Vlk Stínu hasn't added a story.
Hi everyone! My name is Vlk and I live in a tiny village in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
In 2018, I went on a backpacking trip to Indonesia and encountered many malnourished, injured, and otherwise sick stray dogs. The most shocking experience, however, was meeting a dying dog with a severe, most horrifying head wound... This impacted me deeply...
Two years after my trip, when I moved from the capital into a quiet village and my life-long dream of having my own garden came true, I adopted/rescued hens from an industrial caged poultry house, I acquired the cutest of bunnies, and since then has been thinking about having a four-legged friend by my side. I remembered my experience in Indonesia and made a decision that I will adopt a dog from Asia. That's when I virtually met Drake.
Drake is a sweet black-furred boy who lost his hind leg due to a severe injury on the streets of Phuket. Apparently, he had a harder time finding a home due to his condition as well because of his color. After I learned about his character and talked to his caretakers at the shelter, I knew I found my not four-legged, but three-legged friend. :)
As it turns out, getting Drake from Thailand over to my country is, unsurprisingly, quite expensive. The costs can climb up to 2600 USD, which is almost my two monthly salaries. I asked for sort of a "scholarship" or grant that can be given case by case to adopters if they are adopting a dog that is having a rather difficult time finding a home - if it would be approved, it would mean the price could be lowered to around 1000 USD (the exact amount is not known and I won't know it until two weeks prior to Drake's trip home when everything will be planned - which will not be sooner than in 3 months, due to the European legislation regarding rabies test), which is wonderful, but it is still a substantial amount for me.
And that is why I decided to make this crowdfunding and ask you, dear animal lovers, for your help!
I know it's a longshot and 1000 dollars is quite a lot of money, but every dollar counts, and any help (such as sharing this cause for instance) is very appreciated! Me and Drake will be truly grateful and once we finally get to meet, I will share a video update with all of you!
Any funds that will exceed the goal and won't be used to cover the expenses of Drake's travel (in case the "scholarship" will be approved for instance and the traveling expenses will be lowered) will be donated to the Soi Dog Foundation that is tirelessly helping stray dogs in Thailand - it is in their shelter where Drake currently resides.
