Where the money goes
All of the dog and greyhound rescues listed on the ‘Buy the book’ page of this web site have been selling the book and raising money for their causes.
Every copy of "A La Bark Baking" purchased from me direct or through this web site, has also raised money for dog rescue – some of the donations made so far are shown below.
The sales of the book have led to the following donations being made so far in 2010/11 :

Ciudad Animal Shelter
A donation was made to the
Ciudad Animal Shelter at Pedro Munoz, a city which is located about
160km in Southern Madrid and about 260km West of Valencia following a
tornado and torrential flooding.
As you can see from these pictures, the dogs are standing in inches of
water without being able to get out onto dry land. There will also be
issues with sanitation and feeding and a host of problems once the water
subsides with bacteria.
The dogs have nothing to play with, most of the time they are alone. There are so many dogs that are urgently looking for their own family. This is also an appeal for people with big hearts and loving homes for them. The dogs need help in many ways but most of all a dry place, then to stop them mobbing others because of lack of toys, the whole situation their contact with people etc.

Flooded kennels and the dogs ………………… A donation was also made to the
San Anton Shelter as this shelter was a victim of the
same tornado. It caused severe
damage, knocking out the electric and water supply for the dogs.

Animal Helpline Dog Rescue
A donation was sent to Animal Helpline to assist with medical bills.
Rosie is a four year old Lurcher girl, now under the care of Animal Helpline, who was picked up by the Police and Dog Warden in the Peterborough area after being hit by a motor vehicle, or possibly thrown from one. She suffered extensive injuries to both hind legs with traumatic dislocation of the right hip and severe musculature damage. Her left leg suffered an open fracture and associated ligament damage. There was also extensive bruising plus several open wounds. Surgery was performed to stabilise the fracture with a plate and the musculature of the right leg re-attached by means of screw and washer.
The fact this lovely girl survived is due to the persistence of the Dog Warden in going the extra mile in ensuring adequate pain relief was made available and enlisting the help of the RSPCA. Several bodies were approached to assist in covering the costs involved - amongst those agreeing to help were Peterborough Council, Dogs Trust and Blue Cross. Although some of the primary care has been covered, funds are still desperately required due to the extensive surgery involved, and funding for the post-operative phase is also required to cover dressings, consultations, drugs and secondary suturing.

Money has also been sent to http://progalgoenglish.wordpress.com/ for winter coats for the hounds and to help with general costs.

Bath Cats and Dogs Home
A donation has been made to Baths Cats and Dogs Home for the Major appeal.

Greyhound and Lurcher Welfare Rescue
Hi, I'm Lucy Lu and I have been sponsored with donations made from the money raised by the sale of the Al La Bark Baking cookbook.
I am two years old but look like I'm ten years old due to my horrible injuries. These injuries mean that GLWR have put me into a long term foster home with, would you believe it, three other greyhounds and even more visiting greyhounds. They tell me that they call this place “Granny’s Dog Centre”. Mind, I love them all to bits.
Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue
A La Bark has sponsored Tinka for a second consecutive year. Tinka is a beautiful lurcher who escaped from travellers and was then hit by a car. Her injuries are such that she can never be rehomed, but she is safe and loved at Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue where she will remain for the remainder of her life.
