***WINTER APPEAL***
~ Today, we launch our Winter Appeal. Please donate what you can HERE to help Oldies Club keep its doors open and give older dogs in need, in the UK, a second chance at life this winter ?

 

Oldies Club is a volunteer-run charity that rescues and rehomes older dogs in the UK. Our vet bills are our primary expense, reaching almost £42,000 total for just the three months August to October 2022, which is a lot of money for a little charity to find. We hope by launching this campaign to raise additional funds to help us through the coming months and enable us to welcome more older dogs into the warmth of our care this winter, and that those of you who can donate, will, to help us reach our appeal target ?
The veterinary treatment we provide for the dogs in our care often transforms their lives physically and enables them to go onto their forever homes to enjoy their lives for years to come. Alongside the physical transformations that can be readily observed though, there is another transformation, perfectly illustrated in the photos chosen to launch this campaign, where an older dog finds joy in their life again, when they blossom in Oldies Club care. This isn’t something we can put a price on in the way we can with any physical ailments that are treated, but it represents such a positive change for those dogs and, like the veterinary care, is something we can’t enable without the financial support that allows us to bring these dogs into Oldies Club in the first place.
It is particularly upsetting to have to turn away a dog in urgent need, who cannot wait weeks/months for a chance to come into rescue. The dog featured in our campaign photos found themselves in desperate need one winter, having come very close to being put to sleep, but Oldies Club was thankfully in a position then to be able to find a last-minute foster home.
