I don't think it means they won't home dogs from Caithness in Caithness but just not in the area they came from.

I'm related to NLP and I had the chance to meet Barney, the dog in question and he is lovely. He's very thin and has obviously been abandoned/lost for a while. He seems to have been feeding out of bins as the kitchen bin was always being emptied by him. I know NLP spent a lot of money on toys etc for him and tried to make him part of the family. Her wee girl who's three is missing him like mad. Although they only had him for four days she named him Barney and she was out looking for him with her mum and dad. I know their gutted at not getting him back. He wasn't found in Wick but out in the country and he was lucky to have found a good home for that four days. I really hope they eventually get to keep him and that I get to meet Barney again. It's a pity they couldn't give him a home for Christmas.
That is such good news about the dog which NLP found and many thanks for doing this Audrey.
I already donate monthly to the SSPCA but will give the £20 I offered as an extra gift to Christmas. Will I just send it to Balmore?
I am sure we all appreciate the great work you do in caring for these poor animals.
dont think anyone was meaning to slag of the sspca, you do wonerful work, it just didnt make sense that someone that wants to give him a home couldnt. Glad you have had a rethink, and will let him go to a loving home, nice to think that it would be in time for christmas...
Hopefully there will be a reunion soon
There will be a Merry Christmas for Barney when he goes home.........a nice 'waggy tail' I am sure for this doggy tale.:D
Good of the SSPCA to clarify points of concern.....:)
To Balmore,
I would like to say you all do a teriffic job at caring for the animals. I hate thinking of animals without owners as to me animals are a companion for life...not just a toy! If i had the space, time and money i would take in as many animals as i could!!
I am a huge animal lover of all species!! From cats to dogs...horses to donkeys...rats to degus...spiders to snakes! :D
Well done to all at the centre for their time and dedication to these animals!

Well done to Balmore! Common sense has been used instead and this should result in a very happy ending.
Balmore does a fantastic job and I too am going to donate. I will be going out with some food.
NLP - you should be proud of yourself. You stuck with this and saw it though to the end. Merry Christmas.
Great outcome, glad to see it. Well done to Balmore also for all the good work, people were merely concerned that someone who cared was not getting a fair chance. I will apologise for any upset caused.
Just been out to drop off some gear and saw the little dog that all the "controversy" has been about. What a cute little chap, very loveable. He certainly wasn't in as bad a shape as I had been imagining but I am sure that he will soon be a roly poly becuase he will be spoilt rotten.....
Hi NPL, was looking at the sspca dog rehoming site, there's 3 collie pups at Balmore(hopefully there still there, not sure when the site was last updated) along with other dogs. Maybe one of them would make a good pet if unfortunately you dont get him back.
Just want to say that Barney has gone back home with NLP. They came for him this morning. He couldn't have been happier to see them.
Thats great news, so happy for u! Hope u all have a lovely life together, dinna let him escape again ;) !
what brilliant news, hope barney and nlp will be very happy together, merry christmasxx
Aaw what a lovely Christmas he will have :D
Hope you dog proofed your garden lol He sounds like a houdini :lol:
Best wishes to you and your family, hope you have many happy years with Barney x
