We should all do something to help Damsel in Distress Dogs.
Thank you very much for spending time to look at our blog and showing interest in it. We are trying to raise awareness and help dogs that have had a bad start in life. Many people already know about Dogs Trust but very few do something to support the cause.
To the right shows a dog named Pesto, he was neglected by his family of owners and left to look after himself. This shortened his life expectancy because he didn’t know how to fend for him and the world outside was harder than being taken care of. Pesto was missing out on a good long happy life and a chance for family. His life was taken away from- just by being left on the streets by people who didn’t care enough to take him to a home if they couldn’t look after him. Pesto was found by Dogs Trust short after he was abandoned, they gave him a second chance in living a good life and a chance to forget the bad.
Pesto’s new life was made possible by someone giving a small donation to Dogs Trust so they could fund for his health needs and to pay for the people who cared for him. Dogs Trust has many volunteer workers, searching worldwide for abandoned dogs and safe homes where they can be settled down for dogs like Pesto, but they need more funds to make this possible.
Thank you again for taking your time to read our blog. Please now spend a little more time to send us a response of your thoughts about this issue. In particular it would be great if you could write a few words in answer to the following questions- and help in any way that you feel you can. Further information about this topic can be found at http://www.infomat.net/infomat/rd741/rd1/database/dogs_trust/ Please help us give these dogs a second chance.
• Have you heard about the problems abandoning a dog could cause before?
• Do you now feel more informed about the issue of abandoned dogs?
• Would you now be prepared to do any of the following to help abandoned dogs…
1. Make a donation to Dogs Trust?
2. Start or join a Fundraising campaign?
3. Sign up or receive regular information about what is going on with Dogs Trust?
4. Tell your family and Friends about Dogs Trust and try to persuade them to help in any way they can?
