Annie99 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have just received the startling news that our friends at Pet's Haven Animal Shelter have been closed down by their local council. If anyone is in a position to assist them with temporary foster care for a cat or dog please contact them immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So how do we find out officially why they have decided to take action? I dont want to either support or not support without adequate official information of what happened and why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to either support or not support without adequate official information of what happened and why Agree. There is another thread running in rescue too. It seems they were given written notice to comply with regulations about running as a shelter and they claim to have not received this written notice?

Ms James Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Too much happens behind the scenes for me to ever support PH. They act like they're constantly victimised - there's a reason why they always get audited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They act like they're constantly victimised - there's a reason why they always get audited. Victimisation by Council??? Maybe the big players in the puppy farm world are not happy with recent protests. I am sure you will agree BIG $$ (or even little business) such as council go hand in hand.

What do the puppy farmers have to fear ? they are the one's with the big council approved sheds, approved for large numbers and paying councils the $$ to operate. Conspiracy theory anyone ?

What about the times council have approved inappropriate places that were horror puppy farms? and this has what to do with PH being shut down ? It's a bit of a long stretch of the imagination, to think that the puppy farmers ( who are council approved and operating with councils blessing) would be worried about a few animal rights activists, running around with banners.

MavericksMission Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Too much happens behind the scenes for me to ever support PH. They act like they're constantly victimised - there's a reason why they always get audited. I agree, I didn't like what I saw. Maybe if she followed the codes of practice for shelters and didn't hide everything, the council & DPI wouldn't be after her..

I don't think the Council wants to deliberately shut them down....there's more to this than is being told I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangerineDream Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Interestingly, a few years ago, before Trish got the shelter started the Council removed the van that had been donated to the Ranger who was doing all of the pet rescues and stopped rescue in its tracks in the area. Wasn't long after that that PH shelter got itself going....not sure why the council does this to rescue..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Is this the same shelter who was on the TV program that did a "makeover" for her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
