WILL YOUR NEXT PET BE A RESCUE?



 
PET TIP
TTOUCH
 I adopted my little girl Stella from the spca a month ago. She has not been exposed to much and has been quite weary of all new things. This is primarily due to her not experiencing a wide variety of things during her early learning period.
Today she came with me to my tellington touch course and we have both had the honour of working with Linda Tellington Jones herself today aswell as all the wonderful t touch practioners in training. All I can say is that today my little girl experienced so much and for the first time I feel she is happy in her own body :) This is wonderful work and I encourage you all to experience it with your dog. Contact the t touch office and see when they are holding their next workshops or call one of the many caring and loving t touch practioners we are blessed to have here in our country. You can get a list of the T touch practioners in your area through the t touch office. Please visit their website and explore this wonderful work :)

SIMBA
1 of 62
Added: 2011/11/15
Labrador, Collie mix, neutered male, approximately 1½ years. The most awesome dog! Came from a home where the dogs were beaten, starved and neglected, had to roam the streets and forage in rubbish and fight for what they received; Simba now appreciates his finer life, and nothing escapes his attention! An active dog, Simba loves to race around, rough and tumble with other dogs, romp in water and PLAY, PLAY, PLAY! Simba is perfect with other dogs, as well as horses and poultry (geese). Has met cats, with no drama. He’s too much of a gentleman to offend by fighting with the residents. Would thrive with training - Simba will do anything to please you. He is housetrained. A loving, playful and happy dog, Simba would be the ideal companion for responsible children.

FUNDRAISING
Dog Town
DERDEPOORT PROJECT:  Most of you should be familiar by now with our Derdepoort Low Cost Housing sterilization project (for those who are not yet familiar with this project, please let me know so that I can send you our Sept/Oct ’11 newsletter).
 
We received an emergency call from the caretaker at the housing project on Saturday evening, informing us that a dog (Bokkie – little miniature pincher, refer photographs attached) was severely bitten by another dog (a Ridgeback X Boerboel).  She also informed us that another pooch (Shakira – refer photograph attached, Staffie X) has been ill for three days and that she may have food poisoning after eating rotten fish………
 
Both doggies could however only be rushed to the vet on Sunday morning, with the following diagnosis:
 
- Bokkie:  Bokkie’s wounds will be thoroughly cleaned and treated.  It was established that his front left leg got badly broken during the fight and needs urgent medical intervention.  During the consultation it was decided to first try and help Bokkie conservatively (wound and fracture), but the provisional quotation amounts to R1,000-00.  If the conservative method is not successful, Bokkie would need to be referred to a specialist for further medical care, in which case the eventual medical expenses will likely exceed R5,000-00.  The vet can produce the compulsory info if required (also refer comments below)  
-  Shakira: It would at this point in time seem that Shakira definitely has food poisoning.  She stayed overnight at the vet for observation and received problem-solving treatment.
 
Bokkie’s unfortunate attack and subsequent injuries was brought about as an apparent direct consequence of another dog on heat and this could certainly have been prevented…  This is again a grim reminder to us all that this sterilisation project is SO important and crucial.  As you’ll notice on the attached photographs, the residents at the Derdepoort low cost housing project are truly fond of and taking good care of their pets, but do not have the financial means to pay for expensive veterinary care or to spay and neuter their animals.  We can all debate and argue the desirability for them to even have pets under these circumstances, but the reality is that we all love our animals irrespective of financial status.  They bring us joy, provide comfort, etc. and this is the same for every human being, no matter your financial situation, and the unconditional love we receive from our canine and feline companions is something that lets the sun shine brighter for every human being. As mentioned, these animals are otherwise well loved and cared for and we have a responsibility to help those who love their canine and feline companions dearly, but cannot afford expensive medical treatment.
 
Now for the part we always dislike to put forward……funding…  And believe me it’s not easy to ask… We need to raise funds to help Bokkie and Shakira and the funds which were so generously sponsored by private individuals for the Derdepoort sterilisation project are running low.  We subsequently need to make a plea and ask if you are able to make a donation towards Bokkie, Shakira (which is crucial) and / or the sterilisation project.  Funds can be paid directly into the vets account and he will provide the necessary invoices for the treatment, sterilisation, etc. if required.

Thanking you sincerely for your kind hearts on behalf of all the precious animals.  And remember, from Elephant to mice, they all leave paw prints in our hearts (some obviously bigger than others J) and they all depend on us to cherish the lasting impressions and example set by their unconditional love, only asking for a little love and affection in return.  Love is free, and our animal companions have buckets full to give, but unfortunately, their medical care require a small donation to fill this awful gap....
 
We all, unfortunately, know what the other alternative would be if funds aren’t raised to help Bokkie, Shakira and the other furry ones, and I personally would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I failed to aid in their plight... and this is also why I ask for your assistance...
 
All of our thankful regards,
