How You Can Help

Donations

  1. You can donate as much or as little as you would like safely and free with the above donate button through paypal.

  2. Donations can be made direct to the RSDR bank account:

    Rudozem Street Dog Rescue
    DSK Bank
    IBAN   BG55STSA93000016929092
    BIC  STSABGSF

    (for direct bank payments, please check first how much your own bank will charge you for this )

  3. Donations can also be made to a Dutch account through Diane Beijer's foundation. 
    Please email streetdogrescue@gmail.com for bank details

    Please note:  We have had a lot of requests for sending donations by Cheques, Money Orders or by cash. 
    At this stage we cannot accept cheques, money orders or cash by post.  The bank system in the region of Rudozem
    do not know what a cheque is, and sending cash by post is quite risky.  If you have any questions please email streetdogrescue@gmail.com

Other ways you can help

We are in need of :

  • Advocate pipettes (all sizes) or Stronghold
  • Halti headcollar / gentle leader  (size that would fit doberman)
  • Toys
  • Biscuits, treats and chews (especially thick hide chews)
  • Multi worming tablets (especially palatable wormers)
  • Small packets or trays of moist dog food

     We do have enough blankets at the moment, thank you to to the kind people donating them.

    For address to send to please contact streetdogrescue@gmail.com or dprowles@hotmail.com  
    Please view photos of parcels some of our members have sent here

    • Shelter Appeal - Please help us purchase land / buildings

     

     

     

    We do not have an exact figure for the shelter/clinic appeal. This will all depend on whether we are able to purchase land or buildings, the condition of them and what work needs to be carried out. We do however need to start fundraising for this now, so that when something suitable does become available, we are able to purchase it. 

    Any land or buildings purchased will be done through the registered foundation (Rudozem street dog rescue) and will be registered in the foundation's name. We need this shelter/clinic so that we are able to help more dogs and start a neuter/spay scheme. Please can you help us to make this possible. 

    Vehicle fund

     

     

    December 2009.  We have had snow for a couple of days now and still do not have a 4 wheel drive vehicle so that we can do our rounds, feed dogs and collect abandoned pups, when the roads are bad. There is also the worry that if a dog needs any treatment, we have a 5 hour journey to a vet, along bad mountain roads. Please help us if you can. many of these dogs rely on us and wait for us for their food.

    Transport of adopted dogs

     

     

     

    We have had to alter the date for the next trip of adopted dogs to Holland. This will now take place late February. Adoptions are slow at the moment and we have been unable to raise the funds needed for the trip. It makes us sad that we have had to do this as it almost means that we have less room to take in any dogs and pups during these very bad Winter months. The dogs will once again be travelling with Keith and Chris from Pet Chauffeurs. Please help us to reach our target and send our dogs to the loving homes that they so deserve enabling us to take in more dogs from their life of hell on the streets.

    Please note:  Our transport costs of one (1) trip of € 2,300 must be paid in advance to the transport company.  If you donate towards helping us pay monies in advance for transport, any costs for travel covered in the Adoption fee, will then go back to the RSDR towards the care of the street dogs at RSDR.

    4th November 2009

    We are saddened by the recent news that 37 dogs from Bulgaria have been confiscated in Holland. These dogs have not come from RSDR and we do not know who sent them.
    We have read that some of the dogs are sick, some scared, some aggressive and that passports and paperwork were not in order. We feel sad for these dogs and also that this could affect adoptions for any dogs from Bulgaria.

    All our dogs are with us for quite some time before they go for adoption. During this time we are able to get to know each dog individually.
    If a dog isn’t suitable for adoption, then it isn’t re-homed. Our dogs are loved and cared for at our own home. They are treated for parasites, all vaccinations, microchip and passports are in order and a vet checks them before they travel. We then use a professional pet chauffeur service who we know are DEFRA registered and will take good care of the dogs on the journey. Our dogs do not share transport with any other dogs. We would not allow our own pets to travel in any other way, so we wouldn’t expect anything else for our rescue dogs.

    Furthermore almost all of our dogs have already been adopted before travel so that they can go straight to loving homes. Only in a few cases have dogs been fostered and then it is by caring and experienced people.

    We have at times been criticized by other organizations who say that dogs can be transported cheaper or that we could move more dogs by just sending them to a shelter. We do things our way and will continue to do so. It might cost more money and we may not be able to send as many dogs for adoption, but we love and care about each and every dog that goes for adoption. So we will not cut corners.
