dreadful woman

hope this woman never works with any kind of animal or rescue centre in any capacity again.

Lola was a young staffordshire bull terrier bitch who came to the attention of Doris Banham Dog Rescue after she had been taken into the vet by a member of the public.

A gentleman had been walking his dog alongside a canal when he found this little scared staffy who was absolutely soaking wet - it is thought she may be been thrown into the canal.

The gentleman attempted to coax Lola to him but in her extreme state of fear and terror, she ran into the road and was hit by a car.

The man took Lola to the vet where, by good luck, a Doris Banham volunteer was. Doris Banham immediately offered Lola safety within their rescue.

An appeal went out for a transport run to take Lola to Doris Banham's kennels and a lady stepped up to offer to do the run. This volunteer was thoroughly checked out - she was a co-ordinator and fosterer for another rescue. She said she would keep Lola overnight and take her to the kennels as she had another dog to pick up the following day.

The next day, 30th December, Doris Banham got a TEXT from this volunteer saying that she had lost Lola in woodland in Doncaster. The search then began to try and find Lola.

Volunteers were out day and night trying to find Lola, putting posters up, speaking to locals and knocking on doors.

For 10 days, these dedicated people searched high and low for Lola whilst the transporter did nothing to help.

On the 11th day, it was discovered that Lola was not lost and was nowhere near Doncaster - the transporter had surrendered her to a pound in Halifax as a stray. She was was put down just the day before this information was discovered as the pound believed she was just another unclaimed stray.
