KC needs
your help! KC is
a delightful staffy X pup that came into care
with a bad case of Demodectic Mange. This is caused by an
overpopulation of a naturally occurring mite that is found on all
dogs. If, however, conditions change to upset the natural
equilibrium
(such as some kind of suppression of the dog's immune system), the
Demodex mites may "gain the upper hand." The mites proliferate and can
cause the serious, but not contagious, skin disease - Demodectic Mange
This condition can be treated, though it does take some time to return the skin back to a normal, healthy condition. KC has been in care for a few months and has been under the careful guidance of the vet to assist her back to health. This has been expensive with not only return visits to the vet, but also ongoing medications, skin washes and premium quality dog food suitable for sensitive skin. |

| Finding
your Perfect
Match! To assist you to find a dog most suited to your situation, ARF has introduced the Perfect Match system. We encourage you to read the information currently linked here and make enquiries for dogs which best “match” your family. We aim to “match” you with the most suitable dog for you and your lifestyle. To make this easier, we will group the dogs into three colour categories : – GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE. A description of each of these categories appears here Please remember this rating will be the first step in finding your perfect match. Our foster carers will still speak with you and ask you many questions to ensure your home is the right fit for the dog you enquire about. |

| Quote
of the Week: "Training doesn't limit a dog. Training frees a dog. My dog, being trained, is free - free to walk with me, free to ride with me, free to play off-leash with other dogs, free to learn and run. An untrained dog is ‘free’ to sit in the backyard where he can get into as little trouble as possible." ~ Sue Ailsby

Foster carers are the "missing piece of the puzzle" between the pound and the forever home. They provide shelter, care and love for the dogs in preparation for their new homes. If this sounds like something you would like to do, fostering through ARF can provide you with the support to make it easier, safer and more affordable than doing it solo. If you, or anyone you know, are keen to help save abandoned dogs lives, please read a little about what is involved in "Foster Care" and talk to us and /or complete the form there. |
