Birmingham Dogs Home is asking people to get involved in a ‘Spring into May’ fundraising challenge, to raise funds for the dogs in its care.
The centre is encouraging participants to choose their own challenge to complete over the month, such as walking, running, cycling, or any personal goal. The suggested fundraising target is £100, and everyone reaching the £50 mid-point will receive a free gift of thanks.
The money raised will provide shelter, food, and medical treatment for the dogs cared by Birmingham Dogs Home. It costs the charity £6,000 a day just to stay open and relies solely on donations to rescue more than 2,000 abandoned and unwanted dogs each year.
Rachel Frost, events & community fundraising manager, at Birmingham Dogs Home, said: “Every step you take helps a dog in need. We think that’s amazing. This May, we’re encouraging you to challenge yourself, support local rescue dogs and make the month really matter.
“Our four-legged friends will thank you for your kindness and determination. We wouldn’t be able to care for them without you.”
