Martin really don't out yourself out, if you feel like ignoring me that's fine by me.

^^^ Freudian slip....'don't PUT yourself out'

btw -why are you so aggressive to some people on here?

mm what are the restrictions on dog rescues? I ask because the one I support is still rehoming, in fact did very well last week with rehomings.

I think there certainly needs to be more transparency LB , like a list of people who can carry out certain jobs, to be included in the 5pm briefing

MartinMillar

Here there no home checks being carried out so the more diligent rescues are not rehoming and public shelters are all shut

Aunt polly why are you trying to start an argument on this thread why not start another thread if you want to discuss this further

The rehoming charity I got Sammi from stopped rehoming immediately. A lot of their dogs that were in kennels were put in foster. Of the 2 local rehoming charities one has closed and the other looks like business as usual. I see nothing regarding Covid.

Thank you mm, when you say 'here"??
My Rescue is in Surrey and these are the guidelines in my link. I'm really pleased for the dogs that they are managing to do it.

//COVID 19 : Rescueremedies (and Staffierescue and Terrierrescue) follow strict measures to ensure the Health & Safety of their volunteers, kennel staff and essential contact with fosterers and homers. Our processes are internet and telephone involved. Our homing team and admin. work from their homes. We use street view, videos, photos and vet checks instead of home checks. Once matched, you are focused on an essential walk to meet and assess the identified dog. Social distancing is enforced.\\

Our Rescue provides an essential societal service for homeless dogs. This need is acute as COVID 19 rampages our population. We remain active homing and fostering our dogs which enable us to help other dogs in dire need. Only apply if serious, open, not too prescriptive, are safety conscious and willing to travel for the essential homing meet (and also prepared to return our dog if it doesn’t work out). Only complete the homing questionnaire if ready NOW

I take back what I said about one shelter being open...they are not. I think some find ways to adopt out animals without face to face meetings such as home visits.

Oh I wish mine would. I do my dogs Anal glands myself, saw a demo on utube, very easy.

"The rehoming charity I got Sammi from stopped rehoming immediately" you got him after the lockdown though didn't you?

No visits just videos sent. The yard is considered the same as gyms and parks here. Not essential and the horses are being cared for. Lockdown is being followed to the letter here. This weekend being a 4 day holiday you are not allowed to leave your council area of residence Thursday evening to Monday evening. We also never had any panic buying or supermarkets running out of anything and a strict 10 allowed in then one in one out from the start of lockdown on March 13. All beaches and parks are also closed.
