4th March (from Diane on Facebook)

All the pups that were recently adopted seem to be doing great in their new homes. The new owners and foster carers have been great with their updates and photos. We still have over 30 dogs at the house, so things are still busy here as usual. The past few days we have been trying to catch a small dog and her two pups that are nearby. We were told that she had other pups which were hungry, weak and just died. Unfortunately she is very scared and runs off when she sees us. We are doing our usual thing of going back each day with food.

Jessie's pups have now started to open their eyes. Mossap the little cat is doing well and is eating like he is making up for lost time. Lulu didn't go to her new home as she had trouble with her legs before the journey and we didn't think it was fair to let her travel. she appears to be doing ok so we will have to reassess whether she would be fit to go in April.

Hi everyone, I have uploaded the photos from Sundays Adoptions, which you can all see at this link:

http://www.streetdogrescue.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=8301783

From Cor Beck

Our RSDR Adoption Co-Ordinator Cor Bec, said Sunday was a success and everything ran very smoothly with all the dog owners happy.

It was raining on Sunday morning, but as the adoptions were being held at Graces place, where she has a big carport, all the dogs

came out of the transport completely dry.  Cor advised, saying that on Sunday morning, both Keith and Chris from Pet Chauffeurs showed up at the right place exactly at 10:00am as was agreed and that Keith and Chris were both very nice and helpful to everyone.

The unloading of the dogs was done each at a time, without stress for the dogs.

Keith took the dogs out of the van, whilst Reini checked the health of each of them, to see if they were okay, then would give that dog to their happy new owner who took them into the backyard garden to go to the toilet, and spend some quiet time with each new owner.

All the other owners waited inside with a cup of coffee whilst each dog was unloaded.

After the owners decided it was time to go or have another coffee inside, they left the garden where both owners & dogs socialised inside.

Everyone was nice, happy and very relaxed when they went home.

All the dogs were fine and none of them had any major stress. Duke was a bit uncomfortable, but Chewy was the real hero, not afraid of anything or anybody.  The unloading went very easy with a lot of rest around the dogs.

At 11:10 am everyone was on their way home with their dogs.

At 11:15 Cor could call Diane to let her now everything was OK and everyone was happy, the dogs included.

HOT NEWS!!!

Duke is not fostered, but was immediatly adopted by the same people who adopted Murphy and the same has happened with Bonny, who was also adopted that afternoon.

All the dogs, were very open, some were a bit insecure, but not really afraid.

Every dog was good to approach and did accept looking straight in their eyes, no turning away. Not one dog was affraid for our hands and let us touch them when we want. they all react normal to all the children and the cat, which walked around.

All the dogs were well fed........and with dogs like Bonnie, Tara, Duke and Murphy their coats were shining...so they are in good health. Only Daemon had a sore paw, which he must have injured in his cage in transport.

Our compliments for the shape you brought these dogs to as they were all healthy.

Update on Monday from Cor & Reini

We've checked with all the owners on the dogs, and they are all okay. Only Aztec has a small ear infection but was being taken to the vet to check.

From RSDR

Everyone at RSDR and all their supporters, would like thank the Adoption team for a job well done and congratulate them on a successful adoption.   Thank you to Cor, Reini, Aurore and Grace.  You have done wonders for the RSDR dogs. 

We also would like to give our best wishes to all the new owners of the dogs, and thank them also for adopting them and giving them loving new homes.  We will look forward to continual updates in the future on each of the dogs, and if you have any questions on any of them, or need any advise, please do not hesitate to send us an email.

More photos and videos will be uploaded in the coming days of the dogs with their families.

Hi everyone.  As you all know transport of our adopted dogs left last Thursday.  The first stop for the dogs was to be Koontz, who has been adopted by a lovely couple in Germany:  Deborah and Bogdan.

Koontz is a special little dog who was named after a wonderful author Dean Koontz, who donated signed books to the RSDR.

RSDR decided to honour Dean by naming the little pup they had just found after him.  Koontz was found suffering from hypothermia in the snow and was very weak and anaemic due to the amount of parasites. He would not have lasted out in the cold.  Since being found, Koontz has grown into a beautiful little dog, who loves people and loves affection and being cuddled in your lap.

Deborah and Bogdan have been excited for weeks about Koontzs arrival and have prepared everything for him for his comfort.

Photo:  Deborah with all the goods she ordered for Koontz before his arrival.

She waited for Bogdan to get home that that night before opening the parcels.

Photo:  Later that night the parcels were opened!!  with all the wonderful goodies for Koontz..

Koontz was then transported on Thursday night with Pet Chauffeurs who looked after him and all the dogs.

Koontz arrived in Germany on Saturday night.  Deborah wrote a lovely letter telling us about his arrival.

HI Anita,

Yes, Koontz arrived around 7pm. I would say the night has turned out a success.

At first Koontz was trying to run away from me and Bogdan and would refuse to walk when we had him on the leash. Nevertheless, he pottied outside before we brought him in. Then we showed... him around (carried him because he refused to move from the front door). Afterwards we gave him water and fed him. He ate immediately and right after went to sleep right by the bowl. A friend also came by and he loved her! I think she was his favorite. Anyway, after a little nap he woke in better spirits and gave each of us a little puppy kiss on the face! We couldn't believe how quickly he became affectionate! Next, Bogdan gave him atreat and Koontz ran right into the crate and refused to come out. Ultiamtely he fell asleep. We all ate and at the end of our meal, he woke up looking for us and wagging his tail! We went out on a walk again, he went potty once again, and immedeatly when he arrived he ate and went back into the crate to sleep! He now looks 100 times more comfortable and happy...but very tired too.

I will be sending the photos and video shortly. I just need to upload them.

Kind regards,

Deborah

Photos of Koontz's first Night in Germany.

At first he was very nervous and scared. He didn't want to move, particularly away from the door!

Still a bit unsure.                                                      He wanted to be near the door.

Then he ate!!                                                                      The he slept a bit.

  then relaxed a bit more.....

Later through the night he got a bit more adventurous and started to show affection.

Here is a lovely video of Koontz. with Bogdan, you can watch the video by pressing on the below link:

Everyone at RSDR would like to thank you Deborah and Bogdan for adopting Koontz, we know he has gone to lovely people and will be happy in his new home.  We look forward to future updates from you both.

UPDATE:

Koontz is now in Germany with his new owners Deborah and Bogdan.

Koontz is settling in well. He was a little unsure at first, but after a rest, he is now giving Deborah and Bogdan puppy kisses and affection. The rest of the dogs should be in Den Haag (Holland) on Sunday morning.

I will give a full update on Koontz soon, once I receive photos from Deborah.

You would have all seen on the previous website blog the packages that were being loaded in the Pet Chauffeurs Van before Transport to Bulgaria.

These packages were donations from all over holland that our adoption team had collected. Cor and Reini spent one whole Sunday driving all over Holland collecting these donations from wondeful people all over Holland.

There was also the wait for the much anticipated need of the Vet table that came from the UK from Julie and Colin Lewis, aswell as other items also donated by Julie and Colin that came with Pet Chauffeurs.

Diane and Tony have now unpacked everything. So you can see what was in those packages!!!

Diane, Tony, The Rowles Children and everyone at RSDR would like to thank you all for your wonderful donations that are so much needed. Thank you kindly, we really appreciate everything. xxxx

Here are some photos of the donations.  You can see the complete items on our website Photo Albums or on the facebook group or fanpage.

Hi Everyone

Wonderful news so far.  Our adoption Team has advised us that Cassie has also been adopted!   

The following dogs have been adopted so far - Ivy, Nutmeg, Aztec, Daemon, Koontz, Murphy, Holly and Cassie.  We also have wonderful foster carers set up for Bonny, Duke and Tara (They will stay with their carers in Holland until they are adopted).  Unfortunately Lulu has not been well, so we will wait until the last moment before deciding if she is able to go on the transport.

Pet Chauffeurs had kindly agreed to pick up item donations from Holland this past Sunday and are now on their way to RSDR to pick up the dogs.  There has been some wonderful donations from the people in Holland.  There is over 400 kg dogfood, 100 kg catfood, 2 boxes tools, 1 shopping bag of medicine, sprays against fleas, pippets, 4 shopping bags with toys, leashes, collars, foodbowls stainles steel, collar-hoods, 4 boxes dog treats, 1 jar with 300 chlorine tablets, covers and 5 large boxes and 5 big bags with blankets.   Most of the items the adoption team were able to fit into the van, with only a few items that we will have to wait for the transport next time.

Photos of Items collected

Donation from the Petstore Ranzijn in Holland who has donated the above dogfood.

Donation of food & toys from Marianne in Holland                         Donation of food, dog beds & toys from Slivka and Lonneke

All the items loaded in the transport which is now on it's way to RSDR!!

A lady in the UK has also donated a pallet of dog food to the RSDR and given this to our Joint Fundraising & Shop Co-Ordinator Julie

Lewis.  We would like to thank this wonderful lady also for her kind donation.  We hope to be able to put the dogfood into our next transport of adopted dogs in April.

Just shows you what fate brings.......I bought some tablets off ebay for Zeus, Diane and Tony's old German Shepherd dog to try and ease his arthritis. Being cheeky, and as I always do when buying for RSDR, I emailed the seller to see if they could give me some discount or reduce the postage. The lady, Sally and I exchanged a few long emails after this. She was touched by the plight of the dogs in Bulgaria and having seen the work Diane and Tony are doing (I also sent her the website link!) said that not only would she do a discount that she would pay the postage costs as her donation.

We continued to share emails and phone calls and she told me more about the work she does with another dog charity who had been offered to share a stand at this year's Crufts dog show. For those of you not familiar with Crufts, it is the worlds biggest dog show, hosted by the Kennel Club and which has been running since 1891 in the UK.

To cut a long(ish) story shorter the other charity decided that they would not attend Crufts but by this time, Sally had mentioned to Marc another deserving charity she supports, and they too had to contemplate if they could go or not????? Sally spoke again to Marc and it was thought that possibly Marc might let RSDR have the stand. For a few days, I had to wait to hear if they were going to attend....and luckily for RSDR, they couldn't rally enough troops. Sally gave Marc all our information, he then contacted me, we chatted for ages, as Marc wanted to find out more about RSDR and he had clearly been through the RSDR web site with a fine tooth comb. Yes, we were offered the stand for the day! and on the busiest day - the Sunday!!

So, on Sunday March 14th 2010, you will be able to see RSDR sharing a stand with Marc Abraham, a fantastic vet who has been on TV and who campaigns against puppy farming and animal cruelty. He supports many charities, not just in the UK but around the world and is excited about having RSDR along on the final day of the show.

You can find out more about Marc and see the link to RSDR on his blog by clicking on this link http://www.marcthevet.com/2010/02/dfs-crufts-vip-guests-line-up-announced/

If you are in the UK and can make the trip to Birmingham NEC, please come along to the stand and say Hello; it will be great to meet fellow supporters of RSDR.  We will be selling some of the items on sale in the webstore, T shirts, wristbands, greetings cards etc and my (small) team of volunteers are going to be shaking tins to try and raise funds for the cause.  We will also spend the day visiting other stands to raise awareness amongst exhibitors and suppliers taking whatever 'freebies' we can get to send on to Diane and Tony.

I am so excited about this fantastic opportunity who would have thought that RSDR would ever receive such a chance to reach so many people in just one day. Our stand is right opposite the main entrance so we're hoping to attract lots of attention - you won't be able to miss us I'm sure!

Anyone who would like to help on the day can contact me for more details by emailing julie.lewis65@yahoo.co.uk  but please, only definite offers of help please as I don't have time to sift through the maybe's.  I'm sure you can all appreciate, we have a lot of work to do from now until the big day!!

So to finish, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Sally for arranging all of this and to Marc for welcoming us to his stand. Also big thanks to Anita, RSDR's Fundraising and Media Co-ordinator for offers of help with posters etc and of course to our founders, Diane and Tony, without them RSDR would not be in existence.

15 February 2010 - Spetter has come back into foster care with the RSDR as her previous owners decided they no longer wanted her. Spetter will need a loving family that can give Spetter a lot of attention.  It would be ideal if she was homed with another dog that is quite stable, or that she becomes an only dog. She would not suit a house that has a lot of dogs. She is currently in Rotterdam (Holland) being looked after by Aurore, one of our adoption representatives who also has adopted an RSDR dog Sefa. Can anone adopt Spetter and give her a good home?

From Diane on Facebook.

Brownie is a street dog who stays near to our house.   After months we still can't get near her but she does rely on us for her food and never goes too far from where we live. This is how many of the dogs here live. Without food I doubt she would survive the Winter.

Mossap.

This little cat was brought to me in a very bad way. His tongue was hard and black and he couldn't close his mouth.he was drooling and the smell was terrible. We didnt think he would last the night but after being given electolyte solution through a syringe for days, he has now started to eat.

14 Dogs are still available for adoption.  Our next transport to Holland for the adopted dogs is on the 24th February 2010.  If you can adopt one of these dogs within the next 10 days, please contact the RSDR Holland Adoption Team on rsdr@live.nl as soon as possible so we can make arrangements.

You can view the dogs still availabe for adoption and the ones that have been reserved at this link:  http://www.streetdogrescue.com/readyforadoption.htm

We currently have 8 dogs that have been adopted so far, but we still have 14 dogs in the house that not been adopted who would like a loving home.

Dogs Available

Wiliam and Trixie  -  This pair will be adopted together as they are so devoted to each other it would be heartbreaking to separate them.  They are both medium sized dogs who are very well behaved.  Both very loving, loyal and very friendly.

Trixie and William                                                  Trixie                                                 William

Lily  -   Lily has had a hard life as a street dog, and has suffered abuse aswell as had many dog litters.  Lily however does love people and attention.  She would make someone a great pet as she loves company and always wants to be with someone.  She would suit someone who is at home all the time and who has a secure fence.  She is medium sized.

 Lily

Tristan  -  Tristan is one of the most friendliest social dogs you will ever meet.  He is also very intelligent and picks things up quickly.  He would make a lovely family pet and would be good with children.  He is absolutely beautiful with his black colouring and striking features.  He will be a bigger dog, and needs a lot of exercise, but if he has a family to play with he will get plenty.

 Tristan

Khan  -  An absolutely beautiful dog and a favourite already of all the RSDR supporters.  He even has his own fan club on facebook with quite a few members.  Khan was absoutely terrified of people and the other dogs when he first came to the RSDR.  But with time spent rehabilitating him and getting him used to people and dogs, he is now such a friendly lovely little dog who loves attention from people, and enjoys playing with some of the other dogs.

 Khan

Michael  -  Michael was not born on the streets so he has not had to learn hardship, he was born at the RSDR house and is one of Lilys 2 pups that was born at the end of October.  He is a very loving and affectionate boy, and would make anyone a lovely pet.

 Michael

Mica    -  Mica is Michaels sister.  She is one of 2 pups that was born to Lily at the end of October.  She is a loving little girl and would also make a lovely pet to any family.

 Mica

Holly  -  Holly is one of 2 pups born to Cassie.  Holly was born near the 8th November. She was abandoned along with her sister Ivy and her mum when she was just 5 weeks old.  Her mum is a karakachan (Bulgarian shepherd) mix and stands at 65cm.  It is expected that Holly will be a big girl like her mum.  She will need a home with plenty of space and someone to give her all the love and attention that she deserves. she is a happy friendly pup and a beautiful little girl.

 Holly

Heather  -  Heather is a very social friendly dog and loves other dogs and people.  She was found wandering round the town centre on her own.  She would make a fantastic family pet as she would get on well with children and other pets.

 Heather

Tara  -  Tara is one of the 3 little girls that was left in a box outside RSDR's gate. She is a lovely little girl and very sociable and would make a lovely pet for someone.  We believe Taras mother was a small Barak (a bulgarian hunting dog).

 Tara

Bonny  -  Bonny is tara's sister who was left in a box outside RSDR's gate.  She is a very friendly social dog and loves a cuddle.  Her mother was a small Barak (A Bulgarian hunting dog)

 Bonny

Willow  -  We found Willow and her three siblings running about the roads. At the time she and her siblings were terrified of people and wouldn't come to us.  She is now a friendly little girl and loves attention from people.

 Willow

Duke  -  Duke was found with his brother Murphy in the town, suffering from hypothermia and severe flea infestation.  After being with the RSDR he is now a healthy and beautiful little boy.  We expect Duke to be a medium sized dog when he is fully grown.  He is a friendly littlle guy.  He is quiet and quite happy to wait his turn before getting attention but is very loving.

  Duke

Murphy  -  Murphy was found with his brother Duke in the town, suffering from hypothermia and severe flea infestation. After being with the RSDR he is now a healthy and beautiful little boy. We expect Murphy to be a medium sized dog when he is fully grown. He is a friendly littlle guy. He and both his brother are quiet little dogs and are quite wait their turn before getting attention with the other dogs.  They are both very loving and friendly dogs.

Meet Cookie everyone. Diane had a doctors appointment today. She was supposed to have gone yesterday but because the weather is so bad she went today. On her way back she saw Cookie wandering the streets of Rudozem.  Diane named her Cookie on the very long walk back to the house.

Cookie. She is very scared any noise and she screams in terror. But she came to Diane.

We dont know if she was thrown on the streets or born somewhere near by.

Here are some photos and videos of the dogs playing in the snow. The dogs outside in the huts are still quite warm even though it is snowing. RSDR have got loads of carpet and lined the inside of all the huts. There is plenty of warm bedding and the dogs have got warm coats to wear. It is actually warmer in the huts, then in certain parts of the house.

Tristan (Indy)

Today the dogs were playing and Tristan (Indy) got bit badly on the ear and his ear was split with a 4 inch tear right through.  It was horrible as blood was squirting everywhere.  Tony managed to hold Tristan down and Diane was able to bandage his ear and stop the blood flow.  Diane was brilliant in looking after Tristan and he is now staying in the living room with Diane with him whilst he recovers.

RSDR are  now snowed in and cannot get to a vet or the vet to come there.  

This is after we managed to get Indys ear sorted out. You can see how much blood there was.

Donate for Neutering

Tristan, Ben and Oscar have just recently been neutered and are recovering well.  However RSDR do not have a lot of funds, are you able to help at all with a donation to help towards the costs of the Neutering.

Please visit the RSDR Webstore below, and Press on Neuter Donations.  http://www.freewebstore.org/RSDRWebstore/Neuter_Donations/cat218193_161502.aspx

Ben's Story:

Two men came to the house with Ben and we had to explain that we did not have any more room to take in any more dogs. They said he would be killed if we didn't take him. They took the rope off him and started to throw stones at him to scare him into the forest. They then drove off. Ben made his way down to the house where he could see us. He was drooling as he was so scared and confused. The only place we could put him was the cellar. He was quite happy to follow me down there. He is a loving and trusting boy despite how he has suffered.

Oscars Story

We were asked to take Oscar after he was found on the streets. The lady who found him was unable to keep him in her apartment. Oscar is very thin and his teeth aren't so good. He has to be fed tinned meat and soft foods. He is used to living in a house and knows how to open doors so was probably once someone's dog.

Tristans Story

Tristan was found in another town. Kerry and Tony saw a lady beating this street pup with a broom. He ran happily to Kerry and they brought him home. He is a big pup but still had all his baby teeth. We guess he was born at the end of July. He is very happy, friendly and outgoing with people and other animals. He is a very intelligent dog and took only a couple of days to learn to sit and give his paw. He will need a large garden, plenty of exercise and someone who has plenty of time to train him and play with him.
