Good luck darling boy – we are all keeping our fingers crossed for you as you so deserve your cosy, forever home and a family to love you as much as you will love them (we know that will be with all your heart). Your friend and neighbour Tansy – who came home with us on Saturday – wishes you so much luck. We'll all be thinking of you and sending you our love, special boy!!
Re: Big Bruce Staffie DofB 2010 Guildford Kenns
Today dawned grey and wet but nothing could dampen the excitement at Guildford as we welcomed Ian and Nicky to meet Bruce.
Ian and Nicky had read every page of Bruce’s story on the forum and had come forward specifically for him wanting to give a home to an older Staffie.
We had a walk in the pouring rain where Ian and Nicky heard Mel and myself gush about Bruce. They heard about how special Bruce is, how Bruce is our “go to” dog - go to if you need cuddles & go to if any of our nervous/frantic/reactive dogs needed a calming walking companion. They also saw Bruce’s impeccable manners when walking close to many other dogs.
I don’t think I took one breath while after the walk I gave Ian and Nicky some time to decide.......and then promptly burst into tears when the answer was YES!
They know that the journey ahead may be bumpy as Bruce has never known home comforts in all of his 8 years but they assure us that they will give him time.
So that’s it, ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL HOMINGS I HAVE EVER BEEN HONOURED TO BE INVOLVED WITH, our Bruce has gone HOME (which incidentally has a 1 acre garden!)
Ian and Nicky were surrounded by blubbing volunteers just before they left so I think that they know what this means to us but just to say again - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Bruce my love, you will be so sorely missed but we have all waited for this day for so long.
Apologies for such poor quality photos but I think that my hands were shaking!

I have been waiting for the pics. Oh I am so so over the moon and joining all the volunteers who are currently in tears (even though I am at my desk at work - they are getting used to it!!). Such a special homing for BB. Thank you Nicky and Ian. Hopefully we can see pics of Bruce in his home settling down on a sofa. This truly is the best. I am sure everyone is cheering. Be happy you beautiful boy what a pleasure to know you. xxxxxxxxxx

Re: Big Bruce Staffie DofB 2010 East Grinstead
A very emotional day for all involved, we dared not hope, but Bruce was his usual wonderful self and Nicky and Ian saw for themselves what a truly fab dog he is. Yes we all cried tears of complete joy and his face as he was driven away, cuddled up to his new mum is one I will not forget any time soon. Bruce be happy in your new home I am sure it will have been worth the wait.
