O.U.R April Newsletter

Our April 2026 newsletter highlights the intense emotional and logistical challenges faced by its volunteers, who work tirelessly to rescue dogs from Romanian "kill shelters" while managing their own full-time jobs and personal lives. We emphasise the vital need for foster placements and the heavy financial toll of long-term kennel costs, which threaten our ability to continue our life-saving work.

To support these efforts, the newsletter showcases several fundraising initiatives, including a new Vinted store that has already raised over £200, a successful community quiz night that generated £1,000, and an ongoing 100-mile charity walk by a supporter and his rescue dog..

Beyond fundraising, the newsletter provides updates on specific dogs, such as Sonny, who is seeking a sponsor while he recovers from a leg injury in Romania, and Mushroom, a "mushy" 37kg dog in Hampshire looking for a quiet, pet-free forever home.

It also features a lighthearted "Month of Firsts" diary entry from a rescue dog named Zoe, detailing her brave transition to park visits and pub trips. Additionally, we offer practical advice for owners on engaging their dogs with free, brain-boosting household games and encourage supporters to use EasyFundraising to generate donations through everyday online shopping.
