Loved for Life

we are very proud that after vaccinating more than 100,000 dogs, there have been no positive cases since April 2021.

In Georgia, there have been recent outbreaks of rabies in a couple of the regions outside the capital, Tbilisi. The team there have been settling into our new veterinary clinic, which is now fully equipped. We’re pleased to say the team are mobile and at times operate out of pop-up veterinary clinics in more rural towns and locations.

With scores of dogs in both locations still needing help, we really need your support. Thank you for your care and compassion.

June saw a new experiential outdoor campaign for Mayhew, shining a light on the dogs and cats in our care looking to find their second chance and ‘love for life’. Our Loved for Life campaign gave visitors to Westfield in White City the chance to take an interactive quiz to see if they could potentially be the one for a Mayhew dog or cat who is waiting for their forever home.

Mayhew was a winner of a competition held by Ocean Outdoor – the interactive billboard media space at Westfield London was our prize with a further 11 billboards across West London, allowing thousands of people to learn about Mayhew’s work.

On the day, Mayhew staff and volunteers, as well as some visiting TheraPaws dogs, were at Westfield highlighting the importance of adopting rescue animals, and sharing the support we provide to pet owners who are experiencing the strain of these challenging times.

In the first five months of 2023 alone, the number of requests made to us from those needing to give up their dog was up by over 50% compared to the same period last year, and the same figure for cats was about 75%.

These figures are very worrying because at the same time, we are seeing a decrease in the number of prospective adopters and foster carers coming forward to give those dogs and cats a home.

Your help allows us to provide preventative support to worried owners who might be considering giving up their pet and helps us provide care, support and love to dogs and cats looking for their second chance.
