Rocky and Rambo: The Return!
Donation protected
Covid has affected us all in different ways. For our dear friend Mandy Kearsley, it meant losing her job in hospitality, after the gates closed to international travel in Thailand. She was then tasked with repatriating herself and her pups; Rocky and Rambo, to Australia. There's no place like home, alas it wasn't as simple as clicking one's ruby slippers to return to the land of Oz.
With Australia’s very strict quarantine laws and massive delays due to COVID, they couldn’t just jump on a plane back to Australia. Instead, Mandy and pups had to spend significant time in an ‘approved’ third country before getting the necessary test results that would allow them to travel to Australia.
After traveling through the skies to Holland, chasing rabbits through parks and encounters with snow we found out that Australian customs won't let Rocky and Rambo call Australia home after all. Their final test failed 12 days before they were due to take the last leg home. Unable to return to Australia, it’s back to Thailand and time to return these boys to the jungle!
As friends of Mandy, we'd like to help get Rocky, Rambo and Mandy back to Thailand. Currently stateless, there's a number of costs involved from additional airfares, further vet consultations, import permits, hotel and doggy quarantine, along with finding them all a new home.
When we mentioned to Mandy that we would like to start a Go Fund Me, she was super thankful. In return, for every person who donates, she will do 1 hours Volunteer work at WWVS Dog Rescue in Thailand to keep good vibes going and to help assure the ongoing care of other dogs in need too.
