I wish there was a charity shop
based in London. People need educating about these beautiful and amazing dogs. I could never be without staffies
in my life now. There's never a dull moment in our house!!

I am so overwhelmed by the amount
of organisations dedicated to these amazing animals, I own 2 staffies and with all the bad press sometimes it's difficult
to explain to people they are not what they are portrayed in the media, well done and thank you and please let me know if
there is anything in my area where I can get involved!!!

I wish there were more staffie
rescue charities around the country like yours. SBTs certainly could do with all of the help they can get right now.
It is such a shame as they are a fantastic breed and so mis-understood.
I THINK YOU ARE DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL THING.

I stumbled across your shop by
complete chance whilst doing a military parade through the town.I thought it was fantastic.We have a two year old staffie
called Dave that we saved from going into a rescue shelter by taking him off a couple we knew who were giving him up because
they were moving.I hope we can get involved with your fund raising events to help find more staffies a loving home.

I think what you are doing
is fantastic, I have two staffies of my own and if it was up to me Ii would be taking them all home with me, I have
3 chidren also and people do need to be educated about bringing dogs and children up together, it is possible if done
correctly.

I think it is amazing that there
is a charity specifically for this amazing and very mis-understood breed. They are the most loving and friendly dogs
I know! People are so irresponsible in getting dogs and not being prepared for the commitment having a dog entails.
So I think it is brilliant that there is a Staffie rescue specifically for them but find it really sad that it is necessary.

I'm so happy that there's
a charity for this special breed! It's so sad that this breed is misunderstood due to people owning them for the wrong
reasons...not because they genuinely love them and want to provide them with a loving home for life. I hope this website makes
people realise what lovely family pets this breed can make. I have a staffie myself and we would not be without him! Now I
understand and love the breed it upsets me when while I'm out walking and notice how some people try and avoid you just
because of their perceptions of the breed.Give staffies a chance!!

I
am so pleased there is an organisation that are caring and promoting these wonderful dogs. My 1st pet was a staff and
my parents have another, my grandparents have always had them so I have grown up with them. It breaks my heart seeing
these caring animals degraded in the media because of a few careless owners. If I could I would rehome and love one
of these dogs, but unfortunately, as I rent I'm not allowed a dog! As soon as I can I'm sure I’ll pay
you a visit to collect and care for one of these dogs. P.S Freddie is gorgeous!!

I think what you are doing is great because what has happened
to the breed by irresponsible owners and breeders is digusting. There are irresponsible breeders churning out litter after
litter of puppies as an easy way to make money. The aren't interested in the health of the dogs or of the good continuation
of the breed. What is just as bad are the owners who buy a cute little fashionable staffie puppy with no understanding
of the needs of the dog or the intention to find out. Something's got to give somewhere, the amount of staffies
and staffie crosses in kennels is obscene. I have a red staff myself and have grown up with the breed so
it's great to see that you are trying to educate people on the needs and nature of these loyal, family orientated
dogs.

I live a little too far away to help but am actively
involved with a rescue organisation, Rochdale Dog Rescue that helps poundie dogs find rescue places with reputable rescues
around the UK, so am all to familiar with the amount of poor staffies dumped - most of our dogs at the minute waiting for
places are staffies of course.
I do a little less volunteering with an organisation
called K9 search in walsall who again try to help reunite missing dogs and find places for the walsall poundies - again so
many staffies. Anyway just wanted to say have
book marked the site and to say well done for doing something to help these wonderful dogs and wish you all the best - as
the owner of two staffie crosses have a personal interest too in the plight of the number of dumped staffies.

Great, I think a Staffie rescue in
the local area is definitely needed.
