Помогите животным!

[sagitariuss]

Ребята,это письмо,крик души,тронуло меня до слез.Да и не только меня.Я никогда не думала,что в Ирландии настолько ужасная ситуация по охране животных.Бродячие собаки попадают в dog pound и если не найдется хозяин или желающий ее забрать,собаку имеют полное право усыпить.Если в dog pound собаку приводит хозяин,то ее могут усыпит на следующий день.Некоторые dog pounds стараются делать все возможное,чтоб не усыплять животных.Они работают с приютами для животных.В приютах работают энтузиасты и настоящие любители животных.Они не получают государственной помощи.Представьте себе,как тяжело им добывать эти деньги,особенно в теперешнее время.Все питомники по Ирландии переполнены.Животных не удается пристроить в семьи с такой скоростью,с какой они попадают в pound.Предрождественнское время работники питомников встречают с ужасом.Люди избавляются от старых собак,чтоб заменить их новыми"подарками".Основные причины,по которым отдают собаку в pound:"Она нам надоела","Мои дети потеряли к ней интерес","Он слишком агрессивный"(это сказано о 4х-месячном щенке) и т.п.
Ребят,я знаю,на форуме много любителей животных.Не забывайте об этих четвероногих,которым никто,кроме нас не поможет.Перед тем,как купить собаку,зайдите на страницу Ashton dog pound или любого приюта(Dogs in distress,AHAR,Cara dog rescue...),посмотрите,сколько там красавцев,породистых и нет,ждут своего хозяина(на данный момент в Ahton pound польская семья отдала годовалого лабрадора-девочку и времени у нее очень мало).Может,там вы найдете своего верного друга.
Если нет возможности взять собаку или котика,помогите денюжкой.На номер 50300 можно отослать смс со словом DID ,или СARA ,или AHAR,или MADRA
А теперь это письмо...Вчера вечером его написала женщина,главная в приюте АHAR.На данный момент у них 70 собак и сегодня или на днях она заберет еще 9 из Kerry dog pound,т.к этих животных должны усыпить.Прочитайте.Может,вас тоже тронет,заставит задуматься,помочь...
Спасибо!

This post I've put off writing with so long.
I think a part of me did not want to face it and the other part of me hoped that the donations would come in to bring AHAR above water and the fact I am run off my feet trying to do so much 24/7 I didn't have a moment to sit and think and gather my own emotions and work out exactly how much we owe right now and the fear I had that I would get very upset and be of no use to the animals.
The last month has pushed me to the wall. Nearly every dog that came in had more vet care needed then the norm. Between all the ex puppy farm dogs and so many of the ones on death row needed other surgeries that drove my vet bills through the roof. That's with the fact they all need the regular treatment. Neutering/chipping/vaccines/kennel cough/worming/de flea. We have over seventy at this moment.
It all costs money. Then add bedding/food/after care/transport/esb/insurance. Our adoption fee's only covers part of it and anyone in rescue will tell you that. But we do it because we cant live without giving our heart out to save them. They have no voice to ask for help. We must pick them up and glue their little lives back together as best we can and then find that special human to walk the rest of their journey together.
I take pride in giving all our animals the best of food, vet care and finding them the fairy tale ending. I love and live for saving each and everyone of them. Anyone will tell you who has ever been around me. Each and every dog get his own whisper in his ear, your safe now, I am here and a huge hug and I mean it in so many ways. I would give my life for them all if I needed to.
Then as you know I only take animals off death row and cruelty situations
(we do help home from home on our adoption page)
I don't go to the pound and hand pick the ones that are easy to home and leave the rest to be put to sleep. I take them all and fall for the plainer more troubled ones faster as I know they were born into a world they never asked for nor would they wish to be a fluffy easy to home pom.
All my own family of dogs were all misfits. One as cranky and damaged as the other. But I fell for them like a ton of bricks. I knew they would never be adopted in a million years. But I had all the time in the world to reach inside and hold their fearful heart until they could manage alone. Now I have a family who everyone loves and everyone would adopt but they are the reason I fight every minute of every day for all the others. They now are my glue in hard times. They remind me I am a rescuer.
If you walked into AHAR tonight. You will see, pallets of feed. Rows of round bales of hay/straw. Bales of bedding.
All the equines are on deep beds of straw. Plenty to eat. Munching away.
All the dogs are indoors. Some in purpose set up stables on raised beds with blankets with deep white shavings on the floor. Others are in purpose built runs with kennels in half of our indoor arena. Plenty food toys and treats. All are vet ready to find new homes bar the ones who have come in, the last week.
So you would look and say wow! This is fantastic for all the animals but how can we fund it you would ask? I would answer with great difficulty.
I am blessed with a team of volunteers around me who would follow me through fire and never question my reason. I have proved my worth to the ones who stand by me every time. They have seen the thousands I've saved with little but a childhood dream in my pocket.
I joke with them and say..... please don't worry, I will get us through this. I will summon my army of supporters and they will help us fight to save them all. And you all do. More times then I could ever count. We find a way to make a miracle happen as a team for that I adore you.
Many of you have noticed so much worry and emotion in the way I write my posts of late. ( Thank you for taking the time to ring/pm/email and see if I am ok, it means a lot)
Part of it is, I witness so much suffering day in day out but the huge part hanging around my neck that is choking me. The bills. The constant bills. You think phew I've paid a big chunk off then bang, your hit with another.
I cant deal with this alone anymore. Its taking the life and soul out of me. I now feel like a robot. I don't usually sleep much, but now It feels like I cant sleep at all. I forget to eat as I am always rushing around. Then we don't get enough volunteers at the fundraisers so I end up standing all day with a bucket to collect donations but having to work before and then after late into the night. The stress is killing me slowly. My health is starting to suffer. Enough is enough now. I am no good to the animals sick with flu and exhaustion.
AHAR is in debt by 36,000 euro at this moment. For hay/straw, feed and vet bills. Three bills. I am worn to the bone with worry.
I have a choice in closing down until we can gather enough to pay it off but so many will die this winter without me all over Ireland or right now give it my best shot to get up and fight once more to try pay it all off. Its a huge amount of money and I just cant keep going or let it get any bigger. AHAR has come such a long way so fast from a rented farm in a bog to the huge amazing premises we all got together. But we are lacking donations to support the constant work and conveyer belt of so many animals coming to my attention for help.
I am running on empty. My world at the moment is taken up by this chain of cement around my neck. I feel like I am slowly drowning.
There is nearly 73,000 fans on my page as we speak. Surely if we put our heads together we can do this.
After a meeting with my team, I've agreed to give it all I've left in me but if we cant raise it. We will have to close for a while. I sound selfish and guilty saying this, but I have to think of my health too if I want to be still doing this in twenty years. There is no point running AHAR into the ground, I want it taken into the future forever long after I am gone.
At this moment. Its the first time in months that I feel like a house has been lifted off my chest. Just by even sharing my deepest worries and fears with you. I couldn't deal with this alone anymore. It was ruining everything about me and what I live for.
So I am asking my army of friends...... do you think we can clear this debt?
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this. I am sorry to have rattled on but if you saw the relief in my face, you would know the world of good this has done me. A problem shared is a problem halved xx

I want to speak to you all from the heart, as its the only way I know.
This time last year, we all were in a small rented farm in the bog but we were fundraising to buy what was to be The home of AHAR forever. All of you came to my side, we decided to fight to raise the huge funds to set AHAR in stone, we went against the odds and we never gave up come hell or high water.... we were going to do it, and I always remember that first day I walked all the animals, my team and you home to the land of my dreams, no matter how far away you were I wanted you with me, a place where I could change the future of animal rescue not just in Kerry but in Ireland. I cried so hard I made myself sick. My childhood dream was real at last. We finally had a home, I did not have a home in half my life time, I never felt safe for the animals and I we could be told move at any time, But now we were all safe in more ways then one. It was then you earned The name..... My army.
Since that first day, I've watched my army grow from strength to strength. I've made so many powerful friends from all of you, my dream is to some day meet you all in my life time to be able to walk you down my dream that you helped me live, meet all the animals famous and new but most of all to hug you for believing in me.
This last year, again you stood by my side. Together we saved thousands of animals, but the difference was this year was so hard on all of us, money is so tight, donations got less but the animals kept calling our name and of course we answered.
I am at my best when I am running like a steam train chasing animals to god knows where. Once I get the call that they are in trouble all I want to know is have we the money? Can we raise it? And then I don't sleep or eat until I hear either the engine of the jeep, the dog van or the horse lorry start. And then there is no talking to me. I go into rescue mode and don't stop no matter what or who stands in my way until they are all safe at AHAR. Then the vet care starts, the feed the care and transport and on top of all of that the regular bills all rescues have.
So for the last few months I watched the bills grow. But I kept giving it my all to raise what we needed to survive but that's all it was..... surviving. They just kept creeping like a slow burning forest fire.
It got to a stage when It felt like it was smothering me. It was all I thought of. Night and day. I stood for hours with a bucket collecting donations and I worked longer hours and in the end two nights ago I just hit the ground. There was nothing left. I felt empty and alone, I could not see a way out but to close to new animals and care for the ones we had and concentrate on paying off our depts. Which could take six months. I was in bits, I just sat down with Caroline and cried and cried. I said I am a rescuer, not a PR or an accountant. I am trained in horses and dogs, I have done my best to pay for everything as best as I possibly could. I have failed the animals. I just cant catch up. I was broken. All I live for every moment of every day is to meet them, save them and walk them home.
So she took my hand and said this is just another test for you and your army, you are not alone we are all here but you put on a brave face and took it all on your tiny shoulders. Now go and do what you do best, tell them the truth and they will listen.
I believed I had failed you all and the animals I hadn't met yet. I sat staring at the blank screen with fear, an emotion I don't suffer kindly.
So I started to write and it just kept flooding like tonight and as I wrote I felt the relief run through my body. I actually felt tired.
After I finished I turned off my phone and lap top, took all my own animals (and a few fostering here) up to bed and we all huddled up together and I slept. For the first time in months. What will be now will be.
Six am the birds started outside my window, of course the dogs started barking them away as usual. I just sat in the bed numb. I was afraid to turn on my phone, so I didn't. I just got ready and went up to the farm and did what I live for, feeding and caring for my babies.
Until the team drove into the farm screaming..... all questions. Why is your phone off? Did you see face book? No no no is all I could say. I was too afraid to ask. But then the clowns started jumping and screaming your army are fighting. The donations are flooding in.
I just felt the ground go from under me. I was sitting on the floor with all the dogs licking me to death hugging them all I cried my heart out. Then I saw Passions little worried face and I got up and hugged the life out of her while my team danced on around like nutters.
Liam and Anny have worked fourteen hours straight taking every pm of help and talking to all of you. Caroline was on the road all day doing home checks and answering the phone. The rest were behind the scenes pulling it all together at the centre.
And I spent the day very emotional with all the animals.
Are you ready to know how much we are at now?
13,540 Euro. That's all thanks to you. All of you. My army. My life line. You are my human AHAR.
You have no idea how I am feeling as a photo can have no emotion but I hope my long post (sorry it was so long) explains it all from my heart. I will leave you with the words.... I love you. I really really do xx

Marussia82, спасибо!Даже 1 евро может помочь.Кажется,что мало,но вчера собрали почти 15000 таким образом.

[Jannise]

Я очень долго валонтёрила с [DID], поэтому тем, кто сомневаетса куда идут деньги или как тратятса - могу подвердить лично, что ни один цент не идёт на содержания офисов, или телеофнных разговор или бензина для волонтёров И так далее.
У [DID] нету ни офиса, все волонтёры делают работу на дому, ездят за свои деньги, покупают еду, причиндалы для живётных за свои деньги, особенно когда пожертвования заканчивают, а это случаетса часто. По большому счёту, мы старались оставлять пожервования на оплату ветеринарных счетов (которые не работают бесплатно), И на оплату перевозки животных за пределы Ирландии. 5-6 раз в год партия животных перевозитса в Швецию, Англию, Францию - просто потому что, в Ирландии для них нет семей, а в этих странах (особенно в Швеции) недостаток животных И их берут с удовольствием. Но перевозка стоит очень больших денег, поэтому чаще этого делать не поучаетса.

Мы работаем на пряму с [Co Meath pound]. Он государственный, но бюджет позволяет держать животное не больше 5 дней. Если собаку не забирают волнтёры на временный присмотр - собака усыпляетса. Просто так привести туда собаку нельзя, за сдачу её в [pound] берётса плата с хозяев в 150 евро. Поэтому многие просто подкидываю животное ночью, что бы не платить. 150 евро не хватает даже на минимальные рассходы, так как животное надо микрочипировать, сделать прививки, кастрировать, а где ещё содержание самого приюта, электричество, работники И так далее. К тому же очень маленький % животных попадают напрямую, многих просто находят люди в окрестностях И привозят туда.
Каждая собака, которая проходит через [DID] проводит как минимум 2 недели в приёмной семьйе. За это период оцениваетса её поведение, чему она обучена, как она ведёт себя с детьми, другими животными И исходя из этого ей подяскиваетса семя. Дальше, когда есть желающие забрать, волонтёр вместе с собкаой посещает дом желающего, смотрит как собака реагирует, как реагируют люди, говорит с ними, оценивает их готовность к собаке. Если зухе есть животные, как они реагируют на это. Поэтому весь рпоцес занимает какое-то время, И всё это время волонтёры чаще всего содержут собаку сами, возят её по ветеринарам, тренируют её, обучают.

[sagitariuss]

Jannise, Спасибо,что добавила информацию.Я сама хочу взять собаку из DID.Жду лендлорда,чтоб дала разрешение.Была в Аштон dog pound.Страшно,больно.Муж даже не пошел,остался на улице.Но после этого визита стал полностью поддерживать меня в том,что я стараюсь сейчас делать,хоть как-то помочь братьям нашим меньшим.

Я сама хочу взять собаку из ДИД.

ты с КАти уже связывалась? Она там главная, вместе с Калире. Если будешь болтать, передавай привет от [Jenny].

[sagitariuss]

Jannise, Еще нет, не связывалась.Сначала с лордом буду говорить, не хочется людей зря беспокоить.Но я уже знаю, кого хочу взять.Слежу за их страницей, пока помогаю деньгами по возможности. Я б и волонтерить пошла, так не вожу машину.Но уже готова учиться.Времени хватает, могла бы транспортом помогать.
