Help our ambulance drivers rescue more dogs like Violet. View an [online version of this email]( [Rehoming]( [Sponsor]( [Donate]( Dear {NAME}, Violet didn’t know it, but when we picked her up from the pound, she was just days away from being put to sleep. With limited space, and no owners coming to collect them, the pounds often have no choice but to make this devastating decision for the dogs that come into their care. In the last year alone, there have been over 7,000 more stray dogs in need of rescue than the previous year. And with so much financial pressure on dog owners, we’re expecting that number to rise again. Violet's journey At 15 years-old, Violet urgently needed rescuing. She was all alone in the pound – frightened, confused and in need of treatment – facing the end of the road. Every dog we transfer from the pound receives a vet check, essential blood tests, vaccinations or microchipping before they set off on their journey to safety. Once Violet was ready to set off, we drove her to our team in Penrith where they gave her all the love and care she deserved. Fuelling our dog ambulances cost more than £52,000 in 2023, enabling our drivers to cover over 300,000 miles across the UK and Ireland. As well as rescuing dogs from the pound, we transfer dogs between our rehoming centres to suit their needs and help them find a forever home. We even transport essentials like bedding, equipment and food donations wherever they’re needed.
