We have an amazing 15 runners fundraising for Starlight Barking in the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 12th April. They have each pledged to raise £500 for Lemnos Dog Shelter in Greece.

This will support some of the long-term Ghost Dogs escape the hell-hole shelter where they have been incarcerated 24/7 in the most inhumane conditions imaginable.

Donations will help pay for extensive blood tests, vaccinations, health checks and legal paperwork for some of the dogs to begin a new life a new life in the UK.

With remaining funds we will be able to make the lives of the dogs left behind a little more bearable by continuing with refurbishments to the shelter and by providing veterinary care, medication and food supplements.

Even the smallest donation is so appreciated and will go a long way to help these poor abandoned dogs while they wait to find homes.

We fully support rescue dogs everywhere but sadly in the UK many great potential adopters are turned down by rescue charities because of their age!

We believe this is a tragic waste of some great homes.

At Starlight Barking we have now re-homed hundreds of dogs to wonderful people of a certain age who were unable to adopt in the UK but have provided the most loving homes for our dogs who previously had no hope.

Thank you for caring and please continue to support our mission.
