I look forward to each one of my furry friends being in a loving new 'forever' home of their own one day soon.
Thank You for helping!!
More Information 30 kilos of dry food daily (1.5 x 20 kilo bag) Price per bag ranges between $30 to $50 per bag, add to that our bones bill and other diets (eg puppy food and cat food).
People constantly ask why we do this if we dont make any money, plain and simple, we do this for the animals. The costs of feeding are a constant cost while they wait to find their new homes. Some dogs arrive and are adopted relatively quickly, however, some others that I have in care have been here for well over a year, and are still waiting for their 'forever' homes!
They are all GREAT DOGS!
Some just aren't the 'flavour' of the month !!
With the numbers of dogs currently in care, we are using
To reduce our costs we purchase food by the pallet load (28 bags), which lasts us 3 weeks (if we're lucky)!!
Being self funded, our costs (vet bills, foods and medications) are rarely covered by adoption fees and we cover the difference from our own personal income and we have managed to continue helping animals for over 10 yrs now!! and each year we take in and rehouse over 150 dogs!!
