tomorrow i start volunteer work at a local rescue place i heard about on sunday.. its run by a woman who also runs kennels cattery and stables

she takes in dogs from the council and rehomes them since the RSPCA stopped taking in dogs....

its in chaddesden and i walk by it nearly every day with fred and never knew .... if i turn to the right instead of going straight on its a few more minutes out of my way... and i can take fred with me ...

i will be taking the dogs out for walks... they get walked every day but not very far....so thats what i am there for, and anything else they want me to do... if theres any dog agressive dogs that i cant walk with fred, she said i can leave fred there quite safely and take the agressive dog out on its own, it will also do fred some good to go for walks with the friendly dogs!!

i am really looking forward to it

i'll take my camera as well.... take some piccies and get some info and maybe i can help find some babies a home

Aww well done Shell,hope it goes well.

Well done Shelley I hope you really enjoy going, how many hours you doing? is it daily?

Your going to fall in love a lot you know that don't you but it will be excellent training for Fred as well

Yes we want that will be great


Did you just go in and ask or did you know someone who told you about it?

im going to fall in love over and over again :2431: .....
there was an advert in kennelgate for 8 pups found by the council... so i was being nosey and asked about them, thats when they told me about the rescue... i went a walk up there today with fred,but it was a really long driveway and i wasnt sure if there would be animals running free so i wrote the number down and rang up when i got home ...

im not sure how often she will want me to go and help them ...but i can make myself available between 10am and 2pm weekdays and weekends if shes desperate ... its all experience and extra training for fred ...i might even get to do some temporary fostering while the OH is away on tour... he will never know

awwww thats excellent Shelley!! Hope you enjoy it hun!!

cheers jude... im hoping theres no dogs i take a fancy too..... she says theyre all mainly cross breeds and staffys... as much as i like these dogs theyre not what i 'prefer' if you kwim(dont mean that to sound horrible).... her pure breeds get passed onto someone else, so its not likely i will be seeing many GSD's lol.... :2431: .... phew....i hear my OH say!!!!

It will be great hun, especially as you can take Fred with you

dont think i would have gone if i couldnt take the fred meister with me

You wouldn't of had much time in the day to walk him would you

That sounds brilliant

Im sure it will be really beneficial for Fred I bet you will love it

thats true sange i had to put fred first

it'll be great for both me and fred karen.... mainly fred, the woman was great too, she said they will let me know what problems each dog has so that im not walking a dog agressive dog with fred, that would be carnage :2431:

cheers bren....fingers crossed all goes well

good on yer Shell

Well Done Shelley
