Life changing operation for Meg

Today sees little 11 month old Meg going into the vets for an operation on her rear leg in the hope that it will correct an old injury which has resulted in one side of the growth plate fusing. This means that only one side is growing forcing the leg at an angle.

She is only a baby and deserves the chance of a normal and pain free future so PPBC have agreed the initial quote of £1,800.

As always we rely on the help of our supporters to provide the care that dogs need and we are extremely grateful for every donation.

We hope that with your help after the operation and a twelve week recovery in foster she will go forward to have a happy and active life.

Betsy's life saving operation

Betsy came into the PPBC family in the summer where she was discovered to be very underweight. Her new family, despite their best efforts, could not help her to keep any food down. After a few visits to the vet a cause was discovered.

Betsy has a birth defect and it is amazing that she has made it to 4 years old considering the amount she has been able to consume. She has a restriction at the base of the eosphagus, a ring or arch that should have resolved itself naturally when she was born.

However we have been advised that a surgical procedure can help. Betsy would need her chest opened so that the restricting ring can be cut, followed by an endoscopy with a ballon to open up the eosphagus.

This operation will allow Betsy to begin to eat and drink normally and gradually become the weight that a dog her age should be. 

The prognosis is extremely good and with your help we hope to be able to give Betsy the chance at life she deserves. We simply cannot do this without the help of our wonderful supporters and would like to thank you in advance for helping us to help this lovely girl.

We often get asked to take-in ex farm dogs. These can be puppies from unwanted litters, or failed working dogs, or retired working dogs.

People often think that it’s impossible to integrate these dogs into homes after them spending their early days on farms. PPBC have had a number of ex farm dogs who have successfully transitioned from being ‘outside dogs’ to ‘inside dogs’. All they needed was a little time and patience. These dogs often have so much love to give and want nothing more than TLC in return.

Perhaps you have a secure outside space, or even a little extra time and patience to help an ex farm-dog find its forever sofa!

COVID 19 - help us, help them

Please give what to can

We are appealing for help during the Covid pandemic to cover lost revenue from fundraising which would enable us to support the Collies already in our care and be ready to assist those needing help once we are legally able to rescue and transport.

Please Help

As a foster based rescue we have a limited number of emergency kennels. This means that dogs needing immediate help frequently end up in the home of our Senior admin and charity founder.

I am hoping to raise the money for a purpose built extension where dogs, especially those that come in expecting a litter and puppies can be safely housed and looked after until they are ready to move on to their new forever homes.

I thank you kindly in advance for any donation - whatever the amount - to help towards this cause. If you can't donate, then please share this appeal to help us provide a safe space for those collies in need.
