Unfortunately we've had to take Cleo (who was called Luna) back in under Paddy's care. She had been fostered with view to adopt but it hasn't worked out.

This poor girl suffered horrric abuse for three months at the hands of a drug user. We will not share them as they are extremely upsetting, but videos had circulated online of her screams from a flat.

We now urgently need substantial funds to pay for her kennel fees of £110 a week.

We are looking for a special person who will give her the strick boundaries she needs and take her in and train her under the guidance of a behaviourist. It breaks our hearts to see her back in kennels.

Cleo just loved being made a fuss of and she will make a great dog once she's had behavioural support. We are keen to hear from someone who has experience of dogs with a difficult background.

The lovely couple who took her in deserve no bad comments please. They grew to really love her and they tried their best and were keen to keep trying but we came to a mutual decision with them that Cleo needs someone who can be firmer with her. It honestly caused a lot of heartbreak for them to hand her back and they are in regular contact for updates.

We are a newly launched rescue and we have a number of dogs with soaring vets bill and we have no reserves to pay for this (this month our outgoings are around £3k which will wipe us out and we are in a very precautious situation).
