Latest news from Natural Cornish Pet.
The PetQuip Independent Retailer of the Year, Natural Cornish Pet has teamed up with The Dog Groomery (Paulton, Somerset) who are travelling to the Ukraine border to help animals in need.
The first van full of supplies goes out this Wednesday. They have planned to travel in convoy and in conjunction with Dogbus Transporting Paws, Saving Lives. Registered Charity Number 1196229 - a wonderful charity that rescues dogs and cats internationally. This will be the first of six planned trips by the charity.
Maddie Peck in charge of marketing at Natural Cornish Pet said,
“As we know, the Ukrainian people and animals are desperate and in need of help. Families are fleeing to safety with their pets with very few belongings and supplies. The team will leave on Wednesday and meet their convoy at the euro tunnel to drive across Europe. One of the team’s vehicles will cross into Ukraine taking in supplies from the van. Please donate to this fundraiser, we want to aid in filling future vans and help with the raising of the funds to enable the team to get there.
“They are mainly asking for large bags (12-15kg) of dog/cat feed, which will go directly over the border into shelters. The other vehicles are taking smaller food bags to help families on the move feed and keep safe their beloved pets.
“We can’t even imagine how scary life is for these people and pets right now and what uncertainties they might be facing. Many of us locally have wondered how we can help; now you can.
“We'd like to thank Kate & Clint from the Dog Groomery in Paulton in inviting us to be part of aiding our friends in Ukraine. “
