RESCUE UPDATES


TIKA FINDS A NEW HOME

This is Tika, who is now known as Major, and has found a wonderful new home with his new ‘mom’ and his litter sister.

He has been neutered and soon starts social obedience classes. His sister has been attending classes for a while, so Major will have quite a bit of catching up to do.

When he first went to his new home he wouldn’t allow anyone to touch his collar, a big stiff leather one. We are not sure what had transpired for him to be like this, but he was given a new soft one, and with lots of patience on mom’s part, he is now fine.

At this time of year we ask you to renew your membership to the club, and if you ever think for one moment “Oh why should I bother?” then think of Major in his new loving home. This wouldn’t have been possible without your membership fees.

DUCHESS AND HER FRIEND BEN

George and Eileen update me regularly on “Dutch’s” progress, which I am very thankful for. The new puppy Ben is now 6 months old and they are the best of friends. Even at 10 years old, Dutch loves to go for her early morning walk, and she is also fond of driving around with George in his Land Rover, sitting importantly on the front seat! Another success story for our Rescue Scheme.

PUPPY MILLS IN THE USA

Did any of you see ‘Oprah’ on Monday 30 June? She did a whole programme on puppy mills in the USA, and what an eye opener it was. Most of the dogs are kept in cages just big enough for them to stand, and are stacked one on top of the other, so that any urine or faeces drops onto the dogs underneath. Most cannot walk on grass or a solid surface as they have spent their whole lives on wire. When the mothers have their babies, there is so little room that they walk on their pups. As in this country, it is not against the law. Oprah was encouraging everyone to either get your new dog from a shelter or a registered breeder, first seeing the mother and how she is kept. Never buy from a pet shop, as most of them obtain their dogs from these puppy mills.
