Re: A dog is for Life not just for Xmas!

Apart from genuine emergencies, we neither take in nor rehome rescues from the middle of December to the middle of January. There are two reasons for this. Firstly our hardworking volunteers need a break as the work never ends. In the past two days for example, we have had 48 calls at home from people wishing to give up their dogs - and we are just one of a number of regional co-ordinators.
Secondly, we want to minimise the possibility of people either giving up or taking on a dog on a Christmas whim.
