People don’t always think to turn to a rescue for a puppy, but sometimes we do get puppies arrive into our care, even whole litters! In 2019, we received one such litter from Ireland (GSPCA) – Asparagus, Aubergine, Avocado, Broccoli, Leek, Lentil, Okra and Yam, who soon became affectionately known as the Veggie Pups! Being …

Just like buses, two offers come at once!
