BRIARDS WHO NEED HOMES
IN AUSTRALIA
currently - none
This current year (2008 -9) Australian Briard rescue has rehomed 7 ,
8 , 9 Briards.
Congratulations Team Briard!!!
It is an unfortunate fact of life that this service is needed, it is
not an easy job and can be heartbreaking for all parties. However, it
can also be very rewarding when the results are positive.
'Team Briard' is made up of a
group of dedicated Breeders (listed
here) and Briard owners. These breeders & owners are NEVER 'too
busy' or 'too full' to help, house, foster or transport ANY Briard in
need. And a huge thank you to our dedicated owners who work a
weekly 'rescue check' roster. This site would like to publicly thank :
Tania, Kim, Page, Rei, Colleen, Lea, Wendy, Susie & Christina. These
owners & breeders are the backbone of 'Team Briard' and will
NEVER turn down ANY Briard in need - regardless of breeding or ownership
or age.
To the many people who have open their hearts and homes to
rescue Briards - we, AND THE BRIARDS thank you
"if you don't or can't rescue - don't breed"
Help a dog in need!!!
If you feel you have the time and the patience to give a home to an older
Briard or rescue Briard please email
rescue.
Great news - this site / page has received an
award for the work we do for Briards in need!!
Contact your breeder - most breeders WANT to
know where their dogs are and most will have in their sales contract a
clause stating that they MUST be the first contact for rehoming. This is
a good thing, it is the sign of a responsible breeder. Most breeders
will screen prospective adoptive homes, again this is important, as we
all know that a Briard is not the dog for everyone.
Don't feel embarrassed to admit that you can no longer keep your Briard.
Put the dog above your embarrassment and contact your breeder - they
will only want to help. There are many reasons why people have to give
up their dogs and it is best to get in contact with people who know the
breed rather than turning the dog over to a shelter - where it 's end
may not be very happy.
If, for some reason you cannot contact your breeder or
you have contacted your breeder and they cannot help, please send an
email to rescue@briard.com.au Include in the email the approximate age
of the dog, sex, your location, if the dog has been neutered or is
entire, and pertinent things about its background such as; is the dog
used to children, other pets including cats, inside or outside dog,
housetrained and anything else that you feel may be important. If you
like, you can also send a small photo. Once we have all this
information, we can then post on this page and screen prospective owners
for you. We always want the best for the dog and have been very
successful rehoming dogs with this service.
Happy Endings . .
A MESSAGE FROM BRIOCHE:-
It is
going to be fun living here. "Me muver" and aunt just dote on me .
They took me all over the district yesterday and bought lots of
goodies for me -particularly CARROTS and my dried food, and harness
etc for the car.
Mungo (
the 2 year old ginger cat) is the only problem but I have learned to
just squeal at him if he starts that deep throat business and that
confuses everything and "me muver" and aunt just
fly
to my protection. i have spied the older cat ,Cubby, but she just
disappears under the house.
Thank you
for bringing me here. I am trying to be very good and I never make a
sound in the night.
Well --
that is all for now. Sending a special lick and a head rub to you.
Love from
Brioche xxxx00
Brioche - now 'Bruno'
We would like to
send a few photos of our briard 'Tess' to say how much we appreciated
her old owners (who loved her dearly ,but their lifestyle changed and
had to give her up) getting in touch with her breeder (Irena
Schneider)and asking Irena to relocate her to a new family. We were so
thrilled when only the day before we were asking Irena what were the
chances of a briard coming up in the briard rescue scheme, and we were
notified the next day. She is a beautiful girl, we have a wonderful
time together, taking her where ever we can, these photos give you an
idea of the life she has now , surfing, her 2nd birthday, sailing, and
to earn her keep helping out at our jewellery store.
Thanks again
for your 'briard rescue' scheme
Leanne & Don
