Catch Up Time.....

First off thank you to everyone who gave up time to fund raise for us over the weekend. All your efforts are greatly appreciated by us and the dogs. Likewise to everyone who supported us by buying tombola tickets, coffee's etc.

The last 7 days or so has been a really tough time for several reasons. Dogs have died that we were unable to save, dogs have arrived so stressed that it brings a tear to your eye, and of course we had little Star seriously ill at the vets.

I'm pleased to say Star is due home this afternoon, but hit has been very touch and go whether she would survive the horrendous infection she has obviously picked up whilst wondering the streets. Our first fears were not confirmed, as Parvo tests came back negative, she has however had a very serious infection, so bad she did not eat for 8 days, so has understandably lost a lot of weight. Thanks to Moorview for everything they have done for her.

Bear is beginning to settle, although she has been extremely stressed. None of our dogs deserve what they have had to endure because of humans, but I find it so hard to believe that a beautiful big girl like her was simply kicked out because she was unwanted. Another pointer at the atrocious society we are all part of. You just need to look into her eyes to see why I despise the majority of the human race.

Another new girl is Tilly the Lurcher. I picked her up as a stray, and was unclaimed, so she is now officially a SHAK dog. She is beautiful, and has made friends already. Tilly and Isaac are good pals, and play in the run together as well as sharing a kennel during the day. Pictures to follow.

The threat of legal action against another rescue means I cannot really comment on a very sad story that has probably come to the saddest ending of all today. Another soul abused by mankind and has ultimately paid the biggest price..... by losing her life.
