Thank you's must go out for donations, many of whom slip through the net
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........

We want everybody to stay safe and keep your distance!

We hope you are managing to get out with your dogs.

Please - STAY SAFE - STAY WELL.......

Thank you seems a little inadequate at the moment

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

some folks.

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 splits it between Rottweilers in need

and another of her favourite pastimes.

RIN became a happy and proud beneficiary of £504.

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

DOGGO LOTTO!

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!

It is May and the 5th Game of 2020 is here!

CAN WE DREAM OF A *£5000* PRIZE FUND?

WE CAN DO IT FOLKS!

Lets try for £5K, and lets 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 2020: The fourth draw of the year with a total prize of £4364 thats up a little

lets try to keep it there folks, funds are awful short for some rescues...
The single winner of a third of the total take was ticket number 1994, C. Jones, who won £1454.66

the other two thirds went to various dog rescues.

Slight change in the prize make up from this month;

33% for the prize, 25% to the rescue of the month & 42% split between

the rescues nominated with more than thirty votes.

Such a huge amount of work in distribution for Jane.

The Named Kennel for May is:

"Caki Bravo"

C'mon Let's try to get the fund over the £5000 for the next draw of 2020!

Buy an extra ticket knowing you have helped loads of dogs,

the Prize could be £1600+ - how's that for a bonus?

GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

You can watch the draw on facebook by CLICKING HERE.

What happens is a multiple of £2 is donated, and each £2 donation has a number allocated. At the end of the month
One number is randomly picked, the winning number will receive a third of the pot,
April 2018 for instance, one third went to Rottweilers in need and the remaining third split between the dog rescues that took
more than 20 votes cast by the players. 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 UK rescues that supply help to Caki.

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)
