We are known to be a nation of dog lovers; sadly, many countries in Europe have adopted a policy of taking stray or abandoned dogs off the streets, putting them in kill shelters and giving a timescale of only 14 days to claim before the dogs are killed. Often this process is barbaric and the dogs rely on the goodwill of the people in their home countries plus support from independent individuals and sometimes charities based in the U.K. to save them from this terrible fate.

It costs between €20 and €45 per month on average to provide the most basic of care in foster for the dogs that are taken from the shelters. The more money raised, the more dogs can be saved and the better quality of life they can have moving forward. Every little helps; your donation is gratefully received and passed on to little lives that would otherwise be extinguished prematurely.

Together we can make that difference; today one dog, tomorrow more. Please give what you can to give a little hope in their desperate lives - they are known as man's best friends for a reason - let's do something for them today, before it's too late.
