Race to save dogs.


This past few days has been taken up trying to find homes for 25 condemned dogs at Abergele Dog Pound. I emailed Michelle Chalk who runs a lost and found pet regester and within hours I was receiving offers of help from all over the UK. This was a fine example of the power of the internet.Thanks Michelle for sending out my urgent appeal and thanks to everyone who kindly responded with asistance. Thanks to this, to the best of my knowledge all dogs were saved.Unfortunately the person who rus the dog pound is no longer answering her phone so I am unable to find out if there are any dogs left, however the person who collected two of the dogs for Freshfields, did not seem to think there were many, if any left there.
The two dogs we have are a white German Shepherd, a very handsome, good natured animal and a dear little jack russell/kelpie cross female we have called Maisie.It is devastating to think how near these two lovely dogs were to losing their lives.How did they end up there in the first place? The Gsd had an owner who did not care enough to collect his dog when informed he was in the pound!!!!Maisie was an unclaimed stray. As all dog lovers know this scenario is occurring all over the country, and we are supposed to be a nation of animal lovers!
So the urgency is over, for now - until the next time. Look out for pictures of Maisie and the GSD tomotrrow (when my camera battery is charged"!)
