I have been helping and homing Greyhounds for fifteen years now and over time have managed to pay for and build a 20 dog kennel with the generous help and funding from kind hearted people and firms who share my vision for seeing more greyhounds live the lives they truly deserve to have.

I now find myself with a spare kennel as I have re-homed quite a few greyhounds to their forever homes.

I can’t bear to see it empty when I know there are greyhounds in Ireland suffering and I can make a big difference to their lives . I can give two dogs who are really suffering and would otherwise have no chance of finding a cosy bed to rest their tired and sore bones a chance to come to UK and find a forever home over here.

Most of you will know that there are greyhounds out there who are truly desperate for help. Too many Greyhounds are pts or ill treated and I have spent long years working within the UK helping retired racers find homes. It’s those hounds I want to give my kennel too so that they can have the best chance ever of finding that cosy bed with warmth and love and lots of cuddles and treats.

I already have the support of lots of people with the help I give our retired Greyhounds and in finding them their forever homes ... but this time I need to ask for just that bit more . I have spent 15 years of my life dedicated to their plight and have had the greatest satisfaction in finding them loving and caring homes.

This time, I want to make the biggest difference to two hounds who are at the end of their tether. I need to raise money to do this. If you can gift any sum of money it would be truly appreciated and put toward this cause.

I don’t care if it’s just pennies ... every one of them will make a difference and if everyone gifted just what they could it would really help make that big difference to the lives to these two hounds.

I can accept gifts of any sum in any way whether that be a one off payment or a regular donation, whether by cheque, cash or Paypal .... any payment will be truly gratefully received and applied in my aim to help these two hounds. I thank you in anticipation of your help and assure you of my commitment to this end.”

‘Please donate as generously as you can. I know that times are particularly hard and there’s very little spare cash around but I really want to help to give two greyhounds from Ireland their chance of finding happy homes.

My donated kennel at Kama’s Cave will be kept especially for the two Irish Greyhounds I want to help. I will not put any other hounds in that kennel as my mission is to make a difference, albeit a small one, to the plight of Irish Greyhounds. I really hope you can find the motivation and financial capability to help me

Every penny will truly make a difference and put me one step closer to achieving what I hope for the two Irish Greyhounds in 2012.

My kindest regards.
