Gorgeous !!!!!! Love the names and you're right, they look like they're going to big boys......

Well done mum and RIP the ones that didnt make it.

I'd like to take a minute here to recognise and thank everyone who helped get Zeus to his carer. The folks from Needy Paws Rescue in Griffith sprung him from the pound and drove him to Narrandera, where I collected him and brought him to Wagga. Melindy, who is a member of BFPR, then gave temp care for a few weeks until he was vetworked and organised for transport to his AWDRI foster home. A great example of different groups working together to get a dog to safety

I really, really need a like button

Yep...me too

Would Linda from AWL be an option for this boy? (I know she has a soft spot for GSDs and I'm sure someone on here would have her number if you needed it.)

I have Linda's number if you need it....just pm me :)

Does this boy still need help Panto?

Thanks for posting that Kirislin....just love the Lurchers!

I find that not a lot of people know what they are though (unless you're English ;) )so when I list them in rescue thread I usually call them Wolfie x (which half the time they're not ) or just big scruffers,lol

This thread just caught my eye.....had to call a snake catcher yesterday too.

Sitting in lounge on computer when something slithered by and went under tv. I dont know my snakes too well so called the snake guy to be safe....turned out to be an Eastern Brown which apparently are not friendly,lol

Fortunately it must have slithered passed the sleeping dogs

Was told that spraying Phenyl around outside will help keep them away anyone know if this is true?

He also said that if they're climbers (I see them sometimes on top of the brick wall and on my bathroom louvre window ! )that usually they're not venomous.....is that an old wives tail ?

I have no legal advice either but can only imagine the damage a big boofer breed would do to a greyhound.

Hope she recovers ok....greys are such big sooks.

I agree as well...those pics are beautiful

Bumping this guy up.....very sad situation.

Im sure there's someone that can help this boy...will keep everything crossed for him

Had a family looking for a kelpie , mentioned this boy but they want a female.

POM what area are you in

Kew, Victoria :)

Thanks POM...my son and his wife live in Kew and they have a Retriever, will let them know. :)

Have just found this old thread to bump back up again........

Apparently the old kelpie (Kip, about 6-7 years I think ) and also the cat are still in Fernleigh !!!

The owner came out of jail before xmas and used to go to the kennels to see his animals and take Kip for a walk, but he was having a hard time finding a house that would let him keep his pets . He still didnt pay towards their keep at all but Karen agreed to hold them while he found accomodation.

They are still there and owner has ended up in jail again. Costs for these two are around $3000 of which there have been kind donations of around $1500...for which Max and Karen are very grateful.

They cant rehome them unless the owner surrenders them so I think someone from the authorities are going to see him in the jail next week.

These two have been kept in kennels for far too long now so fingers crossed the owner does the right thing and lets them both go to rescue where hopefully they will be able to be in a home again before too long.

My wolfhound had these on both elbows, think they started about 5/6 months.

I also got advised to leave them alone and they will go eventually (which they did ).

Vet said they can insert a drain but didnt advise it, just creates a site for infection to enter. He used to flop down on the tiles all the time...very hard to get them to lie on a soft bed when its so hot.

Rileys were the size of a small grapefruit!

Tried to zoom in on this pic but got a bit blurry....well put it this way if he still has the wrong bits the vets in Wagga will be in trouble as I have copy of desex cert.

What a stunning boy... but do I see "boy bags" in that last photo?? I'm sure there's a reason they are still there, right?

T.

What !! ?? Just had to double check pic...he's definately been desexed!! He wouldnt have been rehomed with no vetwork done !!

Adopter drove up from Vic and picked him up from Wagga vet, maybe she took this pic just after she got home and was still a bit swollen.

Just had an update about this gorgeous boy that was left in the middle of nowhere, very emaciated and had bad diarrhea for ages.

Has taken him a while to trust once more and hardly leaves his adopters side for fear of being left again.His name is Alfie.

He has a Pug and foxy to keep him company.

Pound pics

and now

If all the rescues went for the easy to rehome dogs...ie the littlies and SWF's what would happen to all the bigger, boofer types, the big scruffers, the brindle ones.....etc

I agree the turnover (for want of a better word ) would be faster but its not always about saving the easier ones, they all deserve a chance, but I do understand what you're saying Muttrus.

I have a number for her from a long time ago..dont know if still current, will pm you.

He looks gorgeous :) Not sure if he's pure or not but what a cutie anyway, I think he may be a fine boned Rottie.

Yep..its really strange.

I suppose Anthony can delete all his posts but where do everyone else's go to ??

Someone must know the answer,lol

Where has the Griffith thread gone ?

Went to check to see if all had rescue and its gone....pftt, :laugh:

not even in past rescues either.

Sometimes we have to tell little white lies to spare others pain,,specially the littlies (humans that is )

RIP little kitty!

Maloney has gone on trial to a wonderful new home!! I really hope it works out for him!

We met at the dog park yesterday & they said they weren't going to make any decisions on the day, by the time they left they asked if I could come and do a yard check then I get there & they ask if he can stay They're going on holidays but plan to take him with them & their other dog. Hopefully they will post some pictures on the facebook page soon

Thats great news Thanks so much for helping him Alex
