Rescuing dogs is a never ending story. In the last few weeks, we were so happy that Cammy, Molly and Papou found loving, forever homes. 3 of our phenomenal furry friends were finally going into happy lives. From the practical point of view, it was 3 less to look after and advertise, but also new space to help some others, because there are SO MANY out there that desperately need help. As these 3 were leaving, another trio came full of ticks, with a need for socialisation: a mum with an 8-month-old daughter and a 3-month-old son and as we were preparing to tell you stories about Sadie, Blondie and Jasper, a call came to help with the search for a home for two 10-month-old sisters, who’ve been fostered for a long time and have not found homes yet. So, you’ll also meet gorgeous Chloe and Zoe these days. Then a text came to help another rescue to advertise their mixed breed Podengo pups and there come Otis, Olly and Otilia on our pages … But still Mel, Layla and Scruffy are looking for the humans of their lives … the wonderful 3 souls that just don’t get interest, even though we do know that there must be people who’d fall in love at first sight with them, just our ads have not come their way yet.
Rescue.Rehome.Repeat.Repeat.Repeat … It never stops ….Lots of work and time, pure volunteering, lots of money to cover for everything, from the vet bills to the roof above their heads, food, toys, marketing, digital platforms and apps …. all financed by private donations.
It doesn’t matter the effort. It’s all worth it when we see our 4-legged friends adopted, safe and calm in their happy places, with humans of their lives. It’s all worth it for that hug, jump and wagging tail that says, ‘I know that you are there for me and I love you too.’
We must admit that it is emotionally difficult at times. Yes, we do cry sometimes, when we can’t find a forever home for them and keep returning these wonderful beings to the paddocks after days out or walks. Yes, we do cry of happiness when we see their lives changed to the good, better, best. But they do deserve this and much more, because none of their misfortune is their own fault. It is us people who are responsible for everything that happens on this planet, so we must do what we can to protect and help our 4-legged furry friends to be a part of the society that we created.
Therefore, if you would like to volunteer occasionally or help with a donation, no help is too small: an hour a week, 10€ once in a while or giving your time to help managing the online world …. And, do not worry about the tears that I mentioned, because it's priceless to see a doggie's world change and help them start smiling for life 🐾.
