A thought for all dog owners

When you purchase house insurance you buy third party liability; when you buy a car, you buy insurance and legally must have third party liability.
So when you get a dog the same rules apply.
Apart from purchasing health insurance additional third party cover gives you peace of mind - if your dog bites another dog or a person or your dog is attacked by another dog or causes damage to property.
There will also be vet bills to pay for any injuries suffered.
Your pet is an important part of your family and therefore you would wish to ensure that he is properly insured for any unlikely event.
There have been so many stories in the news about dogs attacking and sadly, in some cases, killing dogs, and this is so devastating for the owners.
Hopefully the guilty owner has insurance cover but more likely than not, they will not.
It is up to you as a pet owner to ensure that you have some form of insurance.
In this current climate, pet insurance is a very prudent purchase.
It is important to bear this issue and the costs when considering becoming a pet owner; yes, it is an additional expense but if you have decided to become a pet owner then you have undertaken to look after your very important four-legged friend.
There are many specialised pet insurance companies out there
see one of our newsletters where some of these can be found along with some contact details.

THANK YOU !
To all the dear members, my friends, I want to express my humble thanks for your kindness,
thoughtfulness, generosity and good wishes on the occasion of my ninetieth birthday.
You made me feel so happy and valued.
Big, big thanks to Anne who 'let the cat out of the bag' and arranged the celebration
during the Dogs Easter Party on 7th April.
Thanks to Suzi for the most amazing cake I have ever seen or eaten,
And thank you to everyone for the bubbly and stunning flowers.
I am still reeling from the delight and sense of being so utterly spoiled by you all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Please keep supporting G.G.S.D.R.
These elite and wonderful animals need you so, so much.
More than ever before in my memory of 'rescue',
(and it has been a long, long time) the desperation and huge amount of shepherds
needing to be taken in to save them from being unwanted is absolutely heartbreaking.
We dare not even imagine what other charities are enduring..
we live in sad times it seems.
However, because of you lovely people, we are able to help many shepherds and secure safe and loving futures for them.
With sincere and immense gratitude,
Garbo xxxx

It is very very sad to hear of the passing of Paul O'Grady, a wonderful person who did immense good for the dog world, our sympathies are with his family and dogs.
We have republished the letter he wrote to us some years ago in respect and tribute to this much loved and respected person.
