Today's good news story. Meet the very handsome Apollo. Apollo was seized in October as a suspected banned breed dog. Once assessed it was found he met enough criteria to be an American Bully Xl. Yesterday his case went to court and the courts very satisfied have granted him exemption status. Despite the case being done on a criminal charge the courts gave no conviction or fine as this should have been done on a civil application instead. Apollo will be allowed home once all the paperwork is complete and in place. We wish Apollo and his family all the very best for the future.

The courts satisfied have granted exemption to both dogs. Today Wakanda who was seized earlier this year has also been granted exemption status. All three will be returned home soon as all paperwork is done. Earlier on the week Meah (Mia) case was dropped with a voluntary control order put in place.

📣 SUPPORT OUR MARATHON RUNNER FOR ROCKY’S ARMY! 🐾 💥 TASHA COPE (London Marathon 2025 finisher!) is taking on TWO FULL MARATHONS next April — a huge 52.4 MILES — to raise vital funds for Rocky’s Army, the team who saved my boy Shadow’s life 🔥 Manchester Marathon – April 2026 🔥 Virtual London Marathon (Kent) – the following Sunday! That’s 26.2 miles + 26.2 miles back-to-back — come rain or shine! 🌧☀️ And she’s not doing it alone — there is a training crew joining Tasha throughout to prepare, ready to run relay legs with her during the Virtual Marathon. Even Shadow himself will be running alongside her for some miles 🐶❤️ 🐾 Why This Matters… After being passed around, over 10 homes in just 18 months, living amongst drug addicts, being abandoned and starved in another, Shadow had finally found stability, love, health and his forever home, spending months re-building his life he finally had the life he deserved ❤️ Until that day the police dragged him away 💔 In September 2024, my beloved rescue dog Shadow was seized by police. He hadn’t done anything wrong — he was judged simply on his appearance. With the support of Mark Riley at Rocky’s Army and the amazing team at The Dog Clinic, KWP, we were fighting back to bring him home and become 🦾 TEAM SHADOW 🦾 After 3 long months in “dog prison,” we went to court on December 6th — and Shadow was declared a free dog. Ten days later, he was home in time for Christmas with me and his brother Chance. ❤️ Anyone who’s met Shadow knows he’s the sweetest boy — despite his rough start, he’s full of love. (And yes, he’s got a big crush on Tasha’s rescue dog Bonnie! 🐾💕) BUT we would not be where we are now without Mark, and the support round the clock from Rocky’s Army, and we will be eternally grateful for what you guys done and continue to do everyday ❤️ 🙌 What Rocky’s Army Does Is LIFE-SAVING Mark and the team work tirelessly to fight against Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) and protect dogs like Shadow. So many haven’t made it but thanks to Rocky’s Army, Shadow’s life was saved. Now Tasha is running for every dog, those who made it home and those who never got the chance 💔 🔥 How You Can Help 💸 Donate what you can – every pound helps another dog like Shadow. 📢 Share this post – help us spread the word far and wide. 👟 Come cheer Tasha on – join us at MANCHESTER!!! to make some NOISE for Rocky’s Army! (Message me if you’d like to come along!!) ❤️ Together we are ROCKYS ARMY ❤️ 🐾 Speak for those who can’t speak for themselves #RockysArmy #EndBSL #ManchesterMarathon2026 #LondonMarathon #SaveOurDogs #TheDogClinicKWP #TeamShadow gofund.me/b840f47a4

Another fire has broken out on the moors, this time on the A171 between Whitby and Scarborough near the Harwood Dale turning. The road remains closed as fire crews deal with the blaze. (📷North Yorkshire Weather Updates)
