🎄✨OUR CHRISTMAS APPEAL: CAN YOU HELP MILES GET BACK ON HIS FEET?!✨🎄

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas! We're so grateful that thanks to you, so many Turkish rescue dogs got to have a comfortable, happy Christmas with their families ❤️ Hopefully next year, many more AFOT rescues can enjoy a happy Christmas in their very own homes..

Miles is the first of our new rescues for whom we hope that this will be his last Christmas without a family and a home of his own.. But we need your help to make this possible for him! Miles is in a terrible state after being stuck in the government shelter, where he had to fend for himself in a crowded kennel full of stronger dogs..

Miles desperately needs your donation to help pay for the costs of getting him back to health and ready for adoption. Alternatively you may wish to be one of Mile’s first sponsors, we will be introducing a special sponsor package that will give you access to regular photos and updates on your special sponsor alongside lots of other incentives. Please get in touch with us to put your name down in readiness if so.

You can find the donation options for Miles below. Thank you for helping him!!

✨*CAN YOU GIVE MILES HOPE FOR A BETTER LIFE THIS CHRISTMAS?!*✨

Meet Miles. He is our newest rescue from the government shelter in Turkey, and he needs your help!

Miles is the first of the new dogs AFOT have committed to taking on in partnership with Melez Dog Rescue, to save more dogs at risk of an uncertain fate under Turkey's Massacre Law.. He was stuck in the government shelter with no hope of a future..
Miles is a great example of the type of vulnerable dog that is at risk under the new law. Middle-aged, quiet and weak, as his kennel got more and more crowded, he was unable to get enough food, and he started to waste away.. He is so incredibly malnourished, he is a walking skeleton..
Miles had no way to fend for himself in the crowded government shelter, and with weak and sick dogs being euthanised to make space for more dogs coming in from the local round-ups, the clock was ticking for him.. Who knows how much longer he would have survived..

Miles is now safe, but our work doesn't stop here.. Miles desperately needs sponsors to help pay for the costs of getting him back to health and ready for adoption. Miles is such a sweet boy and he so deserves the chance to have a better life in a home in the UK.. Can you help get him there?!

Pippin and his brother Merry had a home safe from the dangers of the streets. Their life wasn’t perfect, but they were safe but that changed when their owner moved to a different city and sent them off to the government shelter, a death sentence for young puppies. Thankfully, we were informed were able to intervene. Pippin is a timid dog, scared of the outside world and strangers, but when he feels safe, he is such a sweet boy! Always happy and up for cuddles, he is a joy to have around. He is very playful and loves to play with other dogs of all shapes & sizes, and will happily prance around you trying to get you to play. Pippin is 3 yrs old (Dec 24), small (approx 13kg) and has crooked back legs, probably a result of nutritional deficiency as a puppy. His legs do not require treatment, and he is able to move, run and play without difficulty. Shy around strangers, especially men, when people come into his kennel, he will hang back and observe them. If he feels stressed, he may bark, but curiosity soon gets the better of him, and he will soon come up for a sniff. It doesn’t take long for him to feel comfortable enough to try to get people to play and cuddle! Although Pippin feels very comfortable in the enclosure, new environments can scare him. He walks well on the lead with a harness and enjoys walks, but can sometimes get spooked so will need a quiet, calm, stable home with a patient family who can offer lots of guidance to build up his confidence. In return, his family will get the sweetest, happiest boy, who will bring lots of joy to their home! Visit our website www.rehome-a-rescue-dog.co.uk for more info. 🐾

On could spare a few pounds to help us to keep rescuing mutts in Turkey? Dogs are being persecuted on the streets and since the ‘Massacre Law” was passed in July it’s been even worse. We need your support to help us to keep rescuing these poor dogs who through no fault of their own are suffering the most horrific abuse.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE OUR DOGS!

➡️Your share could make the difference between being out in the cold and living in a warm, comfortable home for a Turkish stray this winter⬅️

As a rescuer in Turkey, winter is always tough.. No dog deserves to have to live on the streets in the rain and the cold and you want to help them all so badly.. I have just spent the whole evening listening to the sound of a torrential downpour, feeling so guilty for being safe, dry and warm in my house, whilst hundreds of dogs are suffering on the streets..
But as long as popple are adopting, there is hope! all it takes is one more person opening their home to a Turkish stray for life to be completely transformed for that one lucky dog!

Please share our available dogs far and wide! Your share could lead to one more dog never having to live through another winter without a home ever again!

Maddie was living on the streets trying to survive in the summer of 2024, only a young dog who had appeared from nowhere, probably abandoned in an area which has seen many dogs dumped. She was surviving only with the help of locals feeding her and watching out for her, unfortunately the streets were no place for a lovely young dog like Maddie, especially with the dangerous situation for street dogs and when an English man, living locally, was seen throwing stones at her and taking pictures, we knew she was in imminent danger of being collected by the shelter. AFOT stepped in as she would not have survived the gruesome shelter being such a young vulnerable dog. ��Maddie was moved into our foster care network in August 24 estimated to be 10 months old and is currently living in a sanctuary with one of our foster carers.

Maddie is a lovely dog who has just turned one year old (Nov 24), very very people friendly and gets on well with the other dogs, although she does like to be boss and only gets away with it because the other dogs know she is so young and playful - She is medium size, stocky built , a fun happy girlie who is always pleased to see you. Maddie can live as an only dog or with a resident male dog/s. She has not been cat tested. ��As Maddie is still a young dog she will benefit from some training although her recall is really good and she walks well on the lead.

Maddie was neutered when she came into our care and will be travel ready after Christmas. A lovely dog with a temperament to match. More info on how to apply - https://rehome-a-rescue-dog.co.uk/home/our-dogs/magnificent-maddie-rescued-from-abuse-is-one-of-the-sweetest-of-girlies/
