Emergency Winter Appeal

Save lives this winter

The long cold nights are here and we need your help to get us through the winter. These months always bring many challenges to us but this year it is more difficult than ever. At a time when our daily costs are increasing drastically, we are also receiving more pleas to help abandoned dogs like Dasher here.

Like you, we want to make sure we are still able to rescue helpless sighthounds that need us at their most vulnerable time.

Dasher was abandoned at just fourteen weeks old, along with her brother who was in very poor condition. Confused, all alone and thrown away like rubbish they were scooped up and rushed to the vets. Whilst Dasher showed signs of improvement, her brother was far too poorly and sadly didn’t make it.

We care for hundreds of greyhounds and lurchers each year who need urgent medical attention, which costs the charity thousands of pounds. These costs are usually unexpected but worth every penny to make sure we can give puppies like Dasher the life she deserves. Often the rescue dogs arrive terrified. Our team make sure they have a safe space, a cosy bed and a comforting meal. We spend a huge amount of time rebuilding their confidence after any trauma they have been through and slowly gaining their trust.

We are so glad we can be there for puppies like Dasher. We were able to find her a foster home where she can now begin to have the start in live she deserves. She has coped amazingly considering her start in life and what could have been. She is displaying natural behaviours and her playful personality is starting to shine through.

We cannot do this without your help.

Your donation will enable us to provide enrichment, a place to rest and as many snuggles as they like. You can help give rescue dogs hope again.
