Pingu Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Oh no Can we organise to do a run up to them to take some vet bed, plastic beds and food etc?? I remember taking a Staffie up there to them. What fantastic people they were. I think we should all rally around to help. I don't mind trying to organise stuff, a fundraiser etc. If it could be allowed. Kazz xx sounds like an appeal we can help set up. will sort something out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieK9 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I spoke to three volunteers over the weekend, they are all shocked and upset, they were in urgent need of housing but have got crates now (thankfully the Christmas Fair last week did well so some funds were used.) The small dog and puppy unit has gone as well as the kitchen, they have no electricity but that should be sorted soon. They are in urgent need of bedding, blankets, fleeces, towels etc. If anyone can take to the shelter (or to one of the shops) or post that would be great. http://www.freshfieldsrescue.org.uk/ One of the volunteers put an appeal on Freecycle and lots of people have offered to help out but any offers of help would be appreciated too. A new shop will be opening in Formby in the New Year so items for that would be good too. Run free Marni xx sounds like an appeal we can help set up. will sort something out tomorrow Thanks Pingu I have some stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heva Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 sorry was out all day yesterday at a wedding! Anything that people can do they will be so thankful....... i was there rep on there but then had to leave when worked full time at DT.....but still speak to ppl and each dog there is like one of there own......i knwo the press quoted that but freshfieds gets under your skin because everyone works so hard and long hours! There a 24hrs a day rescue with emergency call outs! The block that went on fire has 5 large kennels which house up to 3/4 dogs at a time so thats ALOT of space gone als means they cant help any pups or isolation dogs .......this will effect the area quite a bit at this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazz xx was going to say that myself I have a couple of old blankets, pillows and duvets that I was going to donate somewhere - I will be sending them to freshfields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heva Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 im thinking of doing a tesco delivery to the centre with some dog treats in but also some treat for the staff as im sure they could do with knowing people care about them and thank them for what they have done! the two staff who rushed in and saved all the other dogs must be in real shock.

Laurel n Hardy Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 just a thought ! what do P A H do when people return collars, leads etc where they have been worn, and are a bit grubby and werent the right ones for the dogs concerned. I took back a harness about 18 months ago for a swap, and they did it no questions asked. I didnt have the packaging and it had been worn a couiple of times too Can we approach PAH to see if they have any used stock that they can't sell of collars leads, beds bowls etc Worth a try at your local PAH store, if i can get to mine it's worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
