It’s been a bad weekend for Australia. We don’t really understand much of it, but in Victoria (down the bottom right hand corner of our country) there have been some really bad fires. We know what fires are, but can’t imagine what it would be like if those fires were as big as buildings and burned everything in their path!
It’s very sad, but lots of people have died in the bushfires. Lots of animals have too – people’s pets like dogs, cats and horses, livestock like cows and sheep, plus all the wildlife – kangaroos and birdies. Whole towns have burned down – houses, schools, shops, everything!
I don’t think it would be a very nice place right now, we are very thankful we live where we do.
Anyways we were hoping you guys could do what our Mum has done and help out the poor doggies and their families who have lost their houses and in some cases, lost each other.
If you want to reach out and help the people and their doggies who have been affected by the bushfires, please go to this link, or read below:
MDBA is an organisation in Australia trying to improve the reputation of dog breeders etc.. here is the intro from their site http://www.mdba.net.au
The MDBA screens their members in an attempt to offer a clear distinction for the pet buyer between a reputable and ethical dog breeder, welfare organisation and pet care worker and others who may be less ethical. In a nut shell, we have done all we can to take the risks out of buying a new family dog.
Below is their request for assistance – any help – no matter how small - will go towards helping those who have lost loved ones, property and pets from these terrible fires.
Lots of dog people in Vic around Yarra Glen, Warburton, Kilmore, Wondong, Flowerdale and surrounding areas have lost their homes, some their dogs. Many were trapped on roads/properties and unable to get out.
The MDBA has a non profit company – Master Dog Breeders Emergency Aid set up to collect and help where required.
We are now calling for donations urgently to help dog owners who are in dire straights.
This is a truly urgent call for assistance. Even small donations will all help.
Bank details are Commonwealth Bank bsb 064418 account number 10176490
Overseas donations and credit card to PayPal info@mdba.net.au
Please reach out and help these poor doggies and their families.
