In a country like Jamaica where the cost of living is high, and wages extremely low it is no wonder animals often become secondary to the demanding needs of the family. Many dogs are feral and live off scraps thrown to them from tourists or their owners. Vet fees are expensive and so most animals go untreated resulting in often terrible infections and death.

Although attitudes to animals are very slowly changing it isn't happening fast enough for animals. There are old animal welfare laws in place in Jamaica but many animal abusers go unpunished as these laws are rarely enforced.

I am raising money to ship food supplies (horse, dog, cat) collars, leads and cages for transportation. Horse equipment to include numnahs, buckets, reins, head collars, grooming equipment etc

I have recently shipped two barrels to Jamaica full with supplies but it will not be enough as I also want to distribute some in the community and set up feeding stations. Once I am resident in Jamaica I plan to create a sanctuary on our land for neglected and injured animals. A safe haven where animals can just live free from harm and not wonder when they will next see a meal.

Racehorses in Kingston are abandoned somewhere in Portmore when they no longer serve the purpose of making their owners lots of $s. I want to create space for at least two horses that can spend their post- racing days in peace surrounded with love

A 15kg-20kg bag of dried dog food is approximately £40.00 in Jamaica. When purchased in bulk I can pay approximately £8.00 for 15kg bag UK. This cost id far too high for the average working Jamaican.

it doesn't matter how small your donation is because it only costs between 30p-40p to feed a small to medium dog in Jamaica so donating as little as £2.80 will feed a small to medium sized dog for one week.
