Dangerously cute dogs and purrfectly sweet cats

Yesterday, the gang and I headed over to a place somewhere between Holywell and Trelogan to NCAR (the North Clywd Animal Rescue) it's a privately owned charity that takes on strays and signed-over cats, dogs and rabbits in order to try and re-home them. We had kind permission from Nicky Owen, the media relations officer at NCAR to film the day to day goings on. We all had a great time and hopefully managed to capture some great footage of the work that goes on there.

This is Adam Hobbs, he works alongside NCAR as a behaviourist, training and working with difficult dogs so that they can be re-homed. Here he is working with Marmaduke, who is a tri-colour English bull terrier. He was a little excited when another dog came by, but on the whole he seemed to enjoy being in front of the camera and posed a lot!

We filmed a family spending time with a small terrier (I forget his name) that they were thinking of adopting. This area is called the Paddock, and it's where they take animals to let them off the lead to run freely and tire themselves out playing with balls, Frisbees and running around the agility course.

As part of the filming, we decided to get a bunch of 'filler shots', shots the sit between more important ones as a way of both padding out the film and moving seamlessly between unconnected shots. This sign was one of many we filmed over the course of the day.

The gang and I discuss the days filming.

Sue turns 'dog whisperer' for the day. Del was another dog being trained by Adam, and seemed to take a bit of a shine to her.

Rabbit. Very difficult to film of photograph due to them moving around so much and the crossed bars on the hutches, none the less cute though!

Here, Owain talks to us about the trailer that travels around shows and pet shops educating people on the value of donating time and money to NCAR. We heard lots of stories of the generosity of the public at shows who disappear and return laden with blankets, food, donations and anything else that helps the staff at NCAR keep the rescue centre running. And at a running cost of approximately £850 per DAY they need everything people can spare.

If you would like to adopt, foster, sponsor a kennel or cat pod, volunteer, donate money, blankets, food, toys or time or would like more information please visit their website.

I just want to say another huge thank you to the staff (and the animals!) at NCAR for their warm welcome and openness to talk to us yesterday. Keep up the great work guys, and we hope you like our documentary, watch this space for more soon!!
