The couple behind the UK's only Dalmatian sanctuary are now looking for a new home after being forced to close. Sue Bell, 54, runs the rescue centre alongside partner Dave Haywood, 56, where they live with 31 dogs.
They treat the rehomed pooches like 'kids' - letting them live inside their converted stable and allowing them on sofas and beds. But they are now making an urgent plea for help to find a new home for their family - as their isolated location has become "uninhabitable".
DAS Dalmatians is currently based just outside Newton Abbott, Devon - or the "middle of nowhere", as they describe it. The property gets flooded every time it rains, and the roads are so bad the emergency services cannot reach it.
