‼️ HELP SAVE SEDR ‼️

Here it goes 🥺... This is without doubt the hardest post I’ve ever had to write 💔

For over 16 years, I have dedicated my heart, soul, and life to building a rescue that provides safety, love, and hope to countless abandoned and neglected dogs. But now, everything I’ve worked so hard for is at risk.

The kennels we rent, which have been the heart of our rescue for the past 5 years, is up for sale with planning for warehouses to be built. We need to raise the funds to buy or find a new home for our dogs—or risk losing it all.
We have mutually rented the site for the past 5 years with other rescues…and whilst we will all continue to support each other…we are all working on our own rescues futures individually given the variations in what is needed by each.

I started SEDR in 2009 as a home-run effort, taking in one dog at a time. It’s quickly grown into a lifeline for 1000’s of dogs—many of whom came to us from unimaginable circumstances. We’ve rehomed dogs, provided sanctuary for those who couldn’t cope in traditional homes, and supported struggling families with food, neutering, and foster care. We’ve upheld a strict no-kill policy and been a last resort for dogs who had nowhere else to turn.

Now, those dogs, along with our sanctuary residents, are facing uncertainty.

We want to raise £1.7 million to buy our kennel site, what we now call home, and save this rescue—16 years of hard work, sacrifice, and love—from being lost forever.

We are under no illusion that the funds needed is possible, but we’re not willing to give up without a fight - our dogs, and future dogs, are ALL worth it!

As a single mum running SEDR, I’ve poured everything I have into building this rescue. I’ve never taken a wage, nor would I want to. These dogs have saved me just as much as I’ve saved them. My incredible daughter Skye, our amazing supporters, and the volunteers who’ve stood by us have been my rock. And together, we’ve shown the absolute best of what compassion can achieve.

But right now, I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and heartbroken. Finding a suitable place to rent feels impossible, and we don’t have funds sitting in the bank to buy somewhere. All I want is to secure a safe and happy life for the dogs who depend on us—the Jaspers, the Tegans, the Bugsys, and the ones who haven’t yet crossed our path.

This is our most desperate hour. If you love dogs, believe in rescue, or know what it’s like to see hope in a dog’s eyes, we need your help.

Every share, donation, or word of support brings us closer to securing a forever home for these dogs.

If you know of a suitable location or have ideas to help us secure the future of SEDR, please reach out. Together, we can protect the dogs who’ve already been through so much and continue to be a lifeline for those in need.

Please join us. Let’s not let these dogs down.

A fun visual representation of what your dog sees (smells) every day. Look at how noisy it is and how many tracks there are intertwining. The different animals, people, and dogs movement in just one area. The snow lets us humans see the history of this area and what animals and people have passed through. A dog will smell this every day and know who and what animals have passed through. Smellavision!!!!

Dogs are incredible.

Imagine tracking and detection dogs needing to filter out all this noise and track a single scent down. Amazing!

(Note this is a fun representation, not accurate)
