The (new) Board of Directors is currently recruiting for 2 positions and we need your help!

  1. Treasurer. Our wonderful and long-serving Treasurer needs a break, so we are urgently searching for someone to take her place. She has been doing this job wonderfully for many, many years and we hate to see her go, but everyone needs a break at some point. Ideally this person would be familiar with 501(c)3 Non-Profit accounting and be bonded. If you are interested, please contact any member of the Board of Directors!
  2. Legal Representation. Again, the person filling this role has been doing it for many, many years and is ready to let someone else take over. Again, the ideal person would be licensed to practice law in more than one state, and be familiar with 501(c)3 and/or animal rescue organizations, but we’re always open to suggestions! Please contact the Board if you are interested or have any friends or relatives who might be interested.

Sending out an SOS to Beardie peeps. This older boy is in a shelter in SoCal. He needs an angel to give him a home for his senior years. He’s around 13 or so. He was a stray, so not sure. Has cataracts and some worn teeth, and typical senior stuff. BCCA will provide for all his medical care. Please contact me if you know someone who loves seniors or can foster. Thanks!”

Visited Baxter today at East Valley Shelter, Van Nys,CA. Needed is foster and forever. BCCA will cover medical expenses. Please contact Julie Sneed or Sheila. Thank you.

This dog truly looks like a purebred Beardie at a horrible LA shelter!!

This Neardie (perhaps?) broke my heart when I heard about him. He’s in a
very crowded shelter with a very limited time left..at least they put him on Petfinders. He’s in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Is there any help available for him?
Please contact Monica (twaymatcoxdotnet) for more information about this pet. As per the shelter:
This guy is very scared at the shelter. He was picked up as a stray and is looking for his onwer to rescue him.

If you would like more information, please call the shelter between 1 and 5 pm (M-F) or Noon to 4 pm on Saturday to make sure the animal is still available. Please have the animal’s ID # available when you call. Adoption fees and directions to the shelter can be found on our petfinder website (see SOLAS link).

Merry Nose Bumps

Posted on by

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas filled with Fuzzy faces, big beardie and neardie  kisses, soft nose bumps and wagging tails! Give thanks for the four-footed ones with whom you share your lives.

 

 

Let us all remember the lives we have saved — both dogs and the people who have adopted those dogs — over the years. Every rescue is 2 lives saved, and isn’t that what this season is all about?

One More Puppy Mill, Down…

Posted on by
Back in September a raid was carried out on a puppy mill in Canada resulting in 500 dogs being rescued from deplorable and horrendous conditions. Another 100 puppies have been born since the raid to those dogs that were pregnant at the time. The raid was carried out by Humane Society International and they have been working since then to spay and neuter the dogs and give them medical care at an undisclosed facility near Quebec. NINE of these dogs are Beardies.  Canadian Beardie rescue only found out about the dogs December 12th, and the facility closed on the 13th.  One of the Humane Society volunteers from the raid lives in Tampa and is driving home later this week with two of the nine rescues. These dogs are traumatized, have had no socialization and are going to require extensive rehabilitation. They are all timid.They are quite possibly fear biters – apparently their runs at the puppy mill were hosed down with pressure hoses and the dogs were hosed down in the same way – you would probably feel like biting somone if that was done to you. These dogs are between 1-3 years old, males and females. They are being treated for eye and skin problems. They will need a lot of time and patience and a lot of love. However the Beardie is a resilient breed and we would hope that these dogs could learn to overcome their fears in time and start to live their lives as they deserve.

As you can imagine the cost of fostering will be huge with vet care, grooming etc. Lisa Bottcher has kindly agreed to take donations on her website – the link for this is www.olivers-house.blogspot.com – when you donate please indicate it is for the Quebec Beardies. If you would rather mail a check, please make it payable to the BCCCF and send to the BCCCF treasurer – Peg Caldwell 956 Monte Cristo Blvd., Tierra Verde, FL, 33715. Again, please indicate that it is for the Quebec Beardies.
