Sunday sharing post.

As we begin October we’ve had a good few of our dogs adopted and a few reserved with up coming meets. Sadly though the four below are still in our care and haven’t had any suitable interest. Please can everyone share and help us home these beauties. The two boys below have now both been in our care for a year! We would absolutely love to see them in loving homes. None are cat friendly.

Fancy doing something different😏?

Have a few hours spare one evening a week?

Then we have just the role🤗.

We have slots available for evening hospital partners based in Paddock Wood📍.

This entails the feeding and cleaning of the casualties at our hospital unit, with shifts running from 5pm-8pm, with some flexibility🦊.

Full training and support provided😁.

Can’t do evenings but still want to help?

We have a couple of morning shifts also available (9am-midday), and opportunities for new rescuers, but please note access to a car is needed🙂.

If you are interested in volunteering with us then please e-mail [email protected] 🦊😁

COPIED!!
Absolutely brilliant!!
The other day I was at the local public park (not a dog park, but dogs are allowed there). We were walking along in a high movement area so I had my dog on a leash. Another dog, off leash, sees us and starts approaching.
My dog needs her space so we start moving away, but the dog got to us before we could leave. My dog was stressing a little so I politely said to the woman, sorry my dog doesn't want to play and ushered her dog away.
Her dog gets the message and moves on.
Quite good, right? Here comes the juicy part:
As I’m leaving the owner comes to me with a speech more or less like this:
Hey, if your dog is nervous and doesn’t even want to play with other dogs, go somewhere else! Don’t come to the park and ruin other dogs fun.
I heard this and a wave of fury started taking over, but suddenly I think I had a lightbulb moment and switched gears completely.
With the biggest, friendliest smile, I opened my arms as wide as I could and said Ohhhhh! Come here... I want to give you a BIG hug!
With panic in her eyes she backs up, speechless and quickly starts walking away.
I said "Hey, don’t run, I’m so friendly, come on, I only want to give you a hug! I’m friendly I promise... I just want to Hug You!"
Still speechless and backing away with terror now, I said "Wait, You don’t want my friendly hug?"
She yelled No!
I said "Well neither does my dog! Have a nice day.!!!"
As I walked away, I saw her just standing there, speechless and she was leashing her dog! 😅
I think I’ll try this approach more often 🤣

Who agrees with this?

❌ RAPESEED! ❌

It’s that time of year again where farmers fields have blossomed into pretty yellow flowers, these plants are called rapeseed. Although it may be tempting to place your dog in the mist to take a scenic photo, please avoid this at all costs!

Rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, especially in highly sensitive canines.

Rapeseed is listed by Dogs Trust as toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as:

❌ Haemolytic Anaemia
❌ Blindness
❌ Damaged Nervous System
❌ Digestive Disorders
❌ Breathing Problems

Even walking through these fields should be avoided! In June 2019, a dog has been reported to suffer from severe open wounds after running through a crop of rapeseed.

Please seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows any signs of rapeseed poisoning!
