The link below is another part of Battersea's Staffies they're softer than you think, campaign. During the montage of still pics there is a picture of our Dolly with her young owner wearing pink.

Welfare are considering the neutering programme again, trying to find something that works for everyone, I will keep you informed as to how it goes.

Each week we have an email about urgent pound dogs needing rescue spaces. It is normally on a Sunday which is a real 'downer' when we are trying to have a bit of a break.
This week was no exception.

There were 24 dogs in total. 8 of them were SBT's a further 6 were described as Staffie crosses or Staffie type.

These are all strays or abandoned dogs who have done their seven days and not been claimed and if rescue places are not forthcoming they will be PTS

The person who sent it said how she had fallen in love with a SBT male called Glen.
 Most of these dogs are lovely and would make wonderful companions for any family BUT all rescues, like us, are full, the situation has reached gridlock, rescues cannot home them and so many will be put to sleep.

On top of that we have emails and calls from owners wanting to rehome their Staffords.
This week was relatively quiet.....7 calls!!   7 Dogs!!

This is the reason we want to start a neutering programme.

Lets hope Glen has a happy ending.http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/greenowl30/?action=view&current=Glen_188_PEN.jpg
