Hi {NAME}, Thatch's perfect match 💛🐶

August news and highlights View an [online version of this email]( [Rehoming]( [Sponsor]( [Donate]( [GEM header image]( Finding Thatch's perfect match Last year, Laura’s family visited us in the hopes of adopting a German Shepherd. But, after some advice from our rehoming team, they fell for Thatch, a charming Border Terrier Cross. Thatch, once a stray, needed training and patience. With love and guidance, he settled in and bonded with their Dachshund, Winnie. Laura says, “Thatch has transformed our lives. He’s gentle, playful, and Winnie’s confidence has soared.” Thanks to your support, every day we can [go the extra mile]( to help dogs like Thatch find their ideal family.
