Di Doodles About Stuff: Invitation To Participate

Hi everyone,

Please read Kim’s story look at the pics of the work that they do and please share and / or consider donating to help these ladies continue with the work that they do.

Thanks Di

Hi,

For those that don’t know me, I help animals in Chesterville Township in Durban. Most South Africans are aware of the poverty of residents in townships and the lack of care and ignorance of owning pets. As a result, millions of unseen animals are suffering terribly without adequate food, no shelter, biliary, mange, parasites, being chained, etc., etc. At the root of this problem also is the uncontrolled breeding under horrendous conditions.

Please see pics below of a lot of animals that I have helped, though this is by no means all.

I rely on donations to make this possible and do only those rescues that funds will allow. Quicha Morgado from
Animal Action Dog Rescue has provided the bulk of expenses in the sterilizing and meds, plus she has taken over unwanted puppies and adults and homed them!

In the last 2 weeks alone she has funded the sterilizing of 8 dogs, 1 euthanasia, mange treatment and foster homes for several animals. We still want to do another 5 spays this week. (See pics of dogs below at end.)

Animal Action Dog Rescue is merely a two-woman show with Quicha and Kim Samuels. They have no formal infrastructure and only 6 or 7 foster homes. They raise all their rescue money themselves and with so many animals needing help, their funds are severely limited, yet they are helping me with these dogs which just cannot be ignored.

Visit their website: http://www.animalaction.org.za/

I am therefore inviting you to help fund these 8 sterilizations and the 5 that still need to take place this week. Please, these animals desperately need our help!

Below are pics of animals which have all been rescued or sterilized, removed or helped.

DONE IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS:

The following pics are of a dog rescued from giving birth to 8 pups in a hole she’d dug (4 Feb). She’s now in a foster home. For full pics and story:

Two others.

………………………………………………………….

Last week this poor young black dog had advanced biliary and sadly had to be euthanised. Note all the flies biting his bloodied ear.

She was from the same household, was spayed, vaccinated and went to a foster, then forever home a couple of days ago. She’s a very sweet little dog.

THE TWO DOGS BELOW WERE SPAYED 17 Feb. This little black & tan girl is in horrendous condition with mange and sores under her (dirty, dry & brittle) fur. She is very thin too from poor nutrition and lack of food. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3104122156545.142493.1068980914&type=3&l=d22361bfcf
