If you are not already aware, AlphaGuardK9 are running a dog rescue group on Facebook to help cope with the increased number of abandoned dogs we are dealing with in Sussex and the surrounding area.
This essential service for lost and stray dogs was borne from our work with local councils providing an out-of-hours Stray Dog Collection service, and we would like to thank all of those already involved.
We always need foster homes for these poor pups, and are working towards charity status, so please help us by spreading the word.

DEFRA’s dog control bill is set to make dog microchipping compulsory in England, to help tackle the problem of irresponsible dog owners.
Microchipping is the best way of tracing lost animals or proving ownership.
Having seen a notable increase in the number of stray dogs collected in recent months, please can we remind all dog owners:
If you lose your dog …
Do get your dog microchipped.
Do keep your dog’s microchip details up to date.
Do ring the police and dog wardens straight away.
Do make sure your phone is monitored.
DEFRA have launched a public consultation – running from 23 April 2012 to the 15 June 2012 – and would like to hear from anyone with an interest in responsible dog ownership, including: enforcement agencies; people working with dogs; animal welfare organisations; dog keeping organisations; and the general public.
