wiccaweys Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hello and Welcome to The Refuge. I thought I would start this thread off so Newbies have a thread already open to come and say hello. Nice and easy if you don't feel ready to starting a thread of your own just yet. Just say hi here, and introduce yourself when you are ready. I'm Sarah & I'm part of the Mod team. I also run Wiccaweys Rescue Border Collies & Working Sheepdogs with my partner Paul. We have about 20 permanent residents in our family, plus all the rescue dogs. Obviously we have a fair few collies racing round here, but we also have other doggie family members including 7 Pekingese, a Japanese Chin, a German Spitz, a Lurcher and an Irish Red & White Setter. We have a retirement home for old collies that are unlikely to get a home due to their age, and our oldest resident is the legendary Grandad Brynn who is about 21! We also have several cats, chickens and have recently had a small herd of pygmy goats join the family. That's me in a nutshell. Come along in and say hi - the waters lovely!

Rescuewoman Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thank you Sarah, since the water feels so good thought I would dip my toes I am Catherine, and I run a rescue on a voluntary basis in Warrington Cheshire along with a team of highly dedicated volunteers. The rescue, Warrington Animal Welfare, have a strong neutering policy which means we not only rescue dogs but also offer reduced or free neuterings to people who would not otherwise have their dogs done! Personally I am owned by three dogs, a Bearded Collie X called Molly who gave us all a fright a week or so ago by disappearing for 24 hours . A little Staffie x boy called Murphy who is now 14 years of age and one of my favourite ever boys he is so gentle considering the biting little boy who arrived with me! Then there is the BBB, my yorkshire terrier (enough said!). He is now 13 years old and getting younger by the day. I have worked in rescue for around 13 years and find it the most challenging thing I have ever done, while there are days I wish to give it all up .. the rest of the time I just keep going. Anyway hi to everyone Catherine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi everyone Im Mags and I live in Ireland with my better half, our 19 months old son, two dogs - boxer and westie, and two cats. I will be moving house shortly and when we get settled I am hoping to start fostering. I had a foster for a couple of weeks, a border collie called Jack who went to Wiccaweys (Hi Sarah ) and I believe he has since been rehomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
