guinea pig rescue contact details need updating

[tattyruncy]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.
In the list of rescues that I have tried to make contact with some of the phone numbers no longer exist and or the websites are not able to be viewed and e-mail addresses are bouncing back.
Maybe this whole section could be updated as there are so many new people as members on here representing rescues.
It is the same on guineapigrehome also, very frustrating.
Maybe all the new members on here with a rescue could add their details and if anyone knows if a rescue is no longer operating then it could be removed from the list.
Thank you

I was also wondering if members who are rescues on here could be 'flagged' in some way - as we're not allowed signatures. Perhaps where it says 'Donator' when people have donated to the forum, it could say 'Rescue' for rescues? Sometimes I reply to something then realise new people might not know who I am, as my user name is me rather than the rescue, so then I have to type the rescue name at the bottom of my post. Sorry for the ramble!

I think updating the contact details is a good idea and I'll get started on it next week (seeing as I have 29 report cards to write just now).

As for the Rescue title thing unfortunately I don't know that this will work - how do we pick who gets to call themselves a rescue on here and who doesn't? I can see lots of dummy spitting happening if we say yes to some and no to others. I think it's fair to say that people know the reputable rescues on here.

Just to help a bit - the Hull and the Notts rescue listed don't appear to be contactable by phone or e-mail or website

This website hasn't been contactable on the old link:
http://www.cavyrescueandretreat.org.uk/ (fi. Cantillon)

This one is new:
http://www.smallpawsrescue.co.uk/ (Logiebear)

I would like to support the request for members who are running reputable rescues to be allowed either a signature or a designation (would NOT include fosterers). It would make things a lot easier for people looking to rehome or giving up their piggies.

New rescues coming on here can be accepted either by recommendation of a known rescue or by dint of sticking it out on here for a certain amount of time so we get to know them.

Or you could allow those members who run a rescue to change their member name to that of their rescue, please.
