Her Majesty Dogmad Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi everyone - i thought i'd post here because this has recently been done in the rescue forum for other pounds so we're probably all out of reserves. There is a pound in NSW nr Wagga that currently has large, medium and small dogs with temps down to -4 at night. The dogs are frozen. There are no coats and they don't have bedding although they are off the concrete floor, there is little protection from the elements. If anyone is interested in contributing any old coats or blankets they no longer want or need, I will add an address once I have spoken to the pound tomorrow and find out where to send it. All help will be appreciated by the dogs. There is a thread in the Urgent Rescue section with pics of the current dogs there in case anyone is interested in looking - there are 5 very nice natured small dogs there at the moment - 2 young Foxy & JRT cross males and 3 older Malt types in urgent need of tlc from a home of an elderly person who passed away.

rebelsquest Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 dogmad - contact Winter Appeal for Rescue Groups https://www.facebook.com/WA4AARG (Their name says Victoria, but they do all of Australia now). They often have coats people donate to them/they buy with funds they raise and then pass on to shelters or rescues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowgirl Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Count me in Dogmad! Those bubs need coats and blankets asap! I'll also be ringing the local vet tomorrow to see if we can get some Capstar tablets for the little oldies with the flea infestations and allergies too. xx Oh yes, and the Winter Appeal girls are awesome!!

TheCheekyMonster Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 how do we donate or send them stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi guys, I'm dropping into the council tomorrow to deliver the capstar and some soft food for the girl with no teeth, so I can chat to Janelle and ask where she wants the stuff sent (unless Dogmad gets a reply first :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adnil444 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi Dogmad, this is great. I have a bag of "dog stuff" - including some really good coats for a large, medium and small dog. I also have some brushes (never used), collars, leads, bowls etc that I have collected or have been given over the years. I have now gone from having 3 dogs to 1 dog in just over 4 months this year and I would like to donate these things to a rescue/pound. Once the address is given, I will parcel all the items up.

Maxiewolf Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 How Big are the Big dogs? I might have a couple of 70cm & 80cm Coats I can send. Haven't got anything smaller unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The pound can get some very large pigging type dogs in, alot of scruffers and dane crosses in these parts. So 70cm will probably come in useful at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxiewolf Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ill try to get another lot in then, they come in a bulk pack so I cant really choose what sizes I get, But I'm sure the 80cm length ones could be cut a bit shorter if needed...or even used as a blanket its about keeping warm not a fashion statement ~_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixeduppup Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I believe that both Janelle and Dennis are stoked at the response to help the pound pups and they are really grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
