Trallwm farm Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Does anybody atcually know the rescue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oh hell I'd assumed an owner was involved in this. Could an appeal go out for a foster home for her instead? Does she really have to go to a kennels. She'll be terrified surely. No offence intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggielover Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Damn, I was up in this area this morning, didn't realise she was still on the loose! Edited February 23, 2008 by doggielover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebejo Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 The kennels she is going to are appealing for fosterers on their website. I'm sure they'd be grateful of anybody offering to foster this girl. I expect she'll be very very difficult. If anybody can foster her I'll gladly pass on details of the rescue via PM.

Peachy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I 'know' the rescue, in that my ex-OH fostered two dogs for them over Christmas, have done a bit of dog walking for them and Ronnie's hydro pool is there. They are also a boarding kennel and breed Japanese Spitz dogs. My gut feeling is they are ok(ish), don't PTS, but this dog would be better with a more dedicated rescue or someone with more time/exposure to behaviour issues. My main concern is that they didn't know anything about me, other than my first name, when I started walking dogs for them. I was allowed free access into each dogs kennel and may not have had a clue about dogs, as far as they knew. The kennels she is going to are appealing for fosterers on their website. I'm sure they'd be grateful of anybody offering to foster this girl. I expect she'll be very very difficult. If anybody can foster her I'll gladly pass on details of the rescue via PM. ...but beware, my ex-OH wasn't homechecked for fostering. He rang in the morning, collected in the afternoon. He filled out a form with his name and address but that was it. Luckily for them, he's normal and has a lot of experience with dogs but how did they know that?

Jacobean Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Maybe an appeal could be put on greyhound gap, lurcher link, sighthound welfare etc etc. Those that are more involved with this breed may know of a very good foster home that can help nurture this one.

crazydiamond Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think that once captured this girl has a Dane rescue to go to . . . .unless that has changed in the last couple of months. Sully knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Absolutely everything crossed that trapping her in the garden works. She's obviously very smart and very wary to have stayed on the loose all this time, so it's probably going to be a one-off chance. With a dog this big who's been feral for so long it's surely a bit early to be talking about a foster home, unless it was with someone VERY experienced? I'd have thought the best bet would be to get her into a kennels that has the skills to start rehabilitation and do a proper assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullywully Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 the people stayed up until 1pm, the dog didnt show up to eat the food in the garden till after that when the people had gone to bed. The people will try again and again over the next few days, the are very determined. When we catch her i will let you know where she goes and what happens.

Jacobean Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks Sully. I was originally thinking of a very experienced foster home Fee. Depends on the rescue how much rehabilitation and assessment she'll get. She'll still need rehabilitating in a home anyway. Really hope they manage to get hold of her soon. Best of luck.

Peachy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks for the update Sully. Please let us know if the people need a hand. I'm sure a couple of us wouldn't mind lurking around the corner, ready to hold the gate shut when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullywully Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 From the sounds of it they are best off doing the trapping themselves, if the dog is spooked it darts off, or if it sees people about it wont come at all. Last night it didnt come till 2 - 4am cos it was busy in the early evening and she stays away until it calms down. I spoke to the lady in faringdon, they are certain that their garden is 6ft fenced and Dane proof, concrete around the edges to stop her digging out, and the gate has a good latch and once its shut its shut. they have rope leading to an upstairs window and have tested it many times. The dog has already learnt to go into the garden each night so its just a matter of time until they get the chance. i pm'ed Fee, if we need help fostering we will contact her, thanks Sully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
