This is Girl Person and Fruitycake. Well, we are counting down the days until our appointment this Friday. We want to have every chance possible at proving we want to stay here and that we have the backing of our followers, readers, friends and 2 Traveling Dogs family.
Our goal, as it always has been wherever we roam is to show the life you can give to a rescue animal and live YOUR best life at the same time. We aim to Make Rescues The Breed Of Choice worldwide and it’s been our work since 2011 to showcase animal rescues, shelters and organizations around the globe making a difference.
Whether we are in an RV, home or boat, we show our every day lives and how a rescue dog sees and interprets the world. We’ve done this for free to our audience daily since 2011. That is 14 years of working for animals and people and our mission. We won’t ever let you down.
We now have a unique opportunity with our growing audience to show a different part of the earth, Italy! We have over 10 acres of land that we can use in so many ways to contribute to our mission. Current and future plans include:
- Continuing to share daily animals in need on our social media channels. Using our huge audience to share these urgent animals and stories helps to save lives. We worked for decades to grow our audience and to have the reach it does. We prefer to leave space open for shelters and animals in lieu of sponsors. We can reach over 40 million people a day. That’s many opportunities to find homes for these animals.
- In order to physically help animals in need, we must first sustainably renovate our home and land. We have a unique challenge due to difficult terrain, so progress has not been as quick as we would like. However, with our growing audience, we are continuing to secure monthly support in order to keep renovations going. Priority needs include a new roof, landscape clearing of property, path maintenance and expansion.
- Many outbuildings provide a unique opportunity for studio filming. This will be a major part of our volunteer work, filming educational wildlife and rescue videos and interviews with rescues around the world. The 2 Traveling Dogs channels will provide exposure to rescue and sanctuary needs, education and entertainment.
- Planned events for rescue groups in this area of Italy at our property for adoption opportunities and also to hold monthly hikes for fosters and shelter dogs. Having fenced in areas for enrichment and housing fosters as needed.
- Providing space for wildlife conservation needed in the area while educating worldwide on specific needs on making environmental differences.
- Having space available for vets that need an area for wildlife protection and rehabilitation.
- Planting crops for animal rescues to use for food sources while educating on animal nutrition.
- Providing a place for rescue organizations and individuals to pick up needed supplies and donations.
- Planned travels to other areas of the world to visit in person rescues and shelters including fundraising efforts.
This is just the first phase of our plans that we approximate will take 2-4 years. We understand that additional challenges and difficulties may occur and this phase may need to be adjusted as needed.
It is our goal to not only help animals in need but to help and encourage people as well. People are who help the animals and education is needed worldwide as a first line of defense for all creatures.
We ask more than ever for YOUR support by the following ways to help make this a reality.
We have over one million followers on social media, but a very few that make what we do possible with support. We need just 1000 Patreon supporters on each of our pages to show we have your support for what we do. To show the authorities in Italy we are serious about this project and our work to make a difference. Can we count on you? We are hopeful we can.
We are asking for support now, and if you have enjoyed our blog, content or animal rescue focus and mission, can you take a moment TODAY to join BOTH of our Patreon pages?
