Contribute positively to the welfare of rescue animals and potentially save a life. You can make a difference by either donating your store credit or forgoing your morning coffee. Your donation to Amazing Greys & Forever Friends is vital in providing care for their animals, as they do not receive funding from the animal care industry and rely solely on the generosity of the public. There is no minimum donation amount, so you can give as much or as little as you like. Your money will be distributed to both Amazing Greys, & Forever Friends. If you would to to contribute to another organisation or just one of our partners, please email us with your preferred organisation. To donate your store credit, simply enter your discount code at checkout and we will process the payment to directly contribute to both Forever Friends, and Amazing Greys. If you require a receipt for your donation, please reach out to us and we will gladly provide one. HOW THEY USE OUR DONATIONS VET BILLS Oh boy, do they have huge vet bills. All of Forever Friends & Amazing Grey's rescue animals who are saved get de-sexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, dental care, worm and flea treatment. Some ex-racing greyhounds have also mysterious and old injuries: broken bones, muscle tears, tendon injuries. Some of these have not been attended to when they occurred and have sort of healed, but not properly. Intermittent lameness is often the result, and vet trips for pain relief are necessary. ESSENTIALS Every foster dog gets their own bag of essentials. When a greyhound arrives in foster care, they have nothing but a cheap plastic collar fastened tight around their neck. The team purchases products like a collar, lead, harness, bed, fleece coat for winter, bowls, toys and treats for the new arrival to settle into fostercare, and these become their belongings when it is time to move into their forever home. Pet Pawz helps out weekly by donating new beds, injury ramps, gates & more to help this process become as smooth as possible. LEARNING The typical rescue animal does not learn much about the world outside of racing kennels and farm life. New sights, sounds and smells can be scary at first, and skills such as loose lead walking, polite interactions with other animals and being happy to be home alone for a short time need to be learned.
