Hello! yes all good, dogs well, I've moved back to South Australia into a crap house so have to fix it up . xxx hope you're all well and happy and healthy. xxx

OMG guess where I am now! WynnVale! will have to visit you. xxxx

This. Also, fences, kids, working hours, the usual stuff to consider for fostering. As far as I know, there aren't really any other breed rescues for dogs near Launceston. I can think of only one other and I'd be very wary of them (won't mention the group name on here but it's a working breed). On the other hand, if they like cats, Just Cats is a huge group near Longford and they always need foster carers for cats. I've heard some questionable things about the woman who runs it but by all accounts, she's a bit hard to get along with so it's no surprise people have complaints. Only other local option is the RSPCA up in Mowbray and they seem to make the application process as hard as possible and will turn people down for absurd reasons, like not being at home 24/7. they don't have any animals and are home all the time, but I'm not sure what the fence situation is ATM. x

thank you for all the information. I will make sure they are informed. xx

Hi, I haven't been on for a while, a few years! I have a relative who has recently moved to Tasmania, an hour from Launceston, and they are very interested in fostering . Are there any breed rescues or working dog rescues who need fosterers? or indeed any organisation , Thank you. xx

I am tentatively thinking of having a boarding kennels, although I have no idea what this entails regarding regulations, business planning, expenses, building requirements, any auditing etc. If anyone can assist me to make an informed decision, I would be very grateful. THANKYOU..xxx :)

Wow, thanks everyone. and thankyou for link to Wayrod. I have had a quote from dogtainers for the two inc. crates, one nights boarding, vet check.. Brisbane, singapore, heathrow.. $5200. I thought that was good, much lower than I expected. Considering the girls are 28kg and 35kg.. I am awaiting a quote from Jetpets and will ask a couple of breeders I know, who they use as they regularly send dogs OS for shows and breeding purposes. Of course my main worry is the girl's comfort, safety etc.. Jerojath.. :D Not sure yet, :) simply making enquiries, I've been seriously thinking of going for a while, and the last two years have spent some time there, and didn't want to come back.. I go between, What the heck, just go!! and OMG! I must be stark raving mad!!! :laugh:

Any ideas how to get hold of him? I think his inbox muxt be full

Mine LOVE their crates..LOL. Who is Wayrod? I don't think I've seen that before.. Thanks.

I know of dogtainers and jet pets, and I have applied for quotes from both. Can anyone with experiences of taking their dogs overseas tell me about both of these businesses and who they prefer and why? I know many breeders often send dogs overseas for showing/breeding etc. and would like to know how the dogs cope (and humans) and how well they travel.. (dogs! :) ) If there are any other animal transport options I would also be interested, and in any details at all that I can get re the journey. I am investigating Heathrow as the destination. Thanks.. :D

:laugh: a fellow doler lives around the corner!! Lovely Bullmastiffs....

I haven't been here for a long time. Just sharing my darling girlies.. Yacht racing!.... Fishing.. bums...

I have a couple of options..kennels etc. of which I am not keen on doing re stress on dogs.. so just putting it out there..in case. ;) I can pm my phone number if anyone has any ideas. xxx
