And Jimmy was starving on the streets of Turkey. But now he is “living the dream”, according to Happy Paws.

Another puppy, Molly, was left to languish in a toilet. She had never been outside in her life.

She was rescued by the charity and now models for Andrex, the British toilet roll brand famous for its Labrador Retriever mascot.

Happy Paws said, “Together we are making a difference but there are so many goldens that need us to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and find them a family to love.

“On behalf of the goldens we have rescued, the goldens we are currently rescuing, and the goldens we have not been able to help just yet but will... thank you!”

Happy Paws Puppy Rescue was set up with the sole purpose of giving dogs who have been abandoned, neglected and abused a second chance.
