CHRISTMAS APPEAL FOR JACOBS POUNDIES’S

People who support us and our Poundies at Jacobs have been incredibly generous this year through pledges for specific dogs so that they go to their rescue with a piggy bank, monthly donations, selling items on eBay and donating the money and playing the weekly bonus ball. Not to mention transporting, sharing and cross posting the Poundies. I hope I haven’t missed anything.

We and the Poundies are eternally grateful for everyone’s efforts. However, it is coming up to Christmas and we would like to give each of the Poundies a little Christmas stocking.

So once again we asking for a donation towards us being able to buy these for the Poundies, we looked at all different ways of doing this but because we don’t know what dogs will be in the best way was for us to ask for donations and Sharon Strafford has offered to buy what is appropriate for each dog we have in, that will be in the Pound for Christmas.

Donations can be made via our PayPal which is:

[email protected] via the friends and family option, PLEASE MARK IT CHRISTMAS

Or via the bank account, you will need to message me, as I cannot see what a payment is for, the details are:

Account Name: Jacobs Pound Dogs
Sort Code: 07-15-20
Account No: 54868831

Due to the two-step verification, you will get an error message saying that the details are not recognised and may not reach the account. Please ignore this and go ahead as we have tested it, and it will go through.

THANK YOU FROM THE POUNDIES AND THE JACOBS TEAM

***AUGUST FUNDRAISING APPEAL ***

Thank you to those who have donated and honoured their monthly donations. The weeks are still just as crazy and as we move one Poundie out it feels like another two come in.

We have been incredibly fortunate with a donation that enabled us to clear out outstanding bills! However, with the number of dogs that are coming in we need to keep fundraising.

In the spirit of transparency, our balances are:

Bank Account: £50.85

PayPal Account: £199.31

Total funds as @11.08.2024 are £ 250.16

Our current bills are:

Kennel bill £ 300.00

Transport - estimated for August - £525.00

The Total Needed to keep us functioning £825.00

Minus funds as @11.08.2024 -£574.84

WE NEED TO RAISE £574.84

There is no easy way to say this if we do not raise £574.84, we cannot keep going and dogs will die. The Team (like most rescues/pound pullers) is on their knees and none of us want to stop but we cannot carry on without funds.

We know that times are tough for everyone but please consider even a £1 because every penny really does help. We know we say this every time we appeal but here goes again!

A £1 pledge every month from 5% of our +35,000 members of our pages would go a long way to keeping Jacobs Pound Dogs UK afloat and 10% pledges of these would enable us to continue and not have to worry or beg people for money each month.

Our featured dogs are Gunner, Stan & Bluebell (was Charles! Who turned out to be a girl not a boy) who are safe in rescue but would be dead by now without your support.

Donations can be made via:

PayPal, the address is [email protected] via the friends and family option otherwise we pay fees!

We can now accept payments via a bank account, the details are:

Account Name: Jacobs Pound Dogs

Sort Code: 07-15-20

Account No: 54868831

Due to the two-step verification, you will get an error message saying that the details are not recognised and may not reach the account. Please ignore this and go ahead as we have tested it, and it will go through.

***JUNE FUNDRAISING APPEAL – UPDATE 11th JUNE 2024***

In the spirit of transparency our balances are:

Bank Account: £3.04

Total funds as @11.06.2024 £202.02

Total Needed to keep us functioning £772.00

Minus funds as @11.06.2023 -£202.02

WE NEED TO RAISE £568.98

There is no easy way to say this if we don’t raise £568.98, we cannot keep going and dogs will die. The Team (like most rescues / pound pullers) is on their knees and none of us want to stop but we cannot carry on without funds. We also have our annual insurance due later this month which is £700!

We know that times are tough for everyone but please consider even a £1 because every penny really does help. We know we say this every time we appeal but here goes again!

A £1 pledge every month from 5% of our +35,000 members of our pages would go a long way to keeping Jacobs Pound Dogs UK afloat and 10% pledges of these would enable us to continue and not have to worry or beg people for money each month.

***JUNE FUNDRAISING APPEAL - UPDATE***

***JUNE FUNDRAISING APPEAL***
The Jacobs team would like to thank those who have set up a monthly donation and those who have donated to each of our recent appeals and GoFundMe’s together with those who play our weekly bonus ball and those who support our auctions.
A big shout out to the rescues that despite being full, somehow manage to squeeze another Poundie in to save their lives and to the transporters who regularly drop everything to get a Poundie to safety.
Unfortunately, due to the number of dogs coming into the pound, we will appeal each month until our debts are paid and we no longer need emergency boarding kennels. As it stands today 30th May our financial situation is:

Outstanding bills £ 849
Emergency kennel bills £ 600
Transport - estimated for June £ 400

Total needed for June 2024 £1865.00

The last appeal launched at the end of April raised £1567.14 thank you from the team.

Once again, we are asking you to give a little something and we know we say this every time, but we have +35,000 members across our pages. A £1 pledge every month from 5% would go a long way to keeping Jacobs Pound Dogs UK afloat and 10% pledges would enable us to continue and not have to worry or beg people for money each month.

Our featured dogs for June are, Maggie – was Walter…Specsavers visit needed! Marvin on his way to emergency boarding it was that or PTS! A delighted Rory who has already gone to a foster home and Nellie has her paws well under her foster home's table.

Thank you to everyone that has donated to our April Appeal. The total raised so far is £1099.14, so we still have £1314.00 to raise to clear our vet bills, pay April's kennel fees and have enough left to cover transport for May.
We say this every appeal but.... we only need 1314 of our members to donate a £1 and we will be safe for May and clear of debts.
Once again thank you to everyone who has donated and set up monthly standing orders. Can you please keep sharing?
Thank you from the Jacobs Team and the Poundies.

**URGENT APPEAL FOR FUNDS**

Thank you to everyone who donated in March and pledged a monthly amount. There is no easy way to say this, but we are about to run out of money. In the spirit of transparency, our PayPal balance is £58.90, and the bank is £15.00.

We owe £725 for vet’s bills, our kennel bills (these have reduced as dogs have gone to rescue) are £700 and we need £1000 to cover our transport costs for May. We need a total of £2413.14 to continue to run Jacobs Pound Dogs for the next month. Without it we are going to have to stop helping the Poundies, this is not a scare tactic it is the harsh truth.

We know that every rescue is in the same position, and we are grateful to the transporters who don’t claim fuel, to the rescues that cover the transport costs and to everyone who supports us.

To stop helping the Poundies is not what any of us want but this is the situation we find ourselves in. Once again, we are asking you to give a little something and we know we say this every time, but we have +35,000 members across our pages. A £1 pledge every month from 10% of these would enable us to continue and not have to worry or beg people for money each month.

Our featured dogs are Bubbles on her freedom ride, and Max arriving at his rescue. Without your support, these dogs would not be alive.

Payment details are:

PayPal, the address is [email protected] via the friends and family option, please put a note on April Appeal.

****MARCH APPEAL UPDATE**** 7th April2024

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and pledged a monthly amount. So far, we have raised £1057.00 which means we still need £978.00 to clear our remaining outstanding bills we know it is a big ask but the hard truth is without funds, we cannot carry on helping these Poundies.

So far, we have 6 people who have pledged monthly donations. This will help but our emergency kennel bills are running at £900 a month (this has reduced from £1200) our transport costs are around +£1000 a month, without any vaccinations, spays, neutering or unforeseen medical bills.

We are begging you to pledge (if you haven’t done so already) £1 a month, we only need 978 members to pledge for the March appeal and our outstanding bills will be cleared.

Now we have a bank account we can also accept standing orders. A £1 per month from 10% of members of each page on each page would give us £3535 to continue helping the Poundies, meaning we can place Poundies into Emergency Boarding rather than let them die.

Payment details are:

PayPal, the address is [email protected] via the friends and family option, please put a note on March Appeal.

****BEYOND URGENT APPEAL**** UPDATE 2nd April2024

Thank you to everyone that has already donated and pledged a monthly amount. I have thanked all of those that have donated via PayPal but cannot individually thank those that have donated via the bank account.

So far, we have raised £1057.00 which means we still need £978.00 to clear all of our outstanding bills by the end of this week, at the very latest. I know it is a big ask but the hard truth is without funds, we cannot carry on helping these Poundies.

The featured dogs are Kelcy, Star and Chloe all of whom are doing amazingly well, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Now we have a bank account we can also accept standing orders a £1 per month from each page would give us £! I know that some of you belong to all of our pages so if only 10% donated £1 per month we would have £3535 to continue helping the Poundies. So far we have 6 people who have pledged monthly donations.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and pledged a monthly amount. I have thanked all of those who have donated via PayPal but cannot individually thank those who have donated via the bank account.
So far, we have raised £805.00 which means we still need £1230 to clear all of our outstanding bills by the end of this week, at the very latest. I know it is a big ask and with the number of members we have on each of the pages a donation of the price of a coffee will set us up for March and April.
Now we have a bank account we can also accept standing orders a £1 per month from each page would give us £! I know that some of you belong to all of our pages so if only 10% donated £1 per month we would have £3535 to continue helping the Poundies.

WHY ARE WE APPEALING YET AGAIN?
Because the hard truth is without funds we cannot carry on helping these Poundies.

26/03/2024

****BEYOND URGENT APPEAL****
I am not really sure where to start, as it seems all that we at Jacobs Pound Dogs is doing these days is appealing for funds. We as a team at Jacobs are really at our wits end but the hard truth is without some more funds coming in over the next week or two, we are not going to be able to continue which means we will face the Poundies being PTS. The recent auction was a great help raising £600 which has quickly been used on transport fees.
We need £2035 by the end of the month to cover our emergency boarding fees, transport costs, spaying, neutering, vaccinations and chipping and the remaining amount that we owe on Kelcy and Star’s operations. It is a big ask and with the number of members we have on each of the pages a donation of the price of a coffee will set us up for March and April. We know how hard things are for everyone and appreciate all of your support.
Now we have a bank account we can also accept standing orders a £1 per month from each page would give us £35,355! I know that some of you belong to all of our pages so if only 10% donated £1 per month we would have £3535 to continue helping the Poundies.

WHY ARE WE APPEALING YET AGAIN?
The sheer number of dogs in the Pound – what more can I say? Never have we seen so many dogs being abandoned. We find it hard to understand how an owner could do this unfortunately this doesn’t apply to every dog owner.
Transport costs – have gone through the roof, due to the distance that we are having to send dogs as there simply are not any spaces at local rescues. Please don’t get me wrong, all of the local rescues would help if they could, but they are full.
Emergency Boarding fees – these are currently £1200 per month, that is not a lot for some rescues, but we are not a rescue. We are Pound Pullers who rely on the rescues to take the dogs. So rather than have the dogs PTS we have placed them in emergency boarding, whilst desperately trying to find them spaces. This will soon reduce as we have spaces in the pipeline but that is in the future.
Medical fees – two of our dogs in emergency boarding had medical needs, quite probably why they were dumped. These are Kelcy and Star and yes, we have been running a GoFundMe but have not raised enough to cover everything. All of their medical needs have been addressed but we still have bills outstanding.
We are putting together a fundraising strategy so that if we survive, we will be in a better place financially.
We appreciate all of the support that has been given to us over the years and hate to have to ask you to help us again. Apologies for the long post!

**URGENT HELP NEEDED...STILL** UPDATE ON OUR GIRLS
Kelcy and Star have had enquiries, but nothing has come of them yet. If a suitable home is found they will go out on spaying contracts as it is better for them to settle into their new home environment as soon as they can.
Meanwhile, we have received the Vets estimate for their treatment. They have given us a great rate but we still need to raise some more funds to pay for this. We are sorry to have to ask again as we know how hard things are for everyone at the moment and how generous you have all been.

** URGENT HELP NEEDED**
Update on Kelcy and Star
They are both settling well, are starting to be socialised with other dogs and like many Poundies are great dogs, whose owners did not deserve them.
They both had their full vet checks yesterday and there are no major concerns. However, this generated the estimated costs for their spays, Star's double cherry eye operation and the removal of a small lump from Kelcy. The estimate is £1500 which sounds a lot but considering what is involved it really isn't especially compared to what some vets charge.
So here I am again with my begging bowl out as we do not have enough funds to cover this at the moment. We knew this would be a big ask when we took the girls on but we couldn't do it without the support of you guys. We also know that things are tough for everyone at the moment, so can you please keep sharing as it does generate donations.
You can also donate via our Paypal account - [email protected] via the friends and family option please quote Kelcy and Star on your payments.
