4 Friends of Little Valley By Jill Brush, Membership Secretary Autumn is upon us. Where did the summer go? It's true that as one gets older the time flies by or is life more fulfilling and we more contented? I am sure I can rely on the wonderful Friends of Little Valley to support our Christmas Fair raffle as strongly as ever and, if possible, please come along to our Shelter which is hosting the Christmas Fair for the first time we and the animals will be there to welcome you. Thank you so much for your continued support. To contact me phillandjillb@aol.com or telephone on Young Fundraiser Ellie Morgan and her friends decided to raise some money for Little Valley with a bake sale on their doorstep. They raised a whopping for the animals! Thank you Ellie and friends a magnificent effort. Ellie came up to the Shelter and had a tour around when she presented us with the money she had raised. 4

6 Pat Pollock It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of Pat Pollock Trustee, Budleigh Salterton Shop Manager and former Exmouth Auxiliary Secretary. Pat s love of animals could be traced back to her childhood in the West Country and the time she spent living on a farm with her parents. On leaving school she joined the WRAF where she was commissioned and acquired many new skills, not least flying a glider! It was during her time as WRAF Schools Liaison Officer for the North East, based at RAF Middleton-St-George, that she met her future husband Dave Pollock, who was also an RAF officer. Pat resigned her commission when she married and embarked on life as a service wife moving frequently, both in the UK and abroad, with Dave, their two sons and various animals. It was after retirement to Exmouth twenty two years ago, and as a result of adopting Boot (a large black Collie cross) from Little Valley that Pat became an active supporter of the work of the Shelter. She made few concessions to retirement and employed her legendary organisational skills for the benefit of the Branch and the other charities she supported. She was a committed and conscientious Branch Trustee for many years and could be relied upon to give wise, considered and fair advice. As Auxiliary Secretary she also organised the successful fundraising activities of the Exmouth Auxiliary Group for several years until 2009 and was responsible for recruiting and nurturing many supporters of the work of Little Valley. From 1997 Pat managed the Budleigh Salterton Shop on a voluntary basis, ably assisted by Beryl Gooding as Deputy Manager. During this time she built up a loyal band of volunteers who were inspired by her friendliness and enthusiasm. This, in turn, helped to create a welcoming atmosphere within the shop which was much valued by customers and resulted in the substantial financial contribution made by the shop on an annual basis towards the running costs of Little Valley. In 2001 Pat and Dave adopted Molly from the Shelter. She was a stray Staffie cross from the streets of Liverpool and came with attitude. It is due to their loving care and patience that she matured into a lovely companion. Pat was a great ambassador for the Branch and will be sadly missed by all her friends. We send our sympathy to Dave and her family. 6
7 Acorn Special Case Dog Rescue Back in January 2014 we were involved in a large case at Doddiscombsleigh. In all, 28 dogs were rescued from the property many of whom came to Little Valley. It took a long 18 months before the case came to trial and the dogs were finally able to be rehomed. Of all the dogs in our care from this case, only Willow and Acorn are still looking for their forever homes. Bernie Bernie joined the Sellick family in May 2015, here is his story: Bernie has quickly settled, going from being quite a nervous dog to become a confident and happy chap. We were prepared for Bernie not to be house-trained and to struggle being in the house, but he is very much at home and has found his place! In all this time we have had no accidents in the house at all and he is quite the model dog! He loves his countryside walks and has discovered the joys of sticks, occasionally choosing to play with a toy as well! His favourite past-times are watching the world go by in the garden, snuggling up in his favourite chair and having a bit of a fuss made of him (he even quite likes being groomed). We knew that Bernie would need time and a quiet, calm, patient approach, and bringing him home is the best decision we could have made. He very much chose us and the speed with which he has settled is due (in no small part) to the time, work and efforts of the Little Valley team, who continue to be a great support. Bernie is a tender and very sweet-natured boy who we love seeing come out of his shell a bit more as the weeks go on. We can't remember life before Bernie - he is absolutely part of the family! Wendy (Wendolin) was adopted by Gill Watson, here is her update on her: I'm sorry to see that some of the other dogs from the same home are still waiting for homes, as if they are anything at all like Wendy they will make fantastic pets. Wendy is just wonderful so gentle and tolerant. She is still nervous of people but I can now walk her down into Topsham on a quietish morning; we just stop off at a cafe where we can sit outside in a quiet spot and the guys who run it have been making friends with Wendy and giving her treats bits of sausage and bacon! Mostly we walk in quieter areas. She has been over to Sidmouth to see my Mum and go for a stroll there and has managed well. When I come home from work she goes berserk and roars round the garden. Her personality is coming out more with every passing day. Recently, Wendy came back to visit the staff and she was an absolute star! 7 Wendy Willow
8 New Homes Required! Many of the animals in our last edition have now been rehomed. Bob the Sharpei is still waiting, but more about him elsewhere in this newsletter. Poor Acorn and Willow are still waiting for their forever homes, as are ferrets Capt America and Ant-Man, who have now teamed up with fellow super-sleuth ferret Miss Marple!

10 Daphne Absalom We are very sorry to report the death of the Branch President, Miss Daphne Absalom. Daphne was a lifelong supporter of the work of the RSPCA and, after her retirement in 1985, she became Branch Secretary of the Exeter Branch and was instrumental in the acquisition of the smallholding at Little Valley which became the site of the present Animal Shelter. Daphne was born in Kingston upon Thames and during the war she drove an ambulance in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. After training as an Occupational Therapist, she went to work in a psychiatric hospital in Melrose, Scotland and then, after some years, moved to be with her parents and sister, Thelma, in Dunchideock and joined the Occupational Therapy team at the RD&E Hospital. Daphne eventually became Chief OT and remained at the hospital until her retirement. Throughout this time she had many opportunities to enjoy her great love of travelling and was able to visit many countries around the world, both in connection with her work and for pleasure. One of her favourite expeditions was to Asia to travel the Silk Road. She also had many other interests including books, poetry and calligraphy and, of course, her beloved dogs. Her active association with the Branch began at a crucial time for animal welfare as the existing Branch Shelter in Market Street, Exeter was under notice of closure from Exeter City Council. After viewing many sites and properties she found Little Valley and, with the aid of a large legacy to the Branch and a grant from the national Society, she turned the first turf and oversaw the building of the Animal Shelter. Kennel Block A bears a plaque commemorating Daphne s contribution to the Shelter. After some years as Branch Secretary, she retired to become Branch President and maintained an active interest in Little Valley, most recently attending Shelter Day in June and meeting her many friends. Her connection with the animals continued throughout the years, most recently when she and her sister adopted Zac, a lovely ten year old Shihtzu who arrived in February and quickly settled into a life of bliss in Dunchideock. Daphne will be greatly missed and we send our sympathies to Thelma and their family. 10
11 Big Walkies Update We had over 70 dogs turn up to the Big Walkies at Ludwell Valley Park, Exeter and the sun was shining! An army of fantastic volunteers helped out on the day with a special mention to the University of Exeter Animal Welfare Society, Wonford Community & Learning Centre and Stephen Evans of Café 64, Bovey Tracey who put on a fantastic BBQ! We raised an amazing amount of just under 710 thank you to everyone for supporting our very first Big Walkies! Photos courtesy of Maz Bowers and Matt Round of the Express & Echo. 11
12 Special Dog Campaigns Recently we ve had some dogs in that have required some special treatment. We go above and beyond for the animals in our care, but any specialist treatment is not cheap. Here are some of our recent campaigns. Biscuit is a 9 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. When he came into us, he appeared to have something wrong with his eyes. On further examination it was discovered that he was losing his vision and would need reconstructive surgery on his eyelids to save his eyes. Without this surgery he would go blind. However, this specialist surgery would cost 650. We were determined to do everything we could to help Biscuit so set up a Just Giving page. Amazingly, we managed to raise 380 of the total needed and the balance was donated by a kind benefactor. Gorgeous Biscuit has now had his operation, which was a complete success, and he has already found his new family and gone off to his forever home. Good luck Biscuit! Bob is a 7 year old Sharpei who has been at the Shelter since May. On arrival, it was clear that he had been living with a recurring ear problem. We started treatment, but sadly this hasn't made him more comfortable. Now we are going to perform an operation on one of his ears to hopefully solve the problem, but this still leaves the issue of his other ear which may also need an operation down the line. We hope not, as this would mean that Bob would be deaf. Bob is a real character he is loving and fun and a real favourite with the dog team. Bob's operation will cost 500. We want to do all we can to help him but we are a local self-funding branch of the RSPCA. Anything we can raise towards this would be a huge help. If we raise more than is needed for Bob's operation, we can put this towards the next animal that needs our help. We have set up a Just Giving page for Bob: Please help Bob if you can no amount is too small. We already have our next dog project on the horizon. Lolly is a 5 year old Bulldog who sadly wakes herself up when she is sleeping due to breathing difficulties. It looks like she will need an operation to have her nostrils enlarged and her soft palate reduced to make her more comfortable. We will know more shortly and will set up a Just Giving page if needed. Any donations towards these causes can either be made via Just Giving or cheques can be sent into the Shelter marked for the appropriate appeal Bob or Lolly. 12
13 Popular Paris Street Welcome to Little Valley s shop in Paris Street, Exeter. The shop is run by myself, Sue Mason and my Deputy, Nikki. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to one of our vibrant shops in the city of Exeter, which has supported the Little Valley Animal Shelter in excess of 18 years. During the last 14 years of managing the shop I have been fortunate to meet some generous people those who have given up valuable time by volunteering in the shop and those who have donated items to us. All our volunteers are welcoming and do an invaluable job helping to keep the shop stocked, tidy and aid us in sorting, steaming and pricing our pre-loved goods in order to raise precious funds to support the Shelter. Another superb way to make additional funds is through Gift Aid. We ask all persons donating stock if they would like to Gift Aid as it enables the shelter to claim an extra 25p in the 1, which can make all the difference. We always welcome new volunteers to our team, one of whom has remained at Paris Street over 17 years a huge thank you to Jenny. Every volunteer has their own niche which enables us to make the shop successful. One of our volunteers also spends her own time making home-made groovy and glamorous dog coats using recycled materials which would otherwise be put to rag. Each coat is unique, all raising money for Little Valley. The Paris Street shop is situated beside Exeter Bus Station giving us a great advantage on receiving donations such as clothing, bric-a-brac, DVDs/games, electrical goods and other miscellaneous items. We often get visiting coach parties and as well as our regular valued customers who continue to support us there is Samson, who visits everyday! Please pop in and see us you may be surprised what you find in store. If you would like to volunteer in our shop, please give us a call or pop in and see us. 13

Barbara McPhail received the RSPCA Queen Victoria Bronze Medal for her dedication to animals. Trustees receiving long-service awards are Wendy Brookes, Carol Allan and Jackie Williams. Long serving members of staff are Sara Minter, Sue Hurst, Dominique Doe and Sue Mason. 14
