tdierikx Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I sent in an entry the first year they ran this - wasn't selected, but that was fine too... My problem is that they donated money and gave lots of kudos to a particular "rescue" that I'm not sure I want to support. Do they still support the "rescue" that shall not be named? T.

_PL_ Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) They're still using their photo from last year so I'd have to wonder as well. edit, go to the vey last pages of the catalogue for sponsors, supporters and judges.

Loving my Oldies Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I had a look at their FB page and from that looked up the website of an organisation called Starfish Animal Resue in Baulkham Hills. Under "Our Partners" are all USA centres. I was trying to find out who started/runs the organisation Anyone know anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimax Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I had a look at their FB page and from that looked up the website of an organisation called Starfish Animal Resue in Baulkham Hills. Under "Our Partners" are all USA centres. I was trying to find out who started/runs the organisation Anyone know anything about them? There is an American one and an Aussie one by the looks of it, and thats the website for the American one. The Aussie one has a fb page that says "rescuing as many neglected animals as I can without going to prison for assault" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yep there's an Aussie one, small private rescue. You could find the link via Renbury probably, they do rescue from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptic Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Spoke with the person from Starfish Animal Rescue at Baulkham Hills this morning and mentioned this thread. She was a bit surprised that they have been mentioned as they have no connection with this organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think it was just a tangent cryptic. :) I should have said they aren't connected in my post re Starfish but didn't want to speak for her and am pretty sure it wasn't meant like that.

Loving my Oldies Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Spoke with the person from Starfish Animal Rescue at Baulkham Hills this morning and mentioned this thread. She was a bit surprised that they have been mentioned as they have no connection with this organisation. They don't have to have anything to do with the organisation :) . I was just scrolling through the photos and stories and saw this one: We first met Andi 'on line', loved her profile and arranged to meet her in person at the Starfish Animal Rescue in Baulkham Hills, Sydney. We went for a beautiful walk together and it was love at first sight! Andi moved in with us that same day! She is adored by all our family and someone's loss was definitely our family's gain (especially for 84 year old Beryl, who is pictured here with Andi). It is inconceivable to think of buying a dog from a pet shop or breeder when there's little ones like Andi in shelters around the country just waiting to love and be loved. I had never heard of the Starfish Animal Rescue so I enquired about it. No agenda or mystery, just interest as I am not far from Baulkham Hills. ETA: You might like to get back to them to tell them that one of "their" dogs has been featured and it is a beautiful photograph of the dog and an elderly loving human :) Edited August 12, 2013 by Danny's Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptic Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 No problem DD was just saying that SAR is not affiliated with this organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyda62 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I don't think they are affiliated with any rescue in particular. I see it as just a "feel good", "lets build awareness of rescue dogs" feature. I have been getting regular emails and updates from them over the years and have never seen them promoting any particular rescue. Jade the ACD x featured on the page is one of mine :) :) Edited August 12, 2013 by spyda62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
