Jacky Cutler is co-ordinator for the Lancashire Heeler Community Welfare Fund, which helps Heelers in need of a home, and those with medical issues. Though numerically small, the Lancashire Heeler community is tightknit. There’s even a national network that can transport a dog from anywhere in the UK to their new home.
Jacky explained: “We don’t have a lot of dogs, but we are in contact with older people who’ve got them, and if they die, or go into a home, we have to find homes for the dogs. We’ve rehomed four in the last few months by putting them on the Facebook group. As soon as I put them on, there are people saying: ‘I want him/her!’
“We’ve recently had a situation with a puppy who came from Ireland without a pet passport, and was seized by trading standards and put into quarantine. That cost £1,800, so we stepped in and paid it because we knew the owners wouldn’t be able to afford to, and we didn’t want the risk of the puppy being put down. We asked the group if anybody wanted to donate, and we got the best part of £1,000 within the first 24 hours. It was incredible.”
