Dogs Trust

I'm hoping to meet the oldest dog in the world soon, and if you're anywhere near Shropshire you can too - just for the price of a donation! Here's more info:

Two very different press releases from Dogs Trust today - one concerning a dog looking for a new home:

LUCIAS - THE DOG FED UP WITH THE BRITISH WEATHER!

Former homeless dog despises the drizzle

Having spent his life on the streets with his homeless owner, you would think that 11 year old Lucias, would be used to the British weather. However, the friendly Staffordshire Bull Terrier has had enough and is now firmly refusing to step foot outside if it rains, even in the slightest drizzle.  

The Company of Animals is delighted to announce that as part of its third Dog Train & Behave Week (25th July -1st August 2009), it staged a master class on ‘stop pulling’ at Dogs Trust’s Harefield centre in West London on Tuesday 28th July.

Most days I receive a few dog-related press releases via email and they vary tremendously. Hearing about a rescue dog looking for a good home makes me sad, but I'm glad if I can be of assistance at all. The latest notification I've received is concerning Windsor:

WINDSOR LOOKS FOR HIS OWN CASTLE IN SHROPSHIRE
Local rescue dog searches for a new home

Windsor, a seven year old black Collie cross is on the look-out for a new abode after being handed into Dogs Trust Roden when his owners could no longer care for him.

If you are looking for something fun next weekend and you're anywhere near Shropshire, try this:

FABULOUS FAMILY FUN WITH YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS

Dogs Trust Roden hosts its annual Open Day this Sunday 5th July 2009

Dogs and dog lovers are in for a real treat on Sunday 5th July 2009, as Dogs Trust Roden Rehoming Centre hosts this year’s Open Day and Fun Dog Show!

Dogs Trust do an incredible job in the UK rehoming dogs and making those in their shelters as happy as possible. At my local shelter there are a mother and son looking for a new home together. They look lovely and I hope they are soon happily settled with a new owner. Bless 'em.
