I know I post about this fundraiser constantly, but money doesn't raise itself. Animals in need pop every single day for Shelter Friend - Ukraine. and Every Life Counts Rescue and the only way they can help them is through donations. I try my best to raise as much as I can and bring you some great fundraisers because knowing that the money goes towards saving lives is worth it. It takes me hours on end to prepare these fundraisers and more to actually raise the money, but it's nothing compared to what these rescues do. But they're worth every hour, every penny, and every "unfollow" or critical comment.
Please help us to support these 2 fantastic rescues. Your donations will contribute to the surgeries and care that these dogs need to survive. We've raised £500 for these guys already, but we can do more!
We're currently £25 away from reaching £1050. Can we get there this week?
PLUS, if we can raise £1500 in this fundraiser, any donations over the £1.5k mark will go to a charity of YOUR choice. But, we have to get there first.

These are just a couple of their recent rescues.
Photo 1: This soldier fighting on the Ukrainian side found these puppies with their mother sheltering in a destroyed building on the front line. Bravely, he went in and rescued them, and they're now with Shelter Friend. There's 16 puppies!
Photo 2: Another young dog who is now with Shelter Friend. Because their electricity only works for a few hours a day, they couldn't get this poor pop x-rayed until it was back on, so they had to give her first aid and wait. Sadly, she has 2 broken legs and broken hips and was left to die. Shelter Friend have taken in many disabled dogs who are now walking again. Could this pup be one of them?
Photo 3: Yet again, more puppies! They were found alone in an open field, starving, freezing, and being too young, they were unable to help themselves. ELC took them in, but they're already drowning in vet bills, food bills and preparations for winter. They're desperate for our help.
