Goal
My name is Michelle Robertson director of Dog Desk Animal Action CIC
I am taking part in #MoveItForDogs for three months. I want to lose weight through exercise & have chosen an extended time period of activity because I am disabled & the challenge will be difficult for me.
I will be doing fat burning exercises in my wheelchair using wrist weights progressing to dumbells.
Each day I will be doing the following exercises, increasing the number over the 3 month period
1. Butterfly
2.Backstrokes
3. Upward breaststroke
4.Frontcrawl
I am doing this because I want to raise money for our clinic. We respond to emergencies almost every day, the dogs who come in to our care have nobody, they would die without us. If we have no money to treat them they will die.
Our shelter in Turkey is home to more than 572 dogs with new dogs in need arriving every week.
Our dogs have either been born on the street or cruelly abandoned to fend for themselves by their owners.
Many dogs are brought to us because they have been moved on by municipalities who dump them in remote areas such as forests and rubbish dumps. Without food or water they die quickly.
Other dogs living with us have been at risk from shooting, drowning, beating to death, poisoning & being run over on purpose.
Our shelter has purpose built accommodation for the dogs and a much needed onsite clinic.
We are a safe haven for these dogs who have nobody else. Without us they would die.
We rely entirely on the kindness of supporters to maintain the shelter which operates hand to mouth.
We are asking you to raise funds for our clinic so that we can treat the dogs which come in needing surgeries and other medical care.
