Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 The RSPCA have removed 56 huskies and other animals from a property in Somerset. All the Husky rescues are on standby for a major overwelming!! http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-england-somerset-15451362&h=YAQEaU1_5AQG7sSvU-YEx3nCaYg0lSSbPVAQ9QjchPYoLcA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Glad that they have removed them from that situation... Just hope they can find them all good homes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_p Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Unfortunately they are unlikely to be up for rehoming for a very long time. Until they've been to court (or the owner willingly surrenders them), the animals still technically belong to the original owner and cannot be rehomed. This happened with a GSD breeder called Dr Helen Hein. The seized dogs remained in kennels across the country for over a year. The ones I knew about then quietly disappeared when the case had been heard. The RSPCA would not allow anyone access to the dogs so they lost their social skills and at the end of the case were deemed by the RSPCA to be unhomeable.

Taiya Blue and Miko too Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Call me cynical but I wonder if this is one of the so called rescue places no it's not Dunc. We do know that the couple were interested in fostering one of the HiN dogs I transported but after seeing pics on their FB page Julie (@jules dief taz tor ) who was fosterer had her reservations which were passed on and they were deemed unsuitable fosterers/adopters. I was wary when he said he wanted him "to add to his collection" and Julie said non of the dogs looked happy in their pics. So so glad Julie passed her reservations on and now Saber is in a loving home in Scotland instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I've misunderstood: are 'the couple' that you refer to the people in Minehead who had 56 dogs taken away? If so could you PM me with a link to their FB page please! And are they members on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charley Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 So sad to have that many put into kennels What actually happened, were the dogs being mistreated/not cared for properly? Was is a puppy farm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraxxx29 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Its such ashame it takes so long to take to court and sort out paper work ect. Those poor dogs will big stuck in kennels waiting and waiting. Gosh I feel sick and very emotional now. Fingers crossed all works out and quickly. I have room for one more just need hubby to agree.

mike_p Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have attempted to contact the RSPCA. The local RSPCA shelter confirmed a couple of aspects but couldn't give me as much as I wanted, but suggested I call the central number. Meanwhile with help from someone else on this board, I've identified the people involved and I believe I now have their address and phone number. I now want to see if I can persuade the people to surrender the dogs voluntarily rather than wait for the long court process to reach it's conclusion. Once the dogs have been surrendered, then they've got a far better chance of surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
