💜🐾PLEASE HELP VINNY 🐾💜

❤️🐾EMERGENCY VET CARE 🐾❤️

Vinny is one of Salt’s beautiful dogs and we need help to cover his emergency vet care.

We have raised £265.00 of the £679.55 costs. There is a remaining balance of £414.55.

Copies of vet bill below.
Please is you can spare a £1 cover Vinny’s care, we would greatly appreciate this. We know times are hard and there are angels out there who can help Vinny 💜💜

Our Vinny has been admitted to the emergency vets as it is highly likely that he has pancreatitis.
Vinny is one of our forever foster boys who is in his senior years and so we are being advised as to what will be the best ongoing treatment for him.
If you could spare a £1.00 towards his bill we would be very grateful, as soon as we have any idea of what further costs will be, we will of course update you all.
Please keep Vinny in your thoughts and prayers x

Baby Derek is really distressed in kennels and needs a calm home to recover from the trauma he's had in his young life.
Do you have a Derek sized space on your sofa?

Dearest Friends of the Late Mrs Pepper and Sir Salt,
Whilst this page has quietened over the years following Mrs Pepper's passing, her beloved Sir Salt did begin his own group Sir Salt - A Tail of One Condiment - a place to share stories, photos, laugh and most importantly make dog and human friendships.
Sir Salt's Group is part of his legacy, and though no longer here those who knew him then, and those who have come along since are proud to be a part of his story.
Salt's Helping Hounds Rescue, named in memory of this special boy continues to champion for the underdog, to find foster placements and forever homes to those dogs of the greatest need.
And in support of the rescue there are two groups dedicated to supporting those dogs in need by raising funds.

I believe we have many followers from throughout the years but I hope that in reading this today, I can encourage anyone who hasn't already, to "like" the page, and follow the groups - all linked below x 💜

What's on my mind you ask?

The Salt's Helping Hounds Rescue summer auction is what is on my mind.

Hundreds of fantastic items, just waiting on new homes.

Help us to continue . Without your support and the hard work of the fundraising team, we wouldn't be able to help the dogs that we do

Let the whole world know what she did 💔🌈🐾

03/03/2023

Bella is a 2.5 year old staffy who is looking for a pet and child free home. Bella is a bright and clever dog who loves to learn and is responsive to training. Bella is a very active dog who is people friendly and affectionate.

Bella can be a little possessive over her toys initially when she is feeling unsure but once she has built up trust this is not a problem. We do feel that Bella suffering from phantom pregnancies will have impacted on this but Bella since coming into rescue has been neutered.

Bella walks well on a lead and on her assessment when passing dogs she didn’t show any interest. We have had Bella around children (age 4 & 8. ) and she walked quite happily with them and was happy for them to fuss her and give her treats.

The reason we are looking for a child free home is because Bella is still quite excitable and will jump up, her foster Mom has worked hard with her and she is calmer and with ongoing training this will easily be resolved.

Bella has been fine going on a walk with another dog but we are aware that previously to being in rescue she had lived with a resident dog but due to her energy levels and lack of training she was too much for the other dog within the house so the reason we feel Bella needs a pet free environment is to allow her potential adopter focus on her training.

Bella is ideally looking for a forever home within the Midlands and North West and you will need to be able to arrange to meet Bella. If you think you could offer Bella the ideal home please fill in the application below.

Cleo is a 17 week lurcher pup needing her forever home after having a rough start in life.

It is all about what Cleo needs which is a family that has an understanding of puppies and is prepared to put the work in that all puppies need.

Cleo has the most beautiful markings and she loves nothing more than cuddles and is food and treat orientated. She is an inquisitive pup and on meeting other dogs we are told she is happy and playful.

Cleo needs long term commitment which means she will need the input and training that all puppies need to become part of a family.

We believe the Cleo would be better suited to a pet free family with older dog savvy children.

If you think you can offer the home that Cleo needs please fill in the application form below, if you are reading this on instagram please head to our fb page.

If you are loving your dog with food then you are shortening your dogs life and it reaches a point where it is abuse 💔

Fat dogs face having pressure on their heart, painful joints and their over all health is affected 💔

This is Vinny, on the left is Vinny during lockdown at a time when visits couldn’t be made, due to him developing and abscess and needing veterinary treatment we discovered how fat Vinny was, approx 10kg overweight. When Vinny had gone into foster he was slightly over weight and we were very clear that Vinny needed to lose 3-4kg. Unfortunately during this time with his initial foster, rather than lose the weight he so desperately needed to, Vinny actually gained more and more, and then became very poorly. He had gained another 6-7kg…but apparently he got this way on a handful of kibble 🙄 It important to also note that Vinny had a few veterinary appoints due to serious gastro problems causing severe diarrhoea and sickness. On release after surgery for the abscess the very next day we were told that Vinny again had chronic diarrhoea and sickness, Vinny went back to the vets and was admitted.

After 4 days hospitalised Vinny was refusing to eat and was steadily going down hill. One of the admin went across to the vets as there were some serious decisions to be made as Vinny had needed a feeding tube and had pulled it out.

With Butternut Box and Beautiful Joe's Ethical Dog Treats in hand and despite being in lockdown the amazing My Pets Vets Ltd allowed us to have use of their family room…Vinny was brought in and it was heart breaking, he waddled and panted and just looked terrible.

The temptation of the treats and food made all the difference and Vinny took some food and started to eat. Vinny obviously wasn’t able to be released so Butternut arranged a next day delivery of their food direct to the vets. Vinny couldn’t be released until he was eating and the D&V had stopped, he started to eat well and all the gastro issues stopped.

As a rescue we made the decision to move Vinny into a new foster placement where we knew a strict diet would be adhered to and that he wouldn’t be given any other food and treats apart from Butternut and Beautiful Joes, fast forward and just look at him on the right, slimmed down to an appropriate weight and enjoying life to the full. Vinny has had to have further surgery to remove a couple of lumps but without a doubt if Vinny had undergone surgery when he was so incredibly overweight he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly and more importantly the surgery would have been high risk.

There is no excuse to allow our beloved pets to get so fat, they are reliant on us to provide them with a balanced healthy diet and knowing that having a fat dog can take around 2 years off their life why would we as loving pet owners want to lose out best friend earlier than we need to.

To starve a dog is abuse but so is over feeding our dogs, so give your dogs a well balanced diet and keep them healthy ❤️
