21st June_BDH_Little Miracle

Earlier this month, we launched our incredibly important Little Miracles appeal 🐾 Thank you so much to everyone who has already shown their support by donating and sharing our cause on social media and with friends! The appeal has been created to help us to address the rising problem of pregnant dogs being abandoned in the West Midlands. Birmingham Dogs Home has felt the impact of this significant rise in pregnant dogs, prompting the urgent need for us to create a dedicated "whelping unit" to provide safe birthing environments. We're calling on our incredible supporters to help us in raising £50,000 for this essential new facility. Learn more about how your donations will help our appeal by checking out our website - https://birminghamdogshome.org.uk/little-miracles-appeal/ Thank you for your support in giving a safe start for mums and their pups! 💚💜 #BirminghamDogsHome #DogCharity #Brum #Birmingham #Wolverhampton #Wolves #AnimalCharity #Woof #WestMidlands #Charity

April 1st_BDH Sponsor a Kennel

As we are all enjoying our Easter Bank Holiday, we just wanted to remind you how your amazing support enables our team to continue caring for dogs like Spot. 🌷 Spot came into our Wolverhampton Centre recently as a stray. She was limping on her front legs, had hair loss and her skin was extremely sore too. After a trip to the vets the X-rays showed a clear fracture to her front leg which sadly had to be amputated. As well as lots of TLC, medicated baths and pain relief, Spot started to make progress and was soon hopping around her kennel and causing trouble! Everyone who owns dogs knows that that is the point when you know your dogs is feeling better - when they start being cheeky again! Spot has made a full recovery and is now loving life in her new home thanks to your ongoing support and donations towards her veterinary treatment. 💜💚 If you want to help us care for dogs like Spot then please consider sponsoring a kennel and donating monthly from as little as £4 a month. That £4 really does save lives. https://birminghamdogshome.org.uk/sponsor-a-kennel/
