Posted: Tue Feb 04, 14 11:52 pm Post subject: rspca tickboxing |
|
last sunday whilst out with the monthly long dog rescue walk we met a nice if slightly troubled hound(not a long dog but described as a lurcher) who has been rescued ,unsuccessfully rehomed and returned to the care of the rspca
as we were considering a new friend he was a possible candidate
so having watched his behavior, met him ,chatted with him ,and established his known history and nature from his walker we considered him
we decided to inquire further so today i rang them with a view to checking him out for behavior with me one to one for a while and taking a allergy sample with a bit of clean kitchen roll(sd is allergic to many hounds )and to see if he liked me enough to take a chance on escape from the kennel.
having filled in a rather naive form which had one and a half lines to describe any pets that i may have had many rather challenging introductions to the family and what happened to them had no consideration of home bred ,from chums ,bought ,informal rescues ,formal rescues ,wolf wrangling ,foster mutts ,farm critters etc,too soft to cull tiny and sending him off with a dowry to hillside , there was no space for being a rare snail breeder for london zoo ,frog raiser etc etc etc
i had mentioned that pups had been considered and probably decided against (cos there are plenty of mutts that need a home )which was why he might make a nice new family member ,he has no bits and at this stage im keeping all options open and checking a new rescue hound would be a better choice than finding homes for many home growns to get the new pal for ki
so even though i wanted to see if he might be suitable he had no chance of a super new home cos they have a tick list and a no sensible options based on mutt and person
i put this here cos the naughty corner is a bit less public and for what i really feel about this naughty corner aint enough publicity ,he was misplaced by tickbox but i suspect he could have been placed from me and him talking dog(i speak wolf and saluki as well)on sunday
there is no way i would spay ki so as to find out if another mutt might become family rather than find a new chum and then think about a spay later
the arrogance to and deliberate ignorance of me or how to place a mutt displayed by them has put me right off anything they do or say
i wasnt a fan of the rspca but the mutt seemed potentially suitable and now i am enemy rather than friend of the rspca which is rather sad cos we should be on the same team but we are not
no apologies for a rant tis good to share knowledge of organizations and this one does tick box rather than common ground |
