TIME FOR A CONNIE UPDATE!

Just a little bit of history for our new followers :-)

It has been 5 months and 8 days since a mammoth effort by a community that didnt know a terrified and scared little puppy mill dog, came together to help get her safe..

Missy as she was known then, was trapped and secured on the 16th of May and safely delivered into the loving arms of Fay and Rene from A Mini Rescue who had the arduous task of trying to rehabilitate a very damaged puppy mill dog.. at new start and a new name, in honor of her very brief foster carer who she escaped from while being handed over, Connie ( human Connie) although undergoing treatment for cancer spent hours and hours walking, looking, searching, answering sightings.. so dedicated..

5 months and 8 days, Missy, now Connie is making great progress. An appointment previously was made to get her vaccinated, microchipped and desexed.. Unfortunately the desexing had to be postponed, as our little miss had started to come into heat.. However, Connie is now microchipped and vaccinated. There has been ups and downs with her rehabilitation, small things can set them back weeks in their progress.

Her favorite place in the world is on Fay and Rene's bed, although she dosnt like to be touched, that is entirely on her own terms, she will sometimes just get close enough to touch a finger or hand.. she is a sassy little girl, demanding her dinner with her fur siblings :-)

Fay and Rene have had to have so much patience, letting Connie take things at her own pace, she has a run that allows her to go outside when she wants, but keeps her safe.. If she gets upset, she will find something and tear it into tiny sheds :-D
but....
after 5 months and 8 days it happened!

Connie allowed herself to be petted and stroked without pulling away. she came up without being asked and just gave Fay's toes a little sniff and lick..
The very small things, we take for granted with our pups, the little show of affections, the small licks, for Connie those things are such a momentous occasion, she is the most loved doggy in the world with the best people she could have asked to be with

He is safe and well 🥰

Just look how tiny he is.

This little boy gave us all such a fright and we are so grateful he was caught so quickly.

As always bringing these little ones home is a group effort and we have so many people to thank.

Anita for reporting the first sighting and for calmly working with us.

Keryn and Juliet for your amazing round up skills - just awesome work.

The dream team of Annette and Ni Ni for completing a hat trick and guiding us every step of the way - first Alfie, then Missy and now this little man.

Our amazing villagers for all your cares and shares - that is really the key to getting lost dogs' home.

Also, the whole Banyo Community - you guys are amazing.

And finally, our amazing carers - who are always there ready to walk the streets day and night searching and sharing.

This little man will now decompress, and we will work on his anxiety before looking for his forever family.

There is one less frightened soul out there tonight - how we wish there were none at all xx

📣Banyo and Surrounds - Urgent Help 📣

Our Villagers and the whole community helped us bring Alfie and Missy home

Banyo now it's your turn - please share share share this post.

LAST SIGHTING
12.20 Sunday 20/08 - rear of 76 Musgrave Road Banyo

This little man has had no real human contact - he is 2
years old - barely weighs 2 kg

He is on the run in a strange place and will be terrified.

He will not come to anyone at this stage - our best chance of catching him is by tracking his movements and working out a plan when he has calmed down and feels safe.

He will no doubt be hiding out somewhere and will hopefully start moving as things quieten down in the area.

Please keep your eyes out for him and contact us urgently if you spot him.

PLEASE dont chase him, shout out or make eye contact.

If he does enter your yard and you can calmly and safely secure him please do so but please don't try and grab him.

We will update as sightings come in - with all your help we pray they will.

If you are local to the area and are able to help with posters and leaflet drops, please send us a message.

Thank You xx

We will share an update on Connie soon, however we have a more pressing issue.. this little one just came into care from a back yard breeder, he has had very little socialisation and like our girl Connie, will not come to people.. Unfortunately he dug out of his carers yard and took off.
If you live in the Banyo or surrounds, please share and keep your eyes peeled, he is barely 2kg and will be hard to spot, he will be very fast and be able to squeeze into the smallest of spaces.. you all know the drill now, don't approach, call, whistle or try and catch.. just ignore him and call the number supplied.. once again we need your help..

Connie update
from Fay
Connie update: From Fay
SATURDAY
'This morning I woke to an elephant dancing on my bed
Yes it was 6.02 and Connie wanted breakfast. She approached my outstretched hand twice, I didn’t quite touch her. She came right up to the pillow nose first pushing her self against me ( I was safely under the blanket) She then took the end of the blanket in her mouth and started to pull it off me Just like in a movie.

I got up and got her breakfast as she wanted After breakfast they dogs came back to bed Connie front legs on top of me sniffed my face all over with her little tail wagging like mad Happy Saturday'

Further progress was the introduction of 2 strangers into the house, while she didn't go near them, she didn't freak out either and hide. Connie also has an outside run now, so she go outside on the grass when she wants, she is still coming in quickly, and will take awhile to get used to it. Rene and Fay feel that she is ready to be desexed now, they have got her used to the vet they will use and she is very comfortable with her.. Connie also left a present on Fay's bed ( photo in comments )

Once again, this is the end result of puppy farms, poor little dogs like Connie.. At least Connie is getting the best care and is with the right people..
Say NO to puppy cuddles if they come to a shopping center near you..

She is quite the demanding little miss now😅
