Fittleworth charity founder appeals for help to save dogs' living in hell'

Just five years ago the K-9 Angels charity was founded by model and columnist Victoria Eisermann from Fittleworth and singer/songwriter Pola Pospieszalska after they rescued a dog they named Angel from Romania.

“If we could help little Angel, we felt we could try and help many others just like her,” said Victoria.

Since then K-9 Angels has gone from strength to strength rehoming 850 dogs and raising close to £500,000.

Along with charity trustees and trusted rescuers in Romania, Victoria and Pola have also built a shelter housing for 120 dogs and a state-of-the art vet facility.

The team regularly goes to Romania to carry out mass spay and neuter, which they believe is the only way to eventually stop the hell for the hundreds of stray dogs living in appalling conditions.

But the team is powerless without donations to save more dogs and are appealing for help to carry on their work.

Everyday it is faced with challenges. It has just rescued a pregnant dog deliberately run over by a car and found another it had been feeding for years, covered in bullet holes.
