6 Little Dogs....

Join our ever-enthusiastic host, Jess, in this poignant yet ultimately heartwarming episode of In Wild Conversations. This time, Jess sits down with Steve, the passionate founder of our beloved animal sanctuary, as he recounts a distressing period in the sanctuary's history – the time they were burgled. While thankfully none of the sanctuary's vibrant parrots were stolen, the incident had its own chaotic aftermath. A few feathered escapees took flight, eventually being found a surprising three miles from home. The damage inflicted on the aviary was significant, leaving Steve and his team reeling.

However, from this setback emerged an unexpected silver lining. In a moment of inspired action, Steve reached out to a friend in need of a guard dog. Little did he know, his friend would arrive not with one, but six utterly adorable Rottweiler puppies! For anyone who has followed Steve's incredible journey, the next chapter will come as no surprise. With his boundless compassion, Steve took all six under his wing.

What began as a mischievous litter of pups blossomed into a formidable and devoted pack of guard dogs. For over twelve years, these strapping Rottweilers maintained a perfect security record, their presence a comforting reassurance to the sanctuary's precious residents. In a moment that leaves Jess visibly moved, Steve delves into the darker history of parrot protection in the 1990s, revealing some truly horrendous incidents involving security dogs. This episode is a testament to resilience, the unexpected blessings that can arise from adversity.
