Hi All
First of all, we wanted to thank everyone for helping us to get Little Panda and Maisy over to the UK to their lovely foster homes. You can find here a couple pictures of them enjoying life and being so grateful to everyone who donated, shared, liked and commented to help us get there. The whole team in Romania and in the UK are also so thankful for all the support and the kind words that cheered them on to their life-changing journey.
But, this is not all we want to share with you today. We have managed to secure foster placements for another 3 dogs to come to the UK in 10 days, ahead of the big freeze over in Romania. The lucky ones this time are:
• Jon
• Sophia
• Katie
We need your help again to cover the cost of their ticket (their pics are on this post) to their happy ever after. They have been waiting for so long and we are desperately trying to get them out of the shelter and into warm homes were they can get a little experience and training to get themselves ready for the unconditional love we know it’s out there for them. The cost of the ticket for them is £360 each, so £1,080 in total.
And, that’s not all of it! We managed to secure a place for another 4 beautiful dogs to travel at the beginning of December to a wonderful shelter in the UK where they will get human interaction, training, long walks and assessment from qualified wonderful people in the UK. The 4 lucky pooches are:
• Wendy
• Tristan
• Jerry
• Hugo
For them to travel, we will need to raise £1,890 to cover their tickets at £360 each and the £450 cost to build of a large pen, which will then be used over and over again for more of our dogs to travel there once these 4 beauties are rehomed.
We can hear you asking “what more?” and, well, we saved the best little nugget till the end! Tahoe, who is now 6 and has been with us since 2018 has finally been spotted by one of our lovely fosters who have offered him a spot on their sofa and to share the bed with their lovely pack! We could not be any happier and it does fill our hearts with hope that we can find a home for those poor little souls who have been overlooked for so long. His picture is on this post and he is a real beauty, isn’t he? Well, we need help with the ticket for him on the happy bus please, which is £360.
We know we are asking for a lot, and we know times are hard for everyone. The festive season is coming up and while many of us in the UK will have an opportunity to see their families and friends, a lot of dogs will be in shelters in Romania, not knowing how good they could have it over here. We would love for you to get a beautiful present for these 8 wonderful dogs and give them a chance to find happiness and love in warm and kind homes. Please, give them hope.
Even £1 helps and we are grateful for anything you can spare please. If you cannot donate, please share, like, comment, help us spread the word.
