Story
What Ho! I am Calling on all my friends to support a worthy charity I am fundraising for.
I have the honour to run the Great South Run in Portsmouth for Greyhound Rescue Wales and I am running this in 10 mile Run to raise money for this amazing rescue charity.
About this amazing charity
It costs an average of £150 to rescue one dog, and this just covers the basics: neutering, vaccination, micro-chipping, lead, collar, muzzle and tag; it does not include other costs such as boarding. This means that GRW makes a ‘loss’ on every dog we home.
It costs on average £15/day to keep a dog at Hillcrest. Our vets costs for last year were in excess of £45,000.
We have homed 85 dogs in the last 12 months
We normally have between 12 and 15 dogs at the kennels and around 8 dogs in foster and 8 in permanent foster (won’t be adopted and stay with their fosterers permanently)
It costs about £450,000 to keep GRW running each year (and less than 6% is in ‘overheads’)
Please donate on my Just Giving Page and I am asking everyone to donate what ever they can, our target is £150 and every little helps.
