๐Ÿšจ URGENT ๐Ÿšจ Retired Royal Air Force Police Dog Cyryl needs a new home 5 years young, Cyryl, who Iโ€™ve been told identifies as a potatoโ€ฆ and honestly, I know a fair few RAF hoomans who do too ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿ˜‚ Cyryl absolutely hated kennels. Rather than force him to cope, the RAF made the right call and gave him early retirement ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’™ Now, 7 months on, heโ€™s much preferring his new pace of life but needs a little more structure So hereโ€™s where we need help. Cyryl thrives on structure and routine, itโ€™s essential for his wellbeing. Due to a change in family circumstances, his current home can no longer provide the consistency he needs. He is a good dog. A really good dog. But heโ€™s struggling to adjust to the pace and unpredictability of civilian life โ€” and with emotions running high, everyone is feeling that pressure. He can be reactive to other dogs, but this isnโ€™t the full picture โ€” he worked alongside other dogs during his military career. He just needs the right guidance, time, and understanding to settle. โš ๏ธ He absolutely cannot live in kennels โš ๏ธ What he needs is: A calm, structured home Someone committed to routine Patience, understanding, and consistency A handler mindset โ€” not just a pet home Hero Paws will support you every step of the way, alongside his previous trainers. You will not be doing this alone. This boy has served. He has given everything asked of him. Now, he just needs someone to show up for him. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Please reach out if you can help us find Cyryl his forever home. [email protected] fb.jotform.com/2510629949383โ€ฆ

Itโ€™s time for the government and local councils to do the following: ๐Ÿšœ Schools & hospitals to be supplied by local farms providing fresh food rather than contracts going to corporations (who have no link to local communities) and who supply ultra processed food. ๐Ÿšœ ยฃ2.4 billion of food contracts are supplied to the public sector. Local farmers should be receiving this first. ๐Ÿšœ Add into the schools curriculum to educate children about farming, how to grow your own food & the benefits of healthy eating & home cooking classes. ๐Ÿšœ School visits to local farm suppliers. Itโ€™s time for a local food revolution. This will make local communities in Britain healthier, more sustainable and strengthen the relationship between the local food suppliers (farming and fishing) and the public at large.

It's not just Arla labelled products they also sell under the Yeo Valley brand for milk cheese and yoghurts and Lurpak butters. They will only take notice if their products stay on the shelves. ๐Ÿ‘‡ #BoycottArlaFoodsUK #BoycottYeoValley #BoycottLurpak

Absolutely disgusting that @Butlins suspended the security guards who removed 5 MEN from the womenโ€™s toilet. Butlins is meant to be a family venue!! Thesecurity guards did the right thing.. Boycott Butlins until they reinstate the security and make toilets safe for females !!

OUR POST OF STARMER IN MAY 2024 ATTACKING THE TORIES FOR CONSIDERING THE CANCELLING OF WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONERS HAS BEEN REMOVED. CLEARLY SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THIS, EVEN THOUGH STARMER'S CHANCELLOR ACTUALLY DID THIS 60 DAYS LATER! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!

A green woodpecker sits on a path through the woods which are its home, oblivious to the oncoming destruction. Itโ€™s Rose Hillโ€™s last day before developers start destroying all the wildlife habitat in this beautiful green space ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’š A very sad day for nature and wildlife๐Ÿ˜ฟ

This good woman finds this disabled, beautiful puppy. She doesn't only treat him but also transforms his physical & mental state unbelievably. Human or animal, the positive transformation is what every being needs.

Here's a sight I thought I'd never see - a swimming fox!? It swam over to a small island and returned with (what I think is) a swans egg. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has witnessed this behaviour before!

So nearly 2 weeks after the dog attack, despite antibiotics, painkillers and daily poulticing I don't think he's gonna make it. If you are not 100%percent sure of your dog, take the lead. They ALL have an inner wolf in them no matter how cuddly.

Bargain! Free bumblebee with every #gentian on Widdybank today. Tropical temperatures (15 deg) place was buzzing! Felt more gentians than last year despite recent awful weather. #Teesdale #botany @NENature_ @BSBIbotany @TeesdaleFlora @durhamwildlife @Chrysal08959925

This rather bedraggled #nuthatch seemed exhausted in light of setting sun. Presuming probably on energy demanding nest support duties at moment. #Weardale #NorthPennines @NorthPenninesNL @NENature_ @durhamwildlife @Chrysal08959925 @LivingUplands @BBCSpringwatch
