24.01.2022 Wow warm day today on top of a huge play at Bradley Park Redcliffe after a great training session......

22.01.2022 This is so true......

21.01.2022 **AWARENESS POST** **UPDATE** a lot of questions that I will answer in the following.. Dolly is a Labradoodle. This incident occurred from spending one day at t...he beach and we played fetch for a few hours. If you are concerned about playing fetch on the beach with your pet then consult your vet about the safest way to do so. We took dolly to the beach on the weekend and were playing fetch with her ball. It wasn’t until later on that day we realised something was wrong. She was clearly uncomfortable, grouchy and couldn’t keep anything down. We decided to take her to the out of hours vets where we were staying. Luckily we did as she had sand impacted in her intestines as you can see in the X-ray she was completely blocked up. We were told she’d most likely need an operation and a long recovery and the chance of sepsis etc.. however we were lucky after 2 nights in the vets and lots of TLC she was discharged. This happened because every time she collected the ball residue of sand was ingested. We never thought something like this could happen and wanted to make people aware to prevent this from happening to anyone else. She is now perfectly well and we are so thankful

20.01.2022 Mac is a very nervous dog around other dogs so I am very slowly building his confidence. He’s a great communicator and let’s the other dogs know how he feels. It’s his first stay here. Nicole

20.01.2022 Edited to add: This is just a photo from the internet, we do NOT have this dog in Rescue PLEASE READ!! (repost from Red Dog Rescue) Those in rescue know th...e importance of decompression. We do our best to stress this concept to adopters and fosters. Many people wanting to return their foster dogs or adopted dogs express behaviour concerns within the first 72 hours and are ready to give up. By the time you take a new dog into your home as a foster or an adopter, it has gone through a world of change. Some of these dogs are owner surrenders to shelters. They were living a lovely life in a home, they went for a car ride with their family and suddenly they are trapped in a tiny cold kennel at a shelter. Others may have lived alone on a chain in a yard their whole life. Now they are surrounded by strange people, strange sounds, and strange smells. Some of these dogs are strays that got lost and couldn’t find their way home. Some of the dogs are street dogs, who have never had a home and have no idea they want one. At some shelters these strange people are suddenly sticking them with needles and putting them through strange temperament tests. They are absolutely petrified. Then a rescue or foster comes in to save them, but the dog doesn’t know that. They are loaded up in vans and cars and are driven across town to somewhere they can stay for the time being. If this was a person they would be broken down and seeking help. The dogs on the other hand are expected to know when and where to potty, what they can and can’t chew on, to sleep quiet in a new kennel, and to be so excited to meet new friends. For some dogs, they make the transition okay. Others make so many doggy mistakes and are given up on because they take longer to adjust and need more guidance. Unfortunately for the dogs people forget that they can’t talk. They bark, they cry, they howl, the growl; they try to express their concerns in doggy language. They don’t know what we want, they have to be taught what we want. They aren’t perfect dogs. Many are broken, some are just bruised, but they all need you. Fostering and adopting isn’t always pretty, it isn’t always clean, but it is always worth it. It’s our job to love them and train them. If you are not willing to commit to these animals, who have already been through so much, don't adopt one until you are. Give them the decompression time that they deserve so they can do what they do best, love you.
