(and maybe help others out) They don't have to be of dogs, but they do have to be fit for public viewing - if you get what I mean. 144 1598 25/01/2010 22:01:10 by: cazmar  Admin, aliandwills, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Rainbow Bridge A place to remember your four legged friends 56 766 25/01/2010 19:26:17 by: liz  Admin, aliandwills, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Training And Behaviour Are the four legged ones talking over the house?

We foster animals till we find them new homes, which can take anything from days, to weeks or sometime even years. We all do this on a voluntary basis in our spare time. We run totally on kind donations which go straight to our ongoing Vets and food bills, every penny is spent on the animals for food and veterinary treatment. All animals are fostered in our own homes which is hard at times, but very rewarding when we find a new home for each animal. We are always looking for people who are willing to foster animals for us till permanent homes can be found. We mainly foster cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, chickens, goats, ponys, and birds. Occasionly dogs too, if we have the foster space we need. We also have help from a lovely lady known as the dog listener. She is always there to help with any problems. We also have great local vets who are always willing to give us any advice needed. We are a small group but if we can´t help we pass on telephone numbers of other rescues and organisations that may be able too. We are of the opinion that all animal groups should help each other if possible .

We have a NO DESTRUCTION POLICY and never put a healthy dog to sleep. All dogs prior to rehoming are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and de-flead. All rescue dogs are assessed and rehomed to match each individual family. Many people think boxers in rescue have behavioural problems, but this is not always the case, most dogs that come to us are given up through no fault of their own, some of them have been abused, or no longer needed now that they are too old to breed from, some have came from loving family homes but unfortunately have to be given up because of a change in circumstances.

The following year in June 2002 her daughter, Trudie James, decided to honor her life and dedication to animals by establishing The Doris Banham Sanctuary. The charity was set up to help all animals, but as we became increasingly aware of the heart breaking needless destruction of unclaimed dogs in dog pounds, we vowed to help them and the charity has developed to provide an essential life saving rescue service for these forgotten dogs. We are a non-profit organisation and rely totally on fundraising and donations to save these animals.

In addition the track is just a mile from the border with Cumbria and it attracts clients from much further afield. And where there is greyhound racing there are retired or abandoned dogs. In December 2001 some concerned owners of retired greyhounds and friends decided that something needed to be done to improve the lot of ex-racing and ex-coursing dogs. Dumfriesshire Greyhound Rescue came into existence. Although we are based in Scotland, our constitution covers ‘Dumfriesshire and surrounding areas’. ‘Surrounding areas’ is mainly Cumbria, though depending upon circumstances has been further away. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   EASTERLEIGH ANIMAL SACTUARY Our aim is to rescue and and re-home unwanted, neglected and stray animals. We take in any kind of animal that is in need, from hamsters to horses. At present we are caring for over a hundred animals, and there are many more waiting to come to us. Easterleigh is a registered charity that operates in the Fylde Coast area of Lancashire.

Our shelter has been helping animals in distress for over 25 years. There have been many difficult times to face over those years and there may be many more to come as life is never easy in an animal sanctuary but the one thing that remains constant is the steady stream of animals which arrive here in need of kindness and care. Some are badly traumatised by their experiences, others are merely bewildered but here at Freshfields they are guaranteed a chance for a better life. Thousands have been given that chance since the sanctuary started and our hopes and plans for the future will ensure that not only will this continue but our facilities will improve so that we can continue to do justice to the animals placed in our care. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Green Acres Animal Rescue Green Acres is a small non profit making rescue in the beautiful Pembrokeshre countryside. We will help any animal that is in need & operate a no kill policy. Every animal deserves a second chance, we are here to give them just that. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Greyhound Rescue North East Greyhound Rescue North East is a very small UK voluntary organisation dedicated to the work of re-homing retired Greyhounds, Whippets and the odd Lurcher. Most of our dogs have been rescued by Steven Duncan and kept in his private kennels until the right home comes along. As we are based in the North East, preference will be given to people living in this area and parts of North Yorkshire. As with most Greyhounds, ours have retired from the racing industry. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Greyhounds Galore Our aim is to rescue as many greyhounds and lurchers as we possibly can. They make absolutely wonderful pets. They are loyal, gentle, loving couch potatoes. We are a non-profit organisation that relies solely on public donations and the support of our volunteers. We don't have our own kennels so we rely heavily on foster families and private boarding kennels to house our dogs until they find their forever homes. We organise a number of events throughout the year and have regular meet and greets, which are great social events. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Grinshill Animal Rescue We are a small, family run rescue centre situated in the picturesque village of Grinshill - 8 miles north of Shrewsbury (off the A49 Whitchurch road). Our house and kennels nestle into the base of Grinshill hill and we are surrounded by woods and fields - haven for cats and dogs alike. We started rescuing dogs approximately 9 years ago, taking in battered and abused animals and generally helping people when they could no longer look after their animals for one reason or another. As the years progressed, the work has increased. We built more kennels and in October 1996 we built a cattery. No matter how much space is made with new kennels and cattery, there is never enough room - we always have waiting lists for dogs & cats to be re-homed. We have a Non-Destruction Policy unless absolutely necessary, due to the animal's condition. Our aim is to rehabilitate and re-home all animals to suitable, caring homes. All homes are checked before and after re-homing. The dogs are vaccinated and neutered, and cats neutered. As we are only a small sanctuary our animals all have individual love and attention. We are limited to what we can do by the strength of our resources, both financial and human. We are short in both areas and are appealing for help. We need more people to help raise funds and carry out other voluntary tasks, such as 'dog walking', if you can spare a little of your time then your help would be most welcome. Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Halfway Home Dog Rescue Halfway Home was started in April 2005 in support of another dog rescue, to hold dogs coming from "death row" situations in northern pounds. Then in December 2005 we started homing dogs for another rescue with a lot of success. They decided that they no longer needed our help, so we decided to go it alone in May 2006, and now carry out dog rehoming directly from our own kennels in Collingham, Notts. We are only a very small rescue, dedicated to helping stray and unwanted dogs find a new home. All our costs are met by donations and fundraising activities such as car boot sales, etc. Admin, aliandwills, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Labrador Lifeline Trust We are the Labrador Lifeline Trust a registered charity that rescue, rehomes, rehabilitates where necessary, Labrador Retrievers irrespective of age, infirmity or in need of training. We run a system whereby we match dogs to homes and homes to dogs and in the majority of cases know the full history of the dog. We cannot afford to import dogs from elsewhere as we are kept extremely busy with dogs in our own area, especially at the moment with the financial situation. We currently have over 50 dogs on our list, some still in their own homes and others in foster or kennels. We are always in need of people to join us as a volunteer to vet homes, move dogs. No one is paid in this Organisation and every penny that comes in is spent in the maintenance of our dogs.

Labrador Rescue have the backing of various professionals e.g. qualified dog trainers, behaviourists and other agencies to advise and guide us in our work. We promote vaccination, worming, spaying, castration and micro-chipping. Please contact your local veterinary surgeon as some people are eligible for financial help. We also encourage owners to take their dogs to training classes, which are informative as well as being great fun for both dog and owner.

Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Labrador Welfare We rescue and re-home Labrador Retrievers who, through no fault of their own, need new homes. When a dog is handed over to us for adoption it is taken in to Boarding Kennels run by 2 of our Trustees. This is to make life easier for those handing dogs over to us, and also the potential adopters who can meet the dog chosen for them without any pressure. We are also able to assess the dogs whilst they are in kennels, thus helping us to match dogs with their new owners. We only invite people to meet the dog they have been matched up with. Please note visits to the kennels are by appointment only! When matching dogs to new owners we take into consideration the dog’s previous experience: used to children, cats, other animals etc. and match it as closely as possible with it’s new owner.

Admin, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, smiley.cheesecake, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Limerick Animal Welfare Limerick Animal Welfare is a registered charity, founded in 1983, dedicated to caring for abandoned and neglected animals in the Limerick area. Over the last five years we have saved more than 2000 animals. We aim to promote the humane treatment of all animals, working towards a more compassionate Society. We believe in educating young people about responsible pet ownership. We regularly give talks to primary and secondary schools. In this way we hope to educate and inform the animal owners of tomorrow and encourage them to make kindness and respect for all animals a way of life. We aim never to destroy an animal unless it is so ill that we cannot alleviate its suffering. It is our policy to spay/neuter all dogs and cats before rehoming. At any one time we care for approximately 60 dogs and 30 cats. Phase One of our Sanctuary at Moorestown, Kilfinane, was finally completed in December 2007. Our first isolation kennel for dogs opened its doors to the abandoned animals just before Christmas. We are most grateful to all the generous animal lovers who donated funds for this wonderful building. The Sanctuary now provides shelter for 35 dogs, 15 cats, two goats, two pot-bellied black pigs, and two rabbits. The next arrivals will be a donkey and a pony. We continue to kennel our greyhounds and lurchers at Saffron Hill, Doneraile, and we also have mixed breed dogs awaiting homes at Caherconlish. We also continue to house cats at Newport until our new cattery is ready. We now face the huge task of starting Phase Two of the Sanctuary Building Project, which is the main building. This is estimated to cost in the region of one million euro and will incorporate a rehoming area for dogs and another for cats. The plans also include offices, a veterinary clinic and living accommodation for staff. Phase Three, the final building, will be the isolation kennel for cats and kittens. We feel confident that with your support, our "Field of Dreams" will become a reality for all the homeless animals of Limerick city and county.

The leading members of the group included Mr. Megson a printer and stationer, (who’s firm is still very active) and Mr. Alfred Nixon a leading Chartered Accountant in Manchester, it was his son and partners who continued to play a leading part in the administration of the Home until shortly after the last war in 1949.

We rescue and rehome older dogs via a network of foster homes. The dogs we help are aged 7 plus and most are ten years or older. Some have been neglected, or their owners were unable to care for them properly due to their own ill health. Due to this, our vet bills are rather high and any financial help is much appreciated. We need good homes to adopt our dogs and volunteers to foster, homecheck, transport, fundraise, attend events, make dog coats and put up posters. We also work with other UK rescues to publicise the plight of their older dogs and help them find loving new homes too. Please visit Oldies Club if you would like to offer an older dog a new home or would like to volunteer.

Admin, aliandwills, cazmar, colliewoman, Gina, Melita13, Tigger, WOODY4MAISIE   Rain Rescue Rain Rescue was started in 2003 by a few people who had witnessed the plight of abandoned dogs – left lost, helpless and unwanted or ‘surplus to requirements’ in stray kennels. They saw that many of these dogs , whose fate was at the mercy of which council they had been lost or abandoned in – was dependant on the post code they had been picked up in. Dogs lost or abandoned in some places, where there wasn’t a huge over-population of dogs – odds are would be re-united with their owners – or be re homed to a new home. For those unfortunate dogs that had been either born into, lost and wandered into or sadly thrown out onto the streets of a city where there was already a large volume of abandoned dogs – for these dogs – their fate was more uncertain.

The pound that we work with are one of the few pounds that are willing to work closely with us as a rescue. They too work hard to save these dogs from being put to sleep by providing Rochdale Dog Rescue with photographs, information about the dogs and constant updates.

Our dogs come from situations of abuse or neglect and are unlikely to be re-homed in the normal way. The greyhounds have normally lived their entire lives in kennels - initially as racing dogs and then kept in bleak conditions out of sight of the general public and with no chance of a home. They have rarely received any veterinary care or pain relief. Some have been fed poor quality food and had infrequent access to clean fresh water. They have sometimes been housed, without coats or proper bedding, in kennels that provide limited protectionfrom the weather. They commonly suffer from crippling diseases, untreated infections or old injuries.

All the animals that come into our care are treated for fleas, ticks, mites and worms, they also have a full veterinary 'm.o.t', and are neutered and inoculated before going to their new homes. We do not use kennels, instead we have foster homes, which enable us to see the animals behaviour in a home environment, then any problems can be dealt with and we can re-home them to the most appropriate place.

With nowhere to put him, and with him being dog-aggressive with my dog, I found him somewhere to stay and with help from other rescuers, was able to find him a home. With my job being an Animal Welfare Officer lots of dogs were coming my way including abandoned puppies and RSPCA cases. Somehow I took them home and found places that would take them on and rehome them. Something was still missing in what I was doing, and it was the rehoming part, the rescue bit was natural, but I wanted to see where the animals were going and I wanted to stay in touch. This is when The Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation Society was born.
