I’ve spent many days raising awareness for #saveSnuggles.
I’m not here for egos/attention — I just want him HOME.
Some people are attacking/belittling me & others for simply trying to help. That helps NO ONE , least of all Snuggles.
I’ve grown to love him the same way as Lucy.
James English has been found guilty of domestic abuse following a 12-day trial after repeatedly assaulting his pregnant ex-partner and verbally abusing her, calling her a “fat slag” and a “little bitch.”
He grabbed her by the neck while she was pregnant, squeezed it and pushed her against a door.
On another occasion, he pressed his thumbs into her eyebrows while she was pregnant.
He also kicked her out of bed so hard that she hit a wardrobe after refusing to cuddle him.
He slapped her and pulled her hair during the abuse.
He will be sentenced next month.
Today is National Dog Day, where we are supposed to celebrate with our dogs how much we appreciate them being in our lives and shower them with love. You may not physically be by my side Snug-a-bug, but boy do I love and miss you more than you will ever know. Forever in my heart
I look at how long it has taken Lucy to adjust to two months in a cell, and she was cared for by shelter workers who loved her.
What is happening to Snuggles and his wonderful family is wrong in so many ways.
#SaveSnuggles
Fact: the bite was provoked
Fact: a provoked bite can not be considered for dog to be labeled “dangerous”
Fact: Snuggles was taken for 10 day quarantine nearly 11 months ago
Fact: #JusticeforJennifer has had her rights trampled on badly
Fact:#SaveSnuggles should be set free!
💔 💔💔WE LEFT BORRIS CARLOW HEARTBROKEN, ANGRY AND ASKING: HOW IS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?💔😡😡😡
Yesterday our MLHR team made an emergency trip to the horse fair in Borris, Co. Carlow, and what we witnessed was devastating.
Horses left without food or water, exhausted and some in terrible condition. One young horse, only around a year old, was covered in ringworm, had just one shoe and was desperately weak. He was being sold for €150.
Thankfully, we managed to get him out before he was sold. He is now safe with us and receiving veterinary care. ❤️🩹
But it wasn't only the horses.
We witnessed people shooting pellet guns at locals and at animals.
One mare who was shot with a pellet gun went running up the street with her goal following, heart breaking , 😡😡💔💔💔💔
We also tried desperately to help two puppies, but by the time we found a Garda who was willing to help us, the puppies had disappeared.😡💔
At one point, a member of our MLHR team was also put in danger. We raised our concerns with Boris An Garda Síochána , but we were deeply disappointed that we did not feel the seriousness of the situation was being taken as seriously as it should have been.💔😡
We always work and highly respect an garda Siochana , some of our volunteers and friends are Gardaí, which is why this experience was particularly upsetting.
We left Borris angry, heartbroken and exhausted, wondering how this level of suffering can be allowed to happen in Ireland.
And this isn't just about Borris. These fairs happen across the country.
PLEASE, DON'T LOOK AWAY.💔💔💔
If you see animals being neglected, denied food or water, injured, sick or in danger, REPORT IT. Document what you safely can and speak up.
And please help us care for the pony we managed to rescue. His veterinary treatment, medication, feed, farrier care and rehabilitation will all cost money.
If you can donate €5, €10 or whatever you can afford, please do.
If you cannot donate, PLEASE SHARE.
This poor pony had nobody speaking for him yesterday.
Today, we are his voice. 💔
This has to stop. Animals deserve better than this.💔💔💔💔

Thank you 💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️
True! #SaveSnuggles was to be quarantined 10 days but has been held hostage nearly 11 MONTHS. We need #JusticeforJennifer trending to get this story back in the spotlight.
Hope is still alive for Snuggles.
@JenniferEvn22 and her attorney just filed the Motion to Vacate and the Federal Civil Rights lawsuit. This is real progress.
Don’t grow weary. Keep the hope. Every respectful call, email, and share still counts.
Never stop speaking up for the animals who need a voice.
Snuggles belongs home with his family.

🚨 ANIMAL CRUELTY: ACCRINGTON, LANCASHIRE - KNOW THE FACE
🚨 DANIEL MONAGHAN
A seven‑month‑old German Shepherd puppy named Chase was beaten, kicked, dragged and terrorised outside a flat on Whalley Road, #accrington.
THE CCTV FOOTAGE 📹
🔴 Monaghan hit Chase on the head with a rucksack
🔴 He stood on the lead, pinning the puppy down while striking him across the back
🔴 He kicked him into a sitting position
🔴 He dragged him backwards, causing him to fall
🔴 He kicked him again as Chase cowered, tail tucked, trying to escape
RSPCA Inspector Daniel Tomlinson described the footage as “upsetting”.
A vet confirmed Chase was suffering — and would continue to suffer if left with Monaghan.
Police removed him.
The RSPCA took him into possession.
That intervention saved his life.
THE SENTENCE ⚖️
📝 12‑month community order
📝 80 hours of unpaid work
📝 15 rehabilitation activity days
📝 £200 costs + £114 victim surcharge
📝 10‑year ban on keeping animals
A decade‑long ban — but no prison time.
CHASE’S NEW LIFE 🐾
Chase has been renamed Wolfie, and he is finally safe.
🌟 He gained almost 10kg in eight weeks, now weighing 39kg
🌟 He has bonded with another German Shepherd
🌟 He enjoys long woodland walks
🌟 His confidence is returning
🌟 His tail is held high again ❤️
His new owner said he arrived sad and forlorn — but with love and proper care, Wolfie is thriving.

This is how I found Skye 7 weeks ago on a building site after being thrown out of a car and unable to move.
To see her in her new home is a thing of sheer joy (1/5)
