Have you been sent this email about some death row doggies and are you keen to do something to help out?

Hi Everyone

Following the recent fires around Gippsland there has been a lot of stray dogs collected by the Pound. These dogs are housed for about 8 days in the hope they are adopted.

Hope you can do something.

With so many people affected by the devastating Victoria fires it's easy to overlook the toll it's taken on the pets we love. PetRescue need your help to save the lives of pets now more than ever.

The good news is the dogs in the email are safe. But with the sudden influx of pets who've become separated from their families, shelters are now overflowing and pets aleady in care are being forgotten.

If you have been thinking of opening your home to a new pet, now is the time to adopt. By freeing up kennel space, you leave more room for the incoming burned and lost animals and allow rescues to continue to do the amazing work they do during this difficult time.

Do you have room in your family for any of these homeless pets?
