Pigs / Dogs – it’s in the eye of the beholder

The Swine Flu impact

This week we have some disappointing news…unfortunately the latest group of dogs due to come over to us from Bulgaria have been delayed due to an African Swine Fever outbreak in Eastern Europe.

Swine Flu is an issue because an outbreak prevents the transportation of any animals through affected areas. This is a measure put in place to try and slow or stop the spread of the disease African Swine Fever, which is highly contagious and causes pigs to become poorly very quickly, resulting in death within just one week of infection.

Catch us on Channel 5 this Sunday – and help us fund the next stage of our project!

by

We are very excited to announce that later this month we’ll be back on Channel 5 as we’ve been featured in their brand new series, My Houseful of Animals! The light-hearted TV show, which shares the stories of animal lovers and fellow rescuers alike, airs on the 21stJuly.

Although we had reservations about the initial project, this one came unexpectedly and is a welcome surprise. It more accurately reflects the nature of what we do at Dogs 4 Rescue and offers some lovely insights into what daily life here is like. Most importantly we’re thrilled as it gets the street dogs from abroad some much-needed exposure and enabled us to get across our positive message regarding rescue dogs, in particular those saved from abroad. 

What it doesn’t show unfortunately is our fabulous dog park and the progress we’ve made in making it what it is today. We’d like to use this opportunity to ask for another push to help us to achieve our vision – and use the exposure from the Channel 5 feature to help us fund the next stage of our fantastic project!

Fostering Blog… By Nadia

by

I’ve always loved dogs, I’ve always been around them, and as a child I always just assumed that when I grew up I’d have a dog or two of my own. But the realities of adulthood, primarily the fact that I’m out at work for most of the day, have meant that the time has never been right for me to adopt a dog. I’ve considered options such as dog walkers and doggy day cares, which are abundant these days, but for one reason or another, this has never really felt the way to go for me personally – and besides, my partner had never been a dog person anyway, so he probably wouldn’t agree to it.

Foreign Dogs are Under Attack; From the Most Unlikely of Organisations

by

In defence of dogs we write this post out of utter horror at the latest tactics by the big names in rescue (RSPCA and Dogs Trust) to destroy foreign dog rescue.

The same question never goes away for us and we defend it daily from visitors and online critics, yet is still something I can barely believe is even a consideration.  These big names seem to have picked up on some public opinion and jumped on it, fuelling it and using it to their advantage.

Separation Anxiety in Dogs

by


Dogs naturally do not have separation anxiety.  Those who have not had homes before (i.e. have not lived with people) do not have separation anxiety i.e. many of our street dogs from abroad, but it doesn’t mean they cannot develop it, and fast.  With the correct training it can also go away again.  The key is to watch for the signs and do something about it before it escalates.  This is the same with any unwanted behaviour.
