Hero Paws is an amazing organisation. They aim to build a sanctuary for retired service dogs, to rehabilitate and re-home. Dogs unable to be rehomed will be given a happy retirement at the sanctuary.

These dogs served this country, now it's our turn to help them, to provide for them and to show them the love and respect they deserve.

I am asking that instead of buying me a card that will go in a bin after a week, instead of buying that stamp to post that card, please donate that couple of quid instead. If you were going to by me a birthday present, please donate the money instead. This would mean far more to me than a card or present.
