Ruby Leslie hasn't added a story.
I am a Canadian woman, living and working in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Last year I founded an animal welfare organization, Ruby Animal Rescue
(RAR), and when translated into Mandarin (红宝石动物救护) it incorporates
love for animals and the colour red, the symbol of the Chinese
culture. RAR envisions partnerships to empower Chinese veterinarians,
animal activists, rescuers and professionals with the tools to end
cruel animal abuse.
I have 6+ years of hands-on experience with domestic and wild
animals in Canada, USA and China. More than 3 years ago I left Canada
for China, as I felt for a very long time that God put it on my heart
to help animals here. Over the last 3 years I have volunteered with
local veterinarians and international organizations, worked at
sanctuaries, edited wildlife journals, and provided much-needed aid at
shelters across China.
Through my organization I have had the opportunity to help and rescue animals, taughts 100s of people Humane Education, inspired communities and people across China and internationally in ways that they too can help animals in China. I have worked where the situation for animals seems hopeless and beyond help, and I always find a way to make a difference for the animals and change their lives for the better.
To make a larger impact helping 1,000s of dogs and cats, and to teach
Chinese shelter workers, rescuers and activists, I need to learn from
international experts.
I am incredibly thankful to have been to be selected from a
large range of applicants to be a delegate for Dogs Trust's
International Training Programme (ITP) in London, UK. Dogs Trust is
one of Britain’s and the world’s leading dog welfare charities that
rehomes and cares for over 16,000 dogs per year. But to travel there
from August 26- September 6 2014 I need your help TODAY!
At Dogs Trust I will learn from international experts the
skill-sets to advance animal welfare in China, these include;
·
Advertising- marketing tools to engage the
community in animal welfare
· Animal Behaviour- techniques to teach a
largely inexperienced volunteer force and shelter workers animal
behaviour and handling across China
· Educational Programmes- aid RAR’s University
Humane Education Club and Education Outreach through a further
understanding of effective and structured humane education
· Fundraising- understand efficient and
different methods to fundraise
· Rehoming- training in high volume foster and
adoption (rehoming) platforms
· Shelter Management- learn international
standards of shelter management to aid our Shelter Project
· Veterinary Care- learn international standards
of veterinary care for shelters
As a delegate I will also be eligible to apply for SNIP
International cat and dog handling equipment and grants. This
opportunity of a lifetime will provide me with the essential
knowledge, equipment and techniques to build upon, effectively develop
and promote relatively unknown concepts of animal welfare in Chengdu
and across China.
But I can't do this without your help TODAY. Please give
generously to help me achieve my dream to help save the lives of dogs
and cats that desperately need it! Your donation and support will play
a vital role to help China's dogs and cats, as I will use what I learn
to CHANGE China!
Without you, none of this will be possible. Your donation or
sponsorship will of course be recognized and credited in various
methods such as a donor book. As well I will write a daily blog about
my experiences!
Thank you in advance for your support.
