As many of you know I am a coordinator for Saints Sled Dog Rescue and if you follow me on Facebook you will know of my long and painful battle with Hip dysplasia.

On February 6th I will be having my 9th Hip/pelvic surgery, previous metalwork in my pelvis will be removed and if all goes smoothly I will have my hip replacement on the same day.Pelvic surgery is extremely painful and getting about after is not easy.

On March 1st I will be doing a somewhat unothodox fundraiser, I will be doing a 5k walk on my crutches to raise funds for SSDR.

Times are really hard and we have huge Kennel and vet bills to pay. If you can donate even £1 to my fundraiser It would be greatly appreciated.

I will be doing updates along the way with my recovery and practice for this event. A 5k walk doesn't sound much but whilst on crutches with limited mobility it's going to be really tough.

Saints Sled Dog Rescue was created back in 2013 when a little girl Athena, the three legged Siberian Husky couldn't find a rescue placement due to needing medical treatment. Foster Mum, Heather Saville took her into her care raising £800 in just a few short hours covering costs of her leg amputation and after care!!

From that moment Heather KNEW she had to do something different and she founded SSDR - who rescue sled dog breeds NO MATTER WHAT!

We are a registered, nationwide charity run by experienced staff who aim to help as many unwanted, neglected or stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes through the process of fostering, rehabilitating and re-homing, or simply by supporting their owners with help and advice.

The team work alongside other rescue organisations, dog pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all sled dogs are re-homed in the BEST possible environment which suits each dogs needs.
