Billy and Basil have now been re-homed !!


Billy & Basil are border terriers just over 4 years old
They have come from a good home but unfortunately now need to find a new one.
They are KC registered, micro chipped and up to date with worming and vaccinations.
They wouldn’t be ok with cats as they always chase them
but have never caught one-thankfully-and they would probably be best
without other dogs as they can get over excited around them.
They are used to children aged 4 – 8
I only barked at one other dog today,
and Helen took my lead and then told me to “Shut Up!”
and I didn’t bite her!
See how much I’ve improved!!
So then I sat down and Looked Really Good

The front is a No Dog Zone, it is for Proper People Only but it is an essential part of my training.
On the way to the walk I put my muddy front paws on the dashboard like I’ve seen the man do on the advert on the telly.
But on the way back I’m very good and sit like I’m a Proper Person on the front seat.
Maybe they think I am a Proper Person now!

Recently I’ve been improving so much that I’m now allowed to be in the back of the car without having to go in a sky cage.
I can always usually often sometimes occasionally be trusted not to try and bite the car to bits when I see another dog out of the window, or Something Else To Bark At.
Being free I can try and round up all the other dogs in the back.
Rounding Things Up is one of My Favorite Things To Do.
If I get too excited rounding everyone up then being in the back of the car also means I can run right to the very back whenever the Shakey Bottle appears.
This means that Mutley is between the Shakey Bottle and me, which is a Very Good Thing. It also means that I can see out of the back window.
There are always Lots of Things To Bark At out of the back window, but I try and remember not to bark too much as it only upsets the Shakey Bottle.
Helen is used to looking in her mirror and seeing the drivers behind laughing at me, particularly if we are in a traffic jam. I don’t know why they laugh.
Sometimes they almost crash because they are watching me. I’m sure they would not even stop laughing if they crashed.
This last week we’ve been going on adventures to play with Takoda. Takoda is not staying at the Rescue because he’s Just Too Big and has Too Much Energy All The Time. So we go over to take him out for walks during the day. This week it has been so hot that we’ve been spending lots of time jumping in and out of Pools and Ponds to cool off.
I love Pools and Ponds, they always provide lots of opportunities to get messy and discover Smelly Things.
I’d like to be a Smelly Thing, but I’m in enough trouble with Helen as it is.
So I try and encourage all the other dogs to get covered in Smelly Things, and then Round Them Up instead!

UPDATE ON FLASH – FORMERLY KNOWN AS BRASH!!
Flash has been with us for three weeks now and has really become part
of the family.
He has settled in very well and learning new things each day.
He has started going to obedience classes and has now got the hang of sit and stay!!!
although a bit of bribery with a biscuit is sometimes needed!!!
Flash and my son Kris have become great pals and has taken him to the
beach, walks on St Catherines Hill and Lulworth Cove –
Flash enjoys going anywhere new and meeting other dogs –
he is loving and friendly a real joy.
Thank you
Alison

Subject: DOLLY FOUND EMACIATED STARVING AND IN NEED OF VET CARE NEEDS YOUR HELP
Please cross post everywhere
WE NEED A MIRACLE
DOLLY NEEDS VET CARE AND A SAFE PLACE TO BE. SHE HAS BEEN STARVED AND IT IS EVIDENT SHE HAS ALREADY HAD PUPPIES AND SHE IS ONLY A BABY HERSELF.
DOLLY WOULD NOT SUIT KENNELS SHE NEEDS SOMEONE WITH BULLBREED EXPERIENCE – A NO EUTHANISE POLICY.
Dolly was found emaciated and starving in Hackney north London on the 8th of July 08.
She has been starved and severely abused by her previous owners.
David took Dolly to his office and gave food and water. He has contacted some rescue organisations. THEY WILL NOT HELP ONLY OFFER PUT TO SLEEP – NOT FAIR WHEN A LIFE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN LIVED AT ALL.
DOLLY IS CONSIDERED TO BE:
1) Too expensive to treat
2) Too hard to re-home
David has claimed responsibility for her and set about getting her better and re-homing her in a suitable place.
Dolly Has Seen a Vet – but seeks financial help or a rescue group that will help.
Dolly weighed only 14kg, she should be around 23-27kg. She is around 18 months old. Dolly is given 3 injections and anti-biotic tablets to be given twice a day along with a special diet to build her weight back up slowly.
David has now made himself homeless to care for Dolly because he already has a dog, baby and girlfriend at home, and Dolly simply does not get on with my own dog Lulu. HE IS SLEEPING ON HIS FRIENDS FLOOR TO CARE FOR HER.
Dolly has a huge open wound on her leg and needs urgent surgery to her leg and, ear and head, this is due to take place next week. The vet has estimated it will cost between £350-£700, which is a big leap!
David has chipped Dolly already.
Dolly can be re-homed and is already toilet trained, walks well on the lead and is learning to sit stay etc. She is not hyperactive when with people, and is easy to have around. It’s just when she gets left alone or is with other dogs that she is a pain in the ass.
It’s funny that it was man who has hurt her and caused her physical and psychological pain and yet it is our attention she still craves…. would we be as forgiving as people?
If you want to help Dolly, you can do so very easily:
1) Send love and support.
2) Invite as many people as you can to the Facebook group ‘Save Dolly’ where you will also find regular updates
3) Send money, (make cheques payable to the Victoria Park Village Fundraisers and send to 487 Roman Road, London, E3 5LX). Online payments can be made via Paypal – please email or see Dolly’s Facebook page for more info. All proceeds will go directly to Dolly’s bills and care and any excess will be left with the Victoria Park Village Fundraisers, whom collect money to give help and care to terminally ill children.
4) Offer Dolly a new home – there are strict criteria and we are very lucky to now have the help of a wonderful bull breed specialist who will be conducting all home checks.
5) Offer any suggestions for how we can raise more money to foot her bills – at present Vet Bills alone will be more than 1,000 pounds, let alone her food etc whilst we find her new home.
