D.R.E.A.M TRANSPORT

(BERLIN / TOKYO)
We desperately need help to rent or buy a vehicle for our dog rescue in Turkiye.
We are based on remote farmland in the Mugla region of Turkiye where there is currently a dog massacre law in place resulting in thousands of unnecessary and cruel killings.
Plan A: is buying a vehicle for day to day use, rescuing, feeding and transporting.
Targeting around £20,000 for a used van, camper or truck. Ideally we’d prefer a campervan that could act as a back up accommodation should the current farmland arrangement come to an end.
Plan B: we’ve sourced some long term car hire offers with FALCON RENT A CAR in Fethiye located on South West coast of Türkiye.
3 months from April 2026 £2000 all incl.
6 months from April 2026 £4200 all incl.
Transport is a huge priority now, especially with freezing temperatures and huge storms affecting the region.
Our general plan:
• Getting access to a vehicle to rescue and transport dogs, get supplies, vet visits etc is top priority.
• Securing a food budget to deliver to desperate animals is the next step.
• Fundraising for a veterinary budget to take any injured or sick dogs to our trusted professionals for treatment.
• Providing a safe and sustainable refuge with food and warmth towards rehoming is the ultimate aim.
At the moment our 3 rescue dogs are coping with being in a strange new environment of exposed kennels in a small area surrounded by other caged dogs.
It’s not ideal at all, but they are kept safe and the plan is not to leave them exposed to this environment for more than 3 months while we raise funds to go back and get them home.
