Janetta Harvey

Wilma

Wilma

Sadly Wilma does have cataracts in both eyes, both quite mature. They will be assessed by specialists and if operable this will be arranged. Donations to Schnauzerfest will ensure that this costly, but life transforming surgery is done for Wilma before she heads off to her new life. Being able to restore the sight of a dog is one of the greatest gifts we can offer a dog from a puppy farm background. It removes a major obstacle to them getting on with making up for all the lost years in the breeding kennel. This is why our charity exists.

Topsy

Topsy

Topsy’s is a difficult story, one that’s thankfully rare when it comes to DBARC’s schnauzers. Eight years ago Topsy arrived at DBARC in serious need of help, having been rescued from a puppy farm. Over a period of months she was given all the necessary veterinary care needed to get her new life off to a good and healthy start. This included restoring her eyesight with cataract surgery. She was fostered by Janet and loved by the whole DBARC team during her stay at the centre, before being adopted.

Roll on 8 years and Topsy is now around 12-14 years old. And she is back at DBARC

Schnitzel

Schnitzel

Schnitzel lived for several years in a puppy farm. The deprivation of this kind of life is something most humans cannot imagine our beloved dogs living through.

However, Schnitzel did and was rescued from it, landing into the safe care of the Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre shortly after the October weekend of Schnauzerfest Walks. However, things did not go as expected for this sweet soul.

Meg

Meg

Meg arrived at the Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre in a state of fear and confusion. She had been saved from a life of breeding in a puppy farm. Her fear of humans is typical of dogs who have been starved of human affection, regular, normal human contact and been subjected to the awfulness of living in a breeding shed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
