Hello! Hope all is well at allsorts. Just keeping you updated, Molly (greyhound) I homed from you is doing great!! She is at her recommended weight, has a nice shiney coat and is thriving! She has really come out of her shell, she really is fantastic!! I know I keep saying this, but you really are fantastic!! You do an amazing, rewarding job.

I hope they find lovely homes VERY soon, they are lovely dogs..well they all are!! xxx

Thank you for your reply, I am sorry if my post offended you, I must admit I had given no thought to holidaying dogs. It was only meant as a question, not an attack on your work ! which is most admirable, that is why I made my mail a private post. And although I think it is completely irrelevant, our own dog came from Allsorts. Admin reply: Hi, We are not offended, because your post was polite and you made your point, which whilst we dont agree with, we fully acknowledge that you have a right to express. We DO defend ourselves vigourously because whatever people say, criticism hurts and answering strongly reinforces our own belief in what we do. We dont want or look for praise, we just want homes for dogs. However, there IS a real and serious point to what you said, and my reply. That is the fact that leishmaniasis is NOT a restricted disease and there are passported dogs coming in and out of the country never having to be tested. The real trauma for a dog that goes on holiday and comes back bitten by a Sand Fly is that by the time the symptoms show themselves, it may be too late for them. Leishamaniasis kills dogs and kills them painfuly. If the infection is found before it develops, then the treatment is effective and painless. Late diagnosis is often too late, and the treatment is hugely expensive, very very painful for the dog and not always effective. Climate change doesnt only bring the sand fly closer to our shores, it brings them within a huge area of france where many people take their dogs on holiday.

Private post. Click to view. Admin reply: If you are concerned, then perhaps you should address your concerns to your local MP and Defra. These dogs have been notified to Defra. They are both spayed. Bringing them into the country does not break any rules, regulations or laws. They are also NOT imported by us. We do not handle them, but act as a window for people of a kind end generous nature who want to give them a second chance and will pay for the medication to enable them to live a full, healthy and happy life. No secret is made of their condition and everything is legal and above board. Interestingly, perhaps a bigger concern might be the the thousands of people who take their dogs on holidays to the mediterranean region and return without ever testing their dogs for leishmaniasis. Also not a requirement under the laws of this country. Also, when asked for help, we help. We would never say no to a request for help knowing that our refusal would have meant a painful and untimely and unnecesaary death for two dogs. Situations like this are why dog rescues exist. We try to help when everyone else turns a blind eye or refuses to help. We dont like criticism, but always try to answer it politely. If you dont like what we do, then that is up to you. But ultimately our answer always ends with a question. We saved two dogs lives today and rehomed 20 in the last 4 weeks, how many have you saved ?

Thank you so much... found a few nice snaps to get. Can imagine it would be a nightmare to have uploaded them all onto the site. You have your hands full enough with other more important things! Have downloaded the schedule for September and hope to get along.

We came to your fantastic show in May and were lucky enough to have a few wins in various classes. We kept returning to view the photos as we were hoping that there would be some nice ones of our dogs. Is there anywhere we can visit to view all the pics now that they have gone off the website as we never found the ones taken of them? Hoping to make it to the September show. So sad to hear the news about Cher - you have done so much good for so many including her. Keep your chin up and carry on the great work! Admin reply: Hello.... yes.. frustrating...sorry ! It all got too much to look at them, edit and upload into galleries.... especially when the photographer has already loaded them all in to flickr ! SO, you can view all the pics from the show at this link : http://www.flickr.com/photos/brightography/ If you have any problems, then please contact him directly. Michael Buroni on flickr, facebook or direct to his website... http://www.brightography.com/ Hope that helps !

Fantastic job to all, it involves alot of hard work & dedication. Although I rehomed a Jack Russell in Nov 08 from you & was a little disappointed with no follow up to see how things were working out, which I feel is a shame. Luckily everything has worked out amazingly.

Just wanted to say a Big Thank you , to Allsorts , we now have a lovely dog and have called him jasper , He's a lurcher saluki cross type , We have had him since the 30th June .. He settled in almost straight away and is enjoying his daily walks . He has a lovely temprement although a little shy of strangers and traffic , in time he will grow more confident . He loves his Toys and lots of fuss . I was very surprised by the speediness of Allsorts having only applied the day before and having a home visit the next day but I am soooo glad we were able to give jasper a home where he can now grow and develope and know that he will be taken good care of and given lots of love .

A few months ago we re-homed Zapper, a four and a half year old greyhound. I just wanted to check in and say what an incredible creature he is and how lucky we are. He's fitted in so well, not without a few minor mishaps, and we are so proud of him. The kids adore him and I think he's enjoying himself. He is doing very well in Greyhound training classes and enjoys doing the school run in between long naps. Each week he relaxes a bit more and becomes more fun and affectionate, we can't imagine life without him. Thank you very very much for putting us in touch with each other. All the best. Fiona Admin reply: Awwww ... you are very welcome.He is a lovely dog. Thank YOU for homing him.

Allsorts Dog Rescue work damn hard to ensure their dogs get happy, loving homes. They are cautious who they rehome a dog to. They don't spay all dogs because either they are too young or they simply can't afford it. Hundreds of dogs enter the rescue which need shelter, food, vet treatments, and if you are serious enough and responsible enough to rehome one of their dogs, without a shadow of a doubt you would get that dog spayed/neutered. It is their policy to ensure all dogs are spayed/neutered when they are old enough etc in their new homes. People like you are the people that see dogs as cash machines....under no circumstances would Allsorts Dog Rescue, or any rescue, allow the breeding of a rescue dog, don't you think the dog has been through enough ending up in a rescue? You just don't understand the effort and hard work that goes into a dog rescue, it isn't just bring in a dog and rehome it...it's way more than that. Phone bills, petrol, house visits, ensuring the dog is correctly matched with the potential new owner, vet treatments, food, shelter..the list is endless!! I want to thank you, Allsorts, for all the hard work you have put in and are still putting in to ensure safe, loving homes for these dogs and to secure their futures. Sorry for the rant!! I just get annoyed with some comments from people that simply don't get it!! Keep up the good work xxx  Admin reply: Blimey Keeley.... thanks !

Nice reply to 'emily' stupid stupid litle girl - why should a rescue centre pay to have your dog spayed? If you can't afford it then you probably can't afford to keep a dog and shouldn't be thinking of getting one. If a dog is already spayed/neutered it's a bonus but shouldn't be expected.
