Whilst we have such fun fundraising we know it’s important and that we have a responsibility to advise you of the very sad consequences of puppy farming. Also to tell you where the funds raised by you are directed.
Over £75,000 of our fundraising on this group has been sent to The Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre in Wokingham.
DBARC rescue a variety of animals but have developed a particular love for the Schnauzer over the years! Ever since their first one called Munchkin arrived. They have since become experts in providing puppy farm rescue Schnauzers with very specialised rehabilitation. These Schnauzers in many cases arrive with multiple and serious health issues which have included untreated cataracts/blindness, tumours, joint issues, dental and emotional trauma. These are just some, as too many to list!
These conditions are caused by irresponsible breeding and downright neglect over many years of being kept in terrible conditions with no veterinary care or love.
Puppy farm dogs are used for one purpose only and are thrown out when they are no longer of any use to the breeders.
Please be assured that these are a particular sector of breeders and fortunately many breeders aren’t the same. This is why you must always do your homework when buying a puppy!
Over the three years we have been fundraising for DBARC we have seen so many terribly sad and damaged dogs arrive. We have then seen the very positive impact of their stay with DBARC, when their lives have been changed so much and they are ready to go to their lovely forever homes.
Sadly there have been a very small number that haven’t made it and we will always remember them and know DBARC did everything possible for them.
So here we are three years in and as promised some info on the current residents at DBARC who will benefit from what we are doing now with our Christmas Auction and xMAS Jumper walks.
