Story

Hi there , I am looking to raise some money for West Wales Poundies. I am doing this in memory of our special rescue dog “Buster” .  Sadly he is no longer with us in reality but in our hearts. Starting on the 19th March Louise and I will be challenging ourselves to run/ walk/ crawl 4 miles every 4 hrs within a 48 hr period. Meaning running 4 miles 12 times. Everyone will have seen the news regarding the massive increase in dogs being bought and then abandoned during the COVID  crises. WWP do fantastic work in ensuring they can re-home  as may dogs as possible. Personally we have benefited from having two fantastic dogs from them. 

Did you know that stray dogs in the council pounds only have 7 days to be claimed before they are destroyed? Yes it's a shocking fact and maybe I should have said euthanised but these are no mercy killings, these poor souls are killed as they are unwanted. This is the reason that WWP started 12 years ago as the founder Lianne Evan's could not sit back and do nothing to help them. The rescue initially started as a staffie rescue but over the years we have had all breeds , shapes and sizes through the doors as we don't leave any dogs to this fate in the 3 local council pounds . In the past we have boarded the dogs in local private boarding kennels but it has always been our dream to own our own . We at WWP are all volunteers and whilst we are saving for the kennels we still need to pay the normal bills , vet, boarding, transport etc so we are asking for your help . No amount is too small as it all adds up . Please can you help us?
