This needs sharing!! Animal abuse is not acceptable anywhere. If you are a journalist and can help @NiallHarbison then please do. The time is now.
Replying to @NiallHarbison
If there are any journalists out there who would cover this I can connect you with locals. This is a big story of animal abuse at scale. My DMs are open or just mail me niall@happydoggo.com if you can help raise awareness about the real story of 1 million dogs

Any teenager can be a cyberattacker now, parents warned - our research by @JuliaDavidson13 was featured in @thetimes 👇 'The hacks of M&S and the Co-op have drawn attention to the fact that such crimes are no longer the preserve of experienced coders.' thetimes.com/article/696feae…

Urgent, please retweet to help Alan find a foster or forever home #CHESHIRE #UK - Registered British charity. Sat May 20th 2025 🐶😰 EMERGENCY . Alan has lived in a house all of his life with his dad, unfortunately his dad passed yesterday leaving Alan all by himself wondering what’s happening. His entire world has fallen apart We’re currently looking for either a foster (until he finds his forever home) or someone who wants to adopt him. The time is of the essence for Alan, as nobody can look after him after the 23rd May - due to kennels being full. Alan is a 9/10 year old lurcher who is dog friendly with all breeds, and he’s house trained. He is also children friendly. Alan can be left alone for a couple of hours too. We are desperate to find Alan a loving family to re-build his world; as he has nowhere else to go. Please if you can help, either fill out an application or message us. Hopefully we can find someone who can give support and love to this wonderful boy. To apply; forms.gle/G4tdady6i8z3ZuQv5 #dogs #dog #Lurchers #greyhounds #England #Warrington

It can be a difficult decision to bring something to a close, which it was, but I only need to look back on all the girls we have supported at FREEDOM 2 to know it was so worth it ❤️

An important one. Something people always ask but I never have pushed. To start… ✂️ We will sterilise 42,000 dogs this year 🥘 Feed 1000 per day 🏡 Will re-home 50 💊 1000s of meds and treatments. People always ask how they can help. There is one simple way… ✅ A small monthly donation here… happydoggo.com/donate This allows us to plan at scale and to really ramp up how many dogs we help. We have very ambitious plans in 2025. I’ve never really shared that link before and we are a registered charity in the UK and USA. Any support massively appreciated 🥰🙏 (normal upbeat happy content back after this post. I hate pushing donations but so many people ask I thought I’d share it once)

1 in 10 children aged 10-15 have spoken to a stranger online. This opens the door to grooming and abuse. As teachers and educators, you’ve got a role to play in keeping your students safe online. Check our free resources and learn more at thinkbeforeyoushare.org/teac….

“Just call 111, press 2.” The NHS has launched a new crisis helpline on 111, giving you another way to get urgent help if you’re struggling with your mental health. It’s a step in the right direction, but it’s only part of the solution. (1/4)
