Cute and cuddly right! We should support The Greyhound Sanctuary to keep them this way…



Hello, I would firstly like to thank you for taking an interest in my blog. I am advocating The Greyhound Sanctuary, a small charity with one aim in mind. To rescue and rehome abandoned, abused or unwanted greyhounds.

The dogs they help are often found in poor conditions, and only pull through because of the care that The Greyhound Sanctuary can give to them.  Tens of thousands of dogs are disposed of every year by the British greyhound racing industry - because they fail to meet the standards as racers or when their racing days are over. Bobbi was one of these. She had been suffering and tolerating pain and hunger ever since her owner abandoned her. Her left hip was severely broken and she was so thin and weak that she was not able to go on pain killers. Bobbi was too weak to even wag her tail and was quite bewildered. Her broken and battered body had endured too much and she suffered a heart attack one day which took her.

Why should you care?
The charity  recently started in 2007, and is only able to run because of generous donations given by those who care. As more dogs are rescued, they need more money to continue running and to continue to aid these loyal dogs. Please help them by giving a donation.

Please visit the website www.thegreyhoundsanctuary.org for more information and to donate.

Firstly, I would love it if you could leave some feedback or a comment about my blog
-    Had you ever heard of The Greyhound Sanctuary before?
-    Do you now feel more informed about The Greyhound Sanctuary?
-    Would you now consider donating to The Greyhound Sanctuary in the future?
-    Would you now tell your friends to support The Greyhound Sanctuary?

I would once again like to thank you for reading!
