This week Mitch and Kelly volunteered to be locked up for 24 hours ...

Thursday 12th May 2022


Mitch and Kelly chose to be locked up, separately from each other, for 24h in a doghouse in our shelter.

They did it to raise awareness of what it must feel to be locked up in a noisy environment scared, confused and in some cases far from your family. They want to draw your attention to the millions of dogs (and cats) who through no fault of their own end up in a shelter. Animals that often have known a home and are now locked up between 4 walls and bars. Hours, days of endless boredom pass by, where they have to beg for every bit of attention, for a stroke from a caretaker or volunteer. And hoping that this one person, this one owner will notice them, give them a chance for a new life. Mitch and Kelly want to show solidarity with these animals and also feel how it feels to be locked up like this. Who will give them a boost and support them (and our sweethearts) with a donation? 

The day and time arrived. At 3pm on 10th May they were ready.

Mitch was interviewed on Radio 2 ... https://radio2.be/luister/select/radio-2-spits/mitch-zit-24-uur-in-hondenhok-met-rottweiler-maurice-we-delen-alles-behalve-zijn-eetbak


Kelly was interviewed by Rijnmond.

Kelly, a carer, locks herself up for 24 hours in a dog kennel in Spain: 'This way I really know what shelter dogs go through'. ..  https://www.rijnmond.nl/nieuws/1498544/verzorger-kelly-sluit-zich-24-uur-op-in-een-hondenhok-in-spanje-zo-weet-ik-pas-echt-wat-asielhonden-doormaken  

We went on line in Mijas too!
Everyone was on board! 

Hopefully the message will work!

There are 2 parts to the report:  


They stayed in their cages all night and then there were just a few more hours before they could go home. But ...  the thousands of dumped dogs  in rescue centres, wherever they are, "sit" and wait...Day in and day out... Waiting for that one owner to get them out of the cage...Waiting...the loneliness...the loud barking...the memories of home...so many to mention....

There is only one important message... Adopt us, but not for a short time...but for life...
