Pls RT 🙏 For the first time ever we paid for a press ad, and didn’t get a single enquiry 😢 The week before we got just one call.
Things are so bad on the rehoming front we are having to explore all avenues, and the hope was this we would reach a new audience in Gtr Manchester who perhaps aren’t on social media.
If we just could get just one enquiry today through the power of RTs we would consider it a success. That’s how few homes there are out there.… even less for the more difficult to rehome dogs. We only have possible interest for Midge at the moment. Please email adopt@dogs4rescue.co.uk which will go direct to our rehoming team.
If you are looking for an easier dog and live in any of the 10 Greater Manchester boroughs, or surrounding areas please still get in touch. We are asked to take dogs every day and the more people we have on our waiting list, the more dogs we can save 💜
