9 Years Since I Was Pinned to My Seat by a Snarling Dog

Nine years ago, we (Team Juliet a group of animals lovers helping lots of dogs before kitty rescue) rescued Bronson from a rubbish life and dog fighting. We had found a lost dog took her home and uncovered a horrible situation and both dogs were able to be rescued .

He had been through things no dog ever should. Despite that, in foster he was a lovely dog. Gentle, affectionate, and trusting.

His foster mum had work early before the vets opened, so I sat in my car with him for an hour. We had cuddles and everything felt normal. I then took him in for his neuter.

The vets rang early and asked me to come and collect him, saying he was being aggressive. I assumed he was kennel guarding and thought nothing more of it.

When I arrived, they brought him out double leaded as they could not safely get near him. He came up to me his normal happy self I tried to put a cone on him and he snarled. That was not like him at all, so I left it. I just thought he was uncomfortable at the vets, so we left.

His foster mum was still at work, and I could not take him home because my own dog was dog aggressive. So I sat in my car with Bronson for a few hours near the vet while we waited for his foster mum. We were fine. He kept asking for cuddles and was completely chilled.

Then his foster mum came to the car window.

Bronson jumped onto my knee and started barking at her. I gently held his collar as I went to open the door, just to stop him jumping out.

Instead, he turned and pinned me in my seat, snarling inches from my face.

I froze.

I asked his foster mum to move to the other side of the car to distract him. She did, and I managed to get out of the car.

Bronson would not let either of us back in. We had to call the vets out. He was sedated, the nurse managed to get a lead on him, and he hopped out of my car happy to see me again. I walked him home and he was absolutely fine and settled with his foster mum.

But I knew then that this could not be ignored.

For everyone’s safety, including Bronson’s, we had to take serious action. We found him the perfect home with a couple who could manage him safely and give him the stability he needed.

We later learned his trigger. When he was used for dog fighting, they used to change his collar. That moment, me holding his collar, took him straight back to his trauma. The vets trying to put a cone on him triggered the same response.

It was not his fault. He had a tough life.

I love dogs deeply, but I was out of my depth. That experience left me with a fear of dogs and a harsh reality check. I realised I could not rescue dogs in the same way again. If things went wrong, I had nothing to fall back on. I did not want anyone getting hurt, nor any dog being destroyed.

Because of Bronson, I changed the way I help.

I will always support dogs where I can, because I love them, but I am realistic about how I can help safely. I do my best to find suitable, properly equipped charities, or i step in with vet bills so a dog is safe. While I have rescued the odd dog since Bronson in exceptional circumstances, it is nowhere near the amount I would have if this had not happened. I truly believe we would have become a dog and cat rescue.

I am so glad Bronson taught me that valuable lesson and helped me realise my limits.

Dogs are incredible animals. But the truth is, any dog can snap when trauma is involved, and that can put both humans and dogs at risk.

Bronson was not a bad dog. He was a broken one who deserved understanding and the best possible chance at a better future. I am so glad he got that happy ending.

I just wish others in animal rescue could learn their limits, for the welfare of the animals and the safety of others. Loving animals just isn't enough. I am proud we know our limits and feel we always act in the best interests of animals and the public.

Bronson changed everything for me.

( Also big thank you to the amazing vet team who saved the day and Bronson amazing foster and wonderful adoptive family )

We are sharing this now because we recently helped a dog in a domestic violence situation, and we felt it was important for people to understand a bit more about us

While we are called Kitty Rescue Bury, we do try to help other animals where it is safe and appropriate to do so. We were very intentional and specific when creating our charity , governing document and charitable purposes that we exist to help all animals, with a particular focus on cats. Any help we give to other animals is done carefully, responsibly, and within what we can safely manage.

We are also completely transparent with donations. We would never use funds raised or intended for cats on other animals. If we ever fundraise for a non cat, this is made clear from the start, and those donations go directly to that animal. Cat donations always remain for cats.

Being open, honest, and realistic is how we protect the animals, the people helping them, and the supporters who trust us.

Also please ignore the terrible old pic of me from 9 years ago I try to keep my face and name off here as it's about the animals not us . However we been seeking marketing advice to help us grow the rescue and we're told we need to get more personal with our supporters and get our face and name out there 🙈😬 Chantelle ❤️

From
This Wednesday 14th January, MPs in Parliament are to vote on a new law change.
- It will soon be illegal to protest/plan a protest or even talk online or offline about any place linked to animal testing IF the police think you’re trying to disrupt it.
- You could be locked up for 12 months and have an unlimited fine for:
1. Being at Camp Beagle and protesting outside MBR Acres, who breed beagle puppies to die. Even chanting shut down MBR or Free the MBR beagles at a different location could be a crime.
2. Posting online encouraging others to not use companies that supply animal testing places.
3. Anything that is said or done to encourage anything AGAINST animal testing places. Because they hold research animals this will include most Universities and speaking out on any subject even that the beer is too warm! The public are not even allowed to know where animals are held, people won’t even know they a breaking a law.
4. They say that animal testing facilities must be protected for future pandemic yet only a few places do this and it is not something that dogs are used for.
What do we need to do?
- MPs MUST attend Parliament on Wednesday 14th (This week!) to VOTE NO. – there has been no consultation and there will be no debate. this has been processed in a very inappropriate way.
- Everyone MUST email their MP using the super simple link and ask them to ATTEND & VOTE NO.

Reference dog

We always show invoices and receipts to donors on request but due to the nature of this situation we are happy to show receipt etc but just delayed once the dog is back in a safe home just because if the receipt gets shared the location of the dog may become public putting people and the dog in danger . We just want to keep everyone safe .

The dog needs more than one week boarding so we have contacted many domestic violence charities and they have directed us to the dog trust as they have a domestic violence project we have called them but went to voicemail so left a message and emailed them. Hopefully they get back to us soon and are able to help . If they can't help we may need to raise another few weeks of kennel fees .

If you don't know the situation Yesterday we were contacted by someone wanting to flea but didn't want to leave their beloved dog behind . So we're looking for short term foster or kennels to keep everyone safe till the person is in a new safe home . 💗
