The canine rescue was began by her late husband Bernard within the Nineteen Fifties, whose “dearest wish” was that it carried on after his passing.
Pine Ridge was first imagined in 1958 when Bernard returned home from business one night and turned on the information.
He realized that Slough, the earlier home of the rescue, was to be the primary UK city the place a byline legislation was being handed that banned unleashed dogs from roads.
If dogs have been discovered wandering free with out an proprietor, they might be impounded and put to sleep after seven days in the event that they weren’t claimed.
Bernard was horrified by this, and after pondering the matter for some weeks, he went to the native council and informed them that he would take the unclaimed dogs.
Pine Ridge Sanctuary has now been operating for 65 years and have become a charity within the early 60s.
The proprietor of Pine Ridge Sanctuary Connie Cuff mentioned: “We have always had dogs, and usually adopt the oldies. Our current oldster is a 13 year old staffie crossed dachshund!”
Regarding the upcoming ban of XL American Bullies within the UK, Connie Cuff agreed that “it is pretty difficult to rehome dogs today. Rehoming over the last five months has dried up.”
She mentioned: “The issue is in the breeding, it’s not the owners! People like to jump on the owners being at fault, but dogs are 80 percent breeding and the rest is down to environment.”
“Breeders just churn them out, and people don’t want dogs that are not social. They want dogs that they can take off the lead.”
