BUDDY "THE AGILITY CHAMP"

Published on Monday, 18 January 2016 13:32

Special Story about a very special dog (BUDDY)! Buddy (aka Gulliver) was re-homed in March 2008. He was rescued from the Pound as a juvenile pup. His adopter, Lorraine, has trained and competed with Buddy in Agility Competitions over the years. He has represented Northern Ireland 4 times at Crufts in the Inter-regional obedience team event!

This recent photo of Buddy jumping was taken by Simon Rodgers at his most recent competition. Lorraine sent us this latest news about Buddy -- "I'm so proud of my Buddy boy! We both have been selected to represent Northern Ireland Team in the World Agility Open in May 2016 in the 525 height! A special thanks to those who have believed in us and encouraged us over the last few months Laura McAleese and Ronnie, and of course to Curt Mullan for teaching us his moves!"

When I asked Lorraine is there is anything else she wanted to add about the "agility star" she stated: "The only other thing is what a wonderful best friend he is!" Lorraine sent the photo of Buddy resting after a long walk -- well done to Buddy and his wonderful owner, Lorraine.

THE MSPCA CELEBRATES THEIR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
 
The MSPCA has reached a milestone (10 years of success) in helping unwanted, neglected or abandoned animals. The Emyvale shelter opened in 2005 and has expanded and made many improvements over the years. While our work does come with many ups and downs (sometimes tears and heartache); the greatest joy is the happiness we see when our shelter animals find a suitable and loving home. The caring adopters who have chosen to "rescue" one of our companion animals are the ones we applaud. THANK YOU all for adopting our shelter dogs/puppies & cats/kittens and for spreading the word about how great it is to rescue your family pet from a shelter!
 
We would like to personally thank all our past and present wonderful volunteers for their dedication, compassion, hard work and desire to assist the animals and our team. From our dog walkers, to our fantastic photographers & graphic designers who also provide our wonderful informational leaflets etc. and to every one of you that come along and help out at our fundraisers - a HUGE THANK YOU XXXX Also, to all the wonderful vets and vet nurses who provide support, treatment and care to our the animals as well as to the people in the community we refer to them - what a wonderful team to have on board -- they do a terrific job and are to be commended!!
 
Here is to many more milestones to come!!!! The MSPCA would like to take this opportunity to praise and thank all of you that have given us your on-going support and caring about the animals in our care!! Kudos to all of you who have given us donations through our fundraisers, or donating at our shelter (either monetary or with food, blankets, treats, salmon oil, toys, cat beds, etc.) 
 
The MSPCA are now teamed up with Royal Canin and are feeding all of our rescue dogs and cats Royal Canin food. While we appreciated donations of dry dog and cat food in the past, all of of pets are on the Royal Canin diet. We are still very welcome and would appreciated receiving moist dog/cat food, dog treats, toys, collars, leads, cat toys, kitty litter -- always needed.

TIMMY - DUMPED AND TIED!

Published on Wednesday, 12 August 2015 16:53

TIMMY'S STORY 12/8/15 - ACT OF CRUELTY 

Today at 10:30 am we received a phone call from a gentleman informing us he had come across a dog stuck on a gate in his field tangled in wire and he could not manage to get it freed. On arrival, we discovered this wee dog was not tangled up in wire but deliberately TIED with cable wire around his neck to the bottom of the cattle gate so tight he could not get up and was gasping for air, their was a big stick placed in front of this wee boy to camouflage him. Timmy is a very lucky dog that this gentleman went back to check his cattle this morning after moving them yesterday evening and stumbled upon him. 

We are deeply appalled that someone would do this to a helpless animal and believe this was the right thing to do?? There is absolutely no need for this to happen when there is help out there, we are here 7 days a week and always on the end of the phone if you are unable to keep your animal(s) PLEASE ring us (047)70512 and arrange for it to come into our care.
IF ANY ONE HAS ANY INFORMATION AS TO HOW THIS WEE DOG, TIMMY, ENDED UP IN THIS APPALLING SITUATION PLEASE RING US.

This isn't easy to watch but it is the reality for many dogs who end up in puppy farms. Unless they are rescued, their only way out is death, which is preferable to their life in these prisons.

Please, please make the effort to come to Belfast City Hall for just 1 hour this coming Saturday. The public rally is from 11.30am - 12.30pm. We need our elected representatives to do more to protect these animals.

EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

Details
Published on Wednesday, 21 January 2015 20:39

EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR ANIMAL WELFARE

The above scheme is in operation in Co. Monaghan since 2005 and was implemented to alert actual or potential animal welfare problems on farms, particularly from early Winter through to late Spring. Three main groups involved in the early intervention are, Monaghan SPCA, Department of Agriculture and the Irish Farmers Association and, if required, the Garda Siochana under the protection of Animals Act. We would ask the public to be vigilant and if they feel there is cause for concern to please contact the MSPCA, confidentiality is assured at all times. 
The main causes of concern at this time of the year are lack of feed and shelter or maybe an animal which has sustained an injury which is not being attended to.

THESE NEGLECTED ANIMALS NEED YOUR VOICE. SO PLEASE, IF WORRIED LIFT THE PHONE - CONTACT LORI O'NEILL ON 086-8262-956 OR SINEAD MCKENNA ON 086-8262-885. THANKS FOR CARING!
