Kennel Club award £4000 to charity
All Dogs Matter save Staffie thanks to grant

Thanks to a recent £4000 grant from the Kennel Club, charity All Dogs Matter were able to rescue a Staffordshire bull terrier destined for euthanasia at a council pound.

Suffering from mange, the two-year-old Staffie, Bella, had reached the end of the statutory seven-day period at the council pound and was due to be euthanised.

Based in East Finchley, North London, All Dogs Matter took Bella on just in time, and she is now in a foster home receiving treatment.

Ira Moss from the charity commented: "We get so many abandoned Staffies, and thanks to the grant from the Kennel Club Charitable Trust we were able to save Bella, offer her a space in emergency kennelling and start immediate treatment on her skin condition."

Since it was established in 1987 the Trust has awarded £6.5 million to a range of charities and organisations across three distinct areas. The Trust provides financial support to dogs needing help or rescue, research into dog health problems, and training dogs to help people.

Commenting on the grant to All Dogs Matter, Chairman of the Trust Mike Townsend said: "Thanks to All Dogs Matter [Bella] was saved from being euthanised and her skin condition is improving by the day. We hope the money we have donated ensures the great work of this charity continues."

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
