About Us We are a small, passionate, dog rescue based in North Wales, UK. We aim to provide a safe haven for dogs that have been abandoned through no fault of their own, rehome them, and to educate the next generation of dog owners. Our Vision Our vision is for all dogs to “live the good life”, free from cruelty, abuse, neglect or fear and having their physical, social and emotional needs met. Our Mission 1. To provide a safe haven for, and to successfully re-home, dogs that are abandoned through no fault of their own. 2. To promote responsible ownership and provide support to both fosterers and adopters from two fully qualified dog behaviour specialists and experienced volunteers. 3. Through developing our education programme, we aim to reach young people and to help them to: - be safe around and respect dogs - understand different breeds to make an informed decision when choosing a dog - be aware of animal cruelty and exploitation (including online sales and working dogs) 4. To offer our support to the appropriate bodies in order to put a stop to the unnecessary and needless suffering of dogs but in particular: - racing greyhounds - breeding dogs and their puppies - dogs sold online Our Values We are passionate about the welfare and happiness of all dogs. Whilst not being breed specific, approximately a quarter of our rescues have been greyhounds. Dogs in the local pound and urgent social cases (eg. deceased owners) will be prioritised for rescue.

Runathon Rules

The Goal: Run 3 km every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours—totaling 72 km!

The Route: A set 3 km loop, starting and ending in my back garden.

Timing:Each run must start within the first 5 minutes of every hour. No banking miles—every 3 km must be run separately each hour.

Rest & Recovery: Between runs, I’ll rest on a mattress outside or a chair. Nutrition and hydration will be managed throughout.

Tracking & Proof: Every run will be recorded on Garmin and uploaded for transparency.

I’ll share updates, photos, and progress throughout the challenge!

The Challenge Ends: After completing the 24th run—a total of 72 km!

Support & Motivation: My wife Fiona, Daisy the Doggo and maybe some running guests will be on hand for support during the day.

I’ll be keeping myself going with movies, gaming, and your encouragement! Thank you for your support! Every donation keeps me moving through the toughest hours.
