Little Black Dog Guernsey Rescue and Adoption (LBD) is a Guernsey registered charity, number CH563. LBD work in conjunction with S.C.A.N. (Society for the Care of Animals in Need), a registered rescue charity in Spain, number G54585559. These charities are close to my heart as we adopted our dogs Nudge and Rio with their help. SCAN take dogs and cats into their rescue shelter in Spain, often saving them from having to enter the kill stations. SCAN assess the dogs and provide rehabilitation and bring the animals back to good health. They ensure that all the veterinary requirements are undertaken, under their supervision, in order for their animals to meet all medical requirements to be adopted. Both rescues work closely with the States of Guernsey veterinarian department. LBD take care of the home checks locally and, in conjunction with SCAN, the matching and suitability of dogs to new adopters and the final placement of dogs.
