Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I know you can all find me on here & to make my life more complicated in between working full time I have just started up my own rescue. I have taken the dogs off another crap rescue doing little to home them & leaving me to do all the work. So feel free to have a look. www.d-a-s-h.co.uk I will be taking on more dogs, as soon as Ive homed a couple of the ones I have in. I will take in working dogs & can provide emergency boarding. The dogs are kept at a reputable boarding kennels that I have been going to for nearly two years as a volunteer helper. The small critters are kept at home with me. If you are looking for pets for the kids- let me know. We have transport volunteers to help move dogs & critters around the country, so distance not really a problem. I do neuter & microchip before homing. If anyone is running a site or wants an event advertised- let me know- Im more than happy to advertise it. The rescue is small because Im the one funding it- with the help of donations & fundraising- but got plenty of people on my side So let me know what you think & email any events using the button on the site or email dash01@btinternet.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST.Just one thing about rehomeing.My mates father has rehomed a bullcross off rotherham dog rescue he has health problems and [bANNED TEXT] i saw him out with her recently trying to catch her up the dog was running him ragged.[bANNED TEXT] i asked him about the dog he said she was brilliant in the house and he had only veiwed the dog in an enclosed enviorment.I have seen him recently and because of the dogs behavour it was confined to barracks [bANNED TEXT] he was out walking with his son and his dog.IMHO i think potential rehomers should also veiw the dog in an unenclosed enviorment.atb dell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 All my dogs are vet checked, vax'd, flea'd,wormed & neutered. They also come with 4 weeks Pet Plan Insurance. The ones I currently have I ve transported myself from the pound. I see & walk/work with them every weekend. During the week they are walked twice a day by the kennel staff. I work them on a lunge line or flexi lead- to improve recall. One thing I would say is that having rescue dogs myself, yes its a bind to work them on a flexi lead or lungeline but until you have a bond there its flaming hard work to get a dog back. Im not knocking the other rescue, dog or owner. But as the dogs most rescues have are out of a pound, they will be renamed, put into a different enviroment, most will act totally sane. Some will go mental especially off lead as they will not have had the same exercise they are used to. If the dog has health problems has your mates dad spoke to the rescue?? Do agree with you about the dogs been seen in different circumstances, though I would never recommend letting a new rescue dog off lead for at least two- three weeks. (use a cord washing line, flexi, training lead- anything that put's distance between you.) We also have a behaviourist on board. So although the rescue is new, hopefully by doing all I have I wont have too many problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 lol- thought he'd got a dog with health problems. That will teach me to read things properly. Angina's a bad one as well .Do hope they both ok but you've got some where else to find me now if you need to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest little lurcher Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 good luck with the venture!!! if i can be of any help norfolk way please let me know maybe at least you will check for chips and get some reunions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 We always check for chips- theres three other rescues board dogs at same places & check all the dogs. Wish I could convince more people to get them done, stop leaving dogs in cars & outside shops THEN I just may stop as many from getting nicked. Thanks for the over though- need as much help as we can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
