1. Adorable Amy

Amy has grown from a very cute pup learning the most adorable 'sit' and ‘down’, into such a clever girl who is now celebrating passing the third stage of her hearing dog training.

Amy has recently been gaining experience in the public places she will visit with her future deaf partner, as well as getting used to travelling by public transport.

Next up for our clever cocker spaniel is learning how to alert her future partner to important and potentially life-saving sounds.

Well done, Amy!

2. Introducing our Labradorable puppies

Apollo, Amber, April, Aslan, and Atlas made the most of a rainy day visit with lots of running through the puppy tunnel and playing with all the toys they could find.

We can't wait to see how these curious little pups get on in the early stages of their hearing dog training.

3. Staying cool

The recent warm weather meant our clever dogs were finding their own unique ways of beating the heat.

Ginny has a new place to have a drink, Albert is bobbing for cucumber, Iggy is having the best time splashing around, and much more.

4. Who fancies a bit of DIY?

Marco is ready to take on the challenge as he takes his first trip out and starts exploring pet-friendly spaces.

The introduction to new places is taken slowly, and Marco spent his time walking up and down the same few aisles, getting familiar with the sights and smells. He even worked on his settle when his trainer and volunteer stopped to chat paint colours.

Look at that happy tail!
