mita Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Thank you for posting this. I'll be registering & passing word around.

minxy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Would love to help, but I can't really be sure just yet that we're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm more likely to be flooded in with surrounding roads closed/cut off then be actually be flooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKat Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 At the moment the Fairfield Shelter seems to be ok, and i'm not sure if they'd be expecting people to go in to collect fosters or if they'd be trucked out so that the place the critters are going to can at least have a brief inspection. If it's the second, that's easy for me - their trucks/vehicles etc are likely to get across deeper water then my lil hyundai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Yes, I read somewhere (Facebook?) someone had been to the Fairfield Shelter & things seem OK for the moment. The RSPCA is still asking people if they'll offer to foster people's pets. Via email [email protected] I guess it'd depend on each case how to get them to a foster-carer, the pet may come direct from the owner. On the Facebook page about Pet Options, some people are offering to transport, when they can't foster. Also mentions there that a group is forming specifically to help with horses. It's worth following that Pet Options page on Facebook. Lots of information coming thro'. Like, person from Best Friends Rescue is taking items to pet owners at the evacuation centre (RNA Showgrounds) & will get an idea of what's needed. Also RSPCA messages come up there. They're asking people not to phone them with offers, to keep system open. But for people to email offers, as above. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Queensland-F...34345627?v=wall Edited January 11, 2011 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Fairfield was stating on their website that they had plans in place - last official thing from them. Now people are stating that it's going under and people need to go collect what animals they can to save them? Anyone know anything for sure?

DobieMum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The call came out on the radio this morning for anyone with dog trailers, to help with a mass evacuation and the reponce was impressive, they got them all out and rehomed in other kennels. We also had to shift another kennels, that was in trouble in the 74 floods, so they took the precaution of evacuating to another kennels. I'm impressed with Brisbane!!

The Spotted Devil Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I heard on the radio earlier that, whilst everything is fine for now, they will probably be requiring more foster carers once lost animals start being handed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
