TIMELINE - FACTS
Bobi arrived into the UK on Saturday the 21st of December – he was cleared by Defra as fit to enter the UK. He went to a foster home who also runs a rescue for rabbits – Kim Beasley. The foster Mum also has a little disabled cat and said she was experienced with pet nappies and we thought everything was perfect and had all the help needed through his rehabilitation process. Michelle informed her prior to Bobi’s arrival that vet Chris Day in Oxford would be booked to make a house call to start Bobi’s rehabilitation after the Bank Holidays
Everything was fine up until 12 o'clock Christmas Eve afternoon, foster Mum was delighted with him and sent many updates and photo's.
Suddenly at 8.55 pm that same evening Christmas Eve we received a message from foster Mum saying Bobi had ruined her and her families Christmas because he was incontinent and smelt so bad, that they had to crate him and not let him in the room with the rest of the family.
We had only a few hours earlier received photo's from her of Bobi in his little nappies/diapers.
It was impossible to get little Bobi out at that time of night, especially as it was Christmas Eve.
Foster Mum then went into a vicious attack and to be quite honest we were stunned and amazed but even though she deleted and blocked Jayne on Facebook, Michelle managed to keep talking with her, we were given time to find him a new place.
Foster Mum Kim then deactivated her facebook account after posting untruths on her wall.
So Boxing day, yesterday Jayne telephoned her and said Bobi could come to her. I arranged transport for yesterday evening but sadly this transport was a known FB friend of Kim's and transport was stopped by Kim. Bobi as you know is one of our little disabled boys and did have a pressure sore on one of his hind legs, we seen him at Folkestone and even though the sore was there it was not open, infected or in need of emergency vet treatment. On Kim's 8.55 Christmas Eve message she decided to tell us he had a hole in his leg, yet at no time previously had she said his sore was deteriorating, or that he needed a vet. At no time did we refuse a vet.
Our foster contract sent by email to Kim allows for the fosterer to go for emergency vet care, with reimbursement in full. If she felt his leg needed urgent vet treatment, she should have taken him to her local vet, but she did not.
Today little Bobi came to Jayne and a few hours later Kim's total intentions became clear, even though Jayne had let her know he was well and safe with me she had phoned the RSPCA and they came and took him away.
They said they wanted him to see a vet not because he was from Bulgaria or because he was disabled but wanted to check his leg wound.
Off he went with a promise he would be brought back to Jayne later. Jayne was deeply upset yet sure in her mind that he would come back and all the nonsense would be at an end.
Yet the RSPCA vet he was taken to simply doesn't understand disabled dogs and has decided Bobi is better off dead and he will put to sleep at 12 noon Saturday 28th, today.
