Breaking news....ok we have a plan.


The very lovely Saffy who will be sharing her home with Boycie

 As always its messy and not quite what we hoped for but it's a plan.

Sally, Simon and Saffy have come to the rescue again (they did the same thing a year ago by fostering Bullseye so Sandy could come in)
They will take Boycie for a maximum of six weeks, if he gets a home in that time all well and good, if they feel Saffy could accept him they will keep him but otherwise he will come back to us at the end of six weeks.
We are very grateful to them.

They will pick Boycie up on Sunday.
I will collect Peppa from kennels but also I have decided to put Sandy into kennels for a week, as she was very happy there when we went away. This will give us a little more space to settle Peppa and also cover Sunday 9th October when Dave and I are at SBT Welfare AGM.
Sara my eldest daughter is working that day which leaves Jessie and Sam at home to manage the dogs until we return late afternoon. (We will probably take Jade and Angel with us)

So thats the plan, not ideal but lets hope it works.

Heard today that Glenn and Anna are taking in a 4 month old female Staffie pup, apparently the owners have got fed up with her!
Also heard an elderly lady advertised her car for sale. A couple came to view it, they suddenly shoved their Husky into her car and left, leaving her with the Husky!!
With rescues full, people are dumping their dogs, tying them at railway stations or to trees, often with a note and vaccination certificate. Things are very,very bad.

I feel very discouraged over Sandy.
We launched that big campaign to bring her in and now nearly a year on we have not homed her.
You have to ask, 'Was it worth it?' Is she really any better off?
We have trained her but when things go on longer than six months it starts to have detrimental affect on the dog.
She is a perfectly nice dog yet no interest at all. And why should they be interested when they can buy a puppy for next to nothing and not undergo any homechecks or abide by any rules?

We have invested so much time, energy, effort not to mention money all for nout.
