I think Negrita is BEAUTIFUL, if you do too, then please REPOST and SHARE!

#NationalBlackDogDay is highlighted every year to educate about how beautiful black dogs, and other animals, are.
Yet stuck in rescue for no other reason than their dark colour, it's appalling and rediculous.

So, rescue a Black Beauty today, or visit a rescue and play with one.

Let's eradicate this stigma 🖤🐾

Happy 4th Birthday to us! We thank you all for you

A huge thank you to @petsathomecraigavon, and your fab customers for this huge donation!

Miranda, with the help of @logan_and_leia, was able to collect it all today. Thanks Miranda and pups.

This will be divided between at least 3 or 4 rescues once I'm back on my feet and not feeling like a stranded heifer! 🐮

Thanks Strayers 💜🐾

We've been a little quiet the past while, apologies for that.
There's been other things going on....🏨

All on the mend now and hopefully full steam ahead again in October sometime.
Plenty of time to think of where our next donation should be to 🤔

Thanks for those of you that helped out, or offered to. It's not forgotten.
PS, never forget earphones if going to hospital......it's so noisy! 🔊

Today is International Dog Day, and celebrated the world over. 🐶
For us, every day is International Dog Day and we celebrate those that share our lives.
Fun fact, I know the names of my neighbours dogs......but not some of the neighbours 🤣
Also, if you invite me to come to a party, I will probably not come if you don't have a dog.....standard
So celebrate with us by sharing your doggy quirks, stories and pics below!

Animal Support Trust

Strayers, meet Alison, a stalwart of animal rescue in Northern Ireland and part of a dynmaic team from Animal Support Trust helping others.

This donation of toys is going to help a rescue centre in Ub, Western Serbia.

Alison, and the other trustees of Animal Support Trust, are helping the shelter there, educating the local autorities and just making it a better and more compassionate place.

So, if you donated any of these toys, they are going to Serbia very soon. I wish I was taking them personally!

Follow their page, see the great work they do, and maybe you'll see your donation being used by a little needy pup or kitten.

Thanks Strayers 💜🐾

Until next time Dobbies, thanks again 💜🐾

Statement and Appeal Good Morning. Some of you

Statement and Appeal

Good Morning.

Some of you may be aware that in the early hours of Tuesday 07th July a low-life tried to kill Negrita by throwing a laced sausage over a secure 6ft fence. As you can see from the picture, this sausage had a dangerous object secreted within it. We are only reporting this now as we did not want to impede any resulting investigation unnecessarily.

Negrita did NOT eat this thankfully as it was noticed before she was able to eat it. However, she was taken to the vets the same morning for x-rays as we wanted to be 100% confident that she did not ingest something, perhaps from the night before. However, Negrita did have a strong reaction to the anaesthetic but was fully recovered within 24 hours.

This is a Police matter and we are appealing for anyone with any information to dial 101 or anonymously via CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

It is believed that between 10pm on Tuesday 07th July and 7am on Wednesday 08th July this took place in the Caulside Park area of Antrim. If you are in the local vicinity and have any kind of information, home surveillance footage, Ring doorbell footage etc., between these times, please report it regardless of how insignificant you may feel it is. It may just be the missing piece of evidence we need to determine who the culprit was. This dangerous individual walks amongst us, in our own community, it’s frightening to even think about.

Further: A local newspaper, and councillor, has reported this event without even talking to Negrita’s owner first, or even attempting to, or at the very least asking if Negrita was OK. All their information was taken from a social media post on a personal account. Their article is not only factually and grammatically incorrect, it is also incoherent and makes some points we want to address:

1) Negrita is NOT an ‘it’. Negrita is a loved family member and SHE always will be
2) Negrita is NOT ‘normally kept’ in the garden. She is not a prisoner being ‘kept’ somewhere, she lives in the home and goes into the garden for toileting, fresh air and playtime
3) There is NO affiliation with this newspaper, councillor or his political party whatsoever and they do no

With lockdown easing we're slowly getting back to

With lockdown easing we're slowly getting back to some kind of normality!

@pfsdogs is one of our drop-off points and this is the most recent collection of toys, blankets and cash (£45.78).

A special thank you to Linda Gogarty and her collie Ben for these hand made blankets! They are very special indeed and we guarantee that they will all find a special home with a rescue animal.

Thank you everyone who donated 💜🐾

A huge thank you to the Storrie family, who are great supporters of ours, that donated their hutch, indoor cage, and other bits to PlayforStrays.

This was the home of their little brother Clover, and they wanted his things to go to a very good home after he crossed the rainbow bridge recently 🌈

We were able to donate it to a private rabbit rescuer and they're delighted to be able to give even more space to one of their rescues.

Thanks to everyone involved today, including my brother that organised a trailer to move it.
