Can you show your support of Rudozem Street Dog Rescue by signing the below petition with the belief that they should stay in Rudozem, Bulgaria.  RSDR are helping many Street Dogs by having them re-homed and believe the town and people of Rudozem should be showing their support instead of letting certain individuals cause harassment and starting their own petitions to "drive the English family" out.

Please read the story below:

Rudozem Street Dog Rescue (RSDR) is a non-profit foundation that helps rescue Street Dogs in Rudozem, Bulgaria.   http://www.streetdogrescue.com

The Rowles family moved from the UK to Rudozem, Bulgaria in 2007.

They were shocked at the number of street dogs and apalled at the condition of them and the abuse that some of them suffered. They are now a registered foundation and even though they have no shelter to work from, they try to help and re-home as many dogs as possible.  They currently work from their own private home. 

All this has been done from their own savings and donations from private individuals. They have recieved no help in the form of grants or from the municipality in Rudozem.  In a few days time the number of dogs that they have managed to find homes for in Holland, will have risen to 48.  Instead of realising that their work is helping to reduce the number of street dogs, certain dog-hating individuals have started to harass the family. 

One person (who doesn't like dogs) has even started a petition to "drive the "English family out of Rudozem". 

Although this person's petition may have no legal standing, petitions of this sort can incite hate, racism and violence.  Therefore we ask that the town and people of Rudozem, and supporters around the world to support the Rowles family in their efforts and work with the street dogs.

Can you help by signing this petition with the belief that RSDR should stay in Rudozem, Bulgaria and help as many more street Dogs in Bulgaria and have them re-homed?

RSDR aim is to raise funds to open a shelter to save many more street dogs, and start a sterilization scheme to help reduce the population of street dogs.   

These are not dangerous wild dogs or dogs that are a danger to livestock, many are friendly dogs who are craving love and attention. It is heartbreaking to see one of them go up to a person, wagging its tail and rolling over only to be kicked and spat on.

Please help us to help them.  If you would like to make a donation towards our Dog shelter.  Please visit:  http://www.streetdogrescue.com/
