This really is excellent work by FOD council. Boarding dogs without a license is illegal and it’s good to see a council actually dealing with the situation.

A Forest of Dean Resident has pleaded guilty to offences of failing to meet an animal’s needs, causing unnecessary suffering to dogs, selling dogs without a licence and boarding dogs without a licence. In addition, he pleaded guilty to an offence relating to the Fraud Act 2006.

At a hearing today, 27 September 2024, Mr Edward Rafferty was sentenced to 22 months custody, suspended for 18 months and unpaid work of 200 hours.

He was also ordered to pay £151,241.50 under the Proceeds of Crime Act, payable within 3 months, as this was his estimated profit from the illegal sale of dogs. There was an order of costs made against him of £7701.00 and he also has to pay compensation to victims of £342.22 and a victim surcharge of £149.00.

Mr Rafferty was disqualified from keeping dogs for life.

Did you know today is national pet day?

Anyone who knows me, knows I’ve a bit of a soft spot for a Labrador 😍 Here are my 3, Livvy, Holly and Molly. Both Molly and Livvy found their way into our home from Labradors in need who I volunteer with.

If you’ve got a Labrador size hole in your life maybe we can help fill it for you? We are also desperately short of volunteers in this area to help with home checks, transport runs and fostering. If you can help in any way please do get in touch 🐾😍

I actually completed this course in January but it’s taken this long for the certificate to arrive!

Anyway as you can see I’m now Level 3 first aid trained, which means amongst other things, that I know how to deal with a choking dog and can administer cpr. Let’s hope I never need to use those skills 🐾😊

An interesting article about the cost of vets. I think they should also look at the cost of insurance. Some of the in increases in premiums I’ve heard about are ridiculous.

The competition watchdog said that pet owners struggle to access information such as price lists.
