Sponsor Tuts

A BLACK BEAUTY

Way back in January 2016, Tuts was a tiny little puppy, suffering from severe skin disease, who was discovered and named by our volunteer, Kitty.

Back then we didn’t have the clinic we do now, so she underwent treatment at OG WECarer Malaka’s house, gradually getting fluffier and fluffier as her hair grew back.

We had a few setbacks with calcium deficiency issues, but Tuts was ready for rehoming in a matter of months. (We couldn’t put her back on the streets as she’d been with us since a pup, so would have no idea how to survive.) However, we’ve never been able to find our girl Tuts a home.

The mathematically gifted among you will have clocked that Tuts has been with us almost three years. While we adore all our dogs and give them the love and care they need and deserve, we’re not a shelter.

WECare should be a temporary holiday home before our dogs find forever homes, but Tuts’ shy nature means she never really warms to people who come looking for dogs, as she takes a while to trust new humans. When she does though, she’s as affectionate as they come.

It costs us a loooooooot of money housing healthy dogs, so if you want to become one of Tuts’ sponsors to help us out with her living costs, then holler.

Found this pic, which always makes us laugh as Jono and Janey look pissssssssed off, and we were going to make a joke about it but actually we thought we’d get real for a minute and be honest. These are the faces you don’t see behind the cheery social media façade. We’re exhausted. We’re overwhelmed. We’re sometimes not sure how much longer we can do this, and we feel guilty for even having those thoughts. We all bloody love our jobs, but we’ve been running on ‘emergencies only’ with skeleton staff for over a year now and the community dogs didn’t get the message – there’s a revolving door of injured animals and we just can’t keep up. Our kennels are full. We’re using all our pop-ups. Every day we have to turn away poorly dogs because they’re just not poorly enough (!). We’re turning way cases that would be classed as serious emergencies in the UK, because they’re just not serious enough to make the cut here. We can’t take in a dog with a TVT when we only have one spot free and know we already have a dog with a huge knife wound waiting for us. We have a long waiting list of dogs in our area, ready to fill any empty kennels, and the dogs just keep coming. Puppies are being dumped on us every week. We’ve been struggling by with only two vets for a long time now and it’s just not sustainable. A year ago we thought everything would be back to normal ‘in a few months’ and yet here we are, no closer to being able to operate like we used to. We’re all desperate for a break but we can’t go anywhere until we have new staff to relieve us. And they don’t seem to be coming any time soon. People often don’t take us seriously as a job offer (do other NGOs get this?) and drop out at the last minute, not realising how much we were relying on them coming. There’s honestly a new hurdle every day. Sometimes we laugh about it, sometimes we cry. [continued in comments...]
WECare is hiring vets and a social media assistant! 🐶🌴 Got what it takes to come join the WECare family? 🧐 Current vacancies: - Vets (3+ years experience) - Social media/admin assistant All roles are paid (local salary) and are based right here at the WECare hospital on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Looking for committed people who can fly out ASAP (if you're not already on the island). We love our short-term volunteers but this past year has taught us that long-term, full-time staff are the only way to sustainably run the charity and keep it moving forward. We have big plans for WECare but we don't currently have the staff to execute them - want to be part of something exciting and rewarding? We want to hear from you! COVID INFO: Fully vaccinated travellers don't need to quarantine as long as a PCR test is passed on day one of your stay. Unvaccinated folks must spend two weeks in hotel quarantine (there's a lovely one just down the road, right on the beach). Please email info@wecareworldwide.org.uk if you think you've got what it takes ✌️ ~ ~ ~ ~ #vetjob #vetjobs #vetlocum #veterinaryjobs #socialmediajobs #charityjobs #creativejobs #lankalivin #streetdogs #travelsrilanka #adoptdontshop #lankalife #bethechange #puppiesinparadise #vet #vetmed #veterinary #vetlyfe #surfsrilanka #wecare #srilanka #streetvet #srilankanstreetdogs #vetschool #charity #vetnurse #charitysrilanka
This is is Maya. She's a WECare resident dog. Maya spends 90% of her awake time demanding cuddles and the rest playing her version of 'fetch' 🎾 Our resident dogs are dogs that we can't put back on the street, who live in our garden while awaiting rehoming. Long-term resident dogs - like Maya - get upgraded to our 'sponsor a dog' list, where their board and care is funded by kind people like yourself, until they (hopefully) one day find their forever home 👋 Why not become a sponsor of a WECare dog (or cat!) today? It's only £10/month for monthly pics/vids/updates of the clinic and your chosen animal. Bargain!
