Animal charity to hold a 'Pet-a-cular' in the Park
The Mayhew’s Hyde Bark event is a fundraiser which will be held in London’s most famous park to raise money for the homeless dogs, cats and rabbits the charity cares for. The Mayhew, in North West London, was chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the support of the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Suzie Burbridge, who will host the Hyde Park event in April.

The event near Thetford is taking place on Sunday 15 April at 9am by kind permission of the Duke and Duchess of Grafton and is to celebrate our charity helping horses for the last 85 years.

Small Pets For Younger Children
If you’re choosing a pet for the family, or for your children to care for, it’s important you make the right choice. After all, the pet you choose will be one of the first animals your child establishes a relationship with so you want the experience to be positive. Don’t be too persuaded by the pleading and begging your child will inevitably put you through! The animal has to be right, for not just your family’s sake but the pet’s, too. It’s an important decision which needs to be made with care.
The Save Bird Project
Ahemedabad holds an annual kite flying festival from the 14th to 15th January as part of local tradition. Unfortunately at this time of year many of the city's birds fall victim to the harmful glass coated or plastic threads suffering wing damage and often dying immediately due to shock. Those that survive are rescued and treated at the foundation. During the festival 3 camps are set up around the city and all 8 staff members along with volunteers are put to work saving the birds. Once transferred to the shelter the birds are numbered to indicate where they were found and set to recover in aviaries. If they manage to return to health they are released according to their number.
Ask the Vet
Q) I have a rabbit which is being castrated in the next few weeks, how long before do I need to withhold food?
A) The main reason for withholding food when undergoing surgery is to prevent vomiting and regurgitating stomach contents which could affect breathing and possibly result in chest infections and pneumonias. Also if the stomach is large this can cause its own problems. In rabbits it is not required to stop feeding them before surgery as they cannot vomit, and due to the ‘method’ by which they digest their food, it can result in gut stasis which can in turn create its own problems.
Why not hold a Blue Cross Tea Party
The Blue Cross is calling on animal lovers up and down the nation to “paws” for a few hours on Friday 11 May 2012 and hold a Blue Cross Tea Party to help sick and homeless pets (See page 22 to find out more).
Treacle's Tricks
Hi there all my furry friends and human pals! I am getting in trouble again (It’s so not fair!) and all because of my favourite toy which is a small rubber tyre with a rope attached.
Swinging it about is all part of the fun and if I happen to hit mummy’s legs and make her a bit cross it's not on purpose.
Greyhounds Make Great Pets
Greyhounds come in a variety of colours: black, white, red, blue, fawn, fallow, brindle or any of these colours broken with white.
Males are usually bigger and slightly taller than the females - the typical height of a dog measured at the shoulder is between 28"-30", bitches are around 27"-28". They are a pedigree breed and normally stay fit and healthy into their teens.
Why Rescue?
Hot on the heels of Crufts dog show, showcasing the ‘best in breed’ from across the globe, one could be forgiven for drooling over pictures of pedigree puppies. But before you pick up the phone to your nearest breeder, a leading animal charity is urging you to consider whether rescuing a pet might be a better way to make your family complete.
