Happy New Year to all our Pet Samaritan friends and animal lovers everywhere - very best wishes from all the pets and people at St.Bernard's Animal Sanctuary

No news of dogs missing over the holidays.  Another lost dog reported.

Some dogs wouldn't dream of chewing anything up - others go for everything they can get their teeth on - your best trainers, the t.v. remote, the steering wheel in the car, their bed, a corner of the sofa even.   When it's not a puppy thing and your dog is still a chewer when he's grown up,  is there anything you can do to stop him?

Please feed us!   With so many stray dogs brought in recently, and most of them are big guys, we need lots of dog food.   Any cans and complete will do (Chappie is gentle on the digestion) and we have old dogs who need soft food and pouches.  The large animal sanctuaries do not take in strays and we are dependent on public support to keep going.  Thank you to everyone who brings food in - it soon disappears with all these hungry canines!   Also, if anyone can help towards keeping the dogs warm in this very cold weather we will be very grateful.
