We’ve done it! We’ve raised the £5,000 needed for Conker and her friends Mable, Penelope and Bella in just 17 hours.

We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and for helping us raise this money so quickly!

Mable is recovering well from her operation and will be going to stay in a foster home for the next 7 weeks so she can recover in comfort.

Penelope is having her operation on her wound on Tuesday.

Bella is going to have her cyst removed on Monday.

Conker is doing fabulous in her foster home and we’ll keep you updated on her progress as well as all her friends.

Once again – THANK YOU!

In just four days, we have been faced with a crisis.

Little Conker, a 10-week-old tan terrier arrived with us earlier this week and might need reconstructive surgery after her right ear was removed with a pair of scissors.

Now we need to tell you about three of Conker’s friends – Penelope, Bella and Mable – in the hope that you will be able to help us.

A member of the public found Mable by the side of the road. She was whimpering and in terrible pain. The poor dog was unable to walk, and had clearly been hit by a car.

She was brought to our Godmanchester Centre and X-rays revealed she had dislocated her hip. We had no other option but to refer her for specialist surgery so a pin could be inserted into her hip.

Penelope, a three-year-old tabby, was brought to our Heydon Centre in terrible pain after being found with her front leg trapped in her collar. The collar has left a very sore open wound which will only heal with specialist surgery.

And just today Bella, a one-year-old Basset Hound found herself at Wood Green through no fault of her own or that of her previous owners. She too is in pain and discomfort with a very rare ocular dermoid cyst growing out of her eye. Again, poor Bella needs extremely specialist surgery to remove this.

All of Conker’s friends need these operations urgently. Without them, their welfare could be compromised.

Whilst we do have funding for operations, our resources are very limited. The total cost of Conker, Bella, Mable and Penelope’s operations and care is going to be in excess of £5,000.

To ensure the future of all these animals and others like them, we urgently need donations from our supporters to help us fund these operations.
