Help Lurcher SOS Sighthound Rescue

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Animal Lovers,

Lurcher SOS is a charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Lurchers, Greyhounds and all other Sighthounds in need. For over 15 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to save these beautiful dogs, many of whom have faced neglect, abuse, and abandonment. But now, we need your help.

The Situation

Due to an unprecedented number of dogs requiring emergency boarding, Lurcher SOS is facing a severe financial crisis. Currently, emergency kennels cost £8 per dog per day (a reduced rate is kindly given to us by our kennel partners) which is a significant cost for us to manage as a small rescue. While we are committed to providing the best care for these dogs, these costs are overwhelming our small charity, and the funds we usually rely on are dwindling.

The need for emergency boarding has arisen because we have lost a number of foster homes recently and haven’t had many new volunteers come forward to foster. Foster homes are the backbone of our work—without them, we simply cannot rescue and rehabilitate these dogs. Unfortunately, with the shortage of fosters, emergency boarding has become our only option, significantly increasing our expenses.

Why We Need Your Support

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards the care of these dogs. Your contribution will help cover:

Emergency Boarding Costs: £8 per dog per day may not sound like much, but with four dogs needing emergency boarding space, it quickly adds up.

Veterinary Care: Many of our dogs arrive with health issues that require immediate attention, from vaccinations to dentals and more serious medical treatments.

Food and Supplies: Nutritious food, bedding, and other essentials to keep our dogs healthy and comfortable.

Rehoming Efforts: Helping these dogs find their forever homes through outreach and support for potential adopters.

How You Can Help

Donate: Any amount you can spare will make a huge difference in the lives of these dogs. Whether it’s £5 or £50, every penny counts.

Share: Spread the word about our campaign. The more people who know about our cause, the more support we can gather.

Why Lurcher SOS?

We are a dedicated, passionate group of volunteers who believe every dog deserves a chance to live a happy and fulfilled life. Our charity has a proven track record of rescuing and rehoming dogs, and we are committed to continuing this vital work. With your help, we can overcome this financial challenge and continue saving lives.

Thank you for your support, compassion, and generosity. Together, we can give these dogs the futures they deserve.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Lurcher SOS Team
