£1 for the Pound

£1 for the Pound
£1 for the Pound If you have read through our web site you will see that each week we try to help save the life of a Labrador that for one reason or another has ended up in the dog pound in Ireland. Some of these dogs are unclaimed strays (many of which have been ruthlessly thrown out on to the streets) and some of these dogs are surrendered because their families can no longer keep them. The strays are kept for 5 days and if unclaimed will then be destroyed, the surrenders sometime are destroyed on the same day if the pound is full. These dogs range in ages from a few weeks old to the last weeks of their lives. The dog pound is not a nice place to be for any dog either young or old. The kennels are often cramped metal cages in which they receive one small meal a day and with only a bowl of water for company the dogs are frightened, bewildered and will just shiver in darkness of their surroundings. Please help us to help them. To transport a dog over here costs us £65 and we are often charged another £10 to vaccinate the dog and some dog pounds also ask a release fee of £15. Sometimes when the dog arrives they may need a short spell in one of the private kennels we use, this costs £10 per day. Occasionally a dog will need medical treatment before we can re-home him and this can be very costly. So….. if you would like to help save the lives of more beautiful Labradors and Labrador X’s then tape a pound coin between two pieces of thin cardboard and pop it in an envelope and post to: June Chapman LRRSE 1 Burlington Crescent Headington Oxford OX3 8DY Of course if you would like to send a cheque we will also be delighted. We will keep you posted on how your money has helped. LRRSE does not have any paid workers, therefore all the money we raise is used on the welfare and re-homing of dogs. These are just a few of the dogs that have been saved from the pound.

On the top of our wish list is to have some kennels of our own – maybe one day! :roll:

Re: £1 for the Pound
Great idea 8) 8) The kennels maybe a dream but that dream became a reality for Glenys at Lab Rescue North West so lets keep our fingers crossed that it will become a reality for LRRSE :wink: Lucy xx

Hi Lucy Yes you never know - one day. I'll keep doing the lottery!!! Sue :lol:

Sue Looking at all those photos of dogs we have saved it makes you feel so proud of our charity and brings a lump to the throat bless them all. I too will keep doing the lottery!!! JEAN.X :D

Hi Jean Yes, there certainly are some wonderful dogs that have had their lives turned around and if the appeal does well we will be able to save many more from being destroyed. :( Suex :D

Thank you all so much for sending money into this appeal, you know who you are. I am really thrilled to say that the total so far raised is £247. I am sure that if they could the dogs that this will help to save would say a very big Thank You. :lol:

Hi Lucy Do people reply to responses here?<>

Hi June How's it going, hope those £1 are still rolling in. There have been so many beautiful Labradors in the pounds these last couple of weeks it really breaks your heart. Sue

The £1's are coming in thick and fast now. I had a lovely card and cheque this morning from a family who have rehomed a dog recently. Thank you to them and thank you to everyone else who has sent in £1's for the poundies :D

So pleased the £'s are pouring in. Every one is needed for these poundies. No feed back regarding The get together, i would have thought someone could have updated for those unfortunate enough not to have made it?? Nothing after a previous posting!!!

More on its way to you June from Kent!! Tracy
