Terribly, terribly sad and unnessecary. I hate to think why they are crossing a koolie with a small terrier - Toolie anyone?

Splurk

PS are you talking about the breeder or the breed? :laugh:

Silly stutter

Sent you a PM Perry's mum to see if we can help

Beautiful love her ears!!

Decide now what you want puppy to do and not to do and stick to it, start out the way you want pup to be, what is cute while they are young may not be so cute in a year or so.

I love crate training for our rescues, make sure the crate is large enough, start by feeding treats and letting pup spend time in there with door open, make it a good place. Our rescues are in their crate to sleep at night and for meals, the rest of the time the door is open and we will often find them asleep in there. It gives them space of their own, keeps them contained when you can't monitor them if they are bench surfers or like to chew all the wrong things. If any of our rescues need to spend time at the vets or are injured and need to be kept quiet, they can be crated which won't add extra stress to their situation.

Congratulations on your new pup, look forward to seeing photos

Poor kitten, so many changes in such a short time

I wouldn't rehome a kitten or puppy at that age, I might advertise them but they wouldn't leave my care until about 10 weeks for either.

OMG that is horrible, I know some country pounds still shoot dogs but to do it at a public tip is disgraceful.

Gotta hope the guy was a good clean shot, would hate to think of dogs still being alive and suffering after being thrown on the tip

M-sass has never shown any tact.

I'm sorry Rozzie. Please ignore him/her.

Yep, I already have them on ignore.

M-Sass is a troll who has been trolling DOL for a long time under many different user names.

I can't believe the owners got away with just a $550 fine

If you know this for certain - Troy would probably like to know about this

Rozzie, your previous post sent shivers down me as I read it, horrible for everyone concerned

I hate the fact that these neighbours are not taking responsibility for the situation and are now risking others with their reaction, I truly hope this doesnt happen again

Gosh she is gorgeous

You get some beautiful dogs T

what a fright, hope everything goes ok at the vets today

I agree with everyone here, this was a preventable tragedy.

So sad Sarge was taken in this way, my sincere condolences to you and your family Rozzie

RIP Sarge

Good luck for today, hope everything goes well

Probably best thing would be to find a rescue group and work with them - hopefully someone will come along with some suggestions for your area (I am in WA)

Find a reputable rescue that will offer support and help for you through the whole process of fostering, they will want to do a property check to make sure you can keep the dogs safely.

There are quite a few people here that foster so I am sure you will get lots of advice

Good on you for offering to help you can never have enough foster carers

Congratulations, love his name too

he is gorgeous

I am adding my Thank You to Wayrod also, he has helped me to rescue a beautiful Manx from Renbury Farm

So sorry for your loss

RIP Basil

Well we have bought a single metal one shaped like a bone and have had "I am a foster dog" on one side and on the other our rescue group name and phone number

We have also been sent a couple of links to some bulk dog tags that in the future we will look at purchasing as doing it one at a time is pretty pricey

Thanks for all the responses - its interesting to read what others are doing

Any ideas how to get hold of him? I think his inbox muxt be full

I have posted on his wall and he has responded there as well

I have spoken to him by phone and he told he does international travel as well as domestic - his prices are good too

Its soo true, I am crap at taking photos of my guys, really wish I had a decent camera and some talent :laugh:

Its great to see a photographer helping out and making a difference thanks for sharing

Well we have our first foster carer who this weekend is getting his first dog from us. I will be supplying collar and tag for the dog, collar is no problem but am not sure where to get tags from and what sort would be best

I would like to buy several or a bulk lot so I dont have to rush around each time I foster out a dog. Also I am not sure how easy it will be to retrieve them once the dog is sold so will need to keep some on hand

I have seen some rescues use the plastic key tags the old fashioned ones my mum and dad used to use but if they get wet, the water would ruin any writing inside and they look not so great too

Curious to see what other people use and if anyone can recommend a supplier for them?

Do you know if they are renting? Might be worth having a chat to their landlord if they are

Could you try some recycling places or Freecycle online to find some fencing that you could put up? MIght not look pretty but be functional enough to keep their dog out

Its horrible to feel like a prisoner in your own home (or your dog)

:thumbsup:

Great photos, the seaweed ones are awesome

Thanks for sharing, always love the photos of your pack - well any photo you take really

Very interesting, it is all about education, the earlier we educate the better choices are made

Thank yu for posting
