There's no cow on the ice
Sorry for the title, this is really a happy post but it is about the money to a Swedish dog in need I said I would give money to, when Breeze_mum donated some of her money to your dog in need and also graciously gave some in my name.
There's a Swedish non-profit making association in Stockholm called Hundstallet (Dogstable) and they help dogs from almost all parts of Sweden. They have something where you can buy one days care, they've worked out the average cost and it's 200 SEK (15,48 GBP) and then you get a certificate saying you've paid for one days care and a number, so you can either phone them or look up the number on their site and read what dog got your money.
I have now got my certificate and "my" dog has already found a new home
, but while he was there I paid for his food, heat etc during one day. His name is Tyke (the name means happy or impudent) and I've translated his description :
<font color="blue"> Tyke is a wonderful mix of Siberian husky and Border collie born in October 2005. Because of changing family circumstances he is now seeking a new home.
Tyke is bath-crazy, child-friendly and extremely social - he think he is a small lapdog! In the daytime he's used to stay in a kennel and he loves to be out. Tyke has lived as a family dog, but needs to go to someone who understands what these breeds require in the form of activation and exercise. He wants to follow as much as possible everywhere. He has a little difficulties with being left alone indoors. Tyke is otherwise a quiet dog with a great mind that has no problems with relaxing. </font>
I must say, who ever chose to mix those two breeds must have wanted a dog capable of working for hours or maybe they just wasn't thinking at all? But anyway, he's found a new home and by the way also on a nicer subject, showing that there's people involved in breeding that knows and cares about what happens to dogs that needs new homes, the general manager for the Swedish Kennelklubb Ulf Uddman, is also the president of the organisation behind Hundstallet.
