🚨🐾 URGENT PAW-LEASE, FROM MY HEART TO YOURS 🐾🚨

— Shadow, MuttMix Ambassador & face of The Shadow Project typing with very worried paws —

Hi my beautiful furriends… this is one of those posts where my tail isn’t wagging and my ears are doing the big sad droop. 💔

Our rescue heroes at The Blue Bundu Brigade Animal Rescue & Rehoming NPC Reg No 2019/317472/08 are in BIG trouble.
Their rescue vehicle — the one that carries hope, food, blankets, and scared little souls — has had its engine give up completely.
And that means right now:
🐾 No home checks for adoptions
🐾 No rescues of animals in danger
🐾 No vet trips for the sick and injured
🐾 No way to reach dogs who are waiting for help
Basically… the rescue has been forced to PAUSE, and doggies in need don’t have a pause button. 😔

So my furriends, I am asking with my whole fluffy heart:
*Please take part in the raffle (R50 per ticket) — link will be in the comments.
*Or if you can’t do the raffle, any donation helps, even the price of one squeaky toy.
Every single rand goes toward getting that engine fixed so the rescue can get back on the road and back to saving lives.

And good news for hoomans who like boring grown-up paperwork (no judgment, I chew paperwork too):
📄 They can issue a Section 18A tax certificate for donations.
Please remember… rescues don’t stop because they’re tired.
They stop because resources run out.
And right now, Blue Bundu’s biggest resource — their wheels — are broken. 💔

If you’ve ever loved a rescue dog…
If you’ve ever shared a happy tail-wag story…
If you’ve ever thought “someone should help”… today, YOU can be that someone.
From one rescue boy who got a second chance,
to all the angels who give other doggies theirs…
Thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and caring. 🐾💙
Now please excuse me while I go boop Mom until she posts that raffle link VERY FAST.
Urgent paws mean urgent boops.

Love, licks and hope,
Shadow 🐾
MuttMix Ambassador & proud rescue pup
