Adopting an abandoned dog from Gloucestershire Animal Shelter - Teckels, had such a profound and positive effect that Gloucestershire employment specialist, Rupert Ellis, decided to actively support their activities with some fund-raising through his recruitment business, www.JobJobbed.com.
ìWe could not have been more fortunate when adopting ìBeavisî and it was obvious that the staff at Teckels put their heart and soul into the care of their animals. It just seemed appropriate to do something to help support their activitiesî
Preparations were well underway for a sponsored long-distance cycle ride when Rupert tripped over his dog Beavis, dislocating and breaking both his right ankle and leg. Following an emergency operation to reconstruct his injuries at Gloucestershireís Royal NHS Trust Hospital, Rupert faces several months in plaster before getting back in the saddle.
ìThings had been going really well and we had already raised over 350 through auctioning football memorabilia with the help of Arsenal Football Club when things took a turn for the worstî said Rupert.
ìIt could have been worseî, said Rupert, ìhad he realised that there were bones in there, he would probably have buried me in the garden with his others!î
