do they have to remain in that area?

[Steve]

it would be good if they could but not that much of a big deal if they dont.

I have a few contacts in Melbourne I will ask, will let you know by Friday

[mita]

Onya. They sound like a lovely pair, used to each others company, so much easier to settle.

[Steve]

This has now become quite desperate. If we cant find anyone to take the two dogs on I will bring them here but they will have to be kept here in large dog pens rather than being able to come inside and live as part of my family inside as they are used to and Id rather not do that to them if I can avoid it.

If anyone can please help us by taking these little guys on for around 6 months it would help a lot.The owner will not be around for this one to visit them.

Julie I have a foster carer who may be able to help but we are in Brisbane. I will ask her.

[~Shepherd~]

My contacts may be able to take the female, their dog has issues with other fellas

[Guest Ams]

My foster carer can take both.

[Steve]

Thanks Ams but there are some things which are particular to this case which will make it necessary to try to keep the dogs as local to Albury as possible.

Im sorry I would have said so earlier if I had known. I didn't mean to muck you guys around and send you on a wild goose chase. The fact that we got offers from Sydney,Melbourne, Perth and Queensland is awesome and it's great to know that support is there if we need it in your neck of the woods.

For now Dallas who is also an angel and is attached to Albury Dog Rescue has accepted the dogs into her care until we can try to find someone locally in Albury / Wodonga who can take over for her.

The owner really wants the dogs to stay together too which makes it a bit more of a challenge.

The owner is pretty fragile and we're trying to do all we can to re assure her that she doesn't need to worry about her "family".The only way we will be able to give her up dates is via her Mum and Dad who live near Albury but cant help in the care of her dogs for the next 6 months so we are eager to build a relationship with them as well so no one needs to worry and the owner can get regular updates etc. to give her spirits a lift and know they will be waiting for her when she returns.

The owner cried her eyes out when I told her that you guys had offered her help and that she didn't need to feel any more concern for the care of her dogs.

So in the mean time we are still looking for a foster carer for both little dogs more locally to Albury /Wodonga.

Thank you for your offers.

I know 2 families in Albury. Will let you know Monday arvo. What are they like with cats?

[newfsie]

I could possibly help with big dogs but my guys would overwhelm such little guys and our fencing is only suitable for larger dogs..........I hope you can find someone to help

[Steve]

Looks like Dallas has been sucked in by Honey and Billy and she is now saying she will keep them with her.

Here she is with Billy.

Honey didnt want to sit still for a photo shot.

Julie

[Trisven13]

Lordy - not the greatest photo of Dallas :p but I'm not surprised she has decided they can stay with her. She is a wonderful lady.

[Steve]

Ill just post an update on these two guys. Honey is a bit croook. We have had surgery done on her as she had infected gums when she came into our care

and a lump on the back of her neck which Dallas noticed was giving her grief which turned out to be some sort of nasty abcess. Theantibiotics had shrunk it to some degree but it still needed removing and draining. Poor girl must have been in agony. Pacers pay for this out of the general fundraising account. So she has a few stitches and drainage tubes which come out tomorrow. The fact that she has been such a nice girl to be around even in this much pain is pretty spectacular. Her owner didnt know she was sick and had no clue that she would need this level of vet care. We had her booked into kennels as Dallas and her family are going away for the long week end but Dallas is a true Softy and has decided she doesn't think it's fair on her or the kennel's staff to leave her there so soon after her operation so she is going camping with Dallas!

After the long week end and when Honey is all over her operation we will need to find a new foster carer for these two as Dallas has done her bit and needs to move them onto another carer so if anyone in this area is interested in looking after Honey and Billy for a few months until their owner comes home again please put your hand up for us.

I cant speak highly enough of Dallas - she has handled all of the vet visits and the extra care she has had to give to Honey as if it was nothing.

Foster Carers across the board dont get enough attention - and Im going to have a chat with the MDBA board about doing something about that - keep watching.
