DOGS OF DOGTOWN SA
 
JACK
1 of 65
Last updated on Wednesday, May 8 2013
Jack was confiscated by our inspector – he lived a life of neglect in a small courtyard without adequate shelter, food or attention. Jack has flourished at DogTownSA and is now a happy, inquisitive, playful and jovial chap, who is spunky and full of character! This athletic, charming and independent lad loves going for walks and is always up for adventure. When he’s not poking his nose into every look and cranny, you will find him chilling on his bed, soaking up the sun. Jack enjoys the company of female dogs (that are bigger than him) as well as older, responsible children (12+). He would be an enjoyable companion and delightful best friend! * Unable to adopt Jack? Then please show your love and support by SMS’ing DOG to 38919. Your donation will go towards caring for the dogs of Barking Mad’s DogtownSA. SMS costs R10, SA networks only.

URGENT APPEALS

Dog Town

Hi Everyone,

 

This is a plea to anyone in Gauteng that is willing to foster young and old, large and small dogs in Gauteng.

These animals have been cooped up in a kennel for many months and my heart aches when I see all those faces looking at me through the fence.

The majority of our dogs are large breeds and they need to have a chance to be free and have space to move and run and play.

 

If you think it is sad for you to look into these cages, imagine how they are feeling looking out.

 

If you feel that you are able to foster a dog, that you can afford to look after him, care for him, feed him, and if you have the space for him in your yard

and can offer him a special temporary home please contact me on Trix4Animals@gmail.comv

FUNDRAISING

WATERSHED ANIMAL RESCUE AND REHABILITATION
FUND

085-455-NPO

Dear Networkers

I regret to inform all of you that as of last Friday, 3 rd August,
our flight sponsorship from Comair was terminated.

There letter read “we are in the process of undergoing a
massive cost cutting initiative and regrettably we’re no longer
in the position to cover the freight cost for the animals.”

This came as a big shock to us as in the past few years this
flight sponsorship has saved so many animals lives.

I have asked Bidair for there flight cost estimations (which
I have attached). We will still be saving a bit of money as
we have crates and will be booking directly with Bidair and
not working through a Pet Carrier Service so the costs will be
lessened by about R500 – R800.

Watershed is starting a “flight fund” as well so that we can
help when we have funds for this, especially when the dogs
are flying from rescue centre to rescue centre and no adoption
fee is to be paid. If you would like to get people to donate to
the flight fund (even R50 a month will help build up the kitty)
then please let them have the fund banking details and please

reference it “flight fund”. If this fund “takes off” positively,
I will keep you all in the loop as to how much funds we have
in the kitty and if we can help with the next flight. I do think
though that if there is funds available, you STILL waiver your
adoption fee on your flight dogs, and then we can pay this
towards that flight plus “top it up” with the kitty money if it
is needed. In doing this, we can lessen the cost per flight and
thus be able to help with more. (hope this makes sense)

I am so terribly sorry for this. I will be emailing Comair this
week to see if they cant at least give us 2 – 3 free flights a
month or if they can maybe give us a discounted price on the
flight costs attached.

So please bear with me, and I will try my utmost to get
assistance.

Please see attached the flight cost estimates as well as
WATERSHED banking details. Please don’t forget to reference
it “flight fund”.

With regards
STEPHNE JACKSON

NEW SCAM - BE ALERT!!!
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
CHEWING
Chewing is a normal and natural thing for young puppies to do and it’s needed to maintain the health of your dog’s teeth. To dogs all objects are possible chew toys. Dogs also chew to relieve anxiety and boredom. After all there are only so many things pup can do to keep him or herself entertained, while you are not around.

When a pup lives with a human, it is the human’s job to teach him what’s OK to chew and what’s not OK to chew.
Chew training a puppy usually takes 1-3 months, and there may be times you can’t actively supervise his activities.

Always set up pup for success, when you are not around and mistakes can happen,
Confine your pup to a comfortable safe area; such as a single room this must contain a comfortable bed, a bowl of water, a doggy toilet (if not yet housetrained), and 6-7 freshly stuffed chew toys. These chew toys must be the only things available to chew.
In this environment your pup is training himself to chew toys and these chew toys will become much more desirable for your dog to chew as opposed to carpets, shoes etc.
We confine pup to prevent your dog from chewing inappropriate items around the house and to maximize the chance of a chew toy habit developing.
Praise, praise, praise each time your pup chews something right. REWARD good behaviour IGNORE bad behaviour.

Your dog will learn to settle down and entertain himself with his chew toys as soon as you leave in the morning, and he will probably search for chew toys when he wakes.

Chew toys should be indestructible and no consumable.
Examples of chew toys: Kongs, sterilized long bones, hooves that can be stuffed with treats.
Squeeze a piece of liver in the small hole of the Kong, fill the rest of the hole with part of his daily meal (if kibble moisten it first) and then put the Kongs in the freezer.
As the food thaws, it starts to fall out and this reinforces your pup to play with the chew toy, which in return will release more food. What fun.
Until your pup is fully chew toy-trained, feed all his meals from chew toys, or hand feed meals as rewards when you notice your dog is chewing a chew toy.

If a mistake ever happens, it’s your fault. Don’t shout at the dog especially if he is no longer chewing your new Jimmy Choo he will not relate your ranting to the new chew toy he found on the floor.
All he’ll learn is “when you come home, I get punished.”  Making him more anxious and more likely to chew even more worrying about your arrival home.
If you catch pup in the act of chewing your new shoes, offer him a yummy chew toy in exchange for the shoe. This will also teach pup to release stuff you ask him for. If you just snatch the shoe off pup he will learn that when he sees you approaching while he is chewing down on his new found toy, you are going to take away his toy and fun and he will learn to run away or even worse develop a chewing habit in private.
Happy Training.
