Appeal for animal lovers to join DoggyWarri­ors

Canine campaigner Lee Brown is calling for animal lovers who want to make a difference to join his Doggywarri­ors.

The 51-year-old from Westbourne has already raised over £40,000 for rescue shelters and dogs in need through his Doggylotte­ry.

Now he’s launched a merchandis­e range for people who want to show their passion for making a difference for dogs.

The Doggywarri­ors brand will raise money for animal charities and enable them to boost their donations by becoming partners.

Lee said: “There are hundreds of dog rescue centres in the UK, all struggling to survive with more dogs being abandoned and vets bills rising.

“People can buy a Doggywarri­ors t-shirt, hoodie, tote bag or bandana for their dog to pledge their support and show they’re standing up for dogs.

“There are so many people out there, who love, care, protect, rescue and fight for all things dog and we wanted to find a way to unite them.

“We believe we are stronger together and through the Doggywarri­ors range or by joining in our Doggylotte­ry they can support their favourite charity.”

Doggywarri­ors was set up by Lee and his cousin Lisette Van Riel in July 2020 with Doggylotte­ry, as a not-forprofit online lottery donating to more than 80 rescue centres.

The merchandis­e range aims to provide dog charities with a means of generating income by setting up their own online shops where they sell the Doggywarri­ors goodies.

Lee added: “Dog charities are invaluable to communitie­s around the world. Sadly, funding continues to be a challenge for most of them.

“We want to offer these organisati­ons a helpline. By working together, we can change dogs’ lives forever.”

To get involved with Doggywarri­ors you can enter Doggylotte­ry for just £1.50, buy a product from their shop or sign up for updates.
