My eldest wanted a puppy for his 10th birthday. We looked for a puppy in the UK for over a year. We emailed a number of rescue places but as soon as we said we had a 4 year old and a cat, they quickly said no. We came across BSR on Facebook, (before a friend recommended the group) and once we found Waffles we fell in love. Haris was amazing, he answered all our questions and put our minds at rest about having a 4 year old and a cat. We filled in the application form and eagerly waited to meet waffles. Haris knew my boys were so excited to be getting a puppy that he sent us weekly updates and videos. We collected Waffles our Beagador (Labrador cross Beagle) on Halloween eve, and fell in love all over again. His confidence grew each day and he has settled in as part of the family in no time. He is quick to learn but very mischievous, but we wouldn’t have any other way. We can’t thank Haris, Lucy and Diane enough for all their help, hard work and especially for brining waffles into our family.
