About
What are we about at SFD?
You read on our Home Page about how we came to be,
but why do we carry on and what are our goals and
aspirations? How do we intend to achieve those goals
and where do you come in?
Why do We Carry On?
Every day more dogs are abandoned to the streets, or
born there to unspayed females. Their lives are
precarious - they are always in danger of being cruelly
treated or inhumanely captured and thrown into the
Public Shelters, where after fifteen days they are savagely
killed if not claimed. At best they struggle for food and
shelter and at worst they die an horrific death. We carry
on in order to get as many as possible to safety and
ultimately to caring permanent homes, to remove entire
dogs from the streets and reduce the number of puppies
born there only to die of disease, danger or neglect
Our Main Goals Are
To save stray dogs from the streets and wastelands in our
area, to take them out of reach of the dog catchers and
those who would wish them harm, to the sanctuary of our
Shelter
To give those dogs the best possible care and attention
whilst they are with us. To feed and house them
comfortably, to cater properly for their veterinary needs
and healthcare
To interact with the dogs as much as possible and to show
them that their lives can be better - to prepare them for
life with families in proper homes
To promote the dogs in our care as far and wide as
possible to find the best homes for them.
Semper Fidelis Domus is a private shelter and we pride
ourselves that our dogs are kept in the best possible
condition. Look at our pictures and videos to see that the
dogs are as happy as they can be in a Shelter, and that
they are clean and healthy with good coats and clear eyes
How do We Intend to Achieve those Goals?
As usual, money is at the root of all evil and the first thing
we need to do is to raise more! Currently we do not have
enough funds coming in to feed the dogs and pay taxes
etcetera. We need to raise money through adoptions,
sponsorship, donations, competitions and by making
genuine cost reductions without compromising the safety
and welfare of the dogs in our care.
You can help us! Follow the links to the pages to see how
to donate, how to sponsor, how to enter our competitions
and how to adopt.
