Urgent! S.o.s, s.o.s s.o.s , out all our amazing followers 😘😘 I'm asking please if everyone could donate maybe just £1 to this amazing charity, who we ourselves at to the rescue have visited personally a few times, (because they have taken in some strays, in very terrible states, from us when they were not chipped and when there was no other rescue spaces availble at the time locally ) this charity cared for them all and care for all their others impeccably! When some we took to them also very badly needed, and then recieved urgent medical and vet care through them, plus then of course the neutering costs they then faced too ! We at To the rescue, have seen first hand their amazing work 😍🥰 and now they just need and are asking for "little bit of help" for some kitten and poss adult food . How could we not try & help them, after they have helped cats for us in the past ! Even if it's just 50p per person on here to help them with kitten food (and poss a bit of adult food too😉😊 ) as they so desperately need it right now😪 ! Below is a link in pic and the plea poster from Romney House Cat Rescue a reg charity, for their Amazon wishlist, if you would rather or prefer to buy the food directly for them, and what is needed exactly, or there is also a link to their donations page in the poster pic below, if you'd like to make a small but I'm sure will be a very gratefully recieved donation! 😀🥰 Many thanks in advance to you all , and enjoy the rest of your Sunday Maria @ To The Rescue ###

This heartfelt painting, was created to remember service dogs. ❤

The other I took from a friend's profile, as I thought this was also a beautiful piece.

Please show your support, and gratitude to all that lost their lives in WWII, and to those who are still with us, by taking part in today's two minute silence.

The Halfway Doghouse need your help quickly.

There is a time frame due to this ridiculous ban on XL Bullys.

Imagine if it were your preferred breed being threatened as a banned breed. Think how you would feel.

No animal asked to be here, and they don't deserve to have their lives at risk.

Please read the picture, make contact with them direct, and thank you in advance for any help you can give them.

Update on XL Bully Ban. If you have this type of dog, please DO NOT PANIC, there will be information on how to register your dog exempt and there will be informative groups to help you.

From BBC article:
American bully XLs are now officially banned and government guidance has been published on rules for current owners.
From 1 February 2024 it will be a criminal offence to own one unless owners have successfully applied for it to be exempt in England and Wales.
There will be a longer deadline for owners to ensure the dogs are neutered and microchipped.
It follows a number of attacks involving the breed, although owners insist the dogs make lovable pets.
From 31 December 2023 it will be against the law to sell, abandon, breed from or give away an American bully XL, or have one in public without a lead or muzzle.
If your dog is less than one year old on 31 January 2024, it must be neutered by 31 December next year. If your dog is older than one year old on 31 January 2024, it must be neutered by 30 June.
The guidance is similar to that issued for the four breeds which were banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991: the American pit bull terrier, the Japanese tosa, the Dogo Argentinos and the Fila Brazileiro.
Published by Defra, the new rules also give details defining an American Bully XL, which is not a breed recognised by the Kennel Club in the UK.
According to this, the dogs are a "large dog with a muscular body and blocky head, suggesting great strength and power for its size. Powerfully built individual".

Good morning, everyone,

Are we still having our companions chips checked every now and then? I do mine monthly to ensure my details are still showing, and up to date.

Some interesting information below about microchips. Please have a read...

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=728879292615383&id=100064799556013

Have you ever asked yourself why there are so many lost dogs with unregistered microchips?

Reasons why a microchip is not registered and the pitfalls for pet owners:

1. A couple of big databases lost registrations when their systems were updated.

2. Databases not updating registration in a timely manner.

3. Puppies and dogs imported from overseas and sold in the UK will be microchipped but not registered on a UK database.

4. Fraudulent microchip databases trading in the UK and are on top when searching Google! The microchip registration does not show in the UK and will read as unregistered.

5. Puppy farmers will pass on microchip registration papers unregistered.

6. The public, wrongly, assume that signing up to a veterinary clinic automatically updates their microchip registration.

7. All but one database charges the public to update their own data. Charging anything up to £30!

8. Microchip databases allowing third parties to change registration without contacting original keeper.

Please double check your dog’s microchip registration is correct : PetDatabase are Defra compliant and FREE for life, even free to update your personal information and they can transfer microchips for you. https://www.petdatabase.com/chip-checker

If you are not registered on one of the databases listed on the Defra list you are risking not getting your missing pet back home. https://www.gov.uk/get-your-dog-cat-microchipped

Note: You must make sure your dog is fitted with a microchip and registered on a database by the time it’s 8 weeks old.

From 10 June 2024, cats in England will need to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they’re 20 weeks old.

You can be fined up to £500 if your dog or cat is not microchipped when they need to be.

they don’t reunite if the contact information is old and out of date 💔
