Story
Please help us rescue this beautiful young dog.
Having just visited Mauritius we were horrified to see first hand the plight of the stray dogs who are unfortunate enough to have been born there.
Around the public areas of our hotel there were 4 or 5 regular dogs who could be found on the beach or venturing around the pool. As real dog lovers we fed the dogs and quickly formed a bond with one dog in particular who followed and stayed with us throughout our holiday.
Sadly she has been captured by the hotel and taken to a cage within the hotel grounds. She now faces an uncertain future and we are in contact with the local animal charity on the island PAWS, who have told us of the plight of some of the dogs on the island. (A quick Google will show what we were told)
We are in contact with the hotel to check on the welfare of the dog and they have assured us that they are doing the best they can under the circumstances , but given what we have been told about the plight of stray animals in this situation we need to rescue her and bring her to the UK where we will take her in along with our current rescue dog Rodney.
We have set this page up to raise funds to contribute towards her vaccinations and the costs of travel over to the UK.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
Please donate what you can.
Thank you
Merion and Andrew

7 years agoHi All! I've just amended the total to £2000 rather than £2500 as was originally quoted. I have since been told it will be just over £2000-so we're closer to the target than we thought!
