My name is Nicky Stevens and I’m the Founder of a charity called International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals (IAPWA). I live in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire and wanted to share a story with you in case it would be of interest to you. In 2009 I visited Borneo to see the orangutans. What I also saw were many equally beautiful stray dogs struggling for survival When I returned to the UK I established the charity to make a difference to their lives and spent the first four years negotiating to replace the inhumane methods of population control with our humane neutering programme to reduce the number of puppies being born on the QUALIFIED CARPENTER/HANDYMAN 25 years experience Reliable and friendly service g All types of carpentry including: g Fitted kitchens g Doors, skirting & architraves g Flooring g Fitted wardrobes g General handyman/maintenance work streets. This was achieved in July 2014 when we took over management of the city dog pound to run a neutering and veterinary care programme and since then we have neutered over 1500 dogs and provided veterinary care and loving homes to many more who would otherwise have been left to suffer. Last week we rescued a very frightened puppy who was living in a box surrounded with rubbish RSPCA Animal Cruelty & Emergency g Help Line g 0300 1234 999 Follow Hiya Bucks on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date with what’s happening in your area For a free & competitive quote call Paul on 07857 074523 or 01628 523314 8 To advertise in Hiya Bucks text or call 07947 349134
