WELCOME TO ANGELS SMALL PAWS DOG RESCUE & ANIMAL SANCTUARY
Angels Small Paws Dog Rescue was established by Chrissy Marshall in 2010. The rescue is run by Chrissy, with a group of volunteers to help with the administration, fostering, home checking and fundraising. We became a registered charity in 2017.
Angels are committed to making an impact on the rescue of dogs in difficult situations, abandoned, in dog pounds and those on death row. We strive to ensure safe & loving homes are found for all dogs that come into our care.
We also offer Sanctuary to other animals who need a safe and secure home to live out their lives. The animals brought in for sanctuary are not for adoption.
Angels is run purely on a voluntary basis and we rely on donations and various fundraising events to support the work we do. All donations we receive are used for the needs of the dogs and administration costs which include: vet fees, grooming, transporting, dog leads, collars etc.
We don't use kennels, our dogs are all placed in foster homes and these fosterers provide food and a safe and loving home until the dogs find forever homes.
HELP WITH FUNDING NEEDED PLEASE
Preparing for winter
When we moved the sanctuary 5 years ago and we built the livestock enclosures and housing, we went for the cheapest materials etc. At the time it was all we could afford, false economy as we’ve spent the last 5 years constantly fixing and replacing things.
The last storm we had literally destroyed most things and each year we’ve had more rain and more flooding, resulting in animals living in constant mud for months.
We really need to do things properly and use different materials that won’t rot in the rain and floods.
The pig enclosure is first the fencing (v mesh) won’t rot as it’s metal and is maintenance free, concrete base for their housing which will create a nice dry area for them in the winter, the stable matting we are looking at is £3000.
For the alpacas we are re purposing an old stable that was already here, saving us a few thousand but the flooring still needs addressing and an out side covered area, for this we are looking at £1000.
By achieving this they will all have safe dry warm areas for the winter and for many years ahead without having to constantly fix and replace things.
We know £4000 is a hell of a lot of money but we really need these areas winter proofing as each year the weather is getting wetter.
If anyone can help us with any of these costs it would be more than appreciated. Donation details below:
