ContentCollie

Just wanted to confirm. Is it one dog per person or can you enter as many dogs as you want to? Does it have to be a recent photo? Just wanted to make sure ;)

I've paypaled the payment over just now for a jotter and a couple of pens, hope it covers it.

I'll paypal over to you, and you can send me a random one, all for a good cause ;)

I am hopefully taking on an older collie who only has 3 legs soon. Would it be possible to make one with only the one leg hole at the front?

Could I have a border wollie I mean collie one please if there are any left?

Do you think that these would stay in place on a 3 legged dog who has a front leg missing?

£21.03p has been made so far for the Oldies club. Thanks to everyone who has bid on the item

Can I have 2 please? Would have to be Tara banana, she's just the dog I'm looking for, loves water, toys, fine with cats and children, but she's the other end of the country to me OR Lemon, my son has a heart condition so I understand about all that and have had a dog with amputated toes too. Again, he's the other side of the county to me. Will have to cross my fingers and toes that they both get lovely homes

I hope this lovely girl finds a home very soon. She sounds like my ideal dog, likes water - I used to take my boy swimming all the time, and loves to play ball - my border collie was toy mad. Remember the 'throw the ball, throw the ball!!' scene in the Eddie Murphy version of Dr Doolittle? that was my boy

I've lit some candles for oldies that I've lost. Not all dogs though, I hope thats ok?

Over the next week I shall be listing some items in aid of rescues. One of the rescues will be the oldies club. My username on Ebay is Sieroc. Please bid generously

Thanks for your replies everyone, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I'd LOVE to work with older animals, they get so overlooked hence why I've taken on so many oldies myself. I have taken on 3 older cats aged between 10 - 15 when they came to me. Sadly all have passed over now, 2 older collies aged 7 and 8 when we had them. One I took from a farmer who had tried to fix his leg himself with a bit of wood as a split as he was (in his words) too good to shoot, and left him tied up outside all winter with his leg like that. It cost nearly £1000 to fix his leg and was worth every penny, he was so brave. He took to my dad and they were together 10 years before the cancer in his toes, despite having some amputated was too much and he was pts. Again they've both passed on now and also 2 of the rescues that came in aged 16 and 17 when they came to the rescue, they were bonded and a home was very unlikely to come up so I fostered them for their remaining days. I also have 3 rescue older ponies, the oldest was 23 when I took her on and she is 25 next may. I would love to foster again, but as I have a young child(7 months) I doubt it would be the best environment for an older dog that wants a bit of peace and quiet but I'd love to help out. I have experience with animals with 'defects' as I have a 3 legged cat, a cat with impared vision. I have trained 2 deaf dogs with hand signals, a bull terrier and a dalmatian. Also had a pony for 15 years that was blind in one eye and partually sighted in another. I sadly lost him a year ago to a brain tumour. I had a rescue guinea pig that I took on that had to have her eye removed after someone poured battery acid over her. Sorry to babble, eager to start helping. I'll post some photos of my furbabies as soon as I work out how lol

Hello,I'm Claire and am owned by horse and ponies, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets and a rabbit. I love animals, and have a real passion for rescued animals. I used to work (unofficially co manage really as it was only the owner and myself) at a boarding kennels that took overflow for a rescue centre. We were supposed to only take 7 rescue animals at any one time but we ended up having about 80% rescue 20% boarding. I loved my job, it was my dream job, emotional, rewarding, enraging at times but so worth it, but sadly due to financial reasons the kennels were closed. Shortly after that I moved back home to Powys, Wales, and have had a baby. I am missing working with rescues, and although I don't have much spare time being a single parent, I am looking to offer a few hours a fortnight/week if needed to a rescue centre. I have 25 years experience with horses, know alot about all sorts of small animals, particularly cavies, rabbits and chinchillas. I have a particular interest in dog agility (would also help me shift some of this baby weight I still have) and clicker training. Having had border collies my whole life and would love to offer my time, whether it be simply cleaning out animals, training or anything else. I really don't know where to start as the only local place I knew of doesn't take volenteers as their insurance doesn't cover it. I really want to feel like I'm making a difference again. This will hopefully benefit, not only the animals but myself as I lost my beloved dog last year He was my freind, soulmate and cofidant. I miss him terribly, and think that spending more time with other dogs will help the healing process along. I am on the Powys/Shrops border and am itching to get out there and start making a difference again.
