Campaign Details
After more than a year of waiting for their chance to board an airlift from the island to their future, we hope to finally send 57 dogs on their freedom flight to the US. All of the precious babies in the gallery above and more must get on this flight. We have a huge goal to reach in order to make their dreams a reality, and not much time to do it before the trip in July.
This is Konno. Last year, a group of Pitbulls were confiscated from a breeder after all the abuse and cruelty done to them. The heat in the Bahamas is no joke. All those poor dogs were outside in full sun inside plastic cubicles.
Konno’s hopeless look in his eyes, had not even a little hope to ever walk away alive from that prison. He, like all the others, were there to mate with each other till the end of time, and when the breeder couldn’t make any money out of them, chances were, they would end up on the streets (or worse).
Not only they were set free that day, but we filled their hearts with hope, we cared for them and loved them and restored their broken hearts and gave them the gift to start all over again.
Konno will be leaving on this airlift to find his much deserved forever home. ❤
It has been so difficult for so long because fundraising has slowed for everyone in rescue and the majority of us find ourselves struggling to arrange adoptions and move animals along to new homes. Foster families are doing their best to help, but there is only so much room in each. People are uncertain about their finances with the cost of living going up, which probably is a major reason that adoptions and donations have slowed everywhere.
Once a foster dog goes to its forever family, the next pup gets their spot on the couch and so on… but it’s not happening fast enough!
Here are a couple of my babies that have already found wonderful forever homes in the states, thanks to these airlifts:
Look how safe and content Pawline feels in her loving home... ❤️
And here's incredibly happy Heloise in her wonderful home... 💕
As you’ve heard, Pawtcake Refuge is in danger of closing completely, which would be devastating. Our lease has been on shaky ground for almost a year and this time the landlord has had it with the constant barking of the dogs.
Any available land that could be a good location is scarce, and the price tag for anything so far has been out of this world.
We need a miracle and we need it soon! The alternative is too heartbreaking to think about.
What will happen to those who don’t make it on this airlift? Where will everyone go, if we can’t find another place to allow the refuge to relocate? What becomes of the voiceless souls still wandering the streets, if there is no refuge to be their salvation?
Please help us to fund this escape (that is what it feels like) - dogs who can fly away from this island will be freed from the uncertain life coming for those left behind.
We need you like never before…
Love,
Chella
