Northland
We need your help to bring Laska home! We are raising funds to help pay for a lawyer to fight for Laska so she can be released back home, or at the very least be released and rehomed, she does not deserve to be euthanised! The FNDC (Far North District Council) is trying to push for this innocent dog to be euthanised and we are trying our best to help her owners save her! All donations will be used for legal fees and any fines the courts charge against Laska, any remaining money after these have been paid will be donated to SPCA or another local Animal Shelter that is in need in our area to help other pets in need.
Please see Laskas full story below and please sign our petition to save Laska from being euthanised on unfair grounds and instead brought back home to her family. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/567/342/169/help-save-laska/
Laska is a loving 15 month Husky/Golden Labroador from Russell, New Zealand. Last week she went missing for two days, throughout that time her owners were actively looking for her involving the whole community to help find their loving pet. When she was found and returned home her family was overjoyed but this joy was shortlived when only a few hours later they had the heartwretching experience of having to give her up to the FNDC Animal Control who came and took her from their property delivering her to the Pound where she is being held. The FNDC Animal control had received a phone call about Laska "roaming" this person also sent in a picture of her with a duck in her mouth. They took Laska from her family saying they would release her when the property had a fully contained and secure area for her to be in. Laska's owners immediately took action preparing their home and section so Laska can never escape again, but after one day the FNDC Animal Control said they were no longer willing to release Laska and instead she would likely be booked for euthenasia. This is on absolutely unfair grounds due to the complainant and their friends continuously ringing in the FNDC to give their opinion that their dog should not be release.
Laska's owners have been proactive in doing everything they can for Laska and caring about their local Kiwi environment.
Laska is booked for Kiwi Aversion Training
The are making a two secure enclosed area's for her
She is a registered, microchipped beloved pet
Laska is part of her owners everyday life, going to work with them during the day and both inside and outside with them at home. She will now have two completely secure areas to play outside.
Laskas owners need support from our community so they can prove this persons complaints are unfair and that Laska is a life worth saving, she is a loved pet who is part of their family and they are doing everything to make sure she can never escape again. Laskas owners need support to help in fighting this unfair battle and bringing her home!
Please help by signing this petition, showing your support here will help them in their defense to save Laska, show there are more people that support laskas return than the few that keep making unfair complains. The FNDC Animal Control should not be able to euthanise a pet who is very clearly cared for, spoken for and no threat to humans or aggressive to other dogs with very obvious intentions for her to become absolutely no threat to Kiwis.
Martin, Lisa, Celab and Billy are so heartbroken their family memeber is missing, the will do everything to get Laska back and to keep both her and the wildlife safe.
I am a local living in the same community as Laska and her family, Our town is very small and majority of people in our town have pets, it is an awful situation to be in to have your beloved pet taken from you, and to have her life threatened needlessly is heartbreaking. I am helping this family get their four legged family member back home with them through internet and computer skills. I am passionate about animal welfare and this does not seem like fair judgement to me so I want to help however I can! Bring Laska Home!
Funds will be raised to aid in legal fee's and any fines the FNDC decide to charge against Laska and her owners, so far we have heard it will be a minimum of $1000 but likely to be much more. All funds will be used so Laska can be supported by a lawyer and pay of fines from FNDC and charges from the pound or at the very least be released and rehomed . Any money left after this will be donated to SPCA or another Animal Rescue or Shelter to help them.
Outcome of Laska's case 20 June 2017
From Lisa: Just an update on laska, we went to court Tuesday before last and we used legal aid, we were informed that there was new evidence of Laska killing Weka, we did not see this evidence but however we were advised to plead guilty and take the smaller fine as the lawyer said this was best for Laska aswell as we had a condition of re homing her, we have been busy tryingto rehome her locally and have now found someone in Paihia who is willing to take her with fenced property, he is waiting approval from council. Martin and I have decided to pay our fine and use the money from the give a little page for her re-homing: getting her updated with shots, flea and worm treatment, checked out by a vet, and give her the best start in her new home. Whatever is left we plan to help SPCA and Sue Dennis as I am of the understanding she is starting a dog rescue.
This was not the outcome we were hoping for, but we thank you all for your amazing support.
