Story
Hi Everyone
This is my chance to try to help a fantastic lady called Maria who looks after over 350 dogs in the ville shelter in Bacau in Romania!
Many of my friends are currently raising funds for 'safehouses' for these dogs. The safehouses, which are they are trying to build, are self supporting structures, 6 meters long with a concrete floor ,this 'house' helps to resist the snow cold rain and heat. Keeping the dogs from freezing in the severe conditions. As some of the dogs are either very old or are very young puppies without these shelters they will not all make it through the harsh winter.
They need 6-10 of these houses to keep the dogs safe and dry as the temperatures are now -20C and the severe snow conditions as seen in the pictures.
My friends are constantly trying to raise funds, so I would like to try to help and raise the funds which are needed, £695, to build one of these homes!
so my friends and family if you can help me that will fantastic this is something close to my heart!
Every day I try to pick a couple of Maria's dogs for adoption from her facebook page and share them to try to help; as sharing is caring, and I am always just hoping one catches someones eye and that dog might get the home they so deserve!
I know there are charities in the UK and they all need help but I also believe that a dog in need is a dog in need of help and support wherever they are in the world.
The Ville shelter looks after the abandoned and homeless dogs of Bacau. They care for over 350 dogs with very limited funds. They rely solely on donations and the raising of the awareness of the conditions of them.
By raising their profile on social media I ham hoping we can get the shelters built whilst the weather is still severe.
Please donate a few pounds or share the page. If it is shared 350 times and every person donated £2 then we would reach our target!!
