4-7-10 - Supporting Clare Animal Rescues Helps Everyone

Yes it is the ‘dreaded’ recession word again ... everyone knows what it entails ... everyone is affected in one way or another AND that includes the country’s animals ............

With donations almost extinct over the past few months we are appealing to the people of the county to PLEASE keep us and other animal welfare groups in Co Clare to the fore of your mind when you have a euro or two to spare. We may not always answer the phone or get back to you as soon as you would like BUT it is because we are either out on calls, looking after the animals already in the rescue, accompanying animals to the vets, etc, etc. We do care, we are doing our best and we do need your help.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: - As a bonus for the county’s economic standing any money you donate to Co Clare Rescues (ie, Clare Animal Welfare, SCAR, Homeward Bound, Paw Pourri, Mandy Ellis, Armargos, Clare SPCA) goes to businesses within our own area, eg - to animal feed & bedding stores, vets, vet nurses, behaviouralists, groomers, etc not to mention the petrol & diesel, vehicle maintenance, etc that our volunteers pay for themselves ... the monies spent on all these help keep the people in Our County employed.

nb - None of the animal rescues in co clare have ‘professional paid fundraisers’, ‘cold-callers’, advertising agents, etc.

Okay that is enough begging for one day ... the day’s chores will not get done by updating the website :o)

Oh .. just one last thing you might bare in mind - We do not have time to organise fundraising events but if you do then please let us know as we would love to hear from you and would greatly assist us in continuing the work we do.

13-4-10 - Farewell To Gentle Jerry

Today we bid a very sad farewell to Jerry,

his loyalty and manners were second to none and

he was a perfect example of how

greyhounds make such great pets.

Sweet dreams Jerry, we will hold memories

of you forever in our hearts ;((

In February 09 to Clare you came an older gent who never complained

With love I would softly call your name and by my side you always remained

Everyone you met was greeted with the joy of this gentle, kind, greying boy

But no longer had you youth on your side some days your pain was too hard to hide

One morning on entering the kitchen I saw your eyes were tired and your body no energy could draw

Oh how the sight my heart did break holding back my tears the call I did make

With time for a last sit together in the sun we sat with a treat

An hour later I said farewell as your heart took its last beat

At the Bridge you are now running fast and free

How I will cherish the time you spent with me.

RIP Jerry 24-4-99 to 13-4-10

4-4-10 - Canine First Responder Course Highly Recommended

Yesterday, the 3rd of April, Sheena, our Dog Officer, completed the Canine First Responder Course which is being taught by Bev Truss of Pet Problems We would highly recommend anyone involved with dogs in any way at all to do this one day course which is the pet equivalent of human first aid, it would be of particular benefit to anyone running/working in boarding kennels, rescue, breeding, pet sitters, etc or even just a person who owns & loves their own dog. The course covers every situation from an accident at home to arriving at the scene of a dog being knocked down by a car, you will learn how to manage a blood wound, how to stabilise a broken limb, perform CPR, etc.

Needless to say even though it is based on first aid for dogs it is also applicable to cats.

So our advise to you is don’t delay ........

Go book your place on one of the Canine First Responder Courses Today

For more information and course dates, cost, venues etc
please email info@petproblems.net or phone 086 8624511
We look forward to hearing from you

31-1-10 - A Good Start To The New Year For Our Dogs & Cats

Without wishing to tempt fate we are pleased to say that so far we are having a relatively good start to 2010 in the area of dog & cat adoptions - three dogs and one cat have so far been adopted out to new homes all in our own county.

This is a first for us at this time of the year as normally ‘post-Christmas’ rehoming is nonexistent, long may it continue we say and fingers crossed that this is a good omen for the rest of the year ahead.

Now would any of you out there in Co Clare like to adopt one of our loving greyhounds to give us another ’first’ for us as the only two greyhounds we have records of adopting out in Co Clare have both been to one of our own members so we cannot really count them. Have a look at our Greys As Pets page to read more about this great breed
