Ive been asking jodie what the progress was of this poor little girl but had no idea she was in such a state. A cruelty case that should go to court but mind you that wont get very far a fine at best. the important thing here is to get the little old lady well again and into a loving home for whatever remains of her time. People just make you sick animals that give such love deserve it back ten fold. I know now she will get that but I hope she has enough time to enjoy it. Have sent a donation via paypal for her and lots of Love and kisses.xxx Anthony Lorraine Poorly merlin and fleur xxx

I have thought several times about posting about Sparky, but kept stopping myself because I am in such a temper over the whole business. Jodie gave Andrea and I a "heads up" about this last week when the proverbial hit the fan. These people have absolutely no idea on the far reaching implications and I only wish they could be fined and the money given to Castledon because: They have cruely mistreated a Castledon Hound Jodie had to spend her time and the charity's funds to go and rescue Sparky Jodie is having to look after Sparky in her own home to get her "right" Castledon is having to pay hard earned funds out to get Sparky back to health The Trustees had to postpone an important meeting because Jodie could not leave Sparky. It's a quadruple whammie! Not only do we have to pick up the pieces for Sparky (which we would always do, of course), but it means less funds available for looking after all the other hounds. Jodie's life is, yet again, placed into turmoil and the Trustees have to rearrange an important meeting where we plan fundraising for the year to ensure we can continue to look after the hounds. These so called "owners" have a lot to answer for in my opinion. Thank you very much to those of you who have kindly sent donations - your funds will be used to aid Sparky's recovery, but my point is - you shouldn't have to! Yet again we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help with a situation which was avoidable! Why didn't they get in touch when Sparky was fit? How could they leave her to rot? I am deeply upset, as I'm sure you can tell.

good luck with the RSPCA too. I contacted them once about a neglected dog, after wrestling with my conscience, they were very quick to visit i must admit (within the hour) they asked if i wanted them to inform me of the outcome, which obviously i did. the answer i got was " just because someone doesn't look after a dog to the same standard that you would, it doesn't mean they can do anything about it)! what makes things worse is that she obviously didn't get in this state overnight, so what kind of people are they, not ones that should be having children i think!!!! OH I'M SO BLOODY MAD

We can only agree with everything that's been said on this thread - an absolutely heartbreaking situation.
Whilst we were away in Suffolk this week we met a really nice lady who was very interested in greyhounds as she thought one might suit her (she's not able to walk as far as she used to). We gave her a Castledon card and encouraged her to phone Jodie and Sandra for a chat. We said the right greyhound was out there waiting for her. I don't know if she will ring or not but Sparky could be the perfect girl for her. Whatever happens Sparky is safe right now and that's all that matters.
We will also send her some money.
Bless you Jodie, what would these dogs do without you?

Have sent small donation via paypal for Sparky. This has made me so upset. I have two greys coming up to 12 years old and I am dreading the time they leave me. I could no more pass them on than fly to the moon.

This has really reduced me to tears, how can people do this sort of thing. Don't they realise how this poor little thing was suffering. I only hope the RSPCA do something. Will be putting a cheque in the post tomorrow. Hope there will be some good news about her soon

Thank you so much to all you kind people that have donated towards Sparky's care Sparky is doing SO well - she is an absolute sweetheart. I've only had her 10 days but already there is such a huge change in her - she has put on lots of weight & is just SO loving & affectionate. She looks up at me with her soulful eyes and just wants to be cuddled. She is really enjoying her new home - more often than not she is laying on her back with her legs up, totally chilled out! This has been since she has gained the weight & is not constantly feeling hungry & needing to search for food. I have a picture of her to put on, but I will have to get someone else to put it on here as I don't have a clue how to do it! Jan - Sparky says thank you very much for her lovely gifts that you so kindly got her x
