Donation Feedback "This is such good news… I could cry!" Michael Spencer from the Greyhound Rescue This is so wonderful, thank you all." Myrna from Rabbit Rescue

This is why Wet Nose has been set up. We know how hard these smaller centres really struggle, and there are many all over the country that have less than £5,000 in their accounts. Please give a donation to the Wet Nose Campaign so we can help the Centres mentioned in this newsletter and many, many more.

The skills, effort and commitment required to care for such a wide range of animals, each with its own specialised needs, are considerable. How do I know this? I used to help my husband run a Dog Rescue Centre for 12 years and took in 500 dogs a year. Many Centres need better facilities, new kennel doors or stables, new heating systems for a cattery or new kitchen equipment; some are in a very bad way.

Fact: Thousands of dogs and cats are destroyed each year just because they are strays; but it doesn't end there. It's all the hundreds of animals injured on our roads and from building new houses; new roads and offices, rivers being polluted by chemicals from factories. The list is endless; and it's getting worse each year. Hundreds of deers, foxes, owls, hedgehogs are hit by cars; and many more could and should be saved.

Fact: There are over 6million cats, 5m dogs, 1m birds, 1m rabbits and many more horses, donkeys, deer, wildlife, reptiles and other animals living in the U.K. today. Lots of domestic animals are in rescue centres because they are pregnant or sick or need operations; who pays for it, the Rescue Centres does.

The only solution to these problems is more education on animal welfare and to stop so many pets ending up in rescue centres. Above all, more money needs to be given to the animals in care, for better surroundings and treatment; so many wild animals can and should be released back in the wild where they belong. Domestic animals can be re-homed to better and more suitable owners. But.... like looking after sick children, all this costs MONEY lots of it!

The emphasis in this Country is on humanitarian issues, but we so often forget that caring for all our abused and sick animals is what helps make us human? Just like children being made homeless or those that have been badly abused, these problems will never go away but they can be reduced if we all help together.
Any Rescue Centre can apply for money, just send us copies of your latest accounts and details of your Centres aims for the future.
Wetnose will visit some of these Centres (depending on the area), and when the application has been successful, money is then sent out as soon as possible.

So all you Rescue Centres out there, don’t delay, get writing and let’s hear from you soon. We are also asking for support to help keep our Wet Nose shop open in Beccles Suffolk.
