Albi & Archie – In Foster – Midlands
Please welcome two very special puppies #Albi and #Archie .
2026 has already brought us many challenges and this weekend was another reminder of why we do what we do.
These two beautiful boys came into our care through a neglect case. The individual responsible is currently in prison and has already been banned from owning animals. Because of this, the police were able to gain access to the property and the dog warden brought the boys to safety.
When they were found, they were shut in a room, shaking, frightened, and completely overwhelmed.
They had no names… so we gave them one.
Albi , our merle boy, and Archie , his chocolate-coloured brother.
Both are around 10 months old, but they weigh just 10kg and 12kg. They should be strong, playful pups… yet they are painfully underweight and physically fragile
They saw our vet tonight, and the reality of their condition is truly devastating.
Albi (merle) has demodex, open skin sores, a cough, and is severely underweight.
Archie (chocolate) has cherry eye, demodex pyoderma, including a large wet open sore on his neck, and his overall conformation is very poor.
Our vet believes the lack of proper care has stunted their growth permanently.
Despite everything, they are now safe — warm, clean, and being shown love for the very first time by their incredible foster family, Nikki and Alex, who stepped forward without hesitation. Their dedication means the world to us.
Right now, the boys need intensive veterinary care — antibiotics, steroids, demodex treatment, antifungal shampoos, and ongoing medical support. They came to us with absolutely nothing, and the cost of their treatment will be significant.
If you are able to help, please consider donating. Every penny will go directly towards their care and recovery.
For now, they will undergo a full assessment period, so please don’t send pre-interest enquiries yet. We need time to understand what kind of homes they will need.
A special thank you…
To Georgia, for acting so quickly and collecting these boys when they needed us most — your compassion and urgency made all the difference.
To Ellie, for transporting them safely to their foster home and ensuring their journey ended in warmth and love — we are so grateful.
And to our wonderful foster family Nikki and Alex, who, despite only just arriving home, were back on the road in the early hours to welcome them — your kindness is truly humbling.
It takes a village to save a life, and these boys are here today because of yours.
Albi and Archie — your lives begin again tonight.
You will never be alone again.
