Don't let the animals feel the BLUEs!



Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog about my pressure group, the Blue Cross. For those of you who don’t know, the Blue Cross is a UK- based charity that re-homes animals that have been abandoned or their owners can’t look after them anymore. They also provide treatment for pets whose owners can’t afford the cost of vet’s fees. My aim is to raise awareness of this wonderful charity and encourage you to support their cause.
The Blue Cross rescues and takes in thousands of animals every year. Some pets are taken in feeling traumatised by their previous life and abandonment that they require treatment to cure them. Others are simply given to the Blue Cross as their owners can’t look after them anymore. One example of an abandoned pet is Basil the puppy. He was found cowering under a bush and whimpering by a person walking her dogs. On a closer look, the dog owner discovered that Basil had a shoelace tightly tied around his neck, causing a badly infected gash. Luckily, he was taken to the Blue Cross Burford adoption centre where he was given treatment and TLC. Basil is now happy and healthy again. Without the Blue Cross, Basil might have died from his injuries.

With YOUR support, they can:

• Treat more pets with diseases.
• Built more shelters and clinics for pets.
• Take in more abandoned or homeless pets.
• Find more homes for pets.

I hope you will support me and my advocacy. Now would you please take some time to answer my questions? Please include your home town/country (if not UK).

1. Do you feel more informed after reading my post?
2. Would you like to find out more about the Blue Cross by going to their website www.bluecross.org.uk?
3. Will you now support my campaign by telling friends and family or making a donation?

Thank you. Jenifer
