"Three Rainbows"
"Oh dear, that woman she's at it again!", I can almost hear you cry,
And I could nearly forgive you too, but then I've no option but to try
You see I'm that mad dog loving woman, behind the Sharon's Appeals
Who can't look stray dogs in the eye and not offer them a few meals!
Would I just be dreaming, if I thought that a sad rescue tale or two
Could convince everyone to help me, bring the truth back home to you?
So I've searched for some stories, not hard cos they happen every day
Rescued sick, injured & treated, loved & helped happily on their way.
Heidi had all but given up, was found painfully thin and so weak
Carried to safety in loving arms, her future looked very bleak
She was having trouble standing, and had buckshot along her spine
But when the vet examined her, thought best to heal & give her time.
Then along came the shuffling Paloma, she held her back leg aloft
A gentler nature you couldn't find, her heart & eyes so very soft
An age spent walking on a broken leg, in pain and badly bent
X-rays revealed a way to break it and reset it how it was meant.
The third tale is of a loving mother, likely run over or hit by a car
Musa had damage to her leg too, and really couldn't walk that far
She continued to feed her babies, gave them everything she could
One by one they were rescued, they'll live a King's life as they should.
So Noah's ARC they need our help, this small excerpt from just one week
To carry on their special work, hence that's why your support I seek
A dream is a wish our hearts can make, my heart makes a wish of you
That you'll help me fund more rainbows, where rescue dreams come true!
I will be fundraising to raise the money for their medication & treatment - in addition to helping other sick & injured dogs coming into the care of Noah’s Arc. Everything raised will once again be match-funded by Morgan Stanley International Foundation up to a maximum of £2,000 - so there is the potential to raise a total of £4,000 by this appeal.
I will also be coming out to Spain in October for a holiday and will be doing a street collection and further fund raising in the local area. I would very much appreciate your support and hope to see you then.
These dogs need our help and together we really can make their dreams come true!
Thank you.
