283 animals sterilised over seven clinic days in Sumatra! What an incredible result for Mate's Gift!
And every single person who has supported Mate’s Gift over the past year has helped make this happen.
To our wonderful Hairy Hounds Community family, we want to say a HUGE thank you!
Every raffle ticket you bought, every auction you bid on, every donation you made, every Sunday Sippers ticket, every post you liked or shared, and every time you helped spread the word. It all adds up, and look what we’ve achieved together!
You might think that buying a raffle ticket or sharing a Facebook post is only a little thing, but when hundreds of people do those little things, amazing things happen.
Behind the scenes at Hairy Hounds Playground, we’ve spent the year collecting donations, storing boxes of supplies, sorting medications, moving piles of blankets and getting everything ready to send over to Sumatra. And so much of what we’ve taken with us has come from our beautiful clients and supporters.
We’re so lucky to have a community that gets behind what we do, not just for the dogs in our care every day, but for animals on the other side of the world who need a little extra help.
And the results speak for themselves. 283 dogs and cats who will never contribute to another unwanted litter. That’s thousands of potential puppies and kittens who won’t be born into an already difficult situation.
We’ve also seen wonderful improvements in the health and wellbeing of animals in the villages we’ve been visiting, and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of.
So from all of us at Hairy Hounds Playground and Mate’s Gift, THANK YOU!
Whether you donated $5, came along to an event, bought a raffle ticket, shared a post or cheered us on from home, you’ve been part of making this happen.
We couldn’t do it without you, and we hope you’re all feeling just as proud as we are.
And we’re not finished yet! There are already plans underway to help even more animals in 2027.
