As you will be aware our first priority is to support responsible dog breeding and within our breed we try to ensure that any in need are supported and rehomed by their breeder or our Club Rescue. However, not every dog is as fortunate and many fall on hard times through no fault of their own or for that matter their human. Oh there are dreadful tales of abuse by humans but equally many are forced to move to housing that does not take dogs or are taken ill and not able to look after their beloved pet. That is where organisations such as Blue Cross come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue Cross is a wonderful charity that works in the UK to take care of and rehome those dogs who find themselves homeless. To help them in their work Blue Cross are running a suppawt campaign. We\u2019d like you all to do your bit to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charity is aiming to rehome one pet an hour by the end of this year and you can help them by sharing the video and showing your #suppawt. You can donate to them by texting suppawt to 70907. That will cost you \u00a35 which will go to the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a charity they have been going since 1897 and have rehomed more animals in that time<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/017aba8b355f4ef872d8cd8f12ec956aef373406c0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/017aba8b355f4ef872d8cd8f12ec956aef373406c0-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pawbump your human to show your #suppawt\" class=\"wp-image-11034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/017aba8b355f4ef872d8cd8f12ec956aef373406c0-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/017aba8b355f4ef872d8cd8f12ec956aef373406c0.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pawbump your human to show your #suppawt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>than I could ever count.
