Monthly Update
NOVEMBER 2008
(compiled 08-12-08)
In November we took in 15 labradors to be
rehomed with several more waiting to come in. We
were able to find homes for nine of them and
they have all settled well.
The remaining six are still in kennels waiting
for new homes. Normally we leave the dogs in
their homes until we can find new homes for them
but these were emergencies and we had to take
them in.
We do not have kennels so have to rely on using
commercial kennels, the cost of doing this hits
us very hard financially.
It always seems that no sooner we rehome a dog
than two more need to come in, some needing to
come in urgently and we are now are back in the
position where we have ten dogs in kennels with
more on our books waiting to be rehomed. Average
kennel costs are £10 per day so there is a limit
to the number of dogs we can keep in kennels. We
have at the moment more than reached that limit,
but these dogs needed our help.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
those of you who have sent donations with your
Christmas cards. This money will be put to good
use and will help give the dogs in kennels at
Christmas a treat.

Dogs Needing A Home last updated 5th Dec.
2008
|
|
HAVE YOU GOT A HOME |
|
FOR JACK?
 |
OR MAC?
 |
Jack is a five year old black dog. We do not have much
history on Jack but know that he is good with older children. He is not very
good with other dogs but we understand this is because he has not met many
dogs.
He is being exercised and introduced to the outside world by
our Chairman and his wife. Jack has lost all his excess
weight and is now full of energy. He is inquisitive and very
interested in all that goes on around him. He has a lovely
temperament and is a very friendly dog. Jack has been with
us since August and we would love to find him a home soon.
If you decide you would like to offer him a home please
contact us. We will help in every way to settle him into his
new home and provide a back-up service to ensure everything
goes smoothly.

Mac has been with us since the beginning of May. He is a six
year old yellow dog. When we took him in he was grossly
overweight and had a bad ear infection. He is now at an
ideal weight . Our vet has attended to Mac's ears and this
problem is now cured. We also had him castrated while he has
been in our care. Mac is quite a strong dog, great
temperament. He gets on fine with the dogs around him but
can be a bit boisterous towards new dogs that he meets. He
has cost us in the region of £2000---kennelling and
veterinary fees and is now ready for a loving home. Again we
will be on hand to help him settle into his new home.
