I used to support the Dogs Trust for years, I sponsored 4 dogs at a time (think they kept giving me the old ones cos they kept dying and I’d get a letter saying Rex has died so here you can have Buddy now! It was quite upsetting
)
Anyway they used to send out letters, fridge magnets, raffle ticket books and the magazine, so I said to them please can you not send any of this stuff and use the money for the actual dogs
But they kept sending it every month so I thought how much of our donations are actually being spent on caring for the dogs
so I stopped a few years ago and now I support our local rescue cos I know every penny they get is for the animals.
When I saw hunch getting paid for posts about them I was so glad that I did!
