I am, as some of you are already aware, involved with a wonderful dog rescue charity here in the UK, called Oldies Club, which rescues and rehomes dogs aged 7+ (though the average age is probably nearer 12, these days).
Oldies Club is delighted to have been selected as one of four registered charities in a May facebook competition run by Animal Friends each month. The charity with the most votes at the end of May will win £5,000, which would make a tremendous difference to Oldies Club and the gorgeous older dogs it cares and finds new homes for.
So, if you are a facebook user and can spare approximately 30 seconds, would you please click HERE and vote for Oldies Club? You just need to click on the link, approve the app, select Oldies Club and vote! It really is very quick and easy and your support would be really appreciated
It is very sad to think of all the dogs who lose their homes during their older age and Oldies Club does an amazing job of helping some of these older dogs by taking them into foster homes, caring for them and providing any veterinary treatment needed, while they are assessed for a new home. The charity takes in older dogs from all sorts of different situations and also lists many older dogs in the care of other UK rescues, via its website, free of charge, to support the general adoption of older dogs.
Those who have been following this blog for a while will know that our darling Jasper was an Oldies Club boy and we are eternally thankfully that the charity was there to take him in when he was due to be put to sleep. He was an incredible dog and was just one of many oldies the charity has saved.
Thank you,
Angela and Mr Moo, aged 13 and a quarter …
