Flower had been stolen from her garden in January this year, her distraught owner spent months looking for her with no joy, she had almost given up hope when her friend spotted her on our rescue website, poor Flower had been stolen to order, been bred from several times and then discarded on to the streets, she was then picked up and put in to the pound she served her 7 days and was going to be put to sleep as she was not claimed, which is where we came in, as a rescue we offered her a space and was in the process of fattening her up and getting her healthy ready for re-homing when we had a very excited call from her owner, we were delighted to be able to re-unite the two.
One of the biggest lesson everyone learnt here was the importance of micro chipping, if Flower had been micro chipped we could have re-united them back alot quicker, micro chips range from £10-£25 and they are well worth it if you animal is involved in a accident, gets stolen or goes missing this little impant can be a life saver. Safe to say the lovely Flower is now micro chipped although I don’t think she will be aloud out of mum’s sight for a while.

Rescue Aid For Animals is a friendly network of volunteers who have come together to form RAFA. Our aim is to save as many unwanted and ‘at risk’ animals as possible. We are able to do this by means of fostering, homechecking, transporting, fundraising and much more. We are a valuable tool for all rescues and animals.

At the start of February we took in two rabbits, the previous owners believed that they were two girls, unfortunately this was not the case and two weeks ago Penelope gave birth to three gorgeous babies. They are still too young to sex so they still do not have names. They will not be ready for adoption for at least another month and a half but you can lodge your interest by e-mailing info@allanimalrescue.co.uk. Mum Penelope will also be looking for a new home and poor dad has not even had one person look at him and he is a lovely boy. (check out small animals for adoption).

Earlier this year we helped in the rescue of over 100 Welsh Hill Ponies. Unfortunately the market for these ponies has diminished in the recession and although these ponies were sold, the buyer decided they did not want them, which only left them to be put them to sleep. This was just a massive waste of life. A huge S.O.S call was put out and the network of rescue centres across the U.K headed by Shy Lowen horse and pony sanctuary went in to action. Everyone squeezed some in to their already packed rescue centres. We took 4 boys, they were wild, I mean we have dealt with wild ponies before but these guys had seen nothing, they had lived on mountain there whole life and the first time they came in to contact with any humans was when they were rounded up off the hills, brought down to the auction house, put in a crush, micro chipped, pass ported and some had ear tags put in, as you can imagine in there eyes we were just danger!
The boys taught us so much, however first of all they needed treatment, two of them came with chest infections due to stress and costs start to mount up when the vet has to sedate the animal before they can examine it. Then they all had to be castrated which is around £150 -£200 depending on the size of the animal. This is where Pets at home came to our rescue; they offered to pay for the castration of the horses, so that we could concentrate our funds on getting them to a re-home able state. We just would not have been able to do it without them.
Pets at home also helped us to get them to The Intelligent Horsemanship centre in Whitney, this is where the ponies all taught us a thing or to, however I shall leave that for the next instalment in our news!

Please could I ask all pet owners to keep their details up to date on their microchips? We have seen a huge increase in animals being chipped which is fantastic! However we cannot get them back to you if the details are not correct. If your pet is found straying and they cannot contact you because your details are not up to date, your animal will be kept for 7 days in a pound then it will hopefully be sent to a rescue centre to be re-homed, unfortunately rescue centres are at bursting point so you could be condemning your pet to being put to sleep.
Help us to reunite you with your pets and keep your details up to date, it is easy to do and only takes a few minutes of your time.
Thanks from everyone at All Animal Rescue.
