Robert

Last updated on Wednesday, Aug 17 2011
Robert is an unclaimed victim of a hit and run. Despite his strength, Robert is a very well-mannered young man. An alert, confident observer who enjoys a good regular walk (not too far please) and quiet time with his family. He is good with kids. No cats and we need to test him out with other dogs but he shows promise :-) STRICT HOME CHECK AND ADOPTION RULES APPLY

LOST AND FOUND

Dog Town
LOCATION - PORT ELIZABETH, I'm writing about the dog that I have found. He just came up to our front door, but I have no idea in what direction he came from. I walked with him up and down the streets to see if somebody might know him, but no luck so far. We live in 10 Timothy Avenue, Charlo. This was two days ago (30 November) at about 11:30 am. Another lady also living in Timothy Avenue said she would care for him until we find his owners. Nobody called so far. •He looks very much like a laborador, yellow •Quite young - medium sized •Male •Collar, but no name or contact details, does not look like he is chipped. •He is very friendly and quite obedient. •I'm sure he has a nice family, and maybe a family with children as he seems very intrigued when children walks past and barks and howls at them. •He is in a safe environment now, but I'm sure there must be people out there missing him a lot. Contact details: The lady with whom he is staying now - Hoflinger ( 041 367 3756 ) My cell - Lindie ( 071 868 5371 ). PROOF OF OWNERSHIP REQUIRED.

PAWS R US (Gauteng) - WHO WILL STAND UP AND SHELTER THEM WHEN THEY NEED US THE MOST?

It’s crunch time animal lovers. The holiday season is on our doorstep, and the human race is about to forget any and all responsibility for their pets.

A festive season for us, but an "Auschwitz" for dogs and cats. All animal rescue and welfare organisations will NEED YOU NOW.

YOU - the few who step up, when others turn away. YOU - the human who cares more, when others couldnt care less. PLEASE help us to help them! We need FOSTER HOMES URGENTLY - we are receiving another 8 rescues this Saturday, and we have nowhere to go with them. We rely on appeals such as this one, to reach those who care enough to offer shelter and love. If you can open your heart, and your home to a RESCUE IN NEED, please email us on pawsrus@gmail.co.za. We support our foster circle with dog food, and we take care of all veterinary costs (when required). We help with introductions between the newcomer and existing members of your pack (where relevant). All you need to do is CARE ENOUGH to OFFER THEM REFUGE when they NEED US THE MOST!

Please can you put on your web site the current scam on teacup terriers, they say that they have moved to Botswana and just need the airfare to ship the puppy over. Once you have dep the money, they need more money for quarantine, This is big, I lost R3000.00, and found another three operators on gum tree, all basically saying the same thing.

PET TIP
STEALING
When your dog steals something do you chase after him trying to get it back?  
Don’t play this game of chase anymore.  You are reinforcing an unwanted behaviour. The more attention you give him for stealing something, the more he’ll steal.    
As long as it’s not dangerous ignore him when he steals something, he’ll stop pretty soon if there is no reinforcement involved. Write the incident off to your mistake, as you are the one who left it lying around in the first place. Remember prevention is better than cure.
Make sure he can’t get to items, which are off-limits. Keep tables and counters completely free of food and other fun chewables; keep the laundry out of your dogs reach for several months until he no longer looks there for fun.  He is stealing this stuff to entertain himself so rather have plenty of yummy chew treats to keep him busy and make sure he is getting exercise and his mind is being stimulated with fun games. If your dog has stolen something you need to take back. Don’t just take the article from him this will only teach him that when he has his fun toy and you come towards him, his fun is going to stop and he will begin to hide with his stolen items. Instead offer him something much better a great big yummy chew toy, not only will he drop the stolen item for you to get back but he will be occupied with this new yummy treat and he will completely forget his stolen item. This will also make him happy when he sees you approaching because good things come from you.
