LATEST RESCUES These two 7 month old females were handed to us by an animal shelter. We don't even know their names, only that they were reluctantly handed in by their owner because she was pregnant and couldn't cope with them and their other dog. They seem to be very nice young ladies and are available to go either separately or together. As you can see, one is apricot dilute and the other is an unusual particolour, or 'flowered' as some people like to call them.

YOGI'S TALE We were contacted to rehome an 18 month old dog from a family who run a bar/restaurant. They sent a picture of a healthy looking shar-pei and two of our volunteers went to pick him up a couple of days ago. The dog they picked up bore no resemblance to the photo and they were confronted by an emaciated, mostly bald shar-pei who smelled so bad they were torn between being sick and crying because of the sheer state the poor dog was in. Yogi could hardly walk as his front claws were so long. His owner couldn't remember the last time Yogi went to the vet, who his vet was or even the last time for a walk and used the excuse of working long hours. She wanted rid of Yogi as customers were commenting on the smell and it was a 'bad image' for the business. At least Yogi is in safe hands now and will get the treatment he so desperately needs. Photos and updates on Yogi to follow.

WARNING ABOUT THE SUGAR SUBSTITUTE XYLITOL

We recently nearly lost one of our shar-pei due to ingesting something that contained Xylitol. It is a popular sweetener everything from mints and chewing gum to toothpaste. We don't know how she came into contact with Xylitol, but luckily she was rushed to the emergency vet and the vet realized what it was quickly, saving her life. So far her treatment has cost £1000. Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs and a small amount can cause liver failure and death within 24 hours if not treated. Please be careful in both storing or discarding anything with this product as an ingredient.

They are often more sensible and less demanding than an exuberant youngster.
