MARCH
2012 - SKYE
Skye is a beautiful blue female horsecoat who is about 2 years
old. 12 months ago she was found collapsed at the side of a
busy road in a terrible state. She was 7.5 kilos underweight,
had demodectic mange, bilateral cherry eye as well as entropion
and eye/ear infections. Thankfully she was found at the roadside
by a guardian angel who has nursed her back to health. Skye is
now looking wonderful and ready to find a permanent new home.
Despite
her past neglect she has a wonderful temperament with both people
and other animals of all types. Skye has a playful, puppy like
nature, has never shown any aggression and is a happy, confident
dog inside the house. She can need a little encouragement outside
in certain situations as her eyesight is not 100% due to her past
and loud noises can unnerve her. But saying that she enjoys regular
train rides.She would be suitable for a home with other animals
and older/teenage children.
If
you feel that you could give Skye the loving, forever home she's
looking for, contact Paul Saxton

NOVEMBER
2011 - URGENT HOME NEEDED!
Poor
Captain was handed in to a vets as a stray.He is thought to be
a young adult.
As you can see from the above photos, he has very deep neck lacerations
and swelling to his throat area because of it.
The vet suspects this is because he's been tied on a rope that
has cut into his neck as it was too tight.
He also has rather bad ear and eye infections.Thankfully, he's
already on the mend and has improved in the few days
of treatment he's received in the vet's care.Fortunately it is
expected to heal well despite it's gruesome appearance.
Sadly, even with local publicity, the person responsible for his
cruel treatment and has not been found.
Despite his ordeal, Captain is still very friendly with people,
though it's not known how he is with other dogs.
This lovely boy is now looking for a loving home environment where
he can recuperate and heal.
He will need to go to the vet every few days for a few weeks to
check his neck wound is healing well,
so needs a special and dedicated new owner that will follow these
up promptly.
For more information on adopting Captain, contact Paul Saxton

THE
SPRGB IS RUN AS A TRUST AND THIS MEANS ALL THE MONEY WE RAISE GOES INTO
AN ACCOUNT SET ASIDE FOR THE DOGS ONLY AND WE HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR EVERY
PENNY EACH YEAR.
As
mentioned in our banner, we are the only independent shar-pei rescue
that is listed in the Kennel Club 'green book'. This means we have to
fulfil certain criteria to be listed. We have to show the Kennel Club
references from other rescues and veterinary  surgeries
that we have worked with to prove we are running a bona fide rescue.
We also have to have our kennels inspected and to receive local council,
police and court clearance so the three aforementioned can hand over
dogs to us.

2011 - UPDATE ON CHANG
Chang,
as you can see, is looking marvellous! He has filled
out wonderfully with lots of love and good food. His coat is
looking fabulous and thankfully the suspicious looking bare
spots proved to be nothing to worry about. They grew in
quickly once he was actually getting fed again.
We
would like to thank all the kind people who generously
donated towards his medical treatment while he was in our care.
Thanks for coming through for Chang!
We
are delighted to announce that Chang has found a
wonderful home with one of our previous adopters and he
now lives with Maggie, who is one of Paul's previous rescues
from a few years ago.
A
big thank you to his new family for opening their hearts to
another shar-pei in need. Chang is quite obviously thriving
and his life has done a complete 180 degree turn in a month!

Update
on the dog below: Chang, as he is now called, has been in our
care for over a week. He has seen the vet and had his blood
tests which have thankfully come back normal. He is now putting
weight on nicely though he is a very small male, probably due
to how he's been starved during his early life as he appears
to be a young dog. He is good with our resident dogs and is
very affectionate with people. One of his favourite shows of
affection is to hold your hand in his mouth and lick you at
the same time. He is looking for a very special home where he
will be showered with love and fed well for the rest of his
life.

2011
This
poor little mite was found abandoned in an extremely
emaciated state. You can see from the photo how his backbone
and hips are sticking through. He also has a couple of strange
lesions on his head that will need investigating.
The
dog warden has informed us that he will be handed over
to us after the statutory 7 days, which will be 31st January 2011.
His breeder has been found but do not want the dog back.
Considering the state he's in, there is little chance of any
owner stepping forward with an excuse for his physical condition
in the next three days.
So
it will be up to us to pay the emotional and financial cost
of nursing him back to health. Any donations to help with his
care will be gratefully received.
If you can help, please use the button below or contact
Paul Saxton on 0115 9191883 or E-Mail

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.
