NEW DOGS 2011

DOG POUNDS

FACT

If dogs are not claimed in 7 days

and cannot

get rescue space

they will be PUT TO SLEEP

I have seen behind closed doors, I have cried over so many dogs,

I have seen so many dogs PTS

So many dogs in the pounds - so many unclaimed - if ONLY they were chipped -

they may have had a chance to be reunited with the owners...

We are a small charity but the work we do is just as important to the unwanted dogs of today.

Our funds are short, we need urgent support, most of the dogs

all need medical attention, how about donating some much needed funds to help us

support and take care of these unwanted strays please....these will not be the last....it is never ending

....PLEASE REMEMBER ........if you have a dog get it chipped....if you move change the details

to your new home....change your phone numbers get it logged....try to safe guard your dog....it only has you to do this....the dog pounds

are full and when the 7 days are up if they dont find rescue spaces -

THEY WILL BE DESTROYED....and that could be your pet you have loved and will never see again...get it Chipped....

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Rescue dogs aren't broken.

They've simply experienced more life than other dogs.

If they were human, we would call them wise.

They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write.

They are the ones who have been dealt a bad hand but who have responded with courage.

Do not pity a rescue dog.

Adopt one.

And be proud to have their greatness by your side.

NEW DOGS NEEDING WONDERFUL HAPPY FOREVER HOMES

 

 

oooOOOooo

 

BERNIE

 

 

Bernard is a 16 month old Border Collie, fun and lovely natured but over boisterous with the family's small dogs .

He would be better on his own or with a dog his own size. He is however really lovely with other dogs, just very playful.

He is good with cats and has lived with them and children without any problems whatsoever.

Bernard loves his walks but due to work commitments and health problems the owners can not give him the time he needs.

 

MAX

Max is 11mths old, castrated, chipped and vaccinated. He is a very friendly boy and loves other dogs, people, children etc etc. We have been told he chases cats, and having seen him take off after a squirrel I can believe it!

He has basic training with good recall but he does need some work on the lead. he doesnt have a nasty bone in his body and life is all about bouncing and fun!

With some finishing work he will be a super little dog.

 

 

ALFIE

 

Alfie, 7 months, fantastic temperament, just wants to please, make a super family pet just cannot fault him....a pleasure to have around.

 

 

 

SASHA

This is Sasha our Romanian dog we saved.....he is fun, super nature, kind, loveable, cheeky, great with kids and other dogs.

Very clean indoors and loves his cuddles...he is fully vaccinated, chipped - passport - castrated and now ready for his forever home.

Read his story on the Romanian Link.....Can You give Sasha the love he now deserves......

 

 

DINGO

 

Whippet came from Ireland - he is 4 years old, wonderful nature, great with other dogs, kids, cats and furry's.

Vaccinated, chipped, castrated and ready for a new loving home. Dingo is just such a lovely loyal dog to have

around, he total adores his cuddles and is so full of love to everyone...UPDATE Having had Dingo now with us

for some time we have reason to believe that he may have PRA, his eye sight is not as good as it should be which

is very sad....but saying that he free runs and has a wonderful time out with the other dogs.....

 

 

 

 

BECKY

 

RESERVED

 

Dear Becky she was so worried when she came in but she has settled a bit more now and we find her a really sweet natured dog, she is around 2/3 years old.

Wonderful nature, very busy and just wants to please. Great with other dogs and children. Spayed, vaccin and chipped.

 

 

 

DINO

 

HOMED

 

 

Dino is the Wow factor, lovely sable and white boy, with a fabulous nature...great with people, children and others dogs.

He is around 5/6 months old.

 

 

 

TROUBLE

 

 

RESERVED

 

Whippet x Terrier type, only 4 months old - found himself unwanted and left in pound, he had a long trip over the water to us from Ireland

and is now having the love and care he so does need. Update 19th Dec.. he is doing really, responding to good food, love and cuddles.

He is a cheeky pup and is just so loving....Im not really sure what he is at the moment - but he is all legs....he follows me around like my little

shadow....his tummy is now much better and he is on 4 nice meals a day...update 3rd jan....he is wonderful, a fun little dog with a big

character - he is in tip top condition now and loves everyone and anything.

 

 

 

 

SPOT

 

HOMED

 

This is dear Spot, an appeal went out for him to find rescue space - so we agreed and Jenny and Ian our friends have fostered him....

We have an update on his history from the dog warden.

He was collected from a vets near to the one who neutered him.

He was microchipped and the dog warden got in touch with his original owners who have said that they don't want him back.

We are told that apparently Spot's home was not very nice and that he may have been quite harshly disciplined.

He is a lovely little boy who wants to find his forever home where he can be loved and show lots of love to his new owners.

He has only been in the foster home a few days but he is one of the most loyal dogs they say that they have ever known.

Spot is around 2 years old. with a fabulous nature - so would suit a loving caring forever pet home. Spot was an only dog but

he now enjoys other dogs company so much and has made lots of doggie friends.

Update...3rd ~Jan...Spot at the moment has tummy troubles and until we find out what is wrong - we are delaying the progress of

homing him....

 

2 SUPERB DOGS NEEDING HOMES DUE TO

PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

The beautiful Black and White boy is now reserved.

 

We have been asked to help find superb homes for the above 2 collies...it is with such heavy heart the owner has to home them due to personal circumstances....

They are now back with their breeder who will look after them until a suitable home can be found.

The small merle girl, very bidable, settles well crated, and likes to play. She is 9 years old, but you would not believe it.

She loves to be cuddled, and has settled in with the breeders dogs without problems.

She has a nice nature and is fine with other dogs.

This little girl, is vaccinated, chipped and spayed - she is very obedient and has a great recall..........she does have a couple of little "quirky" things but nothing serious.

***********************************

 

RESERVED

The Black and White boy is nearly 6 years old.

. He is toy motivated and seems again very friendly with both people and other dogs.

This dog is an agility dog and he has won out of grade 3, but I don't think the owner had done much with him at all last season.

He is fit, and active and would make someone a ready made agility prospect.

This lovely lad is vaccinated, chipped and castrasted - he is also very obedient and loves his toys.

All enquiries will be forwarded over to the breeder and she will make her decision as to the home which will suit them best.

Homes check's will take place and references will also be required.

 

WEI BILLY

 

Homed

 

This is Wei Wei - he is a 14 week old Whippet/Lurcher type pup, found as a stray in an appalling condition. This little pup had to stay in holding kennels for the legal 7 days - but sadly no one claimed him, his

condition in the kennels deteriorated and the dog warden contacted Valgrays to see if we had space as we have in the past helped other strays....of course we said yes immediately....unfortunately for many strays

after 7 days if they do not get claimed or rescue space is not found these poor dogs do get put to sleep....that is fact.......anyway

unknown to us we had no idea that he was in such a bad state - but the morning he arrived our heart sunk - this little bundle of bones arrived with us on Tuesday

23rd August in a terrible state, he was emaciated, dehydrated, weak and had no will to live, he was also very cold, he was put under a heat lamp and had a nice fleece coat put on, we knew that this pup needed

urgent medical attention, we phoned our vet immediately and told him we needed to bring down a very sick puppy, we arrived at the vets with Wei Wei, when we arrived the vet

was horrified at his condition - weighed in at 7kgs (just bones) running alive with fleas, and he was put onto a drip where he stayed for the some hours.....

Urgent funding for dogs like Wei Wei is so important to get them back to health, veterinary care is very expensive so if you feel

you would like to help and support Wei Wei - Valgrays would be so grateful.

Updates will follow with his progress and we are keeping our fingers crossed that he makes a good recovery...for the time being he is having the best care possible and he even had a cuddly teddy sent him in the post today,

so thank you to the person who sent this - this poor little pup needs our help, he did not ask to be born - he did not ask to be dumped

How could we deprive this poor young dog a chance of life.... he's just a baby and has the rest of his life ahead of him, he could be dead by now.... along with many other helpless dogs......

Wei Wei . deserves every chance of a long/happy life with a caring family...we need to get him better his future is in our hands.

Thank you

 

Update on Wei Wei: He is doing very well and has gained weight - 12kgs - he is still a little nervy but he has made a wonderful recovery. I would like to thank you all so much for your kind

donations and gifts that you all have sent and your lovely messages. I have recently had a 2 week break and Wei Wei went to my friends for a holiday and yes they fell in love with him and have

asked to adopt him......so Wei Wei who is now named Billy has got his forever home......

 

ooooooOOOOoooooo
