Branksome Pets at Home are raising funds for the DAWGdogs!
Due to Covid restrictions we won’t be able to be in store with the dogs to help as we usually are.
Please do donate if you go into the store as every penny helps us to continue to rescue animals and to pay for veterinary bills, food and the running costs of the Rescue.
Colin and his team at Branksome store are working hard on our behalf to raise as much as they can for the Rescue.
Thank you for your support!
The following is an account of what happened to a DAWGdog owner this morning:
“I was walking * towards the rugby field on Hardy crescent and a silver 4×4 bibed it’s horn and I turned to see if I knew who it was, I didn’t so I carried on walking across the field. When I got to the other side of the road the car was there, they wound down the window so I asked if they needed any help, the guy just started asking loads of questions about * and I started to get a bit worried, then he asked me if I wanted to sell “the dog”. I shouted no and started to walk away and they started to reverse the car towards me, so I ran.
There was a man in his 50s with balding head, white fair skinned and a heavy stature, the woman of similar age had dark hair but she was wearing a dark face mask.
The car was like a hilux with a solid shell on the back, silver in colour with 2 names on the back passenger side. Either jonny and jody or Charlie and jody.
I reported to the police when I got back home.”
