How to post in this forum

This forum has been created specifically for aiding in the re-homing of URGENT dogs that are in a rescue situation. (see below for more info on what constitutes a rescue situation). Keep all 'general' rescue discussion in the main Rescue forum.

To better enable the most effective use of this forum, if you start a new topic, please ensure you accept responsibility to update the current status as required so that obsolete information is kept to a minimum.

When creating the title, please post in the format specified (on the post screen) so potential rescuers have a good idea of things from the title without having to open the thread.

When you deem the dog is no longer in need of rescue, please edit the initial post and use the symbol to alert the moderators that it needs to be moved to the 'Past Requests' forum. This will unclog the Request forum, whilst still allowing people to discuss past rescues if they desire.

If the dog is no longer deemed 'Urgent' but is still in need of rescue and you wish for it to be transferred to the 'Non-Urgent' forum, please Click the 'Report' button and request the thread be moved to non-urgent.

What is a rescue dog?

In order to keep this Rescue Forum as useful as possible (and to help the dogs in greatest need), please use these 2 simple criteria when posting.

• All dogs listed must be genuine rescues. (i.e. the dog is currently either in a pound/animal refuge or in a foster care situation). Private re-homing is not generally premitted unless the dog risks being harmed, neglected, or will be surrendered to a pound if a home is not found quickly (also see below about private re-homing).
• Dogs in a private home, foster care or in a rescue groups/individuals care must be advertised as desexed. The only exemption is when the dog is;
  1) Elderly
  2) Too young (There must be a condition in the contract where the dog must be desexed when old enough AND/OR a desexing voucher given. Please state this condition when posting.)

Private re-homing

If you need to re-home your own dog (or you need to re-home a dog on behalf of the current owner) and it is not urgent, please see the "Do you want to re-home your dog" topic for help. A dog in his situation is not really rescue and as such has more appropriate areas where they can be advertised. This will free up the resources for this forum for the dogs in real need.

************************************************************

Notes re Blacktown's Tender System

1) Minimum tender price is $60 (current for 2009/10)
2) Lifetime registration costs are $40 for a desexed dog ($15 if on a pension), or $150 for an entire dog
3) Microchipping cost is $25

If a dog is already registered and chipped then only the tender fee applies.

There is a free desexing clinic but it can only accept 10 dogs a week (and a maximum of three large dogs) - if a dog requires desexing and there is no room in the program, the Pound will hold the dog until the following week only - IF there is space available. If a dog goes to the desexing program, an $8 vaccination fee applies.

To lodge a tender, you need to fill out a form available at the pound (if you are unable to get to the pound, they will fax a copy through and will accept a completed faxed reply). The completed tender form is then placed in the appropriate day box that the dog is due e.g Monday, Tuesday etc (pound staff will advise which day). On the day the dog is due, pound staff open the box and sort the tenders. The highest bid is the successful tender and the tenderer is contacted - generally speaking if you haven't heard by 10.30am that morning, you have not been successful.

Any surrenders, or dogs that have passed their due date and received no tenders, can be purchased for $55 plus registration and chip costs (if applicable).

Miscellaneous

All dogs under the age of 2 years are vaccinated when they enter the Pound - but this is only a temporary vaccination.

Rescue groups with a clause 16d are able to obtain dogs from the Pound at no cost, once the dogs have reached their due date, and if they have received no tenders.

1 - Small Scruffy male. Not desexed. Very friendly - Approx 1 year old Available 15-2-10 - Will be in the paper as dog of the week

Let me know if you are able to help any of these needies. Saves need to be on by close of business on Tuesday.

I would also like to add we were testing with a thunder storm rolling in.

Ignore numbers they are for ARF references

Yard 10 Crossbreed Male Approx 9-12 months
SAFE with ARF
In the cage: This boy was excitable and keen to get out.
In the stand and ignore: He was stood at the end of the lead and was barking (3)
In the withdrawal of affection: He accepted pats and then went to the end of the lead. (3)
He was happy to be handled all over
In the guide and place: He was very oft and allowed both he sit and drop (1)
In the stranger danger: He jumped up in a friendly manner and was unfazed (2)
In the kid test: He was excited and jumped all over the doll. Would suit older kids as he is a boofhead.
In the dog to dog: He was very exuberant puppy in his approach and may be too much for some dog. He was friendly though, just lacked manners (2)
He showed no signs of resource guarding
With correction on the chain: He was quite insensitive to correction so would need work in this area (3)
He knows sit.
He is a skinny boy that needs some fattening up.
A good boy that is simply an adolescent that hasn't had much done with him. With guidance and consistency I am sure he would thrive.

Contact numbers for Hawkesbury Shelter are 45 60 4644 and 45 60 4643. If phones are unattended please leave a message and your call will be returned asap. All messages and emails are checked prior to PTS. PTS can be as early as 8am.

All dogs are C3 vaccinated upon arrival at the pound and wormed. Most are also flea treated.

All dogs marked as 'has name' should not be assumed as Safe, many loose that option at the last minute and need rescue after all.

Hawkesbury is a very large pound, with a high turnover of dogs. Kennel space is premium for obvious reasons.

If you are able to assist a dog please get them out of the pound asap. Failure to do so may impeed on other very needy souls arriving at the shelter.

Please contact Ann at HP, leave a message now or before early a.m. prior to PTS, or it will be too late.

Cessnock City Council now has its own website with photos and info on the animals available. Here is the link to their Animal Gallery for avaliable dogs: http://www.cessnock.nsw.gov.au/rangers/shelter/forsale. If you've lost you dog in the Cessnock region, it maybe impounded at the pound, so please visit the impounded animals section here: http://www.cessnock.nsw.gov.au/rangers/shelter/lost.

Please note there are also cats and kittens available for adoption from the pound. Please visit their link above for further details.


Please Sign the Petition!


Kurri Pound has several issues which have resently been raised at Council. These issues involve the following:

1) Longer opening hours consistent with general business hours instead of the current four hours per week.

2) The move to a general do-not-kill policy where the vast majority of animals are given a significantly better chance for rescue or adoption.

3) A volunteer program wherein suitable members of the public can help out at the pound in a manner deemed suitable by staff.

4) Improved facilities for both staff and the impounded animals to ensure a safer and healthier environment.

5) Vastly improved security arrangements to ensure animals are not stolen, vandalism to the facility is eliminated, and staff can conduct their employment in a safe environment.

6) Full implementation of the recommendations issued in the “REPORT ON THE SECTION 430 INVESTIGATION INTO CESSNOCK CITY COUNCIL” in respect to the pound.

Council, however, has turned around & offered instead to merely open the pound for one extra hour a day. So enough is enough. Please follow this link, read the petition, & sign: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/cessno...imal-pound.html

Thank you


A few more announcements before I get to this weeks dogs & pups.

The Pound staff would love to hear back about REHOMING STORIES, from pound dogs, as they wish to put up a big board displaying all the dogs which have gone onto their forever loving homes.

Secondly the pound needs some help. They are always short of towels, blankets, sheets, toys for both cats & dogs, not to mention treats, & even food. They understand they aren't the only ones in need of such things, but would greatly appreciate any such donation(s). You can drop off such items at either the pound, during their opening hours, or at the Cessnock Council Administration building, at the Customer Service desk, in Vincent Street, Cessnock.


The pound has been inundated with kittens. Yes, sadly, it's that time of the year & there's lots of them at the pound. Adoption prices are $177 for males & $236 for females. The rangers hope some will be saved over the following week or two otherwise they'll be facing the bridge beyond.


The next is an important yet simple message from the senior ranger.

Vaccinate your dogs!

• Please ensure that you immunise your pet by 6 - 8 weeks of age.

• Ensure that you immunise your pet annually.

• Do not socialise your pet in public places until it is fully vaccinated (boosters included).

Previous Pups Still In Need




URGENT

Donation on Offer!

Impound #: 11085
Name:
Breed: Staffy x mastiff "type"
Sex: Female
Age: 12 months
Due: NOW
Temperament: The story goes that the original owner, who has moved to Darwin NT, gave away this girl to a new owner but never updated the registry details (& they didn't keep them). So this poor girl is stuck at the refuge for the 14 days. Nonetheless she is a very sweet girl who's friendly & playful.

UPDATE: This poor girl, who's really lovely, is getting a touch desperate as she's been at the refuge now for close to three weeks. So it'd great if she could go soon

FURTHER UPDATE: This poor girl is still here, making her stay now close to five weeks. What's worse is her behaviour is starting to deteriorate. So I don't know how much time she has left.

DONATION OFFER: butch's dad has made the following generous donation pledge:

Notes re Blacktown's Tender System

1) Minimum tender price is $60 (current for 2009/10)
2) Lifetime registration costs are $40 for a desexed dog ($15 if on a pension), or $150 for an entire dog
3) Microchipping cost is $25

If a dog is already registered and chipped then only the tender fee applies.

There is a free desexing clinic but it can only accept 10 dogs a week (and a maximum of three large dogs) - if a dog requires desexing and there is no room in the program, the Pound will hold the dog until the following week only - IF there is space available.

Any surrenders, or dogs that have passed their due date and received no tenders, can be purchased for $55 plus registration and chip costs (if applicable).

Miscellaneous

All dogs under the age of 2 years are vaccinated when they enter the Pound - but this is only a temporary vaccination.

Rescue groups with a clause 16d are able to obtain dogs from the Pound at no cost, once the dogs have reached their due date, and if they have received no tenders.

Adopt a Pound Animal
Cowra Council’s Adopt a Pound Animal Program aims to reduce the euthanasia of small animals that are brought to the pound with no identification. Pound Animals that are adopted are microchipped by Council to reduce the cost of registration by the new owner.

To adopt a Pound Animal you need to pay only the following registration fees:
• $150 for undesexed dog or cat
• $40 for undesexed dog or cat owned by a registered breeder
• $40 for a desexed dog or cat
• $15 for a desexed dog or cat owned by an eligible pensioner.

If you wish to give one of these Pound Animals a home you will need to contact Cowra Council on (02) 6340 2041 to schedule an appointment.

The info I have for 'Peter' is as follows : "For this week's advertisement we have a 7 year old Male Corgi Cross Kelpie named Peter. The dog was surrendered to the pound by its owners and has a good nature." For further information please ring the number above. Again, I can help with transport if necessary.

Brandy and Choco surrendered as their family has a new baby and no time for them. I guess this is a better option than neglecting them

Brandy is 4-5 years old female social and friendly Mastiff x Ridgeback

Choco is a 2 year old female Kelpie x Lab.

Canterbury Council contracts Fairford Road Animal Hospital to board stray animals from the Canterbury Municipality. Council holds animals with no identification for 7 days, and animals with microchips for 14 days, unless they are collected by their owner. Animals not claimed may be available for adoption after their holding period.

HI all,

Special plea for 5 three week old kittens surrendered to kurri pound today. They have little hope of survival at the pound unless someone can take them into DOC.
Any help appreciated.
Sorry no pics and no further info at all, you would have to enquire with the pound.

Thanks

I do know that the Akita is due about now. Please contact Melton pound directly to make any enquiries.
