  1. Hi. I can also reccommend SLK rescue. They specialise in cattle dogs and are in NSW. Lovely lady runs it. Their facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/SLKCattleDogRescue They probably have a website too, but I am familiar with the facebook page.
  2. The so called 'rescue group' that is involved in this should be ashamed of themselves. The tactics they use to try and 'recruit' foster carers is a joke. We all know who they are and we all know that they will use bullying and emotional blackmail regularly. We have seen case after case of dogs somehow affiliated with this rescue group being PTS (as Am Staffs being sent to Victoria), dogs ending up back at the pound, dogs killing other dogs, dogs going missing, falling off trucks etc etc. If they just stopped for a second and looked at how to run a foster carer system with a shred of integrity none of these things would happen. You can always be sure that when you hear about some sort of mishap (to understate) it somehow ties back to THAT group. It is a case of the blind leading the blind, where they will advocate for the 'saving' of dogs and put them in worse situations.In fact they couldn't care less about where the dogs go, as long as it is out of the pound. I work my arse off in rescue and damned if I am going to let a bunch of know nothing hothead imbeciles ruin it for everyone. Its time they were shut down - before rescue as a whole goes down with them. In case it is not clear I am really sick to death of their irresponsibility and I suggest some sort of a boycott of their pages, advertising, sharing etc until they disappear!
  3. There is no excuse at all for not gettting back to people. It is very unprofessional. Unfortunately there are alot of new rescue groups coming on to the scene that are not as 'shall I say' reputable as others. I hope this does not deter you from welcoming a dog into your life that really needs that second chance. Sadly there are too many of them out there.
  4. I am of the understanding that there are guidelines being worked out for rescue to work with this pound at the moment. I have spoken to the pound manager who advised me that they had had bad experiences with rescue in the past. We all know that this is something not totally out of the question. Our rescue group has also had contact with the pound and we are hopeful of being able to help the pooches in need soon. I want to add too, as was mentioned already, that I think it would be better to take the slow, diplomatic approach. Councils are not obliged to work with rescue. Whilst the kill rate at this facility is unacceptably high, I think baby steps are needed to win their trust and support.
