What we have been doing

We may have been quiet on our blogs over the last month but that doesn't mean we've not been doing anything. We have been busy at two events and raised nearly £300.
We really could do with more help at events. It is fun being with a group of like minded people and if there are plenty of us we can do more but also it gives a little time to mooch around other stalls at events and enjoy them as well.
There are other ways to help as well. Please visit us on http://www.rspcanorthstaffs.co.uk/helping.html

We do our best

Last week we took a call from someone wanting to rehome their 9 month old male border collie, they were desperate as due to a divorce the young dog was being left for long periods of time while the lady was out at work. She was very upset as she loved the dog but couldn't stand the thought of leaving him all day long; he was always so pleased to see her and she felt so guilty about him being on his own. We asked if the lady would be willing to make a donation of £50 towards getting the dog rehomed. She agreed readily. We checked with the kennels and found we had room for him, and as young dogs of this type always go pretty quickly plus it was already vaccinated, we rang back the lady and said we would take it in.

 

Late on Sunday afternoon, the lady turned up at the kennels with the dog and said  she had  I found him a new home on a farm. She said, "I just wanted to give a £50 donation to the RSPCA, as the young lady at the office was so kind and helpful, whereas all the other rehoming places I tried were so rude and unhelpful!"

Dog Walk

We had a lovely day for the dog walk even though the forecast was not promising. We got all the way round without getting wet and had interesting stops along the way when various bits of history were narrated by our Guide, Ray. Numbers were not as great as we had hoped and we raised just over £50.
At the end we enjoyed the delicacies from the little cafe. A wonderful place.
Next time we will try the walk on a summer Sunday so that more people will be able to enjoy the walk.

Dog Walk
