Beardie Rescue
If you are a Beardie owner and you are having problems then you should contact the breeder of your Beardie who will normally be very pleased to hear from you and more than willing to help. If for any reason you are not able to do this then please contact one of our Rescue Co-ordinators. The Co-ordinators spend a lot of time giving advice and help to Beardie owners with problems and possibly needing a new home for their dog. This can pave the way for the most successful outcome, that is to say when the Beardie no longer needs re-homing.
The Rescue Co-ordinators should be your initial contacts for any aspect of rescue but in the unusual event of not being able to contact one of them then any committee member should be able to assist. Each of the co-ordinators will have a list of available homes and will also be able to assist with advice on problem dogs, unusual situations or possible re-homing cases.
New Co-ordinators are always welcome, as well as helpers and foster homes. Working with one of our experienced Co-ordinators will provide a very good insight into what rescue is all about. Anyone wishing to help in anyway in this vital and rewarding area of Beardie welfare, as a rescue co-ordinator, Beardie foster 'parent' or by making check visits to potential homes please contact the Rescue Administrator, Mrs Pat Wincott, tel. 0121 705 7004. New helpers are always needed and your kind assistance will be much appreciated. Current area co-ordinators (as at August 2011) are :-
