AN APOLOGY IS IN ORDER...

We have been unable to source a supplier that would fulfil our calendar
requirements and therefore we were unable to supply a 2021 calendar.
We are working toward remedying this for next year, when hopefully
we won’t have the ‘dread plague’ to deal with as well.  It would be nice to
 be able to put the blame on COVID entirely but that was just a contributing factor.
So, we’re dreadful sorry!.......

Also... we had a mishap with an email address

the address for sending entries into our 'in memory' page was incorrect. If you sent in a request that hasn't been acknowledged

please try again, the link has now been updated.

Some very nice folks at The Animal Rescue Auction Group

have nominated RIN for their March Auction.

A Facebook based organisation, they pick a Rescue that does not put any fit animal to sleep -

Hey, Thats us! and for March, the honour is ours!

Thank you all, the organisers at TARAG , the doners and of course - the bidders!

What a fantastic effort by everybody.

This van is alledgedly being used to steal dogs and has been spotted in various areas.

It is a Renault Master Lm35 Business model

and it was originally registered in or around the Shrewsbury/Deeside area

- not that that means much it could have changed hands several times.

It is insured, MOT'ed and Tax'ed, it is therefore registered to an address!

and we don't get to thank you personally through this medium.
Your donations, no matter how they are presented and of whatever size,
are so very much appreciated. So forgive us if we didn't single you out,
but some of you we have managed to catch........

Alfred Lord Tennyson's words seem apt;

"Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,

whispering, it will be happier".

All of us from RIN wish for you what you wish for yourselves, and

send thanks for all the help and support we have been given over the last

couple of troubling and traumatic years.

Here's to hope for the future to us all....

THANK YOU, AGAIN!

Huge thanks and Virtual Hugs also go to; Jane Powell for raising £400,

which she divided between RIN and Leukaemia UK in memory of Ann.

To Andy Bashford for £200 donation and Joanne Brookes for a most welcome £50.

Sincere thanks to you all, stay safe and stay well.

Much needed funds have been added to AGAIN by the Rottweiler Discussion group, via Lorraine Day

And we are so grateful and thankful for another £322 to go towards looking after our charges.

These regular donations are so welcome and needed. While we are on the subject of thanks and donations,

have you checked out the doggie lottery recently? Jane Whittaker is still working so hard

compiling the results and distributing the received funds. Last Month saw her collecting £3470

which gave a first prize of £1145.10 go to J Furber on ticket numbered 1186: Which of course means

twice that amount went to various rescues.

Its an easy job to buy yourself a ticket just click here for a shortcut,

and your luck might well be in for prize in excess of £1000!

*******************

NB: I have just added up what Jane has collected and donated since the inception of her brilliant idea,

which was back in September 2016. This wonderful lady is responsible for donations of very nearly

£60,000 (£59235)

for animal, (mostly dog) rescues being that much more able to look after their rescues.

I am moved to clap for her for about an hour!!!

Well Done Jane!

What I failed to mention, and in retrospect I definitely should have, is that the £60K was what was given

and didn't include the prizes. So in fact, the total that Jane has collected is nearer to

£80,000 YUP EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS!

There is a pet shop in Morecambe

on, 'Yorkshire Street', a proper named street!

Its Run by one Ray Headingly and his family. For the past five or six years they have sent regular donations to RIN

and no mean amounts, so we should very much like to thank "Wagtails Pets" of the said Yorkshire Street for all the help

and support happily given, clicking on the red text will take you to the web site. Ray sells 'just about anything for dogs, cats

and other pets'. There is also a grooming department, Wagtails Grooming,

which has been doing it's thing for over 30 years - so it must be good!

Thank you very much Ray & Tricia.

( See bottom of the page click here.. )

WOW AND WOW AGAIN!!! Nay, Thrice WOW I say! (Thats Three Times).

Thanks to the stirling efforts of Sharon & Mike

The auction was kicked off at short notice

and Sharon's chasing about, collecting,

distributing and posting in a very short period has done its job

WONDERFULLY. Well done that lady!

Thank you all so very much for your contributions,

donations and bids.

I Hate this bit, but it needs doing.

We have had many donations in memory of a great supporter of Rottweilers,

Debbie Rowell

Thank you for your thoughts for Debbie.

We will continue to honour her memory.

That Page Allen...

She's been getting all light headed and boldly going

ahead with her donations again, (sorry couldn't resist)

this time she's donated that lovely head of hair and

we got £600 for it ! Yes she's had it cut nearly to the bone...

'Hair Raising'

 

Thank you for the photo, Page!!

Thank you very much indeed for the hair!

***+***

Thank you seems a little inadequate at the moment

but we really do need to say Thank You Very much to

some folks.

Thank you to all those of you who are continuing to keep us going

with those 'oh so wonderful' monthly contributions

to the welfare of the dogs,

we still have to look after them during lockdown.

***+***

We just would simply not survive without your very generous help.

WE HAVE HAD THREE NOTEABLE DONATIONS

For which we are really most grateful,

they came from the Rottweiler Discussion group via Lorraine Day, who regularily donate much needed

and very well received monies, AGAIN for June, wonderfully generous thank you so very much!

and from David Floate of who matched a donation of the same amount from BRA

Both have donated a very hansome gift of £400, and over £200 from the Rottweiler discussion group

We thank them very much!

***+***

Our gratitude has to go out to all the NHS folk and key workers, I would like to extend it to

folk like Sue, Tammany, Joyce and all the volunteers the country - even the world - over for still caring enough

to carry on working, sometimes in isolation, looking after animals of all types, but especially dogs!

The unseen like Jane Whittaker still caring enough to continue working the Doggy Lottery, and

there are loads of people slogging away, usually un-thanked and underappreciated.

If you can spare a couple of pounds to donate to one of the charities - please do so, there is a huge need

at this time. Have a go at the doggy lottery, who knows, you might even win a few quid?

***+***

We are so very grateful to the kindest of people who are still donating via monthly contributions.

We understand completely those of you who have had to tighten your belts and cancel, but

please know, we are very very grateful for past donations and hope when this is all over you can

reinstate the really necessary and appreciated donations that we are so dependent on.

But whatever you do: -

LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER AND STAY SAFE!!

***+***

We have received a donation from the Rottweiler Discussion group via Lorrain Day, of £114.

This was part of the proceeds from a Raffle for a break in a holiday cottage, our sympathy lies with the winner

who will be unable to claim the prize for a while at least!

Update on Bella!

Another thank you to Gill, here is her update:-

BELLA! Gill has now had Bella “Fostered” for some 18 months and under her guidance Bella has developed from a frightened, scared of her own shadow and very limited activity dog, to a Rottweiler that happily steals fresh baked apple pie from the fridge! In an effort to curb these roguish nocturnal activities, her nights have been spent in the safety of her crate. And the fridge door re-enforced with a leaning chair! Other traits that have also emerged are,  a liking for cushions and their covers, these should not be on furniture but in a much more comfortable place – the floor, she also has an unfortunate taste for the toes in Gills Boots, Gill has decided leaving shoes/ boots unattended and in reach is something that no longer happens.  Oh! and she also learned how. to open her crate door – Hey Gill have you tried a padlock!!! Gill Reports:- Her wanderlust has also made a worrying comeback, disappearing became the norm for her, although she always came home.  We had to leave the house during one of her jaunts and we were really worried about doing so, but it had to be done, on our return she was sunning herself on the lawn very perturbed at not being able to get in the house! She has acres to roam, all agricultural, although there are livestock in some areas, fortunately she is still scared by them and will not approach.  This is known to the famer and he knows she will not interfere with any of his stock. She pokes about in all the hedgerows and with the recent wet spell, She was coming back caked in mud and needing a bath.  We eventually found every bolt hole in the fencing, only to find Bella has mastered jumping from a standstill over fencing – including the barbed wire.  A friend told us of one of their Rottweiler bitches that was also an escapologist, but an electric fence put paid to the ‘great escape’.  We have a fencer for the sheep, so it got deployed!  On her first encounter, the tick from the battery box seemed to remind her exactly what it was and she kept her distance, but out of earshot of the ‘click’, and she attempted a jump, but the fence made her squeal – no persuasion was needed for her to come into the house. Now we have a completely different dog, her eyes have a different look as can be seen in the photos, she comes when she is called and has really started to respond to us.  She will still flinch to an unexpected hand lift, or a newspaper page being noisily turned.  It will take a long time – if ever- for her to forget her past trauma, but she is at last enjoying her new life and she is actually a pleasure to have around. Gill has promised to keep us updated on her (Huh Hum……..)“Fostered Rottweiler”

We are also saying a very big thank you

to Eastern Counties Rottweilers.

A Large donation of over £2000 has been received for the care of our charges,

so to Keith Robinson and all the members

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

And I do apologise for the earlier mix up, inadvertently I credited the donation to South West Rotts

I had an attack of the Gremlin Virus and I probably need isolating!!

That Jane Powell has been at it again!

Apparently, at her recent Birthday, she managed - by an undisclosed method/s -

to raise Over £1000!!!

So what does a RIN volunteer do with such a princely amount? She divided it between

Leukaemia UK - in memory of Ann and in gratitude for her her own successful treatment - and Rottweilers in need.

What a great lady!

(Clicking the red text will take you to Leukaemia uk's website)

RIN became a happy and happy, and proud beneficiary of £504.

Thank you very much Jane, here's to the next Birthday!!!

DOGGO LOTTO!

WATCH OUT FOR THE PLAGIARISTS,

10% of the pot is for 'ADMIN'

And its not Jane's Lottery, she takes NOTHING!

 

APRIL LOTTO! Produced a prize fund of over £4678

Jane Whittaker Runs a licenced, and therefore legal, lottery.
It's for the benefit of rescued dogs. It even has a video'd draw!

*TRY PLAYING THE DOGGO LOTTERY!*

The Fifth Game of 2021 is here!

Be Lucky with a 2021 MAY lottery!

COULD WE DREAM OF A *£5000* PRIZE FUND AGAIN?

 

Lets try for £5K, keep nominating RIN and push a prize in RIN's direction,

so don't forget to mark it for RIN on your entry.

And the result for April 2021: The number four draw of the year was... (HUGE DRUM ROLL)

a total prize fund of £4678 !!!

WHICH ALL WENT TO RESCUES!

Funds are awful short for folk to donate to rescues, but we keep hoping!...
The prize winner for April was a gifted ticket to 'Pico's Pack rescue' with ticket number 111.

SO EVERYTHING LAST MONTH WENT TO RESCUES!

The Named Kennel for May 2021 that will be getting its 25% cut of the total is:-

Caki is still trying to pay kenneling fees from four months ago!

++++++++++

Let's Keep this fund raising going PLEASE!

Buy a ticket - or two- knowing you have helped loads of animals,

the First Prize, 25% of the total prize - how's that for a lockdown bonus?

GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

You can watch the draw on facebook by CLICKING HERE.

(only available during the draw)

What happens is a multiple of £2 is donated, and each £2 donation has a number allocated.

At the end of the month, one winning number is randomly picked and will receive 25% of the pot,
The prizes are split like this: The first (the ticket) now takes 25%, 25% goes to the rescue of the month.
The remaining 50% split between shelters and rescues getting more than 30 votes.
Don't forget to add your vote when you pays yer money!
The main monthly rescues chosen will alternate between Caki Bravo in Bosnia
and the different rescues that supply help.

The idea is to give the less well represented rescues a chance,
an even better reason to buy a few more tickets!

Lets see if we can't get RIN up there again...

It is run solely on Facebook. (search for 'The doggy lottery' on Facebook)
SO, how do you get a piece of this action then?
