HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MOTHER HEN! ❤️🐔

Every flock needs a Mother Hen, and ours is incredibly lucky to have you!!

You’re so much more than the person who keeps us all in check. You’re our support, our sounding board, our calm amongst the chaos and someone who genuinely cares about every single one of us.

The time, love and energy you give to our little flock never goes unnoticed. We honestly wouldn’t be the same without you, and we’re so grateful to have you in our lives.

This birthday, we’d love to turn a little celebration into something meaningful for a cause very close to our hearts.

Through Helen at Pawsitive Futures, we support SHS Harbin Animal Rescue (slaughter house rescue) in China who yesterday witnessed the desecration of the their small dog and staff quarters by fire. Tragically, 6 dogs and 1 cat lost their lives. The number could have been so much higher if it weren’t for the incredible staff who risked their own lives to save these precious souls.

We kept abreast of the developments as they unfolded and just wanted to help but there was nothing we could do from so far away. So, if you’d like to give Mother Hen a little birthday gift, she’d love you to make a donation towards helping Harbin recover from this devastating tragedy.

Donations can be made to:

Account number: 65816348
Sort code: 60-83-71

Reference: SHSH/CLARE

Every penny will go towards helping the rescue.

Happy birthday, Mother Hen. We love you more than you probably realise, and we’re very lucky to have you at the heart of our flock.

OUR OCTOBER DONATION DAY
£280 RAISED

On Saturday 10th October, Lulu held another donation day, giving 100% of her earnings from a full working day to help animals in need.

Thanks to everyone who booked, donated and supported the day, we raised £280. to help some very deserving animals.

Here’s where your kindness has gone:

£100 —Pawsitive Futures UK Disabled Dog Rescue
Father Teds Dental Bill
Father Ted is a deaf-blind dog cared for by Helen. His recent dental bill came to a whopping £1,100 after he needed multiple teeth removed, including one with a hole that was causing him considerable pain. He’s already recovering really well, and we hope this helps give him a more comfortable, pain-free future.

£30 — Ollie
One of our lovely cat-loving clients asked for their donation to go to Ollie, a cat cared for by Helen who has no use of his back legs. Helen will put this towards the medical supplies he relies on every single day.

£100 — Broken Biscuits
Broken Biscuits support paraplegic dogs and other dogs in need, and they’re facing mounting, outstanding vet bills. We know £100 is only a small scratch on the surface, but every little bit helps ease the pressure and support the dogs who depend on them.

£50 — Tiny Paws of Hope
A cat charity helping cats in Cyprus find loving, forever homes. We’re delighted to contribute towards their work giving these cats the chance of a brighter future.

It might feel like a small amount in a world where the need is so enormous, but every donation makes a difference to an animal who needs it.

To everyone who donated, supported us and continues to believe in what we do, thank you.
