Beds for the Dogs of Akagera National Park, Rwanda

Tax deductible
With the help of Bubba's Beds for Shelter Friends, I'm raising money to provide necessary special beds for the dogs of the Canine Anti-Poaching Unit who protect the wildlife of Akagera National Park in Rwanda. When I visited there last year and met the dogs, I saw that they did not have beds, but only raised wooden platforms to rest and sleep on. It broke my heart, so I'm doing something about it. The Akagera dogs are highly trained to combat wildlife poaching in the park. With the help of the dogs, the  park poaching levels have reached an all-time low Read about them here: https://www.africanparks.org/newsroom/our-stories/canine-command.  

Bubba's Beds for Shelter Friends, who I volunteered with in Puerto Rico, will be making this happen if I can raise the funds needed! 

The restoration of Akagera National Park after the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is somewhat of a miracle. The wildlife and ecosystem of Akagera was destroyed during and in the aftermath of the genocide. It is now an absolutely amazing place to visit and go on safari! https://www.africanparks.org/newsroom/press-releases/twenty-years-genocide-rwandas-akagera-national-park-is-thriving

Just a $50 donation will buy one  bed thanks to Bubba’s Beds, as all donations through Dec. 31, 2020 will be DOUBLED! Our GoFundMe goal is based on this matching funding, so  any donation, large or small, will help make an impact.  Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

PLEASE SHARE THIS with your friends who love animals!

Bubba's Beds for Shelter Friends is an all volunteer group that donates orthopedic, chewproof, easy to clean dog and cat beds to shelters across the country.
