We commend the organisations who have opened their doors to the floods of dogs who will be pouring in this week. Should you have a dog who you can no longer keep for any reason, please contact your local SPCA. There are private shelters who have raised their hands to assist and we will make a list available of credible shelters. The SPCAs and these private shelters will need your support as they brave this storm at the worst possible time of the year. Please take a bag of dog food, a blanket, sponsor a tank of fuel or many a financial contribution. Registered Dogs The PBFSA has received a number of emails requesting help with the surrender of registered dogs. We advise all owners to first make contact with the breeder they bought their dogs from and request the breeder takes the dog back. Breeders merely issuing buyers with a pedigree is not enough. You bred the dog you are responsible for it. If you cannot take the dog in, it remains your duty to do what must be done to get the dog safe. Should owners not be assisted we ask you to come back to us with your dogs breeders name and your dogs pedigree. We will still assist but we will need this information to take it further.
