‼️WE ARE STRUGGLING‼️

Like most rescues at the moment we are really struggling - we really do need everyone’s help and support otherwise we are going to have to start making some very difficult decisions 💔

Our appeals are barely getting funded and with costs going up we cannot continue to rescue dogs without raising the full funds.

We have committed to a travel for pups leaving Bosnia as we wanted them traveled asap so they didn’t grow up in kennels / shelters but this invoice is due today and we don’t have the funds 💔

We have rescuers chasing us daily for funds as we have have dropped behind with pensions for our dogs💔

We have vet bills due for unsponsored dogs💔

This has all stacked up on us and we are feeling completely overwhelmed 💔

We are desperately trying to get dogs into homes, to reduce the number of overseas dogs we have waiting, to reduce the amount of dogs in kennels in the UK, we are trying to find homes for longtermers stuck, trying to find sponsors, fosters etc.

It feels like a relentless task and although the numbers are improving it’s just not happening quick enough for us financially to lessen the burden yet.

We have 18 THOUSAND followers ON X, nearly 24 THOUSAND members on Facebook, but its always the same small amount support us❤️‍🩹

So we are begging everyone if you see this post and are able to donate so we can continue to help the dogs please please donate. 50p or £1 or whatever you can afford from everyone is all it takes, we need everyone’s support to continue going❤️‍🩹

If you are unable to donate there are still ways you can help us! Like our posts, share our adoption posts, spread the word to anyone you know looking to adopt a dog, maybe you can donate a prize we can fundraise with, shop via easy fundraising, vote for free to just giving circle. Every single share / like / vote helps ♥️

Please if you can help us continue to save and support dogs please use Ref: HELP❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹💔Update on our 2 retreiver girls 💔❤️‍🩹

Both girls have been moved to the shelter, the lighter one has been named Maggie and sadly has heartworm so has started her treatment.

The red one named Lottie is disease free🥰

Both are a little skinny under all their floof but at least are safe now ❤️‍🩹

We are still short on fully funding one of the girls so if anyone can help please use Ref: GIRLS.

Thank you so much everyone who has donated so we could keep these girls safe 💖💖

🚨 WE ARE STUCK , AND WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP 🚨

Right now, we cannot move any further forward with our new kennel project without your support. 💔

We have a brand new kennel block waiting to be delivered and installed, which means more dogs can finally come into safety and receive the help they desperately need.

We completely understand that times are incredibly hard for everyone and donating isn’t always easy right now. But we are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, if you could spare even just £1, it truly would make a huge difference. 🙏

So far we have:
✅ Bought the rebar and groundwork materials
✅ Installed the drainage
✅ Prepared the site ready for concrete
But now we’ve hit a wall…
The cost of materials has risen massively and we urgently need funding for:
🔸 Two swivel dumpers
🔸 Concrete for the base
Once the concrete is down, we can finally bring the company in to install the kennel block and open our doors to so many more dogs crying out for help.

Every share, every donation, every bit of support matters more than you know.

Please help us keep going.
Please help us build a safe place for dogs with nowhere else to turn. ❤️
🐾 £1 can help change a life
🐾 Sharing this post could reach someone who can help
Thank you for standing with us always.

I can't tell you how sad I am. We began our journey here when the platform was thriving & our work was being seen. We've had a 60% drop in reach in recent months, same audience, same content. We have to go to places willing to allow our dogs to be seen. So sorry 😢

[Dog Desk Animal Action @DogDeskAction]

From 1 May, our posts about the dogs will be infrequent on X.

They deserve to be seen, and that isn’t happening here following recent algorithm changes which favour high-engagement, quick-scroll content from large accounts.
We are very sad that it has come to this.

‼️ Urgent ‼️

We have one day left of food for our Sanctuary.
We have been using our VIP lifelines that people donate to via pets at home to be supplying our food but we’ve now used all our vouchers up.

We are in desperate need of wagg dried food , wet puppy food, wet adult food please any assistance would help us immensely we have approximately 80 Dogs that we are caring for so you can imagine the multitude of food that we go through.

Please see our amazon wish list below and if you could do anything to assist would be most grateful.🙏
