Raising funds for Tally’s Surgery
Tally has spent the last year in the care of One Wish Dog Foundation, patiently waiting for the loving family she so deserves. At just six years old, this beautiful American Bulldog has already endured more hardship than any dog should ever have to face.

Before being rescued by One Wish, Tally was repeatedly bred from, passed from place to place, and ultimately abandoned in appalling conditions. Found starving in a filthy drug den, she was suffering from severe mange, infections and extreme emaciation. Her eyes were swollen almost shut, most of her fur had fallen out, and her body was weak from neglect and confinement.

Yet despite everything she has endured, Tally remains one of the gentlest, most trusting dogs you could ever meet. With the love and dedication of her foster carers, alongside expert veterinary treatment, she has made an incredible recovery and continues to blossom.

Now, Tally faces another challenge. She urgently needs double cruciate surgery to give her the pain-free, comfortable future she deserves. This life-changing surgery will help her enjoy walks, play and simply live without discomfort.

Please vote for One Wish Dog Foundation through #DoggyLottery. Funds raised will go towards Tally’s double cruciate surgery and help give this remarkable girl the happy, healthy future she deserves.

Founded in 2025 by a small (but mighty!) team of dog lovers, The One Wish Dog Foundation (registered charity no: 1212997) rescues and rehomes unwanted and abandoned dogs in the Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire areas. We provide love and sanctuary to dogs in need, with the ultimate goal of finding their forever homes.

We are also committed to promoting responsible dog ownership and welfare, providing support for rescue dog owners, and campaigning for change.

A small charity with big ambitions, we promise to transform as many lives as we can, one dog at a time.

Raising funds for Tyson's Surgery
This brave, gentle lad is currently in a loving foster home while he awaits major surgery on both of his back legs due to luxating patellas.

His first operation is planned for September, when the cooler weather will give him the best chance of a smooth, comfortable recovery. The full cost of repairing both legs is £5,000, and every single pound raised brings Tyson closer to the pain-free future he deserves.

Despite everything he’s been through, Tyson is the kind of dog who simply takes life in his stride. He’s bright, affectionate, endlessly patient and full of heart. We don’t know whether he was abandoned at the pound because of his leg problems, but the moment we met him, we knew we couldn’t leave him behind.

Please vote for Friends of Akitas Trust (UK) through #DoggyLottery. Funds raised will go towards Tyson’s leg surgeries, helping to get him back on his feet and giving him the chance to run, play and enjoy the life he should always have had.

Friends of Akitas Trust (UK) was born in 2007 when it became apparent that a number of Akitas every week were ending up in the council pounds with only seven days to find a home before destruction.

Our aim is to get as many of these Akitas as possible into ’safe’ kennels and ultimately into new forever homes. In addition to helping stray dogs we also assist Akitas whose owners can no longer keep them for a variety of reasons. We rescue and rehome any Akita which needs it, through assessing both the dog and potential owners to ensure a well-matched and long lasting, happy relationship. We take in Akitas of all ages, the young, the elderly and everyone in between, we also take in Akitas that are ill and need veterinary attention.

We are a completely voluntary Charity with a voluntary management team to oversee the day to day running of the rescue and we are supported by a fabulous team of nationwide volunteers who we would be lost without. Together we have saved countless Akitas and sadly there will be many more that we are still to meet.

Raising funds for Remi & Her Puppies’ Vet Care

Remi is a French Bulldog cross Pug who came into the care of Chesterfield Animal Rescue in need of urgent veterinary treatment after a puppy became stuck during birth.

Thankfully, Remi and her puppies are now safe, but their care is far from over. Remi and her puppies will need full vaccinations and microchipping, as well as neutering when they are ready. The charity is also covering their ongoing food, flea and worm treatments and other essential care.

Please vote for Chesterfield Animal Rescue through #DoggyLottery. Funds raised will go towards Remi and her puppies’ vaccinations, microchipping, neutering and ongoing care.

Here at Chesterfield Animal Rescue we are a no-kill animal rescue founded in July 2012 by a team of animal lovers dedicated to saving the lives of as many dogs and cats as possible each year. We rely on donations to continue saving lives, we are fundraising to buy our own rescue and rehabilitation centre, something that will enable us to help thousands more animals over the years.

We assess animals in our homes, we use foster homes where possible, and we use kennels in emergencies. We are always in need of more foster homes, sponsors and donations.
