A new chapter for our beautiful Ippo

Live Paws · 6 June 2026

Sometimes life changes in ways no one expects…Ippo came back to us after his family found themselves facing extremely difficult times. It was a heartbreaking decision for them to make, but one made with love — because they wanted what was best for Ippo. And sometimes, out of sadness comes something truly special…Our wonderful friends John and Juleigh, who already have Ippo’s brother Backy, heard his story and of course, they fell completely in love. Yesterday Ippo started his journey — flying from Tenerife to Belgium, where he was met and then travelled by road onwards to the UK. It’s a great affordable option for anyone looking to take a dog from Tenerife to a forever home in the UK Ippo joined John and Juleigh at their friends’ house before heading home, and they stayed right by his side to make sure he felt safe, loved and settled.And did he settle? Well… the photos say it all. One volunteer laughed and said:“Look at that lovely dog bed there… I don’t think it’s going to get much use!” We are so incredibly blessed to have this amazing community behind our dogs. Every adopter, volunteer, supporter and friend plays a part in these happy endings. Another beautiful chapter begins for Ippo…Be happy gorgeous boy. You are exactly where you were meant to be
