Day 2 DSPCA

Day 2 in the DSPCA house! Well another rewarding day, busy busy busy. I spent the day learning the ropes with the adoption consultants; they deal with all sorts of queries from people wanting to adopt animals, speciality breeds, animal safety and the more depressing side of pet surrender ;( . This was the most shocking part of my day today. The amount of people who called through looking to surrender their pets. Some with genuine reasons like moving away and having tried so hard to find them homes with no luck to people who didn’t want to put the effort in to train their pets and wanted the easy way out. Very upsetting but we can’t take it personally and try our best to come up with alternative solutions for these people not always working. The DSPCA will take in what they can but I don’t think people understand that the DSPCA's first call is to support sick/injured/neglected and cruelty animals, as such capacity majority of the time is maxed out with no room for unwanted pets. There’s a long waiting list but do what we can when space free's up. Well onto happier items allot of pets especially cats were rehomed over the last week or so and all gone to new homes. I spoke to a girl in the morning who wanted an all black male cat which we just happened to have and straight after lunch she was up with the kids taking him home, ahhhh 'Bob' finally got a new home, or rather 'Salem' as they newly named him. Learning allot and it’s very rewarding to help people and animals find each other and to help them out. It's only two day in and ive already met some amazing and very generous people and spoke with some very ignorant selfish people, suppose that’s how the world revolves. If you’re looking to rehome and cat or dog from personal experience with Oscar it’s very rewarding, cats require an €80 donation and €135. Reason being when you get the animal it will be nutuered, microchipped, vacinated, deflead and wormed an awful lot cheaper than your local vets. And now with the new clinic you can ensure your pets follow on treatment is next to none and all profits go back into the DSPCA to help other animals in need. I have lots of pictures which im trying to load but still trying to get the hang of this blog business which Paul will help me with, will get them up ASAP if not you will find them on my Facebook. Will post again soon and will put up more details about the DSPCA. Any questions or comments feel free to leave them, thanks all for reading!!!
