This is an urgent appeal.
Disaster threatens our beloved refuge and our precious dogs. All winter we were praying for rain. All summer as it got hotter and hotter we carried on praying. It remained dry as the desert. Yesterday the water turned brown and then gave out. Dirk heroically climbed down into the well. Nothing. No water. Just mud.
We do not have mains water. We are not connected to the town's water supply. There are tankers that supply water - they want €150 for 10,000 litres. That is barely enough to keep us going for one day. The dogs need to drink, we need to keep them cool in this heat in the little paddling pools. We have to wash them, there's the laundry - so much laundry every day.
The clinic needs a good supply of water so the vets can treat the sick dogs. Not forgetting the water needed to clean - every day our army of workers students and helpers have to hose down the cages and the common parts to keep the refuge spotless, to make sure our dogs stay clean and healthy.
Who can help? Please, anyone who can offer donations, practical help, ideas. Anything. I can't stress how critical this is. Without water our dogs will die
