I feel like a broken record and have posted this a few times before but our adoption rates have not changed at all since we left. Rescuers; if you're scared to leave, do a trial run. Advertise your dogs anywhere and everywhere and you will still keep getting adoptions. Try Rescue Network, Pound Paws, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, E-newsletters, Gumtree , build a cheap and cheerful website, blog about your animals, notice boards, go to council/community run adoption days, even trivia nights to get your name out there .... and there's more I'm sure. Oh and brand your material such as adoption forms etc so people know who you are, remember to do post adoption followup calls or emails too. You don't have to be big, just pro-active and thinking outside of the box. As for the new system. WTF? You'd have to be crazy.

Good for the dreaded poo-toe! I recall a similar thing in the snowy areas of the US to get the mud and salt (salt they put down to melt the snow) off doggy paws.

Not sure really but I assume that means she will have regular inspections and custody of animals would have to be approved by them.

I don't actually know this rescue or what happened other than the article. https://www.smh.com.au/national/queensland/animal-rescuer-guilty-of-neglect-had-been-asking-for-donations-20190228-p510r4.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed Sorry there's a couple of grubby photos so I've only put the link in case people find it upsetting.

As above. You might find some lab cross puppies in rescue.

Used sparingly. Liverwurst

I think Hazywal would love to see her thread back up again. Thank you Panto.

No not worth the risk. I used to use the fenced park locally but the rough play is scary. I know it's often a nice time of day for park friends to catch up and talk about dogs but I've heard too many 'ooof' sounds as one dog ploughs into another. And seen some really stressful play (I mean it stresses me because the body language and behaviour is really wrong).

Bunch of gronks.

Apparently rescue now has access to the sender's email. Going by a couple of comments I think that function has been amended.

They've just rolled out (with no announcement to members) a new chat system, replacing the old message system, which gives only them access to inquirer details - withholding them from rescues - and giving themselves ability to read the chat. Hopefully @shel will put a better description in the Rescue Section. We quit them a while ago now so I don't have access to examples.
