Well I notice there is no transparency here with regards to Max it's about time for some honesty here until that happens I like many others will continue to share his story and no longer support blue cross and encourage others not to support and to use and support other honest rescues

Date Posted：20/12/2015 6:06 PMCopy HTML ORIGINAL PLEA: Max is a young dog, a German Shepherd/Spanish mastiff cross. He was rescued as a tiny pup from the mountains of Spain by my friends, Heather and Fred, a kind, elderly couple who moved him back to the UK with them. He is an energetic, beautiful, confident dog who, due to his developing physical needs and strength, needed younger owners. This broke his rescuers hearts but for their and Max's safety, it was decided to rehome him via the Blue Cross animal shelter at Topcliffe, North Yorkshire. In his first and second weeks at the Blue Cross, Max was doing brilliantly and had glowing reports. In the third week his rescuers were told he was dangerous and would be put to sleep within 3 days. Heather and Fred were devestated and tried to take him back, not realising that they had signed a contract giving up all rights. The contract was never explained, neither were they given a copy. Time was running out so a specialist legal firm was engaged to help Max. The legal firm wants to send an independent assessor to see Max. The Blue Cross are refusing. Heather anf Fread want to visit Max to see how he is. The Blue Cross are refusing. The legal firm are trying to engage with the Blue Cross to help Max. The Blue Cross are refusing. It has now come to cold legal letters and Max is in confinement and no one knows how he is, other than being told he is distressed and trying to escape. He must be so confused and frightened. Max needs your help to share his story. On his behalf, a short term sanctuary place has been identified, a forever home has been found with a expert owner and back up rescue support has been secured for life. Max can be saved. Max was a happy, healthy dog. He needed some socialisation with other dogs, although he lived very happily with cats. The Blue Cross knew this yet went against his care plan and let another dog into Max's space, because Max growled, they deemed him dangerous. He is not dangerous, he's alone, afraid and confused. A healthy young dog with a lovely future ahead of him. Please, on behalf of Max, can you share his story and help save him. Thank you.  |

Re：Blue Cross Main Page Comments Date Posted：20/12/2015 7:16 PMCopy HTML Well I notice there is no transparency here with regards to Max it's about time for some honesty here until that happens I like many others will continue to share his story and no longer support blue cross and encourage others not to support and to use and support other honest rescues Just heard about Max. Killed at your Thirsk Branch. Well done. No further support from me. Vikki Novelle shared a post to Blue Cross's Timeline.Online photo dog show for Rescue dogs. Just 10p a class. E-mail your entries to k9vms@live.co.uk 😊  Deleye if not allowed. I have a very sick pet. Summer is a loyal amd loving family dog. She has a life threatening desease called autoimmune heamolytic anemea. Its killing her red blood cells. She only had 8%. She desperately needs a blood transfusion as shes maling too slow a progress. Basically its going to damage her orhans before she can maintain her bloods at the speed shes going. If you cant donate please please share my post. Thank you for taking the time to read this post x What happened to the dogs you apparently put down despite foster parents being found, dogs like Max ??? Why is BX Thirsk deleting all the Max related posts and blocking any "Visitor Posts" from being made?? Guilty conscience perhaps? You need to give answers on your appauling decsion regarding Max - Why no independant assessment? Why not let the previous owner be there - Will no longer be supporting After hearing of the appalling betrayal in Thirsk of an elderly couple who only sought the best for their dog, the killing of said dog and the litany of lies that accompanied this incident I regret to say that I find myself unable to any longer support the Blue Cross and will be cancelling my direct debit to you as soon as the banks open Monday morning. Disgusted to hear that you had Max the German Shepherd/Mastiff cross who was at your Thirsk centre euthanised. I will be cancelling my direct debit with immediate effect. Dear Blue Cross, I am very sorry to hear the outcome for poor Max. As a qualified canine behaviourist and trainer, with experience of both working with and owning a dog with significant behavioural issues, I realise the decision you made would have been far from easy and in some cases euthanasia is the best option for all. It's unrealistic to think all dogs can be safely rehabilitated, of homed and it only takes a lapse for tragedy to occur. Keep helping those you can help and keep making those decisions to spare suffering and pain to those you can't. An awful lot of dogs owe you their lives. counts so I can't comment on that. But the posts I've seen on here over the last 24 hours is quite frankly utter madness. While I know feelings are running high regarding Max but to call the staff all things under the sun is appalling. The staff working in Blue Cross do not dislike animals if they did they wouldn't work there. They want the best for the animals but sometimes the animals for whatever reason are not suitable for rehoming due to issues they have. Also dog attacks have increased over the last years which I imagine has a knock effect with rescue centres and they have to be more careful with which dogs they rehome now maybe than 5 or 10 years ago. R.I.P SWEET DARLING  I am really struggling to understand why you put Max to sleep when other rescues were offering to take him? You would help yourselves by just admitting you made a mistake. Human error happens all the time & that is what it was. You did not do the right thing. You had other options that would have helped this dog, instead you chose to give up & not try & help. You would gain a lot more respect by telling the truth instead of making up these lies. This is my post from 20 hours ago - I am still awaiting a reply to my questions. Jo RoachBlue Cross 20 hrs · Blue Cross, maybe the question that needs to be asked is why Max's behaviour changed so dramatically within your care, to the point that after just 3 weeks, he was deemed so aggressive that he had to be put to sleep? Surely a full initial assessment was carried out? At this point his behaviour cannot have been deemed aggressive, so what happened to him in the short time he was at Blue Cross to make him aggressive? I would like a reply to my questions please from Blue Cross. Freddie would like to wish everyone at The Blue Cross a very Happy Christmas. Thank you for finding me a home 3 & a half years ago. I am 18 & a half now and doing pretty well. XXX  I am utterly disgusted with your recent actions regarding Max...the dog that you euthanized recently and as a result am withdrawing my support to your organisation. An interpreter interprets as he see's fit and your decision to KILL was based on YOUR interpretation. An independent assessment should have been carried out and if someone wants their dog back...how dare you not allow that!! I think, as an organisation funded by public money, the Blue Cross should be answering question from the public, regarding Max. Directing comments to a link, which contains information strongly disputed by the dog's owners and family, is not good enough. There are salient points which need to be addressed. To ignore questions, or to lie about the circumstances, will result in loss of faith and funds for the BC. Someone needs to take responsibility for the tragic events surroundin this case. I have seen the new Blue Cross advert twice today & I am incensed, saddened & sickened by the thought that ANYONE who abandons their pet dog in this way should be prosecuted!!! So, I would like to add to the advert... A DOG IS FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS!!! PLEASE THINK REALLY CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING THAT CUTE PUPPY, AS YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! I would like to know why you are deleting posts on your pages questioning your euthanasia of Max. Large charities like Blue cross do this all the time. They think they know best & will never accept help when they need it. They are all about the money & don't care about the animals. We are better off donating to the small charities that need the money & that don't work like a business. I hope this brings you down a peg or two Blue Cross! Now that one case has been publicised but I'm sure there have been many more like this. RIP sweet boy 💙 Re: Blue Cross, Thirsk - The killing of Max I am so disgusted with the actions of the Blue Cross in relation to this issue, particularly to their cavalier attitude in defending their actions. After being a regular monthly supporter of the Blue Cross for many, many years I have reluctantly, and with a heavy heart, today cancelled my mandate in their favour with my bank and they will no longer receive my support. Instead of trying to defend their actions by quoting extracts from their policy document they need to explain, in detail, line by line, the course of events and their reactions to those events that eventually gave them no alternative than to take the action they did. They must realise the depth of feeling in this matter and that it will not just go away. I have no words! I'm shocked by the death of a healthy dog especially when many life lines were offered but I now also worry for all the other animals in your care as many will no longer support you but those animals still need care food and vet treatment. I am also worried as due to being so quick to put poor max to sleep how many more has this happened to and how many more WILL it happen to. People have entrusted you with there pets, in hope they will start a new life in a forever loving home. Poor baby max will never have that now:-( I think it is a shame that everyone is so judgemental. This charity does outstanding work nationally. There are plenty of pets that rely on the clinical services, free microchipping has has been provided and thousands of pets have been rehomed which without this charity may have had a very different outcome. Team members work their hardest and often over stretch themselves to benefit the pets because they do care, they do give their absolute best and ultimatley they are pet lovers themselves. They would never ethuanise a pet without exhausting every possible avenue and at the same time they have to be responsible about the avenues they take to protect other pets and the public. One question why?........if you remove it, then you are guilty....shame on you  Do you know what, none of us where there, none of us were involved. How many people here actually know anything about behaviour? How many are actually involved with rescue other than hiding behind a keyboard. Regardless of what you think due to th recent incident blue cross do an amazing job. Over 8000 animals were rehomed last year. Over 29000 were helped with veterinary treatment. With out the blue cross what would have happened to these? Who would have rehomed these dogs? Most other rescues are full and certainly don't have room for 8000 more dogs a year. Who would have paid the bills for nearly 30 thousand dogs! THOUSAND!!!!!' What happened with max is sad however it would not have been a desission made lightly and not made by on person. Regardless of what people think about the blue cross CEO taking money, or the charity not caring about animal welfare I ask you to look at the numbers and tell me who would have been there for those animals if not The blue cross. I know your aware of this already but I take my hat off to you! The job you do is tough, hard work and grueling. You do it amazingly and continue to face up to the hardship you have gained. People need to be aware of th real world and Step into your shoes. 8000 animals saved bravo blue cross you save lives and are indisposable. You will always have my support and trust!  y are nothing short of murderers, he deserved a chance to prove himself. The Blue Cross are now getting a bad name and losing support because of the actions of those at the Blue Cross Thirsk who have played god, they knew that action was being organized to help Max, to get him assessed properly, yet they went ahead with this despicable act, FOR WHAT ? poor frightened Max, rip heart emoticon You know what is so sad about your killing of Max today? It's all the other animals that will now die because people will stop supporting your charity. In killing Max you have sentenced so many other animals to death. Did you ever stop to think of the consequences of your action? Clearly not! Who the heck do you think you are killing Max after Heather had already informed you she had legal rep? I will not be donating to you now... frown emoticon |
