BARKERS of Ilkley is helping rescue dogs Isla, Jasper, Bow and Blue look their best in the hope of finding their new 'forever homes'.

Isla, a one-year-old Husky German Shepard cross; Jasper, a nine-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, plus Yorksire crosses Bow and Blue, were treated to a bath, shampoo, blow dry and massage in the store’s top-of-the-range grooming spa using organic, holistic and natural shampoos, conditioners and spritzers to ensure that they were looking and feeling great.

Moor View Rescue Centre in Harrogate is currently caring for all four dogs, where they offer a safe environment for canines that have been lost or neglected. The rescue centre is a voluntary, non-profit organisation, which aspires to give dogs a second chance in life and help find them the perfect home.

"The dogs have been staying at Moor View Rescue for a number of months and the volunteers there are calling out to Ilkley residents to find each of them new owners.

Charlotte Thompson, spa manager at Barkers of Ilkley, said: “It was lovely having Isla, Jasper, Bow and Blue into the spa and we’re thrilled to be helping all of them on the road to finding a new home.

“They all behaved perfectly and I wish I could take them home with me!”

Moor View Rescue owner, Joanne Brydon, said: “All four dogs had a fantastic time at Barkers of Ilkley and they’re all looking very smart after their groom.

“Isla, Jasper, Bow and Blue really would make a perfect addition to the right family, and we’d like to thank the team at Barkers for allowing this opportunity to get them looking their best to hopefully make all of their rehomings happen very soon.”
