Puppies taking priority

By Sarah Bergs | Project Leader

Nursing the newborns
Nursing the newborns

These last few weeks and months have been tough --- as funding has been quite slow. We also had the added expense of PUPPIES. We found a bag of discarded new born puppies, and one of our staff decided to rescue it ( proof that our animal kindess campaign is working, so thats good) 

 

however finding a bag of 7 puppies is no small deal... two died in the first 24 hours from the sheer exposure and being squashed in a bag and thrown away overnight... 5 however survived. needing every 3 hours feeding, and having closed ears and eyes, thats how young and vulnerable they were. So this has been priority, feeding, keeping alive and raising these 5 puppies, called Survivor, Houdini, Moana, Joey and Batman... 

 

We have still continued our sterilization campaign albei slowly--- but finding bags of puppies like this make me realise more than  ever the IMPORTANCE of sterilizing to prevent unwanted ( and unaffordable ) puppies. You cant always blame the people who throw away their dogs, this isnt a decision they might have made lightly.. but when your living on the breadline, the idea of 7 more puppie is an imposssibiliy. Its your families food, or your dogs.. thats why the funding and ongoing support for our campaign to support this community in sterilizing their dogs, and educating is so so important. 

 

thank you as ever for everyone who HAS funded and follows our progress!
