he needs.
28th July
We all find being involved in a rescue heartbreaking at times, some definately worse than others. The 2 collie's that have come in are beautiful boys. still only babies but humans have let them down so badly. They have perked up since they came in but it is going to be ongoing to get them to realise that some people do care. Bracken has come on quite a lot, but poor Sam is in need of so much TLC, we will do all we can to make sure they get the best life we can give them. 2 more dogs came in 2day, a sweet little collie/terrier mix who's family have a child that's developed an allergy to him, & a boxer x who has had quite a rough time, but is still a very friendly boy. Chico is now in foster with Jan & is much happier now
16th July
Not a bad week,Bo Kaz Muffin & Mya have gone to new homes & hopefully Archie is off tomorrow. Sam & Lilly have been here longer than we hoped, we did hope they would go together but if it's a choice between a home each or staying in kennels then they will be far happier going seperately. Please have a look at them & Axle, he is such a good boy, & all he needs is is the help of another confident dog & he will blossom. This is what happened with Bo, she was a nervous wreck, but with the help of her new owner & a lovely collie she is now a completely changed & very happy girl.
11th July OPEN DAY
What a fantastic day, the rain stayed away & the people turned up!
10th July

** We have heard a rumour that dogs are being stolen in Hakin/milford area. If this is true it pays to keep an eye open even if your dog is in the garden **

18th June
There seems to be a growing list of dogs that need our help but we are limited to what we can do. Thank the lord for Jennie our fosterer she has been amazing! She not only took in a Jack Russell and found it a home on top of the ones she already had but has also hopefully found a home for Maggie, watchers of the site will remember Maggie as the poor abused and emaciated staffy that came from the pound. She now is (thanks to jennies tlc and home cooking) a fab and healthy dog.
SPONSORED WALK ON SUNDAY FOR ALL ATTENDING. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND WHY NOT MAKE A DONATION VIA THE SITE, NO AMOUNT IS TO SMALL.
15th June
Sorry folks, the blog has been a bit slow, but the dogs haven't! All the dogs in the last blogs have new homes but they have been rapidly replaced by more. We have 2 lovely collie's in from the pound today, Fly is a collie x Dalmation he has a lovely spotty dog face. Tango is only a pup still & very handsome. Harry is fine Lab, & poor little Patch is a sweetie but has had a terrible start to her short life. Maggie, I'm pleased to say is doing amazingly well, she is like a different dog from the poor sad girl that arrived here in early May. Pics & more info on the adoption page.
Sponsored walk next Sunday !! Please start praying for a nice day.
20th May
Well it goes from one extreme to the other, we had a quiet spell, nearly all the dogs had been rehomed & then it goes mad again! Cesar has come in from the pound, he had about an hour left on this earth when we got him & he is a lovely boy. Axle & Eddie came in together & the most beautiful Samoyeds, Alaw & LLew, their owners circumstances had changed so they could no longer give them the care they needed. More details as we get to know them, pics are on the adoption page.
We also have forms available for our sponsored walk on June 21st, please get in touch if you are interested.
12th May
I think Sunday was a fine dogs day out! I know Jessie had a great time & now has a stack of rosettes to show off. Many thanks to all concerned.
But the best news has to be Tyler getting his forever home, he is a smashing dog, overlooked so many times but that tail never stopped wagging. We wish him a long & happy life.

2nd April
3 dogs in today, 2 from the pound, a little girl JR & a small dougal (magic roundabout lol) type dog. The other is a stunning collie, pics & info asap
1st April
A rollercoaster week, good news is Norman has found a lovely home & hopefully Pammie has as well, she had a visit to the vet as her eyes were causing us some concern, but it seems to be a problem that she was probably born with, & she copes well with it. We have 2 more dogs coming in from the pound tomorrow, details as soon as we can. But on a sad note, poor Clio has been put to sleep. This is heartbreaking as she was such a sweet little girl. She came to us in a very thin condition & seemed to pick up but then lost weight & had problems with her breathing. The vet found that she had lung cancer & the kindest & only option was to cause her no more distress. This decision was made because there was no hope of recovery for her.
27th March
This week has seen 3 new arrivals, Skip a collie x lab, Norman a JR & Pam a lovely cocker spaniel, Pam & Norman have come in from the pound, so were saved from death row. Please have a look & is there no one out there that can help Tyler & Clio? They really need their 2nd chance.
22nd March
We have confirmed the date for our Easter Bingo, it will be 7th April at the British Legion in Milford Haven, doors open 7pm & eyes down at 7.30

http://www.mekuti.co.uk/heidi/
16th March
Heidi is making good progress bless her.
13th March
Painful progress for Heidi, but Rachel has said 'Heidi has had about half a tin of food in small doses through the afternoon and is drinking too. She looked haggard this morning on her return from the vets, but has been doing well since'
12th March
Just a quick update on Heidi, the little collie. She had her operation this morning & has come through so far, we will pass on any more news as we get it.
10th March
A lovely little collie X came in today, she is an absolute sweetie & is here because one of her family has developed an alergy. Jet really deserves a lovely new home & lots of TLC. She's only 13 weeks old, but please remember that collies need an active home as they are very inteligent dogs.
7th March
A bit of a dramatic week this week, while Jessie 2 has found her forever home, we had a major shock when 1 of the dogs fell ill & has had to have surgery with a week on a drip & syringe feeding. Poor boy had intestinal problems (not infectious thank goodness) but he is now hopefully well on the road to recovery, the down side is it has cost a small fortune in vet bills, so we are now going to have to fund raise like there is no tomorrow. We are organising an Easter Bingo event for 7th April, & we are holding an Alphabet raffle, so if anyone can help by taking some sheets to sell please get in touch.
2nd March
This week has been very quiet, but we did have a visit on Sunday from Ben, who is a dog behaviorist. He works miracles. He had short sessions with several dogs & as usual, left us all amazed. Thanks Ben. His site is www.standupforlife.webs.com well worth a visit

9th Feb
Beautiful Betty has found her happy place today, good luck girlie.
7th Feb
Buddy William & Dixie have found their forever homes this weekend, it really does give us a warm happy feeling to see these dogs go off happy when they so often come in neglected & miserable. Ben is the poor boy we are really hoping will get his 2nd chance soon. He has been here too long, kennels are really not the place for dogs to stay in long term & he is in desperate need of some TLC, please have a look at him on the adoption page, is there a space in your heart for him??
5th Feb
Green acres is in the paper this week, the Mecury has kindly run an article about our Van appeal, so it should be a great help.

Today we have 2 Jack Russells arrive from the pound, very sweet natured dogs that are looking for there new begining???!! We also took in a lovely 4th mth old staff called Milo. All these dogs are fantastic please give them a chance if u can.
26th Jan
A good weekend, Spencer, Lynx & Jack have gone to new homes.
23rd Jan
We have just taken in Dixie, a beautiful lurcher, saved from the pound on her last hour, she is a lovely girl, runs like the wind, good on recall, & seems a happy good natured dog, pics on adoption page. Spencer may have his 2nd chance today, so we are hopefull.
20th Jan
3 more dogs in from the pound, saved from death row, they are all lovely dogs, & seem to be a good natured lot, so fingers x'd they will all get their 2nd chance soon. Lucky has got his new start & we wish him & his new family well.
16th Jan
Tim has finally found his happy space, he is such a lovely dog he really does deserve his 2nd chance, & hopefully Lucky & Lynx will be adopted soon. Not so good for poor Dylan though, he will be back with us at the weekend, he is such a cutie & has had more than his share of bad luck, with the right owners he will be a fantastic pet. Princess, the kitten returned to us is hoping she will find her new lap soon, she is a gorgeous girl.
13th Jan
Not such a good day as we have taken back a kitten that we rehomed a while ago, not through any fault of the kitten, but because her owner lost 2 cats to posioning over the last 2 months & she does not want the same to happen to Princess, so she made this hard choice for the safety of Princess, please have a look at the kitten page for more info.
Lucky has had his operation to be neutered so he is now ready for a new home, he is such a sweet boy.
11th Jan
Today Suki's day of a new life came and she was successfully adopted, it was lovely to see a healthy and happy dog going to a new home compared to the very quiet and underweight dog that arrived from the pound. We also had 2 arrivals today 2 goats Hetty and Toffee, their owner could no longer care for them so they have come to join the Green Acres crew. We will have pics shortly once they have settled in.
10th Jan
Pinkie has gone to his new home with Isla & a lovely lady greyhound to be his big sister. Tim & Suki have potential new homes so we have everything crossed for them, they so need a place to call their own.
Bruce has just come to us from the pound, he was due to be destroyed. He seems to be a lovely dog, good natured, not too bad on the lead & ok with other dogs, only young so he has the potential to be a smashing family pet.
8th Jan
Such a good day, Joey has gone to his new home & Pinkie will hopefully be going soon, he & Suki are going to be neutered tomorrow & Pinkie should then be off to his new family. Brilliant!
6th Jan
Sorry we've been a bit quiet on the blog over Christmas, but the rescue has been non stop, as fast as a dog is re homed another comes in.
We have had more dogs in from the pound, & we have a few that have been with us for too long, Joey, Tim & Suki are are desperate for their 2nd chance & a kennel is no substitute for a nice cosy lap or sofa! Please have another look at our dogs for adoption, is there no one there that could fill a space in your heart?
On a more positive note the 2 kitties that had such a bad start, Shadow & Fizz have got their forever home. It is such a good feeling when these animals come to us in such a state & after however long it takes (with these 2 it was a while) they are fit, healthy, & off 2 a happy home.
The Christmas Fayre we held was a great success, loads of donations, lovely cakes & a brilliant Father Christmas made sure ot that. So again, many thanks to everyone that helped, donated, or turned up, hope to see you at the next one.
3rd December
Another dogs 7 days up today. Ben is a very loving medium size heinz 57, he's only young and would make an ideal family pet. At green acres we strongly advise getting your pets neutered to stop more unwanted animals being produced and also getting them microchipped so if they do end up in the pound they can trace you to reunite you with your dog. So many dogs face destruction every year in council pounds please lets all make an effort to reduce this number! We are now bursting at the seams could you foster a dog?? We are looking for short term homes to look after our rescues until they find their forever home. If you feel this is something you can help with please get in touch.
With the amount of animals increasing by the day we also have less time to organise fundraising events, if you feel this is something you could do please get in touch, it could be anything sponsored swim to a raffle. Please get in touch if you can help!!
2 December
Today Ellie collected Marley the Black Labrador from the pound his 7 days were up and he needed a space in rescue so we took him, he is very lively and friendly boy who needs an active family. Thanks again Ellie dont know what we'd do without you.
30th December
Dylan was taken in today, he's a 13wk old Collie pup that the owners could not cope with, a lot of consideration should go into getting a puppy especially a breed like a collie that are very active physically and mentally. Ellie has very kindly fostered Dylan for us to give him the well socialised start he needs, many thanks to Ellie and Dave. Not forgetting Morgan, Sam and Hattie!!!
29th November
Great news today Charlie the Lab x has gone to her new home we wish her all the best, lets hope this is her forever home and she is happy for the rest of her life, i know she will love playing footie in the garden with the children.
28th November
Today we collected another 2 dogs from the pound and i still cant believe how some people treat their animals, first was a Saluki x who has been christened Sasha, she's very underweight with until she got to pound had an untreated skin condition, and second was a very small staffie x, she has been severely neglected, she is very underweight a very pitiful sight. She will now recieve the love and care shes needs to become a loving member of someones family. Please help us to continue to save these lives remember every penny counts!!
27th Novemeber
Many thanks to Ellie who collected Joey a collie x husky today from the local pound, it amazes me how much we live in a disposable society Joey was handed into pound as his owner did not have time for him anymore and hadn't been walked for over 2 mths. So he know joins the green acres crew to find another forever home.
25th November
Today we had a lovely visit from Many Tears rescue, who brought us loads of goodies for the dogs in our care, and gave us loads of great advice
Many thanks Sylvia and Bill
17th November
Today we collected yet another 2 dogs from the pound a male Border Collie who is stunning but extremely under weight and medium size cross breed bitch who is alos underweight. Many Thanks to Ellie who helped with the dog run and also thank you to Yvonne Parkins who took on the cross breed. We have christened them Seren and Tim.
Also today Georgie who fosters our kittens took in 2 brothers. They have a heavy worm burden and need neutering but a few weeks of tlc and they will be ready to home.
14th Novemeber
Today 2 dogs arrived Nasher and Dasher they are brother and sister and are lab crosses, they were rescued by dedicated animal lover Trudie James of the Doris Banham Sanctuary off death row. They currently have over 100 dogs in their care so we agreed to take 2 to lighten their load a little. Both seem very freindly dogs and once neutered will be looking for a loving home.
10th Novemeber
Today another dog came in from the pound, Chunky is a 7yr old very friendly castrated male Staffordshire Bull Terrier more details on the Dogs for adoption page.
8th November
Great News Heidi went to her new forever home today with Rachel and Chris, we are so grateful to them both for giving Heidi a chance in the last stages of her life, we will keep you up dated on her progress. But judging by the way Heidi and Rachels dog Meg got on with each other on Newport beach i dont think there will be any problems. Thanks again to Rachel and Chris and also to Amanda and Family who fostered Heidi until she found her forever home.
6th November
The two pigs Claudia and Camilla have now moved into there new enclosure, and are loving it. They have dug up most of the grass already, but look really happy. Jerry and Tom two dogs that came from the pound are settling in well and i'm sure wont be here to long. The £1 appeal is going well we have already had donations of £21, hopefully this will get to £100 soon so we can then bath the dogs inside in the warm.
Sadly Red a male Staffordshire Bull Terrier we rehomed 2 months ago is coming back to us, its owners landlord has now said they cannot have pets so poor old Red is coming back to kennels. There are so many animals needing our help we are desperate for foster homes if you feel you could offer one of our dogs a forever or foster home please please get in touch.
We also have hopefully found a retirement home for Heidi our 10 year old Collie more details on this soon.
1st Novemebr
Today is a day for celebration one of the first dogs that ever came into the rescue 'Duffy' has gone to her forever home. This has been a long time coming but has been worth the wait as i'm sure that Paul is the person for her. Sam has also gone to his lovely new home today too.
Lots of people are trying really hard to find Heidi somewhere to spend the rest of her days, lets hope we find somewhere soon. We try to keep her out of the kennel as much as we can, she is quite active and likes to follow you around. There is lots of life left in this girl yet.
The pig pen is nearly finished, Claudia and Camilla should be able to move into there new home tomorrow.
31st October
Everyone is really sad at the rescue today
Today we took in a 10 year old Collie bitch called Heidi we were told that her owner had passed away, and her family could not keep her as one of their children turned out to be "allergic !". The person that dropped her off appeared to be in a hurry, so didnt hang around long. When we had a good look at this very sweet little dog, she had a lemon size lump on her belly and a hard lump all around her throat, . We have taken her to the vet and have been advised that it is too late for any treatment and to let her live the rest of her life without veterinary intervention until she is suffering. This little dog is very sweet, obedient, still full of life and enjoyment, she has obviously been a loyal dog to someone. She should not have to spend what time she has left in kennels. If anyone can help with a foster home please contact us ASAP
(any bills will be paid by Green Acres Rescue)
