MUCH NEEDED HELP
Yet again Bee and her husband come to the rescue. Bee has joined our small team of dog walkers. Our doggies little faces say it all when they see the dog lead coming towards them. The funds we raised are much needed to help the dogs we rescue so it's fantastic news when Bill offered his services to render the kennels walls as we normally have to pay some one because volunteers are hard to find. Bill has now finished one of the the small walls in one of our nine kennels at the sanctuary.

Walls erected at our santuary
The much needed new sides are being erected at our santuary. This is more higinic and better protection for our dogs. Funds have to be found for materials and for 2 men for 4 days as volunteers are few and far between.

August 2010 - Many thanks to Joann & Brian Parsons for the donation lots of aviary panels to help the animals. Due to the amount of homeless cats, we are converting these panels into 3 temporary catteries adjoining our existing one at home, which we hope they will be ready to be used by mid August. As we have not been able to get volunteers or free materials, we will be using part of the funds raised at the Rock N' Roll evening by T.O.P.S. to pay for the labour and materials needed to finish this new project. |

We have managed to purchase at a reduced rate a second hand caravan as lodging for someone at the kennels. We need to raise funds towards the caravan and kennels (see kennels below).
Are you looking for accommodation and something to do with your spare time?
We offer free lodgings in a caravan in exchange for looking after the Dogs & Cats in our small kennels? Telephone 616 094 034
