Story
Little Betty and Bella have been abandoned outside a church in a village in Corfu, it is believed they were originally found in a rubbish bin. Gemma, a kindly local heard about them and has been giving them food and trying to keep them safe. Sadly other villagers have not been so kind and have been removing the food hoping that the puppies would disappear. Rescues on the island have been contacted but sadly they are all overflowing with puppies and adults in need of homes.
We were alerted to their plight via Facebook and just couldnt turn away, so Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue have offered our help to these two little ones. We know that once they reach our care in the UK they will be guaranteed 5* homes.
Gemma has been able to get the puppies to safety today (15/09/17) and has been able to secure them temporary accommodation with CARE (Corfu Animal Rescue) whilst all the necessary vaccinations, microchips etc are carried out and passports issued, this will take a few weeks.
Costs of the vacs, chip and passport will cost £90 per puppy, the transport cost to the UK will be approximately £350 each - a lot of money but we feel they are worth it. Apparently stray dogs on the island run the risk of being poisoned at the end of the holiday season, we cant let this happen to these two.
Please help Betty and Bella to live the life they deserve, every £1.00 donated will make such a difference to their future.

7 years agoExciting news!!!!!, thanks to all you wonderful people, our friends in Corfu and Cuddle Monster (Ludo) for his paypal donation of £50.00 We have raised the necessary funds to bring the puppies over. They arrive next Friday 6th October at Manchester Airport. Initially they will go into a foster home together for assessment and then we can start looking for wonderful homes for them both. This rescue would not have been possible without your support. Huge thanks to Gemma who got them to safety, CARE Rescue and ARK Rescue for making it happen.

7 years agoThank you everyone who has donated so far, we are so very grateful to you, we are well on the way to having the funds to cover the cost of bringing these little ones to the UK. The puppies have now started on their vaccination courses and will be able to travel from around the middle of October. We have decided to send them by plane rather than the overland trip, which takes 3 days, as we feel this will be far less stressful for them. Its a little more expensive but not a great deal so worth the cost. .
