It used to be a requirement to have a dog licence. I think there is a case for owners to require a licence to own a dog.
Anyway, I'm very pleased that you will get to walk that lovely lady.
Why do you think that will suddenly stop cruelty Bes?
We used to just buy a licence - 7/6d I think they were.
Didn't stop cruelty when then, and it won't now.
Premises were never checked, knowledge wasn't checked, no animal welfare rules came with it, no training was given, no questions asked. Just a piece of paper.
Apologies Sweetie, Jessie looks a lovely girl, but like Meg said - sad and apprehensive eyes.

I'm sure the new owners are responsible and take good care of their new charge but a couple of things I should maybe mention.
She must be micro chipped and tagged. Our tag has has our surname and phone number but the dog's name he might respond to that if a stranger calls him is what we were told.
And she should be regularly get worm and flea medication. We use Drontal ans Frontline.
Then the annual visit to the vet for a check up and shots.
Forgive me if I have repeated things her new owners already have in hand but better getting it twice than not at all.

Is she home alone all day then, except for when you go to see her Sweetie?
So glad she's happy now. 08-12-2018, 10:40 PM

There are lots of friends to make a fuss of Jessie. The shop is next to a pet shop.
Plenty of room for her too.
I will walk her so they get their breaks.
But other friends who also lost their dog, will also help out.

Take no notice of me, I just worry about animals.
I have no pets, so I have friends pets to fuss over.
I will post on her progress.
I need to get a happy doggy pic. x

Our dog, Max, is a rescue. You probably already knew that.
On the first day we saw him at the rescue centre and walked him I would have taken him there and then. Not allowed. We had to go back and walk him several days in a row, we had a home visit to make sure we had somewhere suitable for him to live. A few weeks after we got to take him home we had another visit from the rescue centre to ensure that he was being cared for properly in his new home.
In short, WE were vetted. If all potential dog owners had to pass such tests I think there would be fewer cases of cruelty.
I know it would be difficult to police but you can report animal cruelty to the RSPCA.

SP, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your thread.
