mixeduppup Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Gundagai Pound is in need of bedding and coats. Gundagai is quite close to Tumut which is extremely cold in winter so the dogs really need extra warmth. The dog sizes vary but usually they are on the larger side and some working breeds and working pups as well as the occasional smaller breed. If you are able to spare a few coats or blankets here and there please send them to.. Attn: Andrew Ranger 255 Sheridan Street Gundagai NSW 2722 Thank you :) Edited August 13, 2013 by mixeduppup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrox Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 great I just bought a 80cm fleece dog coat for rescue so I will send it to them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphra Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I put your appeal up on the Animal Rescues Appeal site. They'd like to know if anyone will be washing coats/bedding. I suppose that will determine the kinds of things they'll send? Anyway, they're going to see what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keetamouse Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Andrew was a ranger here in Queanbeyan and he was great here and yes he loves the dogs, I already have 2 surrenders coming to me this weekend that were in the pound. Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I can't help out at present but if the situation is the same next winter I'd love to sew up a big batch of fleece coats for larger dogs and send them out at the beginning of winter as I collect fleece and tracksuit fabrics, as well as ribbing, from op shops throughout the year for this purpose. Our Peiradise babies have a good supply now so I'm happy to do a variety of really warm ones up for more rural and colder pounds or specific dogs in need. The same goes for any rescue group - if you ever need anything specific for an odd shaped dog or one who really feels the cold and needs a double coat or even onesies I'm happy to help, but unfortunately I am making other stuff right now as winter is kind of over for us up here in sunny QLD - 29 degrees today!

Panto Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Any chance there is anyone going through Sydney? Or possible transport legs we can connect up? We have some towels + coats from our tracksuit drive we can donate. Please PM me if I am not responding, I don't check here all that often.

huntrox Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 and from the Central Coast, I would have some towels and blankets too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 There's regular dog transport TO Sydney from out that way... if they aren't taking dogs back, maybe they would be happy to take some bedding donations? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loreley Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Not knocking this, its great and I might have a large coat I can send but why isn't council supplying coats if they are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Not knocking this, its great and I might have a large coat I can send but why isn't council supplying coats if they are needed? Because many rural pounds don't have the funds to supply above the bare essentials and coats are not considered essentials and are therefore not in the budget.

Loreley Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 That makes sense, sorry been sick and brain is quite fried from the chills at the moment. I have a couple sitting here, one big enough to fit lab or larger and a tiny one. Will post them off :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 There's regular dog transport TO Sydney from out that way... if they aren't taking dogs back, maybe they would be happy to take some bedding donations? T. That would work - not sure where in Sydney they drop off to? If it is a weekday pickup I can make arrangements so it is either with someone or left accessible but safe for pickup.

tdierikx Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They usually do the dropoff at the McDonalds at Prestons - near the M5/M7 - on Saturdays. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrox Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi, do you know if they would use kongs at the pound for the doggies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi guys - MUP has managed to land herself in hospital with a chest infection, but has asked me to say that Kongs will be well received by the pounds out that way. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Damn - i've just given bootload of blankets to the Hanhdorf shelter here - Mind you I'm not sure how I'd get them to NSW anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
