ReikiAnge Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 For whoever wins my little card auction - is PayPal the only way for them to pay? Mark, could you let me know about this? Just thinking if it's PayPal only I should make that clear on the listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollysdad Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Pay pal is good, cheques and postal orders are too as is cash in brown envelopes were not proud and will take anything (well not greenshield stamps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sam - would you be able to use the foldable animal carriers from Aldi...I think I have one or two of them at home if Mark can take them with him if they'd be useful?? they are excellent especially for getting cats to clinics so yes please and thank you Can I just say again a huge thank you to every one who has helped and is helping us I know every one is tight for funds ( both organstations and donators ) and I am truly grateful today I visited the site for Februarys clinic, we have over 50 animals signed up and although the vast majority of people helping us will never visit Sri Lanka let alone meet the animals and there owners I can promise you that each one of them in touched that people in the UK are helping them care for there animals Thank you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 here are some of the gratefull dogs from the January clinic. One of the main differences I found in Sri Lanka, is that people who need Dogstars help are not cruel or cant be bothered. They genuinely cant afford treatment and have no idea what to do when the dogs keep churning out puppies or get mange ridden. Unlike so many other countries I have visited, there isnt a hint of cruelty or a lack of care. When I am in egypt, the lack of love for the dogs is sad and no one cares if their dogs get sick. In Sri Lanka, they care a lot, they worry and they do what they can, but the clinics open up a whole new world for them and as a result, this little village will have much healthier pets living there.

kittycat Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 This weekend / half term at work they are doing lots of promotions and working with a local dog shelter to promote the release of Walt Disney's Bolt, Would it be ok with Dogstar for me to put up some posters with a list of items for needed and I can collect them (not money of course) over?

Pouchie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) I am sure this has been covered before, but what medical items that our vets over here may well discard, be useful over there? Thanks. Sorry if I am going over old ground but with regards to antibiotics do they have to be ones specifically labelled for animals. Here in Spain when one of the dogs need antibiotics the vet just writes out a "sort off" prescription (which is given back) which I take it to the chemist and pay around 4euros for a box of 24 human antibiotics. I would be quite happy to get a few boxes to send out if you think you could use them. My lab had to have 1 tablet twice a day for 1 week after having a lump removed and collie is having the same dose after having a ripped toe stitched up so sure they could be used generally Edited February 11, 2009 by Pouchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
