I just wanted to give a public thank you to 2 very dedicated and really great volunteers Adz and Adam.

Not only have this couple started, managed and completed the sponsored walk to raise funds for pets in crisis situations - every week they relentlessly turn up at the local pound and click away.

Taking photos in the pound isn't an easy job. Its noisy and stressful and also heartbreaking because you want to help them all and take them all home with you - however, they keep coming back and doing it week after week - and believe me - there are so many more good homes coming forward to adopt these dogs - because they can see their pics on the site.

However, todays' great big thank you goes to them for playing a part in saving a big gentle giant's life yesterday.

Recently diagnosed with diabetes, this confused boy had been dumped. Complete with just a few days worth of his life saving drugs. So - over the Easter holidays, a hectic time in all rescue places - this boy needing proper medical care - was abandoned. The staff at the kennels were desperate to get him out - this was no place for him and he had only a few days worth of medication left.

The contacted us at the rescue to see if we could help - roties are struggling big time all over the country - but a poorly roti? what hope is there. Luckily we have a fosterer who lives many miles away - and with an urgent situation - I spent most of my Easter Sunday trying to sort out getting him a place and moved. Without a moments hesitation - Adz and Adam went back to the kennels and picked him up to move him on his way and get him into a safe place. Driving over the pennines through the snow - with a dog much bigger than they were ever used to. He was settled in a home later that night.

Without them both, and my fantastic fosterer who now has him and who understands diabetes - I dread to think what would have happened to him. Thank you to all concerned in trying to keep this lovely gentle natured giant safe and alive.

I can't tell you my thoughts about whoever put him there in the first place or what possible reasons could justify it.
Thank you

Aah well done Adz & Adam :clap:
Poor boy - glad he is safe and sound now xx

ahhh what stars they both are.:clap::thumbsup:

:blush: thanks Rain but no need, no way we were gonna see that gorgeous boy dead. I have never met such a lovely big dog. I am not used to big dogs like this i have took their picture and given them a love at the pound but never been on the other end of the lead.

Well i can say i was S******g it :o but it went ok and every now and again i ended up with a giant tougue in my ear that didn't belong to Mr Adz :o :D.

I shall be sending money of to Rain this week, i have received about £400 in donations from the sponsored walk which is a fantastic amount thank you so much. But i know there is more to come so hopefully we shall make at least the £500 mark.
When a few more people have given me their photo orders i shall get them done and sent to you.

So who fancies a street collection? :hihi: any takers to help me organise one?

Thanks guys and thank you Rain we feel useful and like we are helping in some small way without me ending up with 10 dogs although Mr Adz won't let me anyway :hihi:
xx

Where do you get your energy Adz? :? :D

Well done on the sponsored walk, and if you're doing a street collection, let me know when so I can get some sort of sponsored clothing organised for you :thumbsup:

The boy is now safe and sound in his new home - and fell asleep pretty much straight away. He was a nice family dog - who just got abandoned - like many of them. Yes he was a full blown pedigree and no he hadn't done anything wrong.

His new owner loves him to bits and I am hoping we should get some pics of him on our site soon.

Sadly there is another GORGEOUS male rottie thats been in Sheffield pound for almost a month now - sat in Kennel 2. The staff love him to bits cos he is so nice. If anyone hears of some reputable person, used to this large breed - please ask them to go and help this boy out too.
