Wagtails Rescue, Essex - www.wagtails-rescue.co.uk

Recently contacted Wagtails to rehome one of their dogs, found the whole experience frustrating and came to the overall conclusion that the many do-gooders that run it dont actually have a clue about dogs or completely lack the ability to communicate effectively between themselves and genuine people willing to rehome a rescue dog with all issues and ailments that come with such a commitment.

Would not recommend I do not believe that this organisation has the capacity to put the long term welfare of the dogs first but instead move already traumatised dogs from pillar to post with no forethought about the emotional effects this has on the animal. The foster carers they employ do not have a scooby about dogs either - but they do have a fenced garden which apparently is the be all and end all in the world of dog rehoming. That fact that a new home may offer acres of land for the dog to run and play, company 24/7 and 15 plus years of dog training experience apparently stands for nothing.

Rescue dogs deserve a second chance in an experienced and understanding home, not months of kennels or inadequate foster care just to make sure the busy bodies have all their boxes ticked!

Ridiculously lousy and disappointing experience all round!

Wagtails you are useless and putting dogs through unreasonably and unnecessary stress & upheaval.

the small team who volutarily work for wagtails rescue do a great job in saving many dogs lives , the donation is fair and on par with many other rescues and i cannot praise them enough for the sterling work they do, i have 2 dogs from wagtails and can only say how pleased i have been with the service and aftercare offered by the rescue i told them my situation and they found us a dog to suit our needs , i have already recommended to many friends
