Sad update on Tilly and Jack


Dear friends.....if we can ALL share JacknTilly Campbell chip-in post with the following update and pass on to as many friends as possible :

*URGENT* If every friend gave $2 this would be a lifeline to JacknTilly Campbell....they have no electricity, no heating and any food is spoiling and they found out yesterday having spent 2 days lining up at social services that their new housing isn't happening. There is a 3 year wait plus dogs aren't allowed.... Dot was told to surrender them to the pound and if she does this they will be PTS, the dogs are her lifeline and keep her going when she is ill. She can't even go to a shelter for a night because of them.......as well as monetary help if ANY of you live nearby and have a room or can think of any ideas not yet explored please post them on the board......lets all pull together like JacknTilly Campbell do for us and dig as deep as possible.......forego 1 Xmas gift or some Halloween treats....anything just to free up a few dollars.....

Both Tilly and Jack were rescued by Second chances Canine Program....they have their own FaceBook page...for more information, they are JacknTilly Campbell.....but here is a snapshot of them.
Tilly is a little sweetheart, she is very tender and laughing every minute. she is 1/2 Cattledog and 1/2 Back Lab.

She is cute, funny, and full of love. Jack is blind in his right eye and they found him as a stray going through dumpsters to find food. He was getting cabin fever for being a rescue for most his life...he was nearly two when Dot adopted him... he has such spirit and love to give. And his eye doesn't stop him although he play's fetch a bit differently to help him out being blind in 1 eye.

Tilly taught him how to walk up steps. Everyone who meets them says how loving and kind and sweet they are and well mannered. If they go to shelter they will be immediately put down. Some mistake Tilly for a pit bull and with Jack's blindness they would just put him down. Jack has the biggest smile in the world.. and if you just pet him once he is velcro to you. Very much a snuggler and Tilly is the kisser. they both are so fantastic and so loving and caring Dot feels truly blessed.
Sooooo they have come from a frightening and abusive relationship and have been tracked down before so all have new names.....Dot has to take medication for the effects of the beatings and are once again close to being kicked out by their landlord who has now cut off their utilities.

They still have their food stamps but are not allowed to use them for dog food and dog meds that Tilly n Jack need. When/if we can find them emergency housing Dot will look for part-time work as she does want to be independant and responsible for her little family.

They are tired,its been a long and hard journey and with this new ''kick'' Dot is soooo despondent and currently has no phone line so we cannot get in touch and are extremely worried for their well-being so ALL donations and help will really make a huge difference knowing there are people out there not just in another town but another country willing to not just donate but also be their friend.

For those that have donated we thank you so much as this enabled them to stay housed in October, this new fund was to cover their move but as above this has now been pulled out from under their feet so the chipin introduction is sadly null and void and this is an emergency plea to keep them from being made homeless and out on the streets as Dot would never have them taken to a shelter to be put to sleep.....as we all know..our dogs are our lifeline.

Please help.

Please help this poor lady. I know what it's like, it happened to me a long time ago, not as badly, but the situation was dire. Please lovely people do what you can to help, she desperately needs help. How can she be expected to give up her dogs which are her life?
