They aren't going to ban the sale of rescue dogs from approved rescue facilities in the lovely shop window, but only dogs bred for profit? You either ban one or all I say… Seriously!? VERY few rescues have ever placed a pet into a shop window and no rescue is doing it for even $1 of profit. The profit on the rescue animals has already been made by the person who bred and sold the animal in the first place. The shop makes a profit by selling the accessories they hope people will buy to go with the animal. So is it the dent in your profit you are against or just the limited number of dogs? From your comments you want less laws but more laws. It doesn't make sense. No it doesn't. Puppy farms easily pass their relevant compliance regulations as well.

General questions. Why is it more for mains registered? Do any breeders desex their limited registered to stop them being byb?

That's ok, I don't talk about it much. Rescue is just keep putting one foot in front of the other or it starts to get to you. :) So Bertrand: neglect, all sorts of neglect to the needs of any living thing. Basically ignoring him until he had a long shopping list of problems inside and out. No physical abuse from what we can tell. And all reversible thank goodness. He miraculously hadn't suffered any organ damage yet which was a huge relief. He was weak, a barely walking skeleton but still had some fight left in him and helped every inch of the way by being an awesome little guy who got visibly better every day. So I won't take full credit. lol He's the best. Go Bertie Beetle!

Thank you The hair he had left was snapped and brittle and his skin was awful, now he has a shiny coat and great skin. I must say though, the day we collected him i wanted to punch someone for what they had done to him.

I've no idea if a vet can refuse but IF it were me I'd show them the door or offer to board the dog for 24hrs while they settle down. Many people completely freak out when they see their trusted and loved dog kill something like a lizard or a possum (rabbit, guinea pig etc), it's a gut reaction, very confronting and changes the way they see their pet, the owner may just need a bit of explaining and time to come to terms with what dogs do.

6 weeks of daily Coconut oil applied (and a decent diet). No dandruff or itching, he was much more comfortable. There is still two callouses on his bottom but they are down to a 5c piece. I recommend it. It may not be suited to your dog's coat but if anyone is casually reading this then here is what it can do. :)

Oh no that's so sad. I often refer adopters to her site if they want to do some extra homework. She was such a wealth of information. I hope her family is ok.

:) Yes I'd have to agree that a breed search would not work out the way you'd expect. And some of the breed I.D's are way off although with 'pure' dogs you're hardly likely to make a mistake on visual breed identification of for example a hairless crested, shar pei or a pug. They look like what they are. But I can't count how many dogs have been labelled silky or silky cross when there's not so much as an eyelash that looks anywhere near one. Tibbies.... often called shihtzu cross when they aren't even close. You can always use google anyway to find a breed you want but it relies on the dog being properly identified. Same with cats.

Oh dear I'm so sorry. They seemed to be have a going out of business sale, so you may not be paid at all.

Yep. But then there's the fact that just because you are new you're not automatically useless. And just because you have a clause doesn't make you legit. In the end. If you're pulling dogs and cats out for strangers (who cares if they call themselves rescue!) who are then in turn helping their mates get animals out and nobody knows where they end up or what vetwork is done then: you're a nitwit. Who has totally missed the point that rescue is more than making sure an animal isn't PTS. And who is seriously overestimating their own ability to spot a liar.

:laugh: I noticed that too. But at least if someone google's the name the thread will be here and they might think twice about lending their clause out.

I've been told that if you read enough on the FB page you'll be able to work out who has sent at least one of the dogs. I'm not naming names but :laugh: promises promises. edit: yes Anne you're reading correctly. Not vaccinated.

Love it! :D Well done with her rehab

That's what I was hoping to be messaged about but I didn't hear anything so the snapshots are up now. Maybe it will stop more dogs being sent. Although they are closing down according to the ads.

I was suss too but hoped it was just me Didn't want to say anything. Like that missing boy up in Kendall, you can't help but wonder and hope you are wrong.

Yep It's a shame really, and nothing will stop people doing it. Animals escape the PTS but a clause holder has no say over what happens afterwards. I think very few realise that. Having a chip in your name means absolutely nothing when it comes to getting your animal returned, you cannot get it back just because it's in your name. If you're very lucky and it ends up impounded so you can reclaim. And signing an animal over without proof of vetwork is plain stupid. I am trying to protect the clause holder from guilt by association by not posting all the snapshots I've got but so far nobody has stepped up. Dogs are not being desexed, ads have been pulled because a "troublemaker" kicked up a stink. edit meh, may as well add some as nobody seems to have noticed. Country co-ords may recognise some of their dogs. I pray these dogs are safe and DESEXED by now.

(title changed to update thread) Can somebody please contact me if they have used your clause to pull dogs. I have some screenshots for you in my inbox. ta Anna

:rainbowbridge: :rainbowbridge: Rest in Peace little Jack. xxxx

:laugh:

That sounds absolutely amazing :) thank you for sharing. edit: i've just put the link in our e-news *fingers crossed*

Voted! Please tell me more about it. :) Sounds very interesting.

She looks very happy :) She sounds healthy and happy. Look fantastic, and is still enjoying herself. If you're worried about walking there is a rear leg type sling that you lift&hold as they walk so their legs aren't taking the full weight but still getting a little exercise. I can look it up if you like. One of our larger retired dogs (RIP Byron) used to have one, we needed to make sure he was not going to slip when out for a pee and sniff. Yep, he was still trying to cock his leg! Cartrophen injections are very good. A series of four and repeated when the effects wear off. And for a joint supplement, the best one I've tried is Joint Performance, stocked in a few horsey stores or order it direct. jointperformance.com.au The doggy one is bacon flavoured lol. It's a vague thing to say 'you'll know when it's time' but you really do. There's just no easy way to prepare so go day by day and spoil her silly. LOL DD@bits falling off. :laugh:

Sorry but why Cairns? Has that been explained anywhere?

What does she mean they had no right to take him? How can it be an unlawful order of destruction when as far as I can see they got every single notification and chose to ignore them. And then claimed the dog was dead.
