I couldnt have a welsh dog ...i wouldnt be able to understand what it was saying...i dont speak welsh

RR, Welsh as a language isn't as hard to learn as some I can think of. tIt's unlikely that very many dogs understand it, even so if you do get one, just say to it "nos da" and it'll curl up and go to sleep.

The really difficult thing is talking to talking to French cats - especially Parisien cats!

Any use with regards to clarifying the situation?

Hopefully it isn't too late but I honestly couldn't say

Re transport, when AR's get involved, this isn't usually a problem, they have a large network as you know and usually something can be sorted so distance isn't usually a problem.

MBll · « **Reply #28 on:** July 28, 2007, 01:34:49 AM »

I dont know if its to late for these dogs as it states friday,

obviouslythey want offers in the area as transport would be a problem?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #27 on:** July 28, 2007, 01:21:05 AM »

I've just had an email off the "South West Animal Protection" and they are looking into it for me, I will update when I hear back from them.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #26 on:** July 28, 2007, 00:23:54 AM »

If it was

I doubt very much Freshfields would be involved either, they have been put down as a contact number, as soon as our phone is working I will find out either way.

I have just spoken to Michelle at the dog pound on 07833653350 and she stated that the rumour that 25 dogs are being put to sleep is not only nasty but totally untrue.

She did say they had to put down two dogs down last week because of serious ill health, but they do not put down any healthy dogs.

So you can all stop worry now, because according to Michelle these dogs are in good hands until they find a new home.

The person that posted that on another forum has also posted this reply?

*Have you ever thought that this rumour was started by someone to just get a reaction from dog lovers to get these dogs rehomed sooner rather than later, irrespective of where they are going or with whom.*

So if its all untrue then how come this then .....

Right, I'm confused. Are these dogs being PTS or not?

I've not been able to get confirmation either way but I would say it was true as I've had a few emails about the same thing.

I have to say this is all very sad news....

We have a dog warden. She's a lovely woman. I know she's supposed to move dogs on after 7 days, but she just keeps them until she's found them a home. She's always round the town sticking posters up appealing for homes. And she's very successful.

But it's a small town and not too many cases for her to deal with.

Where is the Dogs Trust in all of this...???

They're the biggest dog rescue in the country and they've got a no PTS policy.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2007, 22:51:55 PM »

I know one of the pounds in this area, they keep for 7 days and then they are pts

The inspector wasn't there tonight so couldn't ask him about the Abergele Pound but have emailed a couple of peeps to get them to verify the info that's been forwarded on.

MBll · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2007, 18:29:45 PM »

Council run pounds dont work like rescues, dogs that are brought in as strays are given 7 days either the owner claims the dog back, or a rescue takes the dog after the 7 day period. Theres odd times when a dog/s are given a wee bit more time. Or the pound ( depends on the pound I suppose) rehomes from there?

Dogs that are surrended by the owner are given 24 hours either the onwer claims the dog back or rescues takes it or rehomed .

Either way dogs are PTS by the pounds where some rescues have a no kill policy & do the best to rehome them. The amount of pups/dogs ending up in pounds not all of them will be lucky to find a rescue space/rehomed.....theres more pups/dogs then responsible homes & rescues/pounds can only cope/struggle with so many of them.

I'm confused now by this about them not putting to sleep.......I will double check tonight. I'm pretty sure at one of our meetings, the inspector was saying the Abergele Pound keep dogs one week and then they are pts. Our local rescue also told me this as they have a no kill policy so it's chocca all the time.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2007, 17:32:20 PM »

It's a strange world where folks thinks this kind of rumour is okay. Whoever started it had better be watching for a liable action to come through their letterbox.

Isn't there enough madness and suffering in this world without the need to invent it?

I know Pet Rescue UK have emailed their members

I emailed Ros from the Rough Collie Rescue last night.

She has contacted Michelle at the Pound, apparently most of the collies were borders and went to the Border Collie Trust in Staffs yesterday.

Jayne at german shepherd rescue has phoned me back & someone already has sent the same email to her & she will try to do something but shes over run with dogs just now & no where to put them & now has a serious setback to the rescue financially that is effecting the dogs that the rescue has & any future dogs especially the at risk dogs, the rescue now as the added burden of seeking legal action

blackcat · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2007, 19:29:48 PM »

Will be in Cheshire this weekend with a hire car, a passenger, dog and a new cat but can probably squeeze one extra dog in the back if it is friendly and calm (have a dog restraint I can use) if someone down this way needs transport to get one here. It can stay in the back garden overnight if it is not housetrained.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2007, 19:20:13 PM »

All I've done is posted on here, not sure who's been contacted or whether it's been put on anywhere else. I know Mags was cross posting and so was Sam. I've just got back in from the vets and have to go out again shortly to sort some ferals out. If anyone can post elsewhere or make enquiries, I'd really appreciate it

JackSpratt · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2007, 19:03:52 PM »

Have you posted on Pet Rescue UK?

They have a "Pets in Danger" section.

Jasmine · « **Reply #5 on:** July 25, 2007, 17:22:46 PM »

Dawn, do you know if the Rough Collie Rescue in the Midlands has been approached to help?

Their website for contact details: www.roughcollierescue.org.uk

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #4 on:** July 25, 2007, 16:01:08 PM »

Thanks, I'm trying not to think about them too much as I really can't help

Just been onto our local rescue and they are chocca but are aware of the situation.

MBll · « **Reply #3 on:** July 25, 2007, 15:57:51 PM »

Have crossposted this & also left a message with janyne at german shepherd rescue

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #2 on:** July 25, 2007, 15:55:20 PM »

sorry I can't help but I have cross posted onto the hovel in case there is anyone on there who can.
