| Ollie a JRT x EBT, 6 months old approx |
 |
| Ollie is looking for a new home |
| This is Olli a Jack Russell x English Bull |
 |
| He has just had his leg operated on. He is approx 6 months old. |
He is good with other dogs, children of all ages but not good with cats.
Olli had his operation costing £400.00, this
was kept to a minimum by The Animal House Vets in Warwick who did the operation on his leg. He has had bone removed
from the leg and as soon as the stitches are removed will require heavy amounts of exercise to rebuild his muscle around the
leg where there is no bone to support it. He will probably limp occasionally but will live a happy, normal, pain free
life thanks to the operation done on him. We have asked members of the public and anyone who loves animals to help
pay for Olli's treatment so that we can continue to save other dogs and animals in the same situation as Olli, that desperately
need our help. If you would like to do this, please get in touch so that we can give you further details. We do
not receive any govenment funding and rely solely on donations from the public through donations, events, legacies and fundraising. Please
help us so we can help more animals like Olli.
Thank you for all the donations that have come in so far, all
the rescue workers are extremely grateful and so is Olli for your support. We still need many more to carry on our work,
so if you can help, please get in touch.
22.03.10 - Update: Olli has had a fantastic response to his
appeal and we have now covered his vet bills with the help of the generous public. A massive thank you to Dave, who
donated a wonderful large donation and of course all the other people who kindly donated money to help Olli have his operation.
(I haven't mentioned you all as I wasn't sure you wanted to be, but a massive thank you from us and Olli).
Olli has recovered really well, the stitches are all gone and he is doing a trial in his new home over the weekend.

Bella is an 8 year old Border Collie. Her owner died
not long ago and she is now starting the beginning of her new life. She is very overweight when she arrived at TARRS.
She walked with a limp on her back leg, it was investigated and may have been down to her weight.
Here at T.A.R.R.S
we feel that losing a loved one is hard to cope with at the beginning and we all need to grieve, Bella was no different
and we wanted to make her feel at ease and not to worry or be stressed now that her owner has passed away. For
the first few days in our care, she was quiet and subdued, 3 days on she was recognising us as people who love her already
and was displaying this by giving us affection, wagging her tail, rolling over for belly rubs and playing ball.
She sat perfectly for her food, offered a paw and seemed to love the presence of the chickens running free range
around her.
This was Bella's progress on her weight loss while at TARRS, She has now found
a new home and is happy again after losing her owner.
Bella's Weight Reduction Program
started on 06.04.10 when she arrived, we gave her a week to settle in before weighing her.
12.04.10 - Bella
weighed 30.9kg - her rehabilitation aim was to lose weight, have small and frequent walks and small frequent meals, being
fed Burns complete.
23.04.10 - Bella weighed 30.8kg - We were a little suprised at what little weight she had lost,
she looked brighter, healthier, fitter and running around more. We are not giving up and carrying on the diet, the vets
have donated a weight reduction food, so we are trying that.
29.04.10 - Bella weighed 29.8kg - We are pleased with
the weight loss, she is on two meals a day now, still small complete weight loss food. Being walked 3-4 times a day,
ball throwing, fast walking, small amounts of running. Looking healthier, brighter and fitter still. Very happy
with her progress.
Bella is still doing very well in her new home and we are hoping to plan another visit
soon to see how she is getting on.

One of our Special Cases - Sasha
Help us so we can help them
| A stray Lurcher found in a field too weak to move |
 |
| She was a bag of bones when I found her. She was named Sasha. |
| This is Sasha at the vets, the day she was found. |
 |
| Sasha was hospitalised immediately. |
| Sasha when she arrived. |
 |
| Her rear end was covered in faeces and urine |
This is Sasha, she was a stray Greyhound x that was found in a farmers
field near Southam, Warwickshire extremely underweight showing all of her ribs. She was in a terrible state with faeces
and urine all over her bum and bottom half of her body. She managed to walk back to the farmers shed where she was given
water and a blanket to lay on but she refused to lie down again. After collapsing in the kennels a day later, she was
rushed to the vets who gave her x-rays and blood tests. She stayed with the vets for 2 weeks, having power washes to
try keep her comfortable and keep her clean because she was slightly incontinent and trying her best to get up and move around
but all seemed very painful for her. After a few blood tests later and several x-rays of her body we discovered she
had cancerous tumours all over her lower spine and leg area. She would have been in immense pain for a long time
prior to us finding her without pain relief. She would have used all her energy and adrenalin to stand up
and walk to the farmers shed and at the kennels with us not knowing what was wrong with her and no wonder she collapsed when
she did. I think she knew she was in safe hands. We gave her peace on Friday 7th August.
We would not be able to help dogs like Sasha if donations did not keep coming in and helping us to help them. These
are the type of dogs that T.A.R.R.S helps. Sasha rests in peace now, please donate funds to help more dogs and animals
like Sasha. Please e-mail t.a.r.r.s@hotmail.co.uk for further information.
