local pets K9 CHAT / Pawsitive Action
Max is a 2 year old Labrador Cross who was handed into our centre as his owners could no longer care for him. He is a gorgeous, friendly boy who is eager to please. Max unfortunately suffers from slight separation anxiety and barks
when left and we feel that he would benefi t greatly from the company of another dog. He would suit a family home or a couple/person living on their own. If you can give Max a loving home, please call and quote ref 118677.
Nicki is an 8-10 year old female Labrador Cross. She is a lovely, friendly older lady who is looking for a forever home. She has previously lived with another dog. Nicki can be a bit excitable, but she is very obedient and walks well on her lead. She would suit a family home with older children or a couple/person living on their own. If you can give Nicki a loving home, please call and quote ref 118043.
Molly is a 6 year old Mastiff Cross. She is a loving, settled girl who was unfortunately handed in by her owner due to personal circumstances. Her only issue is that she is not too keen on other dogs due to lack of socialisation and because of this we would prefer that any potential new owners have large breed experience. Molly would suit an
adult only home with no other animals. If you can give Molly a loving home, please call and quote ref 117589.

One of the best events Pawsitive Action has attended. Easterhouse put on a very enjoyable, relaxed and fun fi lled
Gala Day for their community, a well attended “family” event. The majority of stalls were centred on the children, with an exotic petting zoo where kids had the chance to hold a Boa Constrictor, to view a black scorpion, corn snake and much more. There was free face painting and glitter tattoo’s, all sports being played in and out of the gym with many girls and boys playing football all day long in their outdoor court. Burgers only a £1 and so were the children’s rides and bouncy slide. The staff and volunteers of The Hub made everyone, stalls holders and the general public alike, to feel very welcomed.
Although only a few brought their dog our volunteers went Out & About amongst the crowd and spoke with people directly. We handed out free sweets to the kids and asked everyone if they had a dog, giving a free doggie bag to every owner. This included a free treat for their dog, dog poo bags and information on Dog Ownership and the laws. Each and every time we were greeted with conversation, and what was also nice; people
were going out of their way to come to the tent to receive a bag and advice on their dog.
The day presented a wonderful opportunity to speak with an abundance of children about dogs, we had the chance to address issues such as: the dos and don’ts of approaching and petting dogs: the importance of training and exercise: and the many responsibilities of owning a dog. The children asked many questions and told us of their dogs and doing so while petting our volunteer dogs. What
better way to educate, to our future dog owners.
Thank you to both our adult and children volunteers your help and time is invaluable. And thank you to our volunteer dogs that help draw the crowd in.
