Carla Lane Animals In Need Liverpool

As ever, we love to hear all your news about the dogs and cats you adopt from us. If they have their own album the update will go in there, otherwise they will all go in here.

Facebook Lady here. I know I have made several posts recently explaining why Facebook service is a bit slow. Well I have hit another glitch today and Facebook messages are no longer visible on the computer. When you click on the inbox the page just goes blank. However they are perfectly visible on my phone so I will still be answering them, I will just be a bit slower and I can't copy links off my phone for you. Hopefully Facebook will resolve this in the next 24 hours as it ...is very frustrating. We know it is them and not us because it did the same on the office computer. Snoopy my foster kitten now appears to be out of danger so I had the joy today of covering in the office whilst Snoopy enjoyed camping out on the desk. He says thanks for all your good wishes and he could hear everyone cooing over him today! It was lovely to be back in the Sanctuary as I have not been for 2 weeks. Snoopy now weighs 6 3/4 ounces, is 3 weeks and one day old, and has finished his antibiotics and the vet is pleased with his progress. Tracey x

Today I have been chosen to read the news. My name is Matilda. I am very sad and unsettled in kennels. I am about 18 months old. I enjoy lots of attention and cuddles but may need time to get to know you as I am so timid especially around men. I am easily won around with a tasty treat but do need time to approach you first. Once on a walk my tail comes up and I behave wonderfully on my lead. I hope I can find the loving patient home I deserve. I had a visitor today and I beha...ved well with their dog but I was just too nervous with their child so possibly a child free home would be best for me. I missed out on a lovely home today. but what will be will be💜 And now for the last 2 days news. I might not have been lucky but several others certainly have! Yesterday Monty and Red were adopted. Today it was Leon and Ben's turn! Also Kitty the cat and Winston the Guinea Pig. Hopefully it will be my turn soon. Do come and see me . Love Matilda xxx

We are desperate for homes, our lovely dogs deserve to spend their days happy with their forever families instead of stuck in kennels. We love them but we know you would love them even more! Without your help offering homes to the dogs we have in kennels we can’t save more dogs who need a lifeline. Please come and see us any day between 1-4.30pm to see if your new best friend is here waiting patiently just for you!

NOTICE! We have our weekly dog training session today 1.00pm-3.00pm Please can you avoid visiting us between these times! This also applies to our lovely dog walkers! Thank you! It is a very valuable session for our dogs and all our dog staff attend.

A very big thank you from Fran Ellis our senior Trustee to all our amazing supporters who responded to our recent appeal for donations.The response has been wonderful and we have received lots of good things to sell to raise funds. It is very much appreciated and we would also be grateful for items like bikes, pushchairs and things like stamp albums, coins and vintage things. Also booze, chocs and biscuits for our raffles!

Missy! Safe to say she has settled well! Katie x

Thank you to Dawnn for this great donation! Much appreciated x

Bailey was Scamp. Just had to share this picture with you. One Happy Dog! Heather X

MISSING HALEWOOD

2.8.18 I started fostering Kiri and her 3 kittens on 21st July. Unfortunately Kiri developed mastitis and has to be rushed to the vets the next day, leaving me hand rearing 3 kittens who needed feeding every 2 hours. This is what Margaret, Judy, Kate & Carol have to deal with all too regularly, but it was a new experience for me with kittens that were only 5 days old. Sadly on the Tuesday whilst visiting the vet with them we lost Russell and tiny Rascal passed away the next d...ay. Sadly they were suffering from cat flu. When I posted last week to explain that Facebook service wouldn't be up to scratch, you did ask me for updates. Well mum is doing really well, mastitis all gone (and all her milk too!), but she still has a very sore eye that is receiving treatment. Snoopy (named after my dog Snoopy as he shares his birthday - 17th July) appears to be a little fighter. He is feeding very well, developing his lungs and becoming very mobile and yesterday I did notice his tail was wagging! He has me wrapped around his paws and is still being fed every 2 hours right round the clock. He has finally started to put weight on and now at 2 weeks and 2 days weighs 4 1/4 ounces. He is still only small and frail so we aren't out of the woods yet, but I feel he has a better than 50% chance after his last 24 hours. His eyes are fully open now. He is on antibiotics twice a day and wherever I go he goes, so he is now becoming a bit of a celebrity in Ormskirk as I take his little carrier out with me so I can supervise him all the time. No one is allowed to touch him and he is well wrapped up, but there has been a lot of peeping at him! I will continue to update you and thank you all for your patience whilst I am distracted from Facebook duties. I am going to put our link up if anyone wants to help towards the cats we save. Just to give you an inkling of costs (I have chosen to pay these myself, but it is not expected of fosterers to do so) this week alone I have spent: Vet 41.50 cat food 6 Kitten milk 7.50 Cat litter 5 Total £60 So when we charge an adoption fee for a kitten, these are some of the things that it would contribute towards. We only charge our direct costs of Neuter, vaccinations, flea & worm treatment, microchipping and vet health check. All these expenses are on top! Your continued support is very much appreciated. https\://animalsinneed.charitycheckout.co .uk/CATS

We are truly blessed with the best supporters in the whole world and wherever possible we will try to say thank you in this album. At peak times sometimes photos won't be taken, but we appreciate the support you all give us so much and hopefully 99% of our thanks yous will be in here.

Thank you so much for the very kind additional donation of £250 from the Bickerstock Team.

You allowed us to rescue Rex (was Barney) last week. He’s still nervous in new situations but had settled in really well. He loves his walks and has already met his new pack. Thank you for letting us have him. Beth x

The fabulous Denver came out with us today to Ormskirk to help us with out fund raising day. He was perfect from beginning to end. He was fussed by lots of children and given lots of treats. Today he has enjoyed, cheeseburger, sausage, pie and gravybones! And that was before we took him to the pub for his lunch, where he enjoyed a portion of Scott's finest chipolatas! He was so fab today and deserves the best home. You wouldn't even know you had him on the end of the lead. He looked his happiest on the 2 occasions where he saw another greyhound! Denver is only 2 years old and has come across from Ireland for the chance of a new life and he most certainly deserves it.

I feel only Carla Lane will understand how proud me and Neil are of our girl, and I know you guys will feel the exact same. So our little dog aggressive Tink has just been out on a walk with Neil, and she spotted a spaniel. As always we informed the owner she is aggressive and to not let the dog come over. Well, Neil told the owner and he responds "mate you've told me before, but look at her wagging her tail." And he walked upto Tink with his dog, and instead of the usual barking, pulling and growling Tink actually played with the spaniel😍. She was so excited. Lots of healthy treats and praise for our girl❤❤❤. Nicola x

All tge staff and volunteers were so lovely with her. I will post photos so you can see how well she's doing. Thank again x

We visited Carla lane today to adopt a dog. The staff were great. Very welcoming and the advice that was given will be helpful. We are so pleased that we found a dog the whole family took to and him to us. Thank you all x

We adopted our Neo from here 6 years ago. He was the only dog the staff brought out to us to see and it was instant love at first sight. The staff are so caring and just want the best for all the animals in their care. Such a wonderful sanctuary xx

Today we visited Carla Lane looking to rescue a Dog and find their forever home. We're so happy that we found a wonderful Dog named Twinkle. We fell in love with Twinkle straight away and it was the easiest decision we have ever made. We can't wait for Twinkle to arrive on Saturday. We will be keeping you updated with photographs x

Thank you to all the staff for your help. We adopted Bonnie she came today and is settling in very well. Thank you for the support with what to do, she’s just gorgeous xxx

So very kind and caring thanks again for taking in the little stray cat I had been feeding for over a year and a half no other animal sanctuary would find him a place and he was unewterd and getting in some awful fights I had to keep in putting anteseptic cream on his wounds so happy now for him just hope someone will come along and adopt him.x

Phoned on Monday the day after they had potential new owners for our dog despite all those other dogs they had in care at the time. Couldn't of chosen a nicer family for us to send him to. Staff really friendly and understanding. Highly recommended.

Our beautiful Staffie Molly (12 yrs) had passed away and our hearts had broken.... we spotted Pepsi (now Milly) on the Carla Lane website and she looked just perfect for us. I messaged Carla Lane asking for a visit...they got back straightaway and arranged a visit for that day. I explained our recent loss and they where genuinely sympathetic and understanding. We arrived at the rescue centre and were met by friendly staff who asked some details before showing me through to a visiting room.... Pepsi (now Milly ) was brought in.... i fell in love immediately such a friendly little staffie. Carla Lane dealt with the adoption swiftly and efficiently and made the process very easy. Thankyou guys xx

My parents got there beautiful Lucy and Carla lane where amazing, so helpful and so so caring for the animals in their care , world recommend 100% ����

My mother in law has been looking for a little dog for a few months now and we decided to visit here today and we are so glad we did. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and helpful. We can't wait for little Hugo to be part of our family. Thank you very much.

My first visit to Carla Lane this morning, to view some dogs. What a lovely, caring rescue. The dogs are clearly at the epi-centre of all they do. The premises might be ageing but that is more than made up for by the love of the people for the animals. Kennels are roomy and very clean and there are great outdoor play areas for socialisation. Well done to all of you!

Monday was the best day coz we were able to adopt Patrick. He’s the most lovely, happy, smiley, wonderful, loving dog and it’s an absolute joy and pleasure to have him at home. All the staff or at least the ones we met at the weekend were all lovely and obviously think a lot of this beautiful boy. God knows where Patrick (now called Paddy) and all the other animals in ur care wud be if it wasn’t for the amazing work u all do so keep it up guys u are all BLOODY AMAZING . Sending love to all of u from all of us and the gorgeous Paddy ❤️

Many thanks to Carla Lane (Animals in need) kennels for boarding Buddy over Christmas. Buddy has only recently been adopted by us and we felt the best thing to do would be to board him over the Christmas period. It’s a caring organisation that puts the animal first. The kennels were clean and bright. Kellie gave me regular updates to put my mind at best.



Thank you CLAIN and thank you Kellie.

I cannot praise the staff at Carla Lane enough. Their dedication, love and care of the animals is second to none. They dedicate their lives to looking after and finding new homes for various animals they care for. Nothing is ever too much to ask, the staff are so lovely and friendly. I for one solute you guys and thank you for doing such an amazing job day in day out xxxx

Adopted our Fernando (Nando) Formally Known as Hercules( Collie cross) around 10 years ago... He is a strong well loved 13 year old now... He has arthritis now and cataract in both eye's.. But that doesn't stop him at all ... Loves his seat on the sofa and his walks, he doesn't miss a trick.. Dreading that day when will have to say goodbye .. Part of the family, fitted in from day one x

Absolutely wonderful organisation knowledgeable staff that are understanding to both animals and potential owners needs. Safe to say we have been blessed with the most amazing rescue dog ever thanks to Lauren Tracey and Connor xx

Absolutely amazing place to get a pet from to give a second chance. The staff are all so kind and help you in every way possible to ensure that everything goes well. We adopted Skye our dog from here and she has settled in very well. Would recommend anyone to give this place a try

A beautiful place. I hope to volunteer as a dog walker in the near future.

A huge thank you to Carla Lane for taking in beautiful Misty who was seriously at risk of being poisoned by a vindictive neighbour. Great people there too.

We have tried to give Sheba a forever home but on arriving and filling the forms in we met the dog but the staff member basically told us we are not getting her ..just seem to put barriers in the way ..i have had big dogs all my life ..if i did not feel i could provide a safe haven for my family and dog i would not have put myself forward ..really disapointed
