Fundraiser for pups who survived tragic ordeal
IT WAS a tragic find by a Toowoomba woman: kittens and a puppy drowned in a pillowcase.
Two newborn puppies managed to survive the ordeal and the woman cared for them until she was able to pass them on to Toowoomba animal rescue Off The Chain K9 Rescue.
Jess Otto runs the organisation and said the discovery was devastating for everyone at the rescue team.
“This is heartbreaking. It hits you hard, and right where it hurts. We’ve been emotional messes all day. We are tired, we are angry, and we are sad. But we won’t give up,” she said.
“These guys stand a chance and we need your help to make it happen.
“We are extremely upset and worried about their mother.
“We also believe them to be kelpie x and it’s very unlikely that only three were in the litter so we are desperate for information that may lead us to others.”
Off The Chain K9 Rescue is hosting a movie night fundraiser today at the Toowoomba Community Baptist Church.
Shrek will be playing, with doors opening from 6pm.
“The kids will be provided with colouring and
pre-movie entertainment and there is a room where parents or kids needing a break can hang out to chat and unwind,” she said.
“We encourage a picnic-style night. So bring
your preferred snacks and drinks.”
Tickets are $10 for entry and $5 for each additional ticket purchased.
