There’s No Place Like Home For Weasel - The Pup Born With No Ears

weasel2.jpg

Wonderful Weasel clicked his paws three times and his wish came true with two new ears and a loving new home.

 

The staff at Dogs Trust Bridgend are delighted to announce that one of their many special residents, Weasel, has found the perfect family to love him. This beautiful Terrier- who was born with no ears- arrived at Dogs Trust having been handed in to a local police station when he was a tiny pup. Weasel is now  happily at home with his new family in Mold, Clwyd, North Wales.

Brave Weasel has undergone a series of veterinary checks over the last few months and finally had a procedure to open up his ears. He can now hear as well as any other dog which will greatly improve his quality of life..

Beverley Price, Rehoming Centre Manager commented:

“Despite his former disability and recent surgery, Weasel is a fantastic dog. He is happy, friendly and really healthy in every other way. We’re so happy that we found the perfect family to love him forever although Dogs Trust  will miss him lots!”

Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, and cares for over 15,000 dogs every year through a network of 17 rehoming centres. Dogs Trust never destroys a healthy dog in its care.

Has The Animal Welfare Bill Increased Abandonments?

 It has been reported that animal welfare charities including the RSPCA are dealing with increasing numbers of animal abandonments. In a statement released by the Self Help Group for animal owners experienced trouble with the RSPCA, it is alleged that this increase is a direct result of the newly introduced Animal Welfare Bill.

Statement

As the RSPCA flexes its muscles with the introduction of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, The Self Help Group for Farmers, Pet Owners and Others experiencing difficulties with the RSPCA (The SHG) asks what the AWA has actually achieved.

The RSPCA are claiming a massive increase in the numbers of animals handed in and abandoned.

As predicted in paragraph three of the Memorandum submitted by the SHG to the Select Committee on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

“The result of this legislation will be to reduce the number of people prepared to keep animals of any kind because they have privacy concerns and because they are not prepared to put themselves at risk of attracting the attention of the RSPCA whose unlawful activities are well documented, and who are feared by many animal keepers”

According to Anne Kasica of the SHG “Even if we take out the huge numbers of people who have been terrified into giving up Staffordshire bull terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terrier crosses who were loving family pets as a result of yet another RSPCA campaign on dangerous dogs, the RSPCA are still admitting that our predictions are correct.”
