If you are looking for a gift for a rhino lover, why not adopt a rhino or an anti-poaching dog from Helping Rhinos?

Adopt a rhino!

Helping Rhinos is a charity.  They LOVE rhinos, and their aim is to help the species survive at sustainable levels in their natural habitat.  It works with a few partners, mostly in Africa, who:

• Preserve or develop new habitat for rhinos and other species
• Protect rhinos from poaching
• Provide information and education on the importance of the sustaining the rhino population to local communities and broader populations
• Sustain the species via other sustainable and scalable projects

Adoptions are a great way to help the charity’s partner programmes continue their work caring for rhino, including baby orphans, training anti-poaching dogs and sponsoring the work of South Africa’s only all-female anti-poaching unit.   Visit Helping Rhinos’ Adoption Centre here.

Help rhinos with a donation

On Channel 4 on 26 January 2021 at 8pm, don’t miss Secret Safari – Into the Wild.

It’s telling the stories of the animals in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the eyes of their rangers, the very people who are working so hard to protect these animals.

One of the organisations partnering with the Ol Pejeta Conservancy is Helping Rhinos.  You could make a donation on behalf of the rhino lover in your life either directly to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy through their website, or through their Global Giving fundraising campaign.  

Want to stock up on some delicious chocolate coins ready for Christmas?

Take a look at Natural Collection!   They have dark chocolate and milk chocolate coins, plus thins, and hot chocolate too.

Chocolate treats from Divine are made with Fairtrade cocoa grown by farmers in the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative in Ghana.  They also own 44% of Divine, sharing in the profits and company decisions. 

They also have hampers though these are not included in the offer.

One of the things I love about Divine Chocolate is that they don't use palm oil in their chocolate. Divine does not use any palm oil in its chocolate and aims not to use any additional ingredients that contain palm oil.  This helps reduce human impact on the rainforests on which both animals and people depend.

It's Intenrational Dogs Day on 26 Auugst  (which originally started as National Dog Day in the USA) and the idea is to raise awareness of the need to rescue dogs from rescue shelters and give them a home.  

As someone said recently and I can't remember who it was, buy a dog from a breeder and that leaves one in rescue kennels still waiting for a home.  

So it's a good opportunity to tell you that Emma Bridewater has dog related gifts, including a bags, an extra large caddy, mugs and an insulated bottle,   

Dogs Inuslated Bottle for £25.00

Dogs Extra Large Rectangular Caddy for £12.00
Store your dog's biscuits in it!  Woof woof!

Take a look at the other gifts for dogs (and cats) here - there are large and small personalised pet bowls with a couple of different designs (polka dots, pink hearts or blue starts or wallflowers) so you could put your dog's name on one!
