Hi Tilley, been and signed it. My boy came from the pound. I visited for about three months when I was looking for a dog. Its a sad pitiful place , I would have taken them all home if I could
Tilly- is there anyway of clocking the amount of sigs on this site? Is there a time limit etc?
there is a scale on the right hand side. up to now it says 59 signatures! no, there is no time limit, but we want ideally 500 sigs or more, but I said to the sponsor of the petition we should just take what ever amount we have by the beginning to middle of May and present it to WBC.
I have signed the petition. I left Birkenhead many years ago. The score with the dogpound at that time was that the abandonded/discarded animals were kept there for just a few weeks, then when a queue started to form, those at the front, who had been there the longest, were euthanised.It would appear that 40 years on xxxx-all has changed. I dare not look at the pictures. I have, over the last 40 years, been forced to allow the vet, on his advice to "put to sleep", ( in my book that is kill) what had been my Best friends. Can volunteers not be found to take these poor animals for walks, give them a treat or 2. some friendly, caring ,human contact?? This has totally spoilt my day.Behind me, as I type this are the revered ashes ,in their casks of my 3 much loved companions.This has made me feel even worse.
signed the petition. my dog spent the night there a couple of years ago. my daughter was looking after her at our house while we had an easter break with our three youngest kids. she got out in the early hours to take herself to the park. luckily some people new who she was but didnt know were she lived, so she went to the pound. my dad picked her up and said hed never seen her looking so miserable.
Thing with the pound is the cash they recieve comes out of the council budget. When I got my dog I wanted to donate some money, more then they ask for, anyway I was told not to because if I did it would have to go into the Lord mayors fund. So the best way to help the pound is to donate food, toys , blankets, leads any doggie items. That atleast gives the inmates a bit more to look forward to.
