I do hae my own rescues and I will post them seperate......cos there was already far too many..........I couldnt poss keep them all we get hundreds......all of the pics are for rehoming or already rehomed
Most of our springers sheps and labs go to the police as working dogs.......unless we think they would make better pets then we home them into family homes.....all the spingers are gone but we have a few cockers in at the moment
I volunteer for a rescue and we had a purebred Saluki (but without the feathering) in last year. I wanted her so much (DH said no
), but what's more annoying, I live opposite a six-acre, fenced in dog park, so she could have been let off leash to play (I know a lot of sighthounds can't). Amazing to think such a dog was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn, NYC.
Yep.................It is amazin to think the majority of these dogs where brought into to be PTS...............Some with some pathetic excuses............. i.e didnt think it would grow that big/having a baby cant possibly have a dog/its chewing/new partner dosnt like dogs/dog dosnt like the new puppy I bought/cant house train it BLA BLA.........rubbish!!! and all the rest of it.
Some where found in appauling states and others just christmas chuck outs who lost their cute appeal
Some of these dogs have been purchased for a large sum of money.........however when they become a problem it does not stop folk gettin rid of them
It is very hard work and can be stressful at times.......feeling like banging our heads of a brick wall
On the other hand it can be very rewarding.......seeing these dogs go to their new homes
We carry out home checks/keep them permanantley chipped in our names/have the new owners sighn legally binding agreements........and they are all NEUTERED
and chipped
It can be very time consuming and expensive
but worth it.
Now u all know why I have my little rants about un-neccesary breeding LOL
I love the Boxer! What is his story if you don't mind me asking - has he had an injury to his eye? I used to have a Boxer and would love another but we just couldn't have a dog at the moment.
I got my English Pointer from Cala's mum.
This is her.
If I remember rightly the Boxer had microphthalmia - he was born with an abnormally small eye so the thrid eyelid just stays permanantly across and he looks like he's winking at you - a lovely dog.
I was seriously tempted by Hope the saluki cross - she was one of the worst cruelty cases I have come across in my career but still the sweetest natured dog and totally trusting of people despite obviously receiving some pretty rough treatment from people in the past. Anyway she ended up with my friends brother in law and they love her to bits and she lives in the lap of luxury now so she has a happy ending.
He came to us with little history........we where unsure if this had been an injury or birth defect...........It did not bother him at all and he did have full sight in the eye........His name was sox and he was not blessed with alot of brains
bless!
He went to a wonderful new home with a young couple that lived on a farm with lots of horsies.....we still see him from time to time
They are actually both goneto their new homes.......The whippet one is a saluki x whippet........we put her story in the national news papers.....as she was emaciated and covered in tab burns
....hence the scars on her side.........the police brouht her to my mam.......because a well known charity(wont mention the name) wanted nothing to do with her
.........as you can see she recovered well......we called her hope.....I have just posted another rescue picci in the advice re rescue reyhound post........have a peek
Just the two together in the photo bucket.........they where brouht be be PTS because they where bought as guard dogs and they where to soft
So they have been used to living outside so they will be a little harder to rehome.......if u r interested in a shepherd I will post any future piccies of ones we get in.............we get alot of shepherds in.
We have a blu merle colli but she is 7 dosnt look it tho......she is gorgeous.............I will try and Get OH to put her in the photo Gallery so u can have a lookey
