Description
Fetcher Dog is an amazing charity based in Kent that saves and rehomes stray and abused dogs from Bosnia and the UK.
Hundreds of dogs are abandoned at home and abroad every day. The cost-of-living crisis has increased this exponentially and dogs need our help now more than ever. UK pounds are currently bursting with dogs that are looking for safe places to go. Distressingly, after 7 days in a pound, the dogs are put to sleep if a rescue space isn’t found and Fetcher Dog take as many of these dogs as they can and provide them with a chance of a happy and full life. Fetcher Dog are also in contact with several local dog wardens, Kent Police and our local council and are called upon to help dogs that they find on a regular basis.
The charity started originally to help dogs in Bosnia and that is where at least half of their rescue missions take place. Thousands of dogs are born on the streets of Bosnia every year, condemned to face cruel acts by locals, starvation, disease and brutal and inhumane deaths. The dogs are rounded up by dog catchers and often placed into kill shelters that provide no care, food or comfort, with many starving to death or dying of exposure. There are many local rescuers, picking up stray street dogs and removing as many as possible from kill shelters. All dogs are taken to safe and secure facilities where they no longer have to fear cruelty. They are fed and cared for and are taken to local veterinarians who help nurse them back to health. Fetcher Dog give them everything they need for a fresh start and the best possible chance of a happy, healthy life.
Fetcher Dog then finds forever homes for these dogs in England and Wales. These dogs have been through so much that they desperately deserve wonderful families and they aim to pair all of their dogs with the best forever homes they can find.

About the Seed Packets
Product details – This seed packet (and all our seed packets!) is made from quality recycled paper and measures 9 x 12 cm. The seeds are British wildflower seeds, and they are inside the packet in a glassine paper sachet, not a foil and plastic one. Sowing instructions are printed on the back
What is glassine paper? Glassine paper is an eco-friendly and plastic-free alternative to mass-produced heat-sealed plastic and foil/paper sachets. Unlike those sachets glassine paper can be recycled and is biodegradable. It is also resistant to moisture and will keep the seeds dry in the main packet. Please advise your wedding details in the box above.
You are not getting married for a while so need to store the seeds? The seeds are viable for a few years and are easy to store by keeping them somewhere cool and dry out of direct sunlight.
