A very important post from Rosie’s Trust who do such incredible work keeping owners and their pets together during ill health or older age. Please have a look at the ways in which you could help them if you are able to. Thank you.

🚨 Urgent Appeal from Rosie's Trust ❤️🐾

Rosie's Trust recently received the news that we have lost our core funding. Whilst this was unexpected and disappointing, we believe with your support, we can weather this challenge and make sure we can continue helping those people who rely on us.

Some people who aren't "pet people" might not understand. But if you know, you know. ❤️ You understand the bond between a person and their pet. You can imagine the heartache and guilt of no longer being able to exercise your dog, take your pet to the vet, or having to leave them behind during a lengthy hospital stay. You understand that, for some people, their pet is their only companion, their family and their reason to keep going. The thought of having to place them in kennels indefinitely, surrender them, or even face the possibility of unnecessary euthanasia simply because there is no support available is heart breaking.

We will continue to seek out every other funding opportunity to keep our charity going. You can support us by making a one-off or regular donation, organising a fundraiser, or even leaving a gift to Rosie's Trust in your Will - something we've never asked for before. We are also appealing to local businesses to consider choosing Rosie's Trust to fundraise for.

Every day, we support older people, those with mobility issues, people undergoing cancer treatment and those living with terminal illness by helping them keep the pets they love.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful beneficiaries, Margaret and Martin, who kindly allowed us to share their photo with their beloved dog, Holly. We've been supporting them for the past 18 months with the help of our amazing volunteer, Hazel, who is also pictured.

Thank you for believing in Rosie's Trust and helping us continue caring for people by caring for their pets. ❤️

Every year we see a large number of dogs presented to us with heat stroke as soon as the sun comes out. Heat stroke is preventable but often owners don’t’ notice the signs until it is too late.

In Northern Ireland we don’t see the sun often and when we do it’s usually very suddenly there and very suddenly much warmer than it was the day before! We can wear less clothes and cool ourselves down easily, our doggy friends cannot. They have to stay in the same fur coat and can’t choose when or where they are walked.

🐾 Be mindful. 🐾

🌅 Walk your dog early in the morning, before 8am.

🌃 Walk your dog later in the evening, after 8pm.

💦 Take them for a swim rather than a run.

🥵 Avoid hot pavement and road walks. Hot tarmac burns paws!

🚰 Have regular drink stops.

🎾 Keep the walks short and running minimal.

🥵 Signs of heat stroke. 🥵

‼️ Excessive panting.

‼️ Difficulty breathing.

‼️ Excessive drooling.

‼️ Sudden lethargy and incoordination.

‼️ Collapse.

If you think your dog has heat stroke seek veterinary advice immediately.

Two gorgeous dogs who sadly need rehomed (together). I’ve groomed them for years and they really are adorable. If you, or someone you know can offer them a loving home, please get in touch via the ad.

Could you offer Meg and Toby a home? 🏡

Through no fault of their own, this amazing pair of Cocker Spaniels are looking for a home together.

Like two sides of the same coin, they will bring so much love and lots of fun 🩷

Just one example of the amazing work my lovely friends at Vet Rehab NI do.

💜 Home visit for the inspiring Dina💜

15-year-old Dina was struggling to stand ☹️ as age and arthritis catch up with her, but her spirit remains unbreakable 😊.
A lover of the sun, Dina enjoys basking outside. With neuromuscular electric stimulation therapy, she surprised everyone by getting up unaided yesterday and moving into the living room to soak up the sun's rays. Her determination is nothing short of remarkable. Dina, we are here to support you in your journey to enjoy life fully.
Providing quality of life is a deeply rewarding experience, and it fuels our passion for what we do 💜. If you're worried about your older furry family member, reach out to us. Click below for details⬇️

The two little dogs believed to have been abandoned on Ringcreevy Road last week are in need of a foster home. Can you help?

15/03/2024

Does anyone recognise these two dogs? It is thought they may have been dumped last night on Ringcreevy Road, Comber. If you think you may know who they belong to please let me know. Both are safe.

A reminder from the lovely staff at my own vets, Glenn Veterinary Clinic.
Please always let your vet or groomer know if your dog is nervous and may bite when they are afraid.
