Thanks Greymate for the welcome would have been nicer if I had made my first posts in less unfortunate circumstances...I take it your grey fancier? I am now officially converted, what a beautiful breed....and YES they are like chips you cant have just one. After a childhood/teen years with affies, they are like affies with no hair! What a yummmy yuuuuuummmmmy breed! And yes I understand about quarantine....lifetime of being brought up in the kennel Peeps, contact the org direct for queries, they honestly only have the best of intentions. If you have a suggestions or ideas, all is taken onboard. There is an explaination for everything.. this group is simply trying to help out. By entering into or trying to start online flamewars with gentle souled people defeats the whole purpose of what is being achieved. Yes the group have made a conscious decision not to retaliate beyond thier little space and block/delete in the FB portal. Yes there have been issues, but why not contact direct? Why continue with this online slaughter? At the end of the day you make it your mission to 'shut them down'', you also send a whole load of dogs to thier death. This is PURELY my PERSONAL opinon/post so feel free to strap me to the altar with dagger in hand, but I think it's all getting out of hand and a bit harsh. When I look into my greybabies eyes, I am truly thnkfull they were taken in. The new owners of adopted/spung dogs whom have now been rehomed are all of the same mindset, these guys were pulled at the eleventh hour, imagine if they hadn't. Please chillout people and stop making it a personal battle! ooh and greymate...I have to say it again...what a sumptuous elegant breed! yummm greybabies....

Hey Kissindra, as I said quote the whole thread in FULL, not add emoticons etc. You have no idea how much I have been doing in the past few months in realtion to dog resue, and in particular the last week, nor do you have any idea of who I am, my background etc. As I made it very clear you are welcome to cut and paste MY posts, but in full. I also made it clear I did not wish my posts to be taken out of context to be used as fuel for your personal discontent with being blocked on facebook for your antagonistic postings. I do not understand the hatred and lack of focus on the issue at hand. I have spent a lifetime involved with the dogworld and for me it is way of giving back. Not all dogs at the pound are parvo infected writeoffs. Pound employees DO NOT enjoy euthenasing perfectly good dogs which have been processed and discarded. I am new to all of this and have had it explained that the rescue world is no different to the dog world whereby in many cases it is an ego driven twilight zone realm. Dogs take second place to status and heirachy etc....a pack of dogs in reality, same psychology, alpha fem, alpha male, offspring etc all aiming for 'top dog'status..*rolls eyes* Again you are taking 'snippets' from facebook and turning it to your advantage in a hatefull campaign. Everyone has been openly invited to contact the group DIRECTLY. Instead you choose to cowardly attack a group you have NO idea about. Why are you not spamming other FB portals with queiries of thier methods? To me it is all begining to look like a monty python sketch in this forum.......how many dogs are you fostering this week? Money donated is one thing but hey it's the army of volunteers that make it all happen. There are more of us than you think. I shall depart by cut n pasting my final post.... peace be with you and remeber it's all for the dogs. xoxH I would also like to add...yes candlelady you may cut and paste this too if you wish, but please IN FULL. The day I decided to foster dogs I had a panic attack at 3am, messaged xxx, said i would pick them up but I was SCARED, I didn't want ...to do it, I couldn't, i knew ALLLLL about parvo, temprement problems (36yrs of dog breeding experience) would I bring disease in, would the dogs be bigger than in the photo's, would they have behavioural issues, would they fear bite, would I be stuck with the dog for 6months or longer with no rehoming options or exit caluses, would they maul my dogs, would i have to pay for injuries sustained by a poundy, would I bring parvo in as I intended taking on a new baby in the future, the next dog would be a resue dog but a puppy as I had already gone down the rspca path and ended up with a dog that was completely different in a shelter than in a home setting. If I brought parvo in, I would not be able to do that. If I wanted to take on a intensive care litter abandoned too early, I would not be able to as I wanted...so many worries. xxx said it was all fine, my choice she understood, arrangements were made to rehouse immediately. In the end when I picked up xxx and xxxxx as my first ever poundie springs, it all made sense, they wer so scared, but such lovely dogs, why are people throwing these guys away I do not know, xxxxx went on to the perfect carer and I kept xxxx on. So glad I did,I found my xxxxxxxxxx and unless the new boys end up showing parvo signs (vet said highly unlikely), I know what I can offer to xxx, and if I end up with a parvo dog at any stage in the future, I will still foster, but unvaccinated pups etc will no longer be able to be brought into this house. It's a risk, but the happiness the new owners of the foster dogs outweigh my selfish desires....freaking don't let these guys be put down, if there is a way, then go for it! Stop badmouthing xxx, they are not idiots, they have YEARS of experience, research your options (as I did) ask questions (as I did)....then put your hand up to foster...SIMPLE...it's all for the dogs..the victims in all of this! xxx Foster carers, you know what you can and need to do, chin up, lets go get em! xox HSee more 14 minutes ago · LikeUnlike.
