Further to the plight of the Border Collies at risk. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/rspca-urged-to-rehome-murray-mallee-border-collies-after-expert-recommends-immediate-euthanasia/news-story/5990ddd48fdc57e94c590166c3ed0880?utm_source=DailyTelegraph&utm_campaign=EditorialSF&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_content=SocialFlow&fbclid=IwAR2zi8CJdwekO-bmm6iJz8fP4zqn7Saae9Hnddb4JAzxpioP94dwLXvu8to "WISH Animal Rescue Team Perth WA 29 March at 22:34 · ❤ Think we have been a bit quiet over the last week, well looks can be deceiving. Last week we were asked to take in 16 Border Collies from South Australia. We hit the road first thing Saturday morning at 5am, for the massive trip across the border, and ended bringing home 31 dogs to WA. Our biggest rescue mission ever at 5500km and 5 days on the road, where we just slept, tried to get meals after driving 10-15 hour days and drove and drove. 1. Are these the ones the RSPCA SA are holding and claim to be un-rehomable? NO. But they are from the same breeding facility that these original 10 adults, and 5 puppies were seized from. The RSPCA claim that the 15 dogs they seized, are not suitable for foster care as "Foster care was not an option for these dogs, as they have never known the domestic pet home environment". Sadly 4 have since birthed in the shelter, resulting in 5 stillbirth and 4 puppies "humanely euthenised". Thus leaving 23 puppies still in care. 2. Today the appeal to release these 33 dogs has been dismissed. The RSPCA now have full control over their future. And further to that, 23 are PUPPIES, 18 of which were born in their care. ❤ Well out of the 31 we have 26 females-mothers included and 5 boys. Will we have 100% success rate in getting these dogs rehomable, at absolutely no cost to the RSPCA. They are not aggressive, simply scared. And guess what, every singe one is in foster care, in real homes, with families, children, and other pets! Has it cost us? YES over $5000 Is it worth it? HELL YES!!!! Are the dogs scared? Yes. But we have seen absolutely NO aggression at all, NOTHING. They are amazing gentle BC's that deserve our time and patience and a home to call their own. ❤ We have put out a plea to the RSPCA to allow us to take on the remaining 33 dogs that they have in care, and we will take on full responsibility from this point forward. Our email received a generic response. We have feet on the ground in SA, ready to collect these dogs if we were allowed to, but sadly this seems to be rejected, and for what appears to be no good reason. Our petition shows that 45000 of you want the RSPCA to take the help offered and allow us the chance to help and let rescues step in. And 45000 people, can't be WRONG !!! ❤ Please RSPCA, do the right thing and allow us to help you. After all, isn't that what rescue is meant to be about? Helping the animals.... lets leave the politics aside and give these dogs a fighting chance. There is enough rescues out there ready and waiting. ❤ Dont you DARE euthanise these mums or pups, they are all siblings/relatives to ours. Dont you bloody dare.... ❤ We are not in it for money-we are in it for the love and this, more than proves our commitment to them all. Please note-no one is available for adoption at this stage. No emails will be responded to for now. The page will be notified, when they are ready for their new homes, we promise to let you know x"

I am a little puzzled, wouldnt they let you pay what you had and then pay the rest soon as you had the rest of the 300? Doesnt sound like any chances were given you to pay it as you got the money, dont they do that? Did you ask the council to accept what you had together and they give it to the rspca if they wouldnt take it from you? go to the papers and the tv fast as you can, adverse publicity is not what they crave maybe that might save him for you............ have to admit I had to pay all they wanted in the one hit but was loaned the balance by friends when I had to find 600 with no prior warning how much they wanted, they had my boy for 13 days and refused to return him until they had tested him for anything they could think of in hopes of finding something wrong they could charge me with. different scenario to your problem

think the biggest problem is animals are all just as individual as people so there is no one size fits all. and yep my mums dont tend to care, others do, never forget a friend who got one of my chihuahua babies I had to raise from two weeks, she was sooooooo autocratic. when she wanted attention the whole house knew it, even if it was 4 in the morning. so wanted to keep her but hubby had enough so at 8 weeks daughters best friend nicked her for her mum,they took her to bed with them, solved that one but opened another, when she wanted to do zoomies she did, except as she ran past their faces those little sharp puppy teeth opened up noses like a zipper. lots of blood later, Marilyn came up with a beauty, began yelping like a murdered puppy. snuff stopped in her tracks, raced back to apologise and cleaned up all the blood. went back to zooming, got too rough more yelps of pain from Marilyn and in no time she was ever so careful not to bite too hard. we were rolling in laughter as she told us....BUT it worked........

Sure did, in spades....

Deb Willett· Story of a puppy. When this puppy was with his dog mom, his mom would do anything to protect him. His mom was assertive, firm, and fair. She ran a tight ship and provided very clear structure to the puppies. The mom would not allow other people or dogs to come bother her puppies when they were not ready. She made the puppies feel very safe knowing that they would be fully advocated for at all time. She would monitor the interaction and correct inappropriate behaviour between the puppies during play consistently. There was a clear structure in place so no one was confused. Then the puppy left the mom and went home with a human. The human family was so excited because this puppy was so cute. They spent all their time hugging and coddling this puppy. They could not leave the puppy alone. They invited all their friends and family members over to see the "new puppy". They would allow many strangers and dogs to "say hi" to the puppy constantly. All the sudden, the puppy's dog mom was no longer there to advocate for this puppy yet her role was not replaced by anyone. Not only that, the puppy is now surrounded by people and animals who would not leave him alone to give him the space he desperately needed to feel secure in a new environment. The puppy was in shock and was confused. He had no one to lean on, no structure to go by. He had no idea how to cope with the stress and there was no guidance. Instead of taking up the position of being the pup's advocate and filled the void left by his dog mom as the leader, the human chose to act even softer and more unstable, weak, and vulnerable by trying to "comfort" this puppy with lots of affection, treats, and soft voices. They hugged him, baby talked to him, bought him lots of cloths, brushed him 290 times a day, and they kept allowing strangers and dogs to approach and greet this puppy because they were told this was "socialization" and would help the puppy to become more confident. They took the puppy to pet shops to further the "socialization" where the puppy was overwhelmed with lots of people with excited and unstable energy with their high pitch voice who could not get their hands off this puppy despite his constant body language pleading to just be left alone. Again, the human did not stop anyone from getting too close too soon as the puppy's dog mom would certainly have. The puppy was very shocked by how clueless and insensitive his owners were. He was used to having his dog mom keeping everything under control but his humans were not doing that at all! Where is mom? Who is here to advocate for me? Then the puppy was taken to dog parks and he was bullied. The human did not seem to notice. Everyone and their dogs were really aroused and excited. It was very overwhelming with no structure and no one was there to advocate for this puppy. The puppy finally had enough so one day when he was on leash, he growled and lunged at these "rude" dogs yet he was corrected immediately. His human freaked out over his growling. They yelled at him and then they hugged him and coddled him. This made the puppy more confused and insecure. He expected his human--who was supposed to be his leader--to understand why he growled and step up calmly to protect him assertively--as he was sure his mom would; instead, he was punished for asking his leader for help, and his human was not calm at all. They looked scared and stressed. How could he trust someone that unstable and weak to protect him? The human was heartbroken. They said, "we love him so much, why isn't he friendly?" "We have taken so much time to socialize him, we have done all the right things, why is he aggressive?" "We have been so nice to him, it makes no sense." They felt guilty, and sorry, and frustrated, and betrayed. The whole household was filled with what was interpreted by the puppy as, once again, a very soft, unstable, and weak energy. That did nothing to fill the void left by the puppy' mom. The puppy's craving for leadership and structure was never even acknowledged. Now the human stayed away from the puppy because they were scared. The puppy was not taken out so he was even more scared of anything outside of his immediate familiar surrounding. How can this puppy trust someone so unstable, weak, and insensitive? How could he have confidence when he had no one to trust and count on? How could he be balanced and stable if he was living under constant anxiety and insecurity? The family felt guilty about locking up the puppy so they decided to take him for a walk. Once outside, the puppy growled, lunged, and tried to charge at a human walking toward him. The puppy felt that he had no other option. He had to take up the role of his mom and protect himself. He had to get the person away before he came too close into his space like others had done hundreds of times in the past. The human was petrified. They could not believe it! What happened to our cute little puppy? We loved him so much, why? He was locked up in his yard for a few months and when he became too big and destructive he was given up to the shelter. Everyone cried. They tried to be honest so they told the shelter the dog was “dog and human aggressive”. He was very stressed and anxious in the shelter. He just wanted to have his space but he was surrounded by barking unstable dogs and lots of humans coming and going all day long all displaying unstable, chaotic, and emotional energy. He kept barking and charging at the fence to tell them to back off. All he ever wanted was just to have someone acting like his mom, someone who would lead and advocate so he could simply follow and finally relax. He did not care for all the nice scarves, all the cute leashes and colorful harnesses, all the home cooked treats, all the squeaky toys, all the expensive beds. He just wanted a leader that he could trust. He had no idea why such a simple need was never met. He was very frustrated, lost, confused, and stressed. But it was too late... He was not a cute puppy anymore. No one wanted an aggressive dog. After a few weeks in the shelter, he was put down. The end.

They are allowed to have their quirks (as I can hear Queen barking at birds outside) after all they are doggies. Hide or report this M T Nailed it. Thanks Deb Willett. Sadly the propensity to humanise animal behaviour is leading to this level of misunderstanding and cruelty to animals everywhere. Never thought of it like that, was given an "aggressive" six months old puppy to re-home. She would attack and bit, the second her food was put in the bowl. A VERY stern NO and great assistance from tdierikx, there hasn't been a hint of aggressive behaviour since. Happy, well behaved ex delinquent. With questioning, that is what they had been doing with her.....as well as taking her food away soon as it was put in the bowl, then handing back, then taking it away, repeatedly, because they had been told that is how you train them not to be food aggressive.

OK? anyone have a clue what this fb post is talking about? "Laura M "You were all too complacent, now look where we are. The death of pedigree dogs is imminent, 5 years max. "Laura M 5 hrs I have never felt so truly disheartened by the future of animals in Australia, Victoria in particular. One day the great and mighty RSPCA will get their way, nodogs will be being breed by just normal 'breeders' who actually know what they are doing, who have put so many years of work into their breeds. (I am focusing on DogsVic breeders here. If you hobby breed a litter of whatever, your days are numbered too, even more if you've got over two entires.) Maybe it's never seemed so real until I printed out the DV supplied forms for everything (Health checks, pre breeding health check, what vet you use page, dog details, dog management pages, ect...) Maybe it's because I own a house, not 10 + concert kennel runs to keep dogs in. Maybe it's because I actually love my dogs and not see them as a commodity. Maybe it's because the cats I have know what it's like to lay on a couch instead of always in cages. Maybe it's because I actually know what I'm doing and not because I've read it in a book. As I look at my dogs curled up together on my bed because it's cold today, the hairless is under the doona because she hasn't got a jacket on just yet. It's things like this that are going to be a thing of the past. One day in time people are going to wake up and realize that there is nothing much left of dog breeds, of people who actually know things, of people who have hands on experience. I read so many comments of people wanting a dog and being told to go to a shelter. That would be fine if I wanted a huge mix breed dog that might eat other dogs, that would be perfect for all the older people wanting a lap dog. When did everything literally go so wrong in this country with animals. When I see puppy farmers promoted every day on a group I am on. When did it become that the likes of the RSPCA (who I never thought I could hate as much as I do now, I did not think it was possible that at just 29 I could find something as utterly revolting as I find that society.) would drive the rules that wants all dogs/cats in size suitable runs for their whole lives, well at least until they have had their allowed amount of litters or hit the age limit where you should either put them down (because dogs don't matter and you couldn't possibility give a damn about them as their owners) or find them a new home (because everything should be thrown out like a rotten vegetable). That a society claiming to be against animal cruelty ect would be the driving force to turn animals from pets into numbers that need to be treated and documented like machines. Now sit back and watch as the future takes away all the things that were normal once before. Watch breeds die out, watch as actual care of dogs and cats slowly die out because if a book doesn't tell us what to do, then who will." Presume there is new even tougher laws being passed, but not heard what they are?

his original post on fb is on page 3 but here it is if you dont want to go looking for it. so he was booked to see the vet 20th march. as you can see his post of 18th march so they acted pretty smartly taking it the next day. A J New member · 18 March at 16:52 I adopted a dog from the RSPCA and he has a sore tooth. I called them so they could help him and did so expecting their assistance because it had only been a couple of weeks since I got him. I had been delayed calling them because I had been in hospital. They told me it was my responsibility and I had a good old go at them for not honouring their promise. Today I had an inspector on my doorstep expecting me to speak to him or he would get a warrant. The police called me and I explained it was over a sore tooth. I haven't heard back and am now concerned they will be back to take this dog that I love so very much. What on earth can I do about this? Thing is, I live 80 Kim's from the nearest RSPCA and for all the resources they have used to come to harass me, they could have checked his tooth. I am so upset and so angry about this. I have never in my 55 years, hurt or neglected an animal and I am stunned by this behaviour.

Forgot to mention, he did have the dog booked with his own vet for that wednesday, but they took it tuesday.

I agree with you Snook, idiot. he never mentioned that when he asked for advice only said he thought it had a sore tooth. nothing else. although makes u wonder how it passed the rspca vet check before sale ? Having said that, when the vet, Mark Lowrey brought me Stringy, carried in his arms, to take home, he was completely unaware he had torn trachea, severe dehydration and pneumonia? he sure looked sick to me and I did ask him "what is wrong with my dog" his reply was "I am happy to examine him at your cost." told him no thanks he is going straight to his own vet. He had to have intravenous fluids and antibiotics overnight to save his life.. so maybe things haven't improved much between 1999 and 2019?

Have some news on Alex. he said he heard the rspca tell the police to commit him. now the half good news. "as well as the newly adopted dog (Row), they took his other dog, cat, kitten (he'd only had a few days) and 2 rats.Yesterday lunchtime they returned all Alex's animals except Row. Yesterday arv, they send the email about prosecuting him.It doesn't get much more perverse." He received this. Further to my situation, from RSPCA legal late today - do they have any idea when to just stop?!? The insanity continues as was expected. You hope they may wake up to themselves, but in typical style, they continue acting like fools! - " Dear Mr Weir We refer to your email below of 21 March 2019, in response to an email from Inspector Jansen that same day. We note that you adopted Row from RSPCA for $29 on 23 February 2019. On that day you acknowledged the health indemnities and the free sick return period of 14 days. These aspects of your purchase of Row would rarely be offered by any other seller, particularly for that sale price, and are more than sufficient to ensure any health concerns passed on at the time of sale are addressed. Your assertion that Row was under warranty is incorrect. It is, with respect, absurd to suggest that RSPCA, a charity for animals, rehoming animals from often unknown backgrounds, ought to warrant an animal for more than the very reasonable period of 2 weeks, or even for life. The provision of veterinary care is a responsibility assumed by owners who take animals into their care, and become persons in charge of those animals. On 16 March 2019, 21 days after adopting Row, and 7 days after the expiry of the free sick return period, you called RSPCA and held an expectation that Row would be treated at RSPCA’s cost for an injury or disease causing pain in the mouth area, and evidenced by Row pawing at his mouth constantly, and dragging his mouth on the floor and walls excessively. You stated that ‘this was not just a minor thing, he is clawing viciously at his face’ and you said that Row was in ‘obvious pain’. You stated that this had been happening ever since you brought Row home from RSPCA. It is concerning that you failed to take reasonable steps to provide treatment for Row, firstly in the period during which that treatment would have been free of charge, and secondly in the ensuing 7 days, particularly given your acknowledgment of the seriousness of the condition, the advice provided to you by RSPCA, and the pain that Row was suffering. The Inspector intends submitting an application for prosecution in relation to what in his view was a breach of your duty of care owed to Row, by you failing to take reasonable steps to provide appropriate treatment for his disease or injury. At that time, an application for disposal order will be made, requesting the court transfer ownership of Row to RSPCA. The Prosecutions Committee will consider that application and make the decision within 28 days of the day Row was seized from you. In the interim, boarding and veterinary costs will continue to accrue while Row is in the care of RSPCA. Boarding is $22 per day in addition to veterinary costs. Boarding costs are currently $176.00, and veterinary costs to date are $207.50. If you were to surrender Row prior to 4.00pm this Friday, the boarding and veterinary costs will be waived. Your surrender of Row, considered to be cooperation, will be taken into account in the prosecution committee’s consideration of the Inspector’s application early next week. We urge you to seek urgent legal advice, from a qualified lawyer, particularly in relation to the surrender of Row. We would be pleased to discuss the matter in person with you or your legal representative. Please feel free to contact our office directly should you have any questions. Thank you.

I think anyway. from what I copied and pasted from his first question he never said what they are saying he said in that letter from them. I know from one of the nice inspectors, told me they want to make it any more than five pets can be labeled as hoarding and want it made legal they can be seized on that alone.

it was over 20 years ago, maybe 30, so dont think advocate was on the market, Although I doubt it would have worked for the Cavalier with the low immune system. apparently in the case of chihuahua's its quite difficult to treat without killing the dog they said and they were fine on the low dose . as was the Cavi

totally depends on the cause of the itch and sometimes that can be really hard to find out. case one, friends lab, he was terrible, coat falling out, sore skin the vets anti allergy injections were working less and less and finally he was put down, she also had a purebred chihuahua girl who she had put in pup to my dog. so I got one pup for the service and so liked two of them I bought the other, by the time I picked them up and had turned 12 weeks I noticed were loving fur on their feet and skin beginning to redden. took them to sydney uni to discover they had mange, Sarcoptic mange is contagious, and most dogs catch the disease via direct contact with an infected individual. the kind of mange foxes get. Chihuahua's cant have standard mange washes, it kills them so the vet put them on low dose ivermectin sheep drench not sure what was added to make it very low dose but they had a few drops on the tongue every day and it was cured. Once cured it never returned. Their mum also began losing coat and I told her Cobbity's diagnosis and sure enough mum had it too... with hinsight she had probably caught it from the poor Lab her vet had never diagnosed correctly. as he was notorious for digging up fox dens. Was pretty upset to realise because her vet had never looked past allergy, he might have been saved so much suffering and saved if he had been treated for mange instead. case two. Cavalier boy, skin on tummy and body began to redden and get itchy then hair falling out after he had his second vaccination, vet suspected lowered immune system was causing Demodectic Mange — overgrowth of mites, Demodex sp., that are normally found in small numbers in a dog's skin. he too was put on low dose Ivermectin and cleared up in no time, except once he seem cured it came back as soon as the dosage was stopped. Vet put him back on it and cleared up again, after a year or so his owner stopped giving it to him when they moved and it returned in a few months, in his case he had be be on low dose ivermectin for the rest of his life or it came back. His immune system never normalised after the vaccinations he received for parvo and distemper. He lived a long and happy life making it to 16, long as he had his dosage, so long term it had no deleterious effect and sure make certain he never caught heartworm either might be worth asking about ? In both cases it looked similar, yet very different cause.

BEEN GOING on for decades, cannot unsee, the neighbours sheep standing in shock, all her skin torn off, so just a bright pink sheep with her side open, no way to save her.. we did save the two goats, the rips in their sides could be stitched up as their insides hadn't fallen out, around here our neighbours dont call the police, they shoot them on sight. They came back in broad daylight a week later to finish the goats off. luckily they were spotted and a ring around ensured even the one that got away out of the paddock never made it home either that time. At times like that guns are seriously usefull. it was learned all up 36 goats and sheep had died locally before that pack was eliminated, all were so called "pets" that were not kept home. or supervised when let out of their homes for "a run".

There are now photos of the seized pets. I understand attempts to get tv and media to go with the story has so far been zilch

well an update. no wonder he hasnt been back to the fb page since his last posts on monday. at least he is in hospital and not home alone as feared. been asked to share as wide as possible but have my doubts anything will come of the calls for accountability for a few more years yet if not decades barring a miracle, pray he makes it. Trouble with ptsd this is just going to compound it more on top of his previous ptsd difficulties. if only he had just stuck to his two cats and one dog and never bought the second but cant change that mistake.

found out more about Alex in Qld who made the mistake of ringing the rspca when he spotted the dog he bought from them had a sore tooth. He had two cats and one other dog. When they came on Tuesday aside from taking the dog they sold him they took both the cats and his other dog as well, have refused to even say where they are. At this point no reason was given for taking them other than his mental condition, no charges have been laid. This is rspca qld. apparently the original photo i put was exactly what happened to make him open the door. I expect nothing can be done to help him get any back. So hope people can stay with him, he so needs to not be left alone, ptsd is a terrible thing to deal with. From what I have learned presently he is totally alone so pray he can hang in until help arrives. apparently there is a group attempting to get this made public in the press and media, I suspect, but hope I am wrong, but if past is anything to go by the only media release aired or printed will be from the rspca. . eg

Just received an email from Animal Welfare. such a different story and outcome to the so sad one for the poor border collies. I particulary noticed the sentance I highlighted which I have found worked for any with pups I looked after too only posted the last of it as its very long otherwise. " “I was just shocked, I couldn’t believe the state that this gorgeous girl was in. I truly didn’t think she would make it, I remembered telling the team including volunteers not to get attached to Buffy and her puppy because I knew how heart breaking it would be if they didn’t pull through.” – Dr Deshaylia Moodley While Buffy was under close monitoring, the vet team now had a helpless little newborn puppy in their care. Buffy could not care for Rupert. She could barely lift her head or open her eyes when he cried. Adoringly named Rupert, this little male puppy and sole survivor of his mother’s heartbreaking experience, was also in need of critical attention. Rupert was bottle-fed a specific formula by caring vet nurses around-the-clock during the time of Buffy’s recovery. But what Rupert needed most, was his mother. “One morning I came in to see that Buffy was awake and finally looking brighter. Her small body curled around Rupert, almost trying to protect him” – Dr Deshaylia Moodley Two weeks on from her surgery, Buffy was on the mends and finally able to look after her very excited puppy. Rupert was essential for Buffy’s recovery and helped her overcome her fear of humans. It was soon clear that this tiny girl was afraid of people being near her and was timid even with the gentlest of nurses. Her emotional recovery had only just begun. With loving care, and slow interaction, Buffy eventually began to trust the regular faces she would recognise. The vet nurses that tended to her wound, the Veterinarians who would routinely monitor her, and the volunteers who would offer her a kind hand. Slowly but surely, Buffy was learning how to receive and give affection. After learning to trust, Buffy began to reveal her incredibly sweet and gentle personality. It takes an entire team to care for these animals in need and without your support, we simply cannot do the vital work that we do. Please consider a gift to ensure we can continue to care for animals like Buffy who urgently need us in times of crisis. "

so incredibly sad and what an indictment of their stupidity. when my friend Nancy had a heart attack I ended up with all her bitches to care for. None of them was happy in any way when I had to catch and put them in carry cages instead of their adored owner. Talking here of chihuahua's who can be incredibly loyal to just one person when its a one owner home, her children had married and her husband had died. As they had to be removed to my home I had no option but to catch them, nine tried barking and growling at me, but didn't actually bite me. five bit me full depth of their teeth, I think that counts as aggression. three months later all could be called and handled without risk of being bitten even though the five biters, still were convinced I had stolen them and still looking for Nancy. do not consider myself a dog whisperer, just bribed em with treats. the ones who were in pup bonded with me as soon as they had their puppies and I had their scent on me, smooth sailing after that with them so I am doubly astonished at the report per the ones who had puppies??????? they must be so longing for their humans, so sad for them Nancy's girls went utterly nuts with delight, when she finally came home from hospital and that was almost six months later , it was miracle she didn't die, over half the muscle in her heart had died.

Yes, its truly tragic what happened. How sweet that baby alpaca is, so beautiful, yet so sad for the one who died for no reason other than no sense of responsibility of the person who owned the dog.

oh dear, just heard they weren't content with just taking the dog, apparently he had another pet and they took it too on the grounds that as he had ptsd , a mental health issue, none of his pets were safe. so hope he is ok and has friends to help him. so lesson for today, never admit to them you have a problem obviously

Found the origional OP POSTS on fb asking for advice. apparently they took the dog yesterday. A J New member · 18 March at 16:52 I adopted a dog from the RSPCA and he has a sore tooth. I called them so they could help him and did so expecting their assistance because it had only been a couple of weeks since I got him. I had been delayed calling them because I had been in hospital.

A J I can't afford to at the moment. S B . Then I am sorry but you should not have adopted the dog. Can't afford a vet you shouldn't have a pet M M The main thing is the dog should be at a vet, a sore tooth is agony, could you not set up a payment plan with your vet? T S Vetpay might be able to help u. J L RSPCA obviously doesn't want to pay for it. Easier (and cheaper) to seize the dog. They should have checked it before they sold it. S B tooth problems can occur at any time. How would it be cheaper to seize dog. If you adopt a dog as soon as you sign the dog is your responsibility from that moment on. … J L Ya reckon? N C Alex obviously passes the RSPCA s stringent new owner check, that all responsible pet sellers do. And he thought the RSPCA were a caring organisation. It’s the RSPCA being irresponsible S B WOW. Some seem more focused on the hatred of the RSPCA rather than in the suffering of this poor dog A J The RSPCA needs to be held accountable for this situation. If you read my post, they failed to assist in that warranty period and remember I contacted them over the animals tooth and they chose to take that further when I called them on their failure to provide care within a warranty period. This is what this is all about. The animal is fine and eating and happy. He has a sore tooth and isn't compromised in any way regarding his health apart from that. A J Furthermore, it is very important to have an initial agreement that if the animal needs care in the first couple of weeks (especially as my animal is older) it should be provided and not reflect at all on my ability to care for the animal. T S 5 freedoms of animal Care. Free from pain and discomfort. The rspca needs to be held accountable yes, but the dog needs treatment before the infection goes deeper. Please look into vetpay, or after pay, or something like that if u can't afford the direct initial costs. Then send the receipt to the rspca and ombudsman and get them accountable for adopting a dog unfit to be adopted out yet. A J My animals always take priority. Please don't assume otherwise and of course on Wednesday I intend to see to that. Se B WEDNESDAY OMG L C Your dog, your responsibility M M Typical rspca, after prospective cases. See if a local newspaper would take on the story, im sure theyll forget your adress! J G I have been given word that this dog has been taken from this guy by rspca... is there any truth to this pls... ???.. Anyone! T W Absolutely shameful of rspca A S Omg typical rspca bullying bullshit if this is true not concerned about helping dog as per usual won't spend a penny of their mllions helping animals anyway whatdo you expect selling for 29.00 per animal sickens me all those poor animals bastards R S A S its 100% legit.

Well the rspca $29 bargain sale has had some fallout, not the kind of person to cope too well either, he couldnt take it to the vet before wednesday as he didnt have the money until then, hence him asking the rspca. as we all know a breeder would have been held responsible for selling a dog with such a problem under the 2 week warranty,

I do detest the practice that is so common, automatically assume, the owner or the breeder is at fault. decades ago one of Nancy Gates girls, Gates Winifred, had to our utter astonishment ten chihuahua puppies. The first was stillborn but the other nine and their mum were cared for by me as Nancy had a heart attack some months previously and was still very unwell. I noticed early that the little black and tan girl would not come out of the nest and play outside with her siblings. She would stand inside on the bedding and bark at them to come back and play with her. when I picked her up and put her outside with her siblings she would run back to bed shaking and didnt relax for quite some time... I am talking two almost three week old puppy. At first I thought let her make the first moves but another week passed and she was if anything more fearful. I spent hours with her daily to bring her out of the shell none of her siblings exhibited... even by 12 weeks she was "different", wary of anything new, wary of visitors. She finally matured into a great little dog but she was always wary. Nancy was well aware she was different to her siblings in temperament and kept her as a pet. She decided to breed a litter from her because she sure was a stunner and to our delight none of her puppies where wary or shy in any way. Only she knew why she was different but she was that was from her first learning to walk... and remember there were 8 others who were outrageously outgoing. I kept her blue and tan sister Bluey and she would race to any visitor for hugs and cuddles. I really wish you well with your girl, and they help both you and her.

the vet has signed it, I expect you will have no trouble now. it sure is weird though the chipper didn't fill it out and sign it when the puppy was chipped? But at least it WAS chipped and I so hope vaccinated..... you would not believe how many phone me to get their much loved new puppy chipped and when I ask for the vaccination card, it hasn't even been vaccinated???????? Now with out the vaccination card I refuse to chip and tell them to take it immediately to their vet for both chipping and vaccination.... at least they are the small percentage who do want to have their puppy chipped and traceable if they lose it. But figure if I chip and no vaccination they might not get it vaccinated. so far so good ... two were lucky, their pups already had parvo. I tell them to report the seller immediately as to neither chip or vaccinate is against the law. so far in 30 years I have never been able to prise out of them the name of the seller or contact details.... they "dont want to get them in trouble". sheeeesh! until recently I thought only idiots did this... well got a phone call from my own? granddaughter who surely should know better... nanna, would you please chip my new puppy? n nope it wasnt vaccinated either.....UGGGH! where did I fail, how did I fail to get it through to her?
