Too many animals were abandoned this week and we don't have kennels to house them. the cold and rain is too much for them, most of the new ones are skinny sick animals..... Help whichever way you can, food, worming pills, money for the kennels..Most of the new ones are pregnant females that MUST be sterilised immediately and we don't know how we will pay the vet. PLEASE HELP!!!!!" (24 December 2012, NAWS Facebook))
