Adopting a rescue dog is not always as easy or relaxing as a walk in the park!
 
Whether you are now the lucky and proud owner of a “Southridge dog”, or whether you own dog needs some training, start off on the right paw and attend our fortnightly dog training classes.
 
All sizes and ages are welcome.
 

Dear all,
For anyone that may be interested we have started a new group called 'Dog Walkers United' on Facebook, this is in response to the new proposed legislation for people who walk dogs commercially anywhere within land managed by the City of London or have a large number of own dogs. In order to ensure that we are not put out of business by a law that we can only walk 4 dogs at a time, we are trying to negotiate for a licensing scheme that will allow us to walk up to 8 dogs together providing they are under control for a nominal fee for using the parks (non commercial walkers would not have to pay).
To do this we need to be a unified group so please join us if this affects you and have your say, there is also a very coherent piece written by Simon Lee the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath on the 'Wall' explaining their position and why they feel it necessary to bring in legislation. This is a closed group so you will have to ask to join, look forward to hearing from you.

“Greetings Dima, 
 
I do hope that you can help Katya; she is a lovely young woman and desperate to complete her English tutor qualification by staying in the UK for 1 to 3 months.
My husband Colin and I are not in a position to offer her accommodation but we would make a modest contribution towards her expenses.
I think she would like to come to the UK in the summer and perhaps you would contact her directly if you can help I really hope we can be lucky for her.
Every good wish, Veronica Prescott Owen”
