Help save Mama the stray dog & pups
Donation protected
Update Feb 2017:
Miraculously we raised enough money to bring Mama and Puppy Angela to the UK who were collected by me on 6th February. I can't believe we did it thanks to all you amazing supporters.
We also had enough money to bring over 2 other strays Seal and Snow White who were being picked on by the pack in Sri Lanka at Animal SOS. Kim, one of the organisers at Animal SOS Sri Lanka, had a loving place in her London home for them.
Devastatingly Snow Whites microchip couldn't be read by DEFRA at Heathrow, it must have deactivated as it was read in Sri Lanka on 2nd Feb.
She is now in quarantine for 4 months and the bill will be approx £2500. If we can't find the money she will be put to sleep :(
Update:
The campaign was originally set up to help Mama the stray and her 2 pups. Unfortunately one of these pups was never found. Mama and Puppy Angela are still in Sri Lanka in a rescue awaiting the go ahead by authorities to come to the UK, which we are hoping will happen by October 2016.
The response has been wonderful and we reached our goal of £2000 after a few weeks.
However, there are hundreds of other strays who need our help daily and all funds left over will be used to help these poor strays like Mama and Puppy Angela who would have died without our help.
Animal SOS have asked if I can help bring over 2 dogs to the UK with Mama and Puppy Angela - Seal and Snow White. There are homes waiting for them here - unfortunately these two are bullied by the pack at the shelter so I'd like to give them the gift of a new life this Christmas !
I met Mama (as I've called her) 3 days ago on my holiday in Sri Lanka.
She is one of many strays here in Arugum Bay but the difference is she barely moves, she's in pain , constantly coughs, very skinny and I've seen her attacked by the other packs.
She has 2 puppy's aged around 12 weeks. They cough constantly and their eyes were almost glued shut today with gunk. One of them won't eat :(
I've gained her trust on feeding from my hand....We stole sausages from our hotel breakfast on 2 mornings and she wolfed down 6 in one go!
With advice from a vetinary charity I have bought her and pups some much needed medication. ..flea treatment, worming tablets , eye drops, tablets for her sore and infected teats.
I managed to give pups all their meds but Mama is so scared of human touch there is no way I could give her eye drop's and she ate around the worming tablets! I managed to.get flea treatment on her which should stop her constant scratching.
I have found a local who agreed to give her the rest of her medication but her chances of getting close to her are slim.
Mama and ger pups need urgent veterinary care. A local charity (one of many I contacted) said they can treat her if I can fund transport to Columbo - some 9 hours away!
They could rehome the pups but will struggle to rehome her, her only hope is adoption in the UK which will cost up to £1000 alone.
Mama is going to die, surrounded by tourists and locals who think nothing of walking by and picking up her pups like playthings while they are trying to sleep and rest in the scorching sun :(
Please let's pull together and see this girls tail wag and her puppies safe. Follow progress on our facebook page
