saving DAWGdogs since 1987
Message from Jane Ferguson :
Laura Ferguson, Samantha Fry, Ollie SFC Wareham and myself are running the New Forest Half Marathon
on Sunday, 13th September, 2015 in aid of DAWGdogs , which is very close to my heart.
Any sponsors, no matter how small, would be very much appreciated.
All donations will help rescue dogs receive the care they need whilst finding them loving forever homes.
Hi there,
I thought you might be interested in this video my local council has placed on Youtube.
It’s really funny but also has an important message about animal safety that I thought you might like to share.
When our local paper placed it on their Facebook page they said, “This is possibly the best thing Hornsby Council has ever done.”
Sincerely,
Margaret
The errant Jack has returned home.
His people deserve a medal for putting up with his escapades for all these years!
–
This is Jack who has been missing since the weekend.
Jack was adopted many years ago and has always been an escape artist but usually comes home.
This time he has not and everyone is very worried about him as he is an old boy now.

Poison warning as dog falls ill after walk in New Forest

DOG lover Philip Wilkinson has urged pet owners to be on their guard after his retriever became ill after a walk in the New Forest.
Nine-year-old Buster suffered severe sickness and a swollen stomach after a walk at South Oakley near Burley.
The black, flat-coated retriever was rushed to the PDSA hospital the following day and spent two nights on antibiotics and a drip before being allowed home.
“He is normally a very healthy dog so I think he must have eaten something poisonous,” said Philip, of Curzon Road, Bournemouth. “I don’t know if anyone had left anything deliberately or whether there are plants or fungi that are poisonous to dogs – I just wanted to warn people to keep an eye on their pets.”
Buster was unable to eat for several days but is now on the mend.
Veterinary charity the PDSA warns increasing numbers of pets are being treated for accidental poisoning.
Spokesman Alexander Campbell said: “Sadly many of those things can prove fatal. It is vitally important that owners keep any substances that can harm pets well out of reach and react quickly and responsibly if they suspect poisoning might have occurred.”

We tried this once before but had to discontinue it as it put too much load on the server and slowed the website down,
hopefully that has now been fixed!
