Yesterday we undertook a big rescue and took 28 dogs in at once.
It was quite a day but thatās 28 lives saved and the first bit of giving them the life they deserve complete.
Some of these poor dogs arenāt in great condition physically, several have skin and eye issues.
Lots are still full of milk and clearly have not long had puppies and lots have clearly had lots of litters in the past.
Some are just terrified and have clearly not seen a lot in their lives.
Some were younger and donāt know life out of the sad environment they were born in to.
They all wanted reassurance and love so badly but at least thatās what theyāve got to come.
Itās a huge weight and responsibility to ensure all these dogs are correctly placed into the right forward rescues where we can guarantee they will get everything they need, both medically and emotionally and go on to have the life of love and safety they so thoroughly deserve.
It takes a lot of time, thought, liaison and organisation to make sure this happens and that they get delivered where they need to go safely.
Receiving the dogs, checking them all over, checking through paperwork, settling them all in, making arrangements and agreements with the right forward rescues for each individual dog, and sorting and funding the transport runs for so many is quite the mammoth task.
Thankfully we have an amazing network of trusted rescues that help us and itās because of them we can undertake such big operations, not to mention our incredible drivers.
Itās an honour to be able to help so many deserving dogs and warming to know they now have a chance at great lives. For me there is always an underlying sadness that they are in the position they are in and some of the trauma they are feeling just leaks into you, but that will dilute as they flourish in their new lives.
Please bear in mind these dogs are not ready for rehoming and we wont be able to respond to rehoming requests or requests to find out where they are, they are at the very start of their rescue journey and wont be ready for new homes for a while. They need to heal physically and mentally.
Our job was to get them safe, sorted and onto the very initial bit of their rescue road. They will remain will us for a short period before heading to their forward rescue spaces where the start of their new life begins.
You guys that support us make this kind of thing possible, weāre thankful. Also a big thanks to the hands on help we received yesterday, our transporters who are now all very busy this week and our network of rescues who are stepping in to help us with this lot ā¤ļø
