What I do not understand is Facebook has cracked down on people advertising horses but so called rescues are able ‘to look for homes’ from outside the country.

these so called rescues have pulled the wool over many peoples eyes and facebook is no different...there is the danger that they will put a block on all rescues advertising on facebook and that would mean less dogs would be rehomed from the genuine rescues..so its a difficult one...

It's pretty easy to get round the new algorithms. You just use different words.

inyeresting, the dogs trust have been training vets to neuter and the street dogs are being neutered and then put back where they came from. they looked in very good condition and it appears these street dogs are looked after by the community, which is better than shipping them over here....

I know the girl (well on fb) and have helped in a very small way , she has worked tirelessly under threats and maximum intimidation, she has alerted the authorities so many times about illegal dogs coming in giving reg nos etc and they havent got the staff.

https://www.facebook.com/barnabyslaw/ this is her page, please like her page and give her some encouragement, she is at the end of her tether.

My yard is still selling on FB, they just don’t use words like ‘for sale’ or put prices up.

Yep, change the name of the group to 'showcase', write the price as five hundred pounds, say 'PM for details'....
