Buy and erect a fence to keep the jumper in

Donation protected
Prior to the death of the brilliant and compassionate rescuer, Zelia Santos (APAAPORTUGAL ) leader of this particular dog rescue project, I’d gone in for fostering the marvellous Portuguese Rafeiro puppies, from the uncatchable mom, 2 at a time, whilst she could be caught and sterilised, relieved of having litter after litter after litter, so nervous and impossible to get close to or befriend. I felt sure they’d be highly sought after: handsome, friendly, playful and strong. Loyal, independent and protective…already castrated, what was there not to like, particularly, at a time of heightened horse and animal thefts-these dogs were bred to protect stock on the mountainside and although not particularly clever their speed and power are a force to be reckoned with. I didn’t expect to watch my fosters grow into adults but here they are at a year old, still with me except now, with new found characteristics and the ability to jump like a horse! This one, in the main picture, probably wants to kill my barky, unstable Podengo, and perhaps my elderly alpha male? Her territorial tendencies are also becoming worrisome as my demented oldie passes by her cage. So life has become largely about crisis management. In 1 week my daughter will be away and with so much other rescue work already I don’t know how I’m going to cope. I DESPERATELY need a tall fence pen to keep her and everyone else, safe. At the moment Shes crated full time and we must alternate her outs with 6 other dogs, 5 our own, 1 her sister, a complete opposite character, whom she likes to hurt. The cost will be upwards of a thousand euros unless anyone can help buy, donate and/or erect it. Here, she’ll have a kennel, (already donated by the super generous dog rescuer, Roseanne APAR), trees and grass in a 50m+ approximate square. At the moment She’s on a long waiting list for the canil. Please help me to avoid the accident that could so easily occur. Please help me to give her a quality of life, it’s not her fault she was just born like this…please help to provide for her the only immediate solution that is available to me now.
I have no other known recourse from this extraordinary beast thst I’ve found myself in charge of…un-rehomeable, un-put downable, with no room at anybody’s inn, beautiful and loyal, how we hope and pray for her deliverance into the hands of kind experience . Until then, friends, I need a fence. Please help with whatever you can, donations, advice, support, all welcome
