A Fenland woman is fundraising to create a secure space for their XL Bully dogs.
Emma Breeds, of Outwell, shared her family's mission to provide a legal and safe haven for their growing pack, following the introduction of new XL Bully regulations.
Their journey began with Ted, the family's first rescue, and Jess, a puppy saved from a drug house.
The family's home, now a sanctuary for dogs, includes seven XL Bullies, two Chihuahuas, and a bulldog named Wally, who was nursed back to health over two years.
Their new pack member, Rusty, helped the family heal after Ted passed away.
Rusty and Jess are now the proud parents of five puppies.
When the new XL Bully laws came into effect, the family decided to keep the whole family together, despite facing an "impossible choice."
Emma said: "Because of the new regulations, a private, secure 'Freedom Field' is the only way our big, beautiful family can run and play without fear."
The family is now raising money for perimeter fencing to secure their 6,000-square-metre plot of land.
With their GoFundMe page having a target of £1,600, Emma said: "We've just hit our first £85 milestone.
"Every penny raised goes toward the timber posts and wire to make this a legal, safe haven for our XL Bullies and the rest of the pack."
The family also saves horses, including one rescued from the meat market.
Emma added: "Please help us protect their legacy."
The 'Freedom Field' is to be a safe space for the dogs to roam freely, in memory of Ted and Lew, who died of cancer last year.
The family has started fundraising, with all proceeds going towards the perimeter fencing.
