We have received funding and support from members of the Absolutely Altinkum internet forum, from supporters via Facebook (Didim Dog Shelter FB page) and from other outside donors.
We also try to raise funds from jumble sales and our very popular Boxing Day swim.
We must also give grateful thanks to the Marchig Trust in Scotland for their kind donation which allowed us to buy various medicines and dry food for the Council Kennels.
Also, StichtingWereldAsielen in Holland who have agreed for us to spend their donation wherever we feel it appropriate.
The following Estate Agents paid for the original wooden kennels:
The Chillout Bar where we hold our meetings makes dogs welcome and Ahmet (the Owner) gives 10% of the bar takings from the meeting nights.
Voices Newspaper sponsored the original printrun of 2006 calendars and bookmarks.
Lipitgaz gave the first gascan to the shelter without charging any deposit for the can.
Big Ben Bar & Restaurant are also great supporters of our cause. They also put leftovers out at night for the street dogs.
Pet Supplies - who are one of the UK's best and biggest pet shops online. All the best prices for dog supplies and dog food online, everything stocked from cat treats to reptile supplies, dog beds to cat products, and offers on 1000's of pet supplies all at great prices. Pet Supplies have very kindly supplied the volunteers with slip leads for walking the shelter dogs.
