The Blueboys Christmas Appeal 2023
Donation protected
Donate for Darren ♥️
Please share this around so other dog lovers can help too. My name is Jenny Hall and I am the owner of @the_blueboys on Instagram. We live in Brisbane Australia.
Over the past 10 years, we have been sharing pictures of Darren and Phillip online in hopes to show the public the true nature of Staffies and dogs like them. We’re about spreading happiness in a way that has a subtle message that staffies and pitbulls alike are loving trustworthy animals that don’t deserve the harsh judgement they often receive. Over the years we’ve spent our time online sharing our boys with the goal to make people smile and to see how truly wonderful Staffies are.
We’re also incredibly passionate about helping rescue dogs, so far in 7 years our Darren and Phillip brand has successfully raised over $1.2 Million for rescue dogs through the sale of our yearly calendar, Darren and Phillip clothing and our last four Christmas Appeals held here on Go Fund Me.
In 2023 our lives were turned upside down when we lost our beloved boy Darren, otherwise known as. Zozzle. He was the most incredible advocate for his breed, and loved by so many. At the time of his passing we were inundated with people who wanted to donate to rescues in Darren’s honour, So this year’s fundraiser will be exactly that, a tribute to Darren and the incredible life he lived.
This will be our seventh annual Christmas fundraiser on go fund me. Our goal is to donate as much money as we can to dog rescues to give them some funds to save as many dogs as they can right before Christmas. 2023 has seen one of the most difficult years in rescue. There is still such a huge knock on effect from the Covid rescue crisis, and many rescues have now been forced to stop taking new dogs due to the incredible overflow. They simply can not keep up.
These rescues are full to the brim with dogs and many more pouring through the doors. We are seeing more dogs than ever being euthanised because there is simply not enough room for the usual influx of dogs in pounds plus the thousands being surrendered by the public. There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle if we want to try to solve the problem. The rescues need more volunteers, more physical space to keep dogs and a LOT more funding to pay for necessary vet bills, food and training. Funding is a huge piece of the puzzle,, the rescues we are donating to have no money and desperately need help to even keep taking animals in. With our help we can give them more than some of them would receive in an entire year. It’s truly invaluable what we’ve been able to provide for these rescues and their dogs over the years and we can’t wait to help them again this year. If we can get to our goal, it will be split between 10 rescues we’ve donated to in the past. These rescues are all desperately needing help right now. They are all non for profit organisations that do fantastic work saving many animals every year. We have taken the time to get to know the groups we donate to and we know they will put every single dollar they receive to great use saving as many dogs lives as possible. As soon as the fundraiser ends, we will be taking the exact amount we have and splitting it up between the rescues. We always post proof of PayPal transfer receipts on our social media so you can see exactly where your donation has been sent. We want to give all of these rescues the best chance possible of saving as many dogs as they can right before Christmas. We would be incredibly grateful for any donations that you can spare to help dogs get out of the shelter this year and into warm and loving homes.Thank you for reading about our fundraiser we hope you can contribute in any way possible, and if you can’t financially that’s ok, even a share of our cause would be very helpful in getting us closer to our goal.
