All the humans at The Sanctuary have been ailed by swine flu. Please excuse everything that seems to be at a go slow, while we all take turns feeling like we are busy ending.
But while the humans feel like the end is near, they still have responsibilities and the reality of the stress of unpaid bills is real.
We still have to pay rent, electricity and our monthly down payment towards our enclosures materials. We are sitting at a R23 000 shortfall to get bills paid.
PLEASE do consider sponsoring towards one of these unsponsored boys or girls 🙏🏼🐾
🐾 SPONSOR A RESCUED PIT BULL, OR HONORARY PIT 🐾
ALL OF THESE PRECIOUS FACES HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SPONSORS YET.
We are still trying to figure out last month’s shortfall and this month seems very worrisome also.
We welcome multiple sponsors per dog, as we have to reach a goal of R1250 in sponsorships, per dog.
Those of you loving and providing for one dog, will know caring for your dog properly, is a costly affair. Now imagine having to provide for 46 Pit sized dogs.
At The Pit Bull Sanctuary South Africa, we strive for continually improving the lives of our sanctuary dogs. Majority of our dogs come from rescues across South Africa, who find severely abused, neglected, fought Pit Bulls and Pit type dogs, that they cannot safely manage and facilitate themselves. We then scoop these broken souls and bodies up and provide them a safe refuge, where they can heal and have a better quality of life.
Properly providing for the precious souls in our care, comes at a price. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to give these dogs the safe, calm, happy environment that they deserve. And we simply cannot do this alone. We really do need every bit of support that we can get.
Our dogs have big enclosures. They have play camps. Treats are always dished out. Toys are a given. No one will ever get chained or confined to cramped spaces.
In May, we had a R23 500 shortfall. Now this shortfall gives me sleepless nights. I personally covered what I could. But unfortunately I have two kids to also feed and keep going and I can only do so much in my personal capacity. I have attached our income sheet at the end of the photos of the dogs. Thank you Natalie Lee who does all the bookkeeping stuff for the Sanctuary.
We have to get each and every dog FULLY sponsored for the month of June. Else, we are in trouble. I know some of the dogs have received a partial sponsor so far and I will be doing thank you posts today. But I am posting these dogs as well, as it is important to get everyone fully sponsored 🙏🏼🐾
Any smaller amounts will be gratefully appreciated as donations. All these small amounts can fill the bucket. If we can get just 1500 people to commit to R50 per month, we will be okay.
A partial sponsorship, towards the care of a dog, is R250. Covering the full cost of care (fully sponsored) is R1250.
