I have been wondering the same thing........ hmm the cynic in me would like to say something but I won't. suffice to say Lucky is "staying with/being fostered" by a friend.

your brave and with puppies too, you'll be exhausted by the end. I've entered for the 28th only, will be there as long as the weather is reasonable.

Homes for Hounds is looking into getting their non profit status up and running. Here's hoping the paperwork they have to do for that will be educational.

Up until this year my council never bothered with permits and I have had 3 or 4 dogs for most of my 20 years here. They decided to start bothering this year and I had to get a permit for my 3 dogs. Now I am back to 2 for the first time in a long time.

excellent post Greytmate

yes bad thing happen, mistakes are made. Point is you were offered lots of advice and chose to ignore it all so mistakes were made, mistakes that could have been avoided. Now you are trying to deflect attention away from you to someone else. Same as not accepting that your failure to take on board the advice offered are the reason Ina and Lucky are now in someone else's care. But that's the naughty neighbours fault isn't it, nothing to do with you at all.

Maybe buy a proper kennel?

Reflects badly on ALL greyhounds. Wherever they have been obtained from.

and it's a labrador not some "other" DD

Being made to sleep on the very comfortable dog bed instead of the human bed.

yep, wonder what happens to those dogs that have had their places taken? Hopefully it doesn't affect them. pretty sure it will - and another one will die in its place unfortunately - and likely one that has already been temp tested and is a lovely dog, but the trainer won't hold it forever then it can all be blamed on the trainer

They didn't suit her.

it has all been suggested before and ignored.

Oh so you did think about sending Lucky to GSN, changed your tune about them. Your mistakes could have been avoided if you had bothered to listen to anyone here.

Most states have GAP or similar, some states are lucky to also have other, good rescues, operating. GSN in Vic and Friends of the Hounds in NSW have both been around for some years now. Also other, non breed specific, take in and do a good job with greyhounds. ETA I am sure I have left some groups out that are also doing a greyt job, my apologies for not knowing all the names Aus wide. There is one in WA that I can't recall the name of right now.

You have had some good advice, I can only add to make sure you get proper papers with any bull breed pup you buy. (should get proper papers with any breed) If you were to move to Victoria, or other states go the same way, and no one can predict the future, papers may be the saving of your dog's life.

Suprise suprise! What happened to the trainer you were working with? If you are not fostering or rescuing what exactly are you doing? adopting? or are pound rounds happy to send dogs to someone who clearly have no idea and is not able to manage the dogs? Where is Lucky now? Animal Aid? AWL? dumped upon another rescue? Rehomed within days? or in a kill shelter? Ina is supposed to be with another rescue and Lucky is supposed to be fostered out

My dogs hate it.

No it doesn't make sense. You are saying that you disagree with what you have been told by people here about running a responsible greyhound rescue. You don't want to follow laws and are not afraid of being sued if you don't follow best practice? You want to antagonise people who cross you? Why would you expect us to believe you can be responsible about rescue at all? Greylvr disagree's with GAP because of something on their website that she took offence too and disagrees with GSN because they were recommended to her as a good place to foster for and learn. I certainly don't have Nic.B's faith in Greylvr doing the right thing by my breed at all. I have probably not worded my post well Rebanne and perhaps there is a lot more going on that I am not aware of. I can definately see why there are major concerns from what has been posted already. No Nic.B I really hope you are right and I am wrong

I got some of this dry food the other day to try. Big fail with my dogs, they hate it. Back to Pal for them :laugh:

like the group that won't use vets that "profit" from racing greyhounds. Who cares if they treat racing greyhounds, they have breed expertise and sometimes that's what is needed to fix the dog.

Bamboo, as a long time owner of cats that have an outside cattery that they are free to come and go to as they like, let me assure you, the cats are fine. You can include sunny and shady spots, put up high areas for them to sit on etc. I used the area between the fence and kitchen, there is often a "dead" area that can easily be turned into a cattery. Add in a catflap/window and there you have it. Mine has been up for around 19 years now.

very misleading when the FB page states founded in 2011
