dogs' home struggle

A dog rescue service in Northam may close due to lack of funds. I offer sympathy but not money.

I would never want to euthanase a healthy dog. So act early -- do not get a dog.

To put it bluntly: with every farmer now allowed to own ten guns, euthanasia is not difficult.

For dogs which do end up in a refuge:

Government or Shire fund two weeks' stay per dog, because a refuge is a service for the public.

one week for end of life care and comfort.

a second week continuing to look for suitable new owners. New owners pay for sterilisation and microchip ID ( both are compulsory).

optional extra: if the dog's owners pay full costs, or work as refuge volunteers for four or more hours each day, then the dog may stay for another four weeks, while still looking for new owners.

Then euthanasia (government funded).

.

If a dog is on a second visit, there is one week to find its registered owner. If the owner does not claim it, the dog is euthanased.
