Puppies need your help!

We started to notice some abnormal behaviour with our loving dog, Bella. She was sleeping more than normal, not eating as much and her tummy was swollen. After a trip to the vets we were informed that she was pregnant.
Four days later she gave birth to seven gorgeous puppies but sadly one did not make it. This is where the real struggle began. We do not have a garden available to allow them to roam free and we not have the resources to provide for them. There are no dog shelters which have space to take them here in the Algarve as they may end up being put to sleep. This is not something we would consider. A good friend of ours has been able to reach out to someone back in the UK who knows someone can take them (we are waiting the details on where they would go).
To be able to send the puppies back to the UK we have been advised it will cost roughly €400 for two puppies. Totally 1200€ - on top of this they each need to be wormed, vacinated and chipped so they have a passport to be able to travel back to the UK. The puppies are currently two weeks old, we are hoping to be able to send them back by the time they are eight weeks and can comfortably leave their mother.
Our dog means the world to us and the last thing we want to do is separate her from her babies, but we can not provide for them the way they deserve to be cared for. There are people out there who would love to care for a dog with their forever home and we want to give them that chance.
Asking for funds to help is not something we do lightly and even feel comfortable with doing, but it would be exteremely helpful with providing for these beautiful babies, and it would mean the world to us if they were to be homed in a place where they could be cared whole heartedly.
If you could find it in your heart to help us we would feel blessed and eternally grateful for your help and support.
If you know anyone who would love a puppy and can offer them a happy home, please get in touch!
