Well here is the video folks – shows just how large a conference it was and how fabulous it was that we won the award.

THE AWARD CEREMONY – RAIN RESCUE WINS

The Animal Welfare Award 2013

Bess – a life of abuse and neglect

When we went into the dog pound last week, we saw a little chocolate coloured dog cowering in her basket.  Wide eyed with fear – huddled under the edge of her bed lay a little stafford.  We love staffords, and hate to see them so abused.  She wasn’t out of time, and so we couldn’t help her but told the pound to hold her – we would be back when she had done her 7 day stay.

Lilly – Loveable older lady

 

This lovely girl found her perfect home today – the state that this dog came into our rescue was pitiful.  Her hair so bad and neglected it cost us £28.00 to get her to the groomers, she was too disgusting to go to the foster home – her hair so long and overgrown and dirty she couldn’t see.  After a great groom and a bath – she was so happy and a totally different dog.  Now all thats left is for us to pay for the mammory strip thats going to be needed – maybe around £350??? again – something that should have been operated on years ago before the tumour got so large.  She has now found a great home, and Rain Rescue will fundraise to make sure we pay for the bill.  She was one girl worth saving.
