I just had to share this story with you as I was blown off my feet last night.
We are a local independent charity that rehomes animals rescued by National RSPCA inspectors. We have over 70 cats, rabbits, rats, reptiles and guinea pigs at any one time in our care www.rspca-manchesterandsalford.org.uk
It really is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. x
I'm still trying desperately to get 'back to normal' but I've just been away for two days at the RSPCAs Animal Centre Managers Conference. It was really worthwhile and I've come away with loads of ideas and raring to go with them too!
We have just had confirmation that this Sunday's Big 'n' Butch Fun Dog Show will be running at Ordsall Park 12-3pm and that the council will be paying for all the microchipping that we do on the day. So, if you are a Salford resident why not bring along your pooch for free microchipping, enter them in the dog show and have a professional photo done of your dog too! You can't ask for a better day out.
This is probably one of the loveliest dogs we have met this year. He is called Skipper and he was in a road traffic accident and taken to the RSPCA Animal Hospital in Eccles. He is only 7-8 months old and sadly had to have his leg amputated as a result of the accident. His owners didn't want him back because of his amputation and having children. They said they couldn't manage his post-op care but there really was very little involved.
We have just 40 tickets remaining - don't miss out. To book please call 0161 882 -0680 or email rspcamcr_salford@btconnect.com
If I make it to the 7th Nov it will be a miracle, the stress is unbelievable - I hope only hope it's worth it in the end for our animals. Check out Skipper!
I've been doing stats for our quarterly newsletter and had to share with you my findings...
Top news everybody - we have half of our dogs on reserve. Woo-Hoo.
Not today! It's actually been quite a positive start to the week and I'm so chuffed to tell you that our gorgeous 1 year old kittens Gizmo and Marble have a reserve on them as do mum and daughter dogs Kia and Lucy - to go together - how fantastic is that, just so rare we find homes for a two dogs at once.
It all started Monday, stranded at home due to a bus strike.....by mid afternoon I was being recorded for BBC Radio Mcr, over the telephone, for previews for them coming to my house the next day to do a roving reporter job in my house on how many bloomin rabbits i/we have in our care as a result of an increase in rabbit abandonments. The following morning I waited, and waited some more, but they'd gone to the wrong address so we missed going out live on air and instead recorded a piece that went out at drive time, I even found the link: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p004dwdq/Manchester_Now_with_ Steve_Saul_22_09_2009/
