Our Story
The Max & George Trust was set up in 2016 after Max sadly and unexpectedly died from Leishmaniasis (Leish). Max and George were both rescued from awful situations in Spain and it was discovered they had Leish. Leish is relatively unheard of in the UK and therefore treatment is very expensive and some UK vets have little or no experience in dealing with the disease compared to vets in Countries where Leish is prevalent. The Trust aims to help other dog owners here in the UK that have animals affected by the disease in anyway it can, including support, treatment plans, treatment costs and emergency care when needed. We are supported by two incredibly amazing vets who are both very experienced in treating the disease.
We also rescue dogs that are in desperate need of help regardless of where they come from, be it the UK or abroad. Many of the dogs we have rescued would have been put to sleep if we had not stepped in, or, needed urgent medical attention as in the case of Charlie who had been shot and was living in a shelter the bullet still in his leg or Domino who would have been put to sleep here in the UK just because of his age through no fault of his owner.
We want to continue to support dogs with Leish and rescue more animals in dire need but to do that we need help. You can help us continue our work in many ways, such as by donation, buying a personalised gift from us, doing your normal everyday shopping using our cashback card so we get cashback as well as you, becoming a fosterer or even adopting. You could even hold fundraisers for us like a coffee morning because every little helps and here’s a really easy thing you can do to help...... just share our FB page with your friends & family. Helping us get more support and likes might just end up saving a dogs life! However, you choose to support us, thank you ###
