Adopt a pet month (Infographic)

Opt to Adopt and help save a life.

I know it's not possible to rescue every animal and change the world, but to that one pet you save there life will be changed for ever. Rescues are bursting at the seams with unwanted pets and with Christmas fast approaching need all the help we can give them. Even if you're not looking for a pet you can help out by providing any old bedding or old clothes to help keep them warm and comfortable or any old news papers  or even consider a small donation or fostering, 

And please consider an older pet who might be overlooked in favour of a puppy, Puppies are usually the first to be adopted and not all shelters are no kill.

What can an Adopted dog bring to your life.

Most animals are Spayed, Neutered, Fully Vaccinated health checked by a vet, Temperament assessed and toilet Trained.

Are you looking for:

• an exercise buddy?
• a best friend and confidant for your child?
• a dog you can train with to learn animal-assisted therapy?
• a partner in agility competitions?
• a constant companion for your favourite senior citizen?
• a fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day at work?

An adopted dog can be all these things -- and so much more!

Your local shelter is the perfect place to find dogs of every type, size, age and personality -- all waiting for a loving home. Or, if you prefer a particular breed that isn’t currently available at a shelter, go online to find a breed-specific rescue group in need of adopters like you.

For anyone interested in Animal Adoption either adopting or helping them find there forever homes I highly recommend checking out Tuesday's Tails blog hop run by Dogs N Pawz run every Tuesday.

Olga And Buster looking for forever homes.

Can anyone help these two find there forever homes please, Olga has been in rescue since 2007 almost half her life and Buster ended up in rescue after escaping from his home and ended up in the pound when his owner was found she didn't want him back.

Olga Olga is a lovely lurcher who was admitted to Freshfields in 2007.  Olga is a lovely natured dog, she is very affectionate once she gets to know and trust you.  Olga has a number of long term volunteers who take her on long walks which she really enjoys. Olga could not live with children.  Although she is a nice dog she can still be nervous in certain situations and may bite if she feels threatened.  Care would have to be taken while walking Olga as she is not good with other dogs out on a walk, but she is a very nice dog to walk on the lead in quiet places. Olga would suit a quiet home with no children.  She enjoys her walks but also loves a nice quiet comfortable place to curl up and have a sleep. Olga's Update 9/1/13: Olga is a very straight forward dog who is going to need a home who is as matter of fact as she is.  She knows what she likes and she doesn't like to deviate from her routine.  Olga's favourite pass-time is snoozing on her couch; second to that she adores her walks and as soon as she sees her lead she forgets all her worries and simply squeals with happiness! Olga sadly is no spring chicken anymore and she struggles with aches and pains in the same way as people do as they get older.  Sadly Olga doesn't like the cold weather, yet she struggles in the heat thus restrcting her summer walks to cooler times of the day.  Olga is a difficult girl to read and she doesn't always like being stroked.  Olga loves company but she is not afraid to tell people off if they have invaded her space when she wants to be left alone! Olga needs a home who will just let her get on with living her life; she is a simple girl with simple needs and a home who will give her a steady routine and plenty space would be ideal.

Buster Buster was taken to a pound after escaping from his owners' house; when the owner was found she told us she didn't want him back so now poor Buster is looking for a new home. Buster is a lovely, friendly boy who just wants a friend to keep him safe.  He is a strong dog who will need a home capable of walking him safely on a lead.  Buster was living with another dog and although they squabbled he is ok with most dogs.  Hopefully we will no more about this adoreable chap in time. Please don't overlook this handsome chap; he has been through a lot and deserves some stablility in his life.
