THE 7 BAN-<br />
DITS<br />
A couple of<br />
months ago,<br />
the RAD Animal<br />
Association<br />
took<br />
in a pregnant<br />
dog who was<br />
found with a<br />
broken chain<br />
fastened very<br />
tightly around her neck. She was probably<br />
abandoned due to her condition. We think<br />
she was possibly a working sheep dog. Since<br />
we took her in, LUNA has been in good<br />
hands. She has had proper food and medical<br />
care to<br />
ensure her<br />
babies would<br />
be born<br />
healthy, happy<br />
and well<br />
adjusted so<br />
they have the<br />
best chance<br />
possible to<br />
be adopted.<br />
LUNA has<br />
now had 7<br />
puppies (5<br />
males and<br />
2 females).<br />
All of them<br />
are healthy and beautiful, tan coloured with<br />
masked faces (hence the nick name the 7<br />
Bandits). The type of breed is uncertain,<br />
since it is unknown who she mated with, but<br />
as they develop we will know more of their<br />
characteristics. Although just a few weeks<br />
old, they have a good and gentle temperament,<br />
are used to human contact as well as<br />
other dogs and cats. All the puppies will be<br />
available for adoption in 4-6 weeks time.<br />
Please someone out there adopt these adorable<br />
little ‘bandits’. Contact us for more photos,<br />
a viewing and to reserve your puppy. We<br />
will ensure they will have all their jabs and<br />
passports and will be ready to take home.<br />
CHARLIE’S<br />
STORY:<br />
Everyone<br />
likes a happy<br />
ending. Charlie<br />
was rescued<br />
at only<br />
1 or 2 days<br />
old. He was<br />
heartlessly<br />
thrown away<br />
in a trash can<br />
in a plastic<br />
garbage bag<br />
with his other<br />
brothers and<br />
sisters, none<br />
of whom<br />
survived.<br />
We fostered<br />
him for 12<br />
days until his<br />
eyes opened,<br />
feeding him<br />
every two<br />
hours and giving him all the attention he<br />
needed to survive. When he opened his eyes,<br />
we found him a ‘cat mother’ who adopted<br />
him into her litter of 4 kittens. LULU the<br />
mama cat was amazing. She immediately<br />
took to him without incident. She cleaned<br />
him and nursed him and cared for him like<br />
he was her own. He deserved to know that<br />
not all people are bad and he got his wish.<br />
He has now been adopted into his ‘forever<br />
home’. We would like to say a special thank<br />
you to Anne, for not only adopting him, but<br />
for her tireless effort and commitment to<br />
helping abandoned and abused animals.<br />
If anyone out there has left over building<br />
materials (wood pieces, fencing, concrete<br />
blocks, bricks, old sheds, etc.) to donate to<br />
the RAD Animal Association, it would be<br />
greatly appreciated. Materials will be used to<br />
build and improve the cat house and expand<br />
the dog areas. Please contact us if you can<br />
help.<br />
