Strange

The vet should keep the dog and they should send it to the pound /shelter but this isn't always the case It has to go to the area shelter / pound where it was found because that is where the owner will look Goodluck hopefully its chipped

Good on you Steve ????

Really? The staff are blind now too? PCC 197 BORDER COLLIE MALE 2YRS and "kenny" aka mislableled dog in question Unfortunately this is the same dog but the light in both photos is different causing confusion Duke was a pure black 10yr old dog in very aged condition with the same imp number Just a very innocent accident With an upsetting result that noone can be blamed for

Just beautiful Thankyou for the updates I just love to see their happy ever after stories ????

Thankyou dogmad I think the asterix is a great idea and will definatley suggest it perhaps the asterix could be added when a dog has a rescue against it That could avoid rescue confusion and avoid any dog slipping through the cracks Thankyou Jill and black town list a DOL thread is a great asset to the animals at hawkesbury Staff at hawkesbury have no control or say about any Internet site there is more than just the two we are talking about Staff get calls from lots of different sites and answer all enquiries but are not responsible for them so if anyone has any questions regarding the animals just give us a call we are more than happy to help you because that helps us And helps the dogs and cats I

Dismissive remarks make it that much harder, can you not see that. "gossip and scandal" it isn't just gossip and scandal. The fact the pound knows of the issue and it is not a secret, then why act like you didn't know why it was stopped? Yes, pounds are busy and cannot deal with the issues going on, but pretending to not know (your quote "Talk the truth there is no DOL thread due to politics") so I say to you, talk the truth.... There has been a whole lot of stress and negativity brought on since the photo and temp issue, people didn't stop the HP DOL thread because they wanted to, they just didn't want to be associated with Pound Rounds and keep it unbiased I suggest you have a talk with the people involved and hear what they have been through due to this, that is where my sympathy lies, and with the dogs and cats that have been affected. The blame has not been put on the pound but the people who do not want to work with pound rounds in any way shape or form. As if that is a crime, as if that is unmanageable. It is relatively bloody simple, yet because this group have a self entitled movement they disrespect anyone else's opinions or rights to not want to work with them. As Blacktown List has suggested HP website is not up to date, take from that what you will (am not saying it is true or not I have no clue) but if that is the case this going to make things difficult and a lot of unnecessary calls being made. DOL was a good way to keep up with what dogs were needing help, between the pound and the volunteers it worked well. At this point it sounds like contacting the pound is the best option. This was the list of dogs I saw needed rescue by the 16th of Feb on their social networking site "HAWKESBURY POUND KILL LIST THURSDAY 16 FEBRUARY 2012 PLEASE EMAIL URGENTLY (deleted the email address) PCC 118 male JRT x cattle dog 1 yr PCC 152 female greyhound 1.5 yrs, surrendered PCC 151 female rottweiler 4yrs, desexed HCC 112 male staffy 5 months HCC 118 female JRT 5 years PCC 127 white maltese x - RESCUE ONLY Please help with donations - we need support to save these babies today." No there have since been threads up and going on HP dogs this year, did you know of the photo issue? If so who would have brought that to the pounds attention? I am guessing there has been no thread as dogs are safe, maybe you could shed some light on if there has been dogs pts (because the only way I have been able to follow any dogs from HP was on the social networking site and they are a bit dramatic and no real follow up on what happens to dogs is known - as in if any were pts etc). It was not put onto HP staff about the photo's, it was about what happened this week I only just mentioned the photo's in my last post!! I hardly know the position of HP on any of what has been going on, (one would hope it was impartial), so I am unable to say what (if any) position HP plays in this so unable to cut anything off nor speak for them. You seem to be able to do that as you work there, I don't and have no idea of the internal politics of a pound nor is it my problem. From what I see It has been said that there is a monopolisation of a pound to one group of people. That has not been said that is the pounds fault. It has been directed by Blacktown List that there was 5 issues and 3 & 4 caused issue 5 wish they would clear some things up. Wish people would start realising people are actually truly confused to what is going on and answers are hard to come by these days. EDITED TO ADD - I do know of one dog pts this year thanks to the social networking site and I am sure they took the photo of the dog off DOL and blamed them not having photo's to share from DOL that the dog was pts - talking of blame - it would actually be nice for it being stopped being put on volunteers that go and do their best to then see crap like that, just because they do not want a group profiteering from their photo's and changing temp notes What dog ? PCC1029 I can send you the lovely photo put up by Melanie Norman with her accusations of Poundlist DOL being at fault if needed. You wonder why it has gotten this bad, and you feel the need to defend HP and their staff, imagine how it feels after years of volunteering and doing a DOL thread trying to help the dogs and cats to then start getting the crap she has been writing about others - all because of not wanting to associate with her group, it would wear you down and everyone that volunteers any time to pounds and photo's etc have lives too that need time spent on it and do their bloody best to do things they way they feel is along the lines with their morals and ethics only to be repetitively get public and private attacks by a group of people who are upset over not wanting them to use the photo's and notes provided on DOL as an independent group. People give up and find other ways to help sometimes and I fear that eventually it will lead to a permanent state because people can only take so much abuse. Such a mountain over a mole hill if only they could accept the word 'no'! EDITED TO ADD - they have now copyrighted their photo's just to throw in a bit of irony for you Yet again you post like the staff at hawkesbury have something to do with these issues and you know that this is just not the truth I asked you to speak up about why the thread has been disrupted and you did Then you seem offended that I stuck up for myself( as I am staff ) and somehow think That made me responsible and one of the baddies Then . Say I don't know what people on here have gone through did you read the bit when I said nic and Kel are amongst my dearest friends ? So forgive my sarcasime but I do know very bloody well how much heart break it bought So yet again I must say the staff have not caused these problems and remain completely impartial So any information that you need about any dog ring the shelter direct to get the best up to date accurate information And avoid any confusion

This was the start of this thread It was answered by kelscats then progressed from there To be twisted and taken out of context And rather than just state the facts was allowed to carryon impliying some sort of staff involvement And problem at hawkesbury when there is none As I have said staff have no control over any social network site I am very aware and sympathetic to problems that have arisen between the two sites but do not get involved Staff just get on with it As I have repeatedly stated any enquiries about any animal can be answered by pound staff Pcc 1029 was not a rehomeable dog and staff had witnessed issues with other dogs and some people And was PTs for those reasons not because of anyone or any site or any reference from anyone other than staff experiences with the dog Nic has stated that she was always welcome at hawkesbury by staff so has Kel so that's my beef sorted As before and happy if time permittes to update ,bump,and assist a hawkesbury thread anyway possible Moody iPhones tiny keys fat fingers

What dog ?

What dog ?

No there have since been threads up and going on HP dogs this year, did you know of the photo issue? If so who would have brought that to the pounds attention?

Yes I knew about the photo issue I was told when i asked why no dol thread was up That's out of my control Yes I have a Facebook page and see other Facebook pages by many rescuers but don't comment on them as I'm busy checking my family and keeping up with what my own kids are doing There is no secret to what's going on at hawkesbury we are all head down arse up feeding cleaning caring for and rehoming dogs and cats that's it We ring rescue groups as I've said about dogs that need help And no no rehomeable dogs have been PTs But no dol thread along with the gossip and scandle has meant we have to work much harder to achieve this This is hard to put up with when we did nothing wrong Anyone that's looked at the pound rounds page can see they take their own photos and notes And as I've said anyone can look at the hawkesbury council website to see what is impounded then phone staff with any questions it's that simple just phone Perhaps use our website rather than someone else's Facebook page then you can get information direct from the shelter This is the only way to get the most up to date facts And avoid confusion

Yes true a DOL thread about the dogs was a great asset And as you stated it was because of photos that there is no thread That had nothing to do with staff so why not cut that line of thread off imeadiatly and correct them Rather than let it carryon I know you can say that's not your responsibility and true it's not but this should be an informed site I don't need to be sent the link as that has nothing to do with me Staff have to remain impartial and rightly so But a bit of fairness towards us would be good As I've said staff are more than happy to assist with information with this site just ask

Thankyou Jill I will ensure you are contacted tues ( I'm off mon) or ring on mon Anne will have no problem sending you the list We will endevour to take the best mugshots possible And are more than happy to answer any questions rescuers have regarding the dogs if they just give us a call

You dramatized kelscats exit when you said why did she get sent home What a joke Staff are not connected to or responsible for other sites But as jill said she rang hawkesbury to straighten it out The number is 0245604644 anyone can ring it for answers It's offensive that rather than say noone would post a hawkesbury thread which was the original question It has been suggested on here that staff were somehow responsible You know full well why there is no hawkesbury thread so say it Why is there no hawkesbury thread ?
