'I will not cease from mental fight,nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, 'till we have built Jerusalem,in England's green and pleasant land'

Please retweet ... ZEUS UPDATE 🐾 Firstly, and most importantly... ❤️ ZEUS IS SAFE. ❤️ Following last night's urgent appeal, Zeus has secured a rescue space and has been placed in emergency boarding kennels until they have space in a couple of weeks. We would like to thank everyone who shared his appeal, offered support, or simply showed kindness. Your help is what made it possible for this young boy to be safe today. However, we do need to address some of the nasty comments and messages we received following our urgent appeal. Sadly, many people do not understand the reality facing rescue dogs in this country right now. Every day, healthy, rehomable dogs are losing their lives because there simply are not enough suitable homes available. It is a heartbreaking reality that nobody involved in rescue wants to see. When urgent appeals like Zeus's are posted, they are not designed to upset people or generate outrage. They are posted because a dog genuinely needs help and time has run out. Please do not direct anger towards rescues, pounds or us. These are the very people working tirelessly behind the scenes to save as many dogs as possible. We are volunteers doing everything we can, often at huge personal and financial cost, to get dogs to safety. The reality is that by the time dogs like Zeus enter the pound system, everyone involved is simply trying to save a life. We have also seen comments suggesting that dogs should simply be released directly to members of the public. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. Dogs leaving the pound are unassessed, unknown dogs. We often know very little about their background, how they are in a home environment, whether they can live with children, cats, or other dogs, or how they will cope outside of kennels. Releasing dogs directly to the public without the support and safeguards that rescue provides would be irresponsible and could put both dogs and people at risk which is why the pounds will only release once a rescue space is found. The reason rescues are needed is because they provide that safety net. They assess dogs properly, provide backup if placements fail, offer support where needed, and work hard to ensure dogs are matched to suitable homes. It is also not as easy as accepting every offer of rescue space that comes along. Sadly, not all rescues operate to the same standards. Our responsibility is not simply to get dogs out of the pound. Our responsibility is to ensure they are going somewhere safe, reputable, and capable of meeting their needs. We know that sometimes this can make us appear fussy, but we make no apology for that. These dogs deserve more than being moved from one uncertain situation to another. We've all seen cases where dogs have been removed from one difficult situation only to end up warehoused in boarding kennels for months or even years. That is not the future we want for any dog we help. Our goal is not just to save lives today. Our goal is to secure the right future for these dogs, however much work that takes. If you genuinely want to help Zeus and dogs like him, we would be incredibly grateful for any donation towards his emergency boarding costs, transport runs, and the ongoing work involved in getting vulnerable dogs to safety. Some of our dogs travel hundreds of miles to reach suitable rescue spaces, foster homes, or forever homes. We will do whatever it takes to give them a chance. Before commenting on posts like these, please take a moment to understand the situation rescuers are facing every single day. Attacking the people trying to help does nothing to save dogs. Education, responsible breeding, responsible ownership, fostering, adopting, and supporting rescue work are what make the difference. For now, Zeus is safe, warm, and has been given the chance he so desperately needed. Thank you to everyone who stood behind him. 🐾❤️ To donate towards helping us to get these dog safe the details are below: Even a £1 will help towards us saving these dogs.

Gabriel Magalhaes fought back tears as he thanked every Arsenal fan for the support shown to him since his move to North London and also after the Champions League final. We love you, Big Gabi. ❤️

❤️ Behind every success story, there are battles nobody sees. When people watch William Saliba today, they see one of the best defenders in the world. What they don't always see are the setbacks, sacrifices and heartbreak that shaped the man he has become. From difficult loan spells and doubts over his future to the devastating loss of his mother, Saliba has had to overcome challenges far greater than football. Yet through it all, he kept fighting. Now, he stands as a Premier League champion, a Champions League finalist and one of the cornerstones of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. 💭 Sometimes the greatest victories aren't the trophies you lift, but the battles you win when nobody is watching. William Saliba's story is a reminder that strength isn't just about what happens on the pitch — it's about finding the courage to keep going when life tests you the most. ❤️🔴⚪️ **#AFC

Razorbill coming out of the darkness!😍 As the boat navigated around the Skomer coast, it went past a hole in the rock face where you could see straight through to Skokholm Island in the distance! I hoped for a seabird to come into view during these few seconds.. & one did! 😀

Peekaboo! Shivers has been here a while probably because she’s a shy girl. She’s got the looks for sure 😍 She’s 5yrs old and scared of most things however we’ve seen a big improvement recently out on her walks. Shivers needs a home with other confident steady dogs and it won’t be long before she’s absolutely fine. She’s just got blocked here in the kennels and needs a fresh start. Plz share 🙏🏻❤️

Woodpigeon in my Somerset garden recently. 😍 I posted the cropped version of this photo a few weeks ago, but I think this wider view is lovely too, how about you? 😀🐦

I must eat my greens 🥬

Mama Mia and her musicals. We need mama Mia names for two boys and two girls 😅 How cute are they? 😍

You’ve had cuteness puppy overload all weekend but now it’s time for the hard part again. The overlooked adults that have waited patiently for almost two years like Ebony here. Ebony is a shy girl almost 6yrs old but she’s really coming along and played with a toy for the first time ❤️ We captured the moment in hope you can see her potential and offer her a home .. plz share 🙏🏻❤️

In Morro de São Paulo, Bahia, there's a caramel-colored dog named Cara Preta who spends his days enjoying the crystal-clear waters and watching the fish.

Imagine being so desperate that you have to advertise the tv licence at half time in a World Cup game 😂😂😂

David Raya has won the Premier League Golden Glove, finished with the best defensive record in the Champions League, and has been one of Europe's most consistent goalkeepers — yet he still isn't Spain's undisputed No. 1. At this point, it's fair to ask: what more does he need to do to earn Luis de la Fuente's full trust?

Our post views seem to be getting lower day by day. So if you see Beethoven today could you drop him a heart or say hello. Think it's to do with the algorithm that we are slowly disappearing 😢 #smallrescuevisabilty #algorithm

🚨 This is absolutely amazing news!!! 🚨

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.
