My name is Ayla Sanli, and I'm the founder of Hope for Turkish Strays, a small rescue organisation dedicated to helping dogs rescued from shelters and difficult circumstances in Turkey. I'm making this appeal to raise £1,200 to bring one of our lovely rescue girls, Bonnie, safely to the UK.

Bonnie is one of the dogs we rescued from a municipal shelter in eastern Turkey. She was found with several shotgun pellets lodged in her body after being shot by a farmer.

We will never know exactly what happened. Perhaps she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever the reason, no dog deserves to be treated this way. Thankfully, the pellets are not causing Bonnie any problems, and they certainly haven't stopped her from enjoying life.

And what a lovely little girl she is!

Bonnie is such a pretty, gentle and easy-going dog. She gets along beautifully with people and other dogs, and she's an absolute pleasure to have around. Despite her past, she is friendly, happy and wonderfully sociable. I genuinely believe she'll make a fantastic companion for someone.

Bonnie is booked to travel to the UK at the end of November, alongside two of our other rescued dogs, Juno and Dali.

Once she arrives, I'll be fostering her personally in my home until we find the right family. Having her here in the UK will make it much easier for potential adopters to meet her and see what a lovely dog she really is.

Our fundraising target is £1,200 to cover Bonnie's transport from Turkey to Dover.

Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we have already raised the transport costs for Juno and Dali. Now we need to raise Bonnie's £1,200 so she can join them on their journey.

I'm asking you to help us get Bonnie here. Whether it's £5, £10, £20 or more, every donation will go directly towards her transport costs.

Bonnie is ready for the next chapter of her life. She has so much to offer, and I have no doubt that the right family will absolutely adore her. Please donate whatever you can towards Bonnie's £1,200 travel fund and help us get her safely to Dover at the end of November.

Thank you for being part of Bonnie's journey and for supporting Hope for Turkish Strays.
