I DIDN’T WANT TO DIE… 

Every day on the streets was a fight to survive.

I was afraid of being beaten.
Afraid of kicks.
Afraid of people shouting at me and chasing me away. 

And then the dog catchers came.

They didn’t come to save me.

They came to take me.

They grabbed me brutally and dragged me to a government shelter — just as they had dragged away my friends.

There are fourteen of us. 

Fourteen frightened lives who knew hunger, pain, cruelty and fear.

And now we are afraid of something else.

That we will never get out. 

That nobody will come for us.

That these gates will never open.

That we will spend the rest of our lives behind these bars, forgotten by the world.

But then… something happened.

Someone saw us. ❤️

Kind women came.
They looked into our eyes.
They saw our fear and our despair.

And they said:

“We will try to save you.”

They vaccinated us. 
They prepared us for our journey.
They found foster homes for us in Poland. 

For the first time in our lives, someone didn’t want to chase us away.

Someone wanted us to live.

So today, I am asking you to help me.

But not only me.

Please help all fourteen of us.

Fourteen dogs waiting behind these bars for someone to give us a chance.

Some of us have almost stopped believing that humans can be kind.

I am their voice.

Please…

Don’t let our story end here. 

Poland is so close now.
A safe home is within paw’s reach. 

There are warm beds waiting for us.
Full bowls. 
Gentle hands.
People who will never hurt us.

A real life is waiting for us. 

But between these fourteen frightened dogs and that new life stand almost 5,000 kilometres. 

The journey for one dog — including the necessary paperwork and quarantine in Bulgaria — costs more than £550.

For fourteen dogs, that means more than £7,700. 

It is an enormous amount.

But we don’t need one person to pay for everything.

We need many people to give a little. 

£5.
£10.
£20.
Whatever you can spare. 

Your small donation could help buy one more ticket to freedom.

One life saved.

And then another.

And another.

Until all fourteen of us are finally out.

Please don’t scroll past us.

Please don’t let us perish behind these gates.  

We have survived the streets.
We have survived cruelty.
We have survived the capture.

Now please help us reach the promised land, where there is no more fear and 
no more pain ✨️ .

Poland is waiting .

And we are counting on you. ️
