Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville – over 400 dogs need help
WE NEED HELP. NOW MORE THAN EVER. There are times when a protector doesn’t need applause. Today we have over 400 animals in our care. Over 400 lives that depend entirely on us to eat, receive veterinary care and have a chance at a future. Among them are more than 40 animals with complex and serious veterinary treatments. Injured, sick dogs, recovering from surgeries, animals needing daily medication, tests, income and constant care. They are added to our cats and many other cases that require continuous attention.
The reality is we don’t have public aid. We don’t receive grants to cover this work. Everything we do, every rescue, every operation, every thoughtbag, every medicine, every life saved, exists because of the people who decide to help us. Thanks to you guys. (more…)
