Why we volunteer for @scrapfactoryfarming #animalrights #animallovers #animalactivism #animalactivist #factoryfarming

I read somewhere that posting yourself online can be a way of unlearning shame so I am all for that. After struggling so bad mentally, to the point where it became a crisis and most days were a challenge to make it through with constant thoughts of ending my life, I have learnt how hard depression and mental health struggles get. After burn out being involved in advocating for animals and rescue, I was not functioning the same. The overwhelming grief was debilitating. A stage of grief is called meaning making and I think that is the stage I am in - organising a creative action in London at the end of March with 4 other dedicated volunteers from Scrap Factory Farming has been a great focus for me. I had been taking steps to be well, but recently I have had a massive breakthrough. Thanks to medicinal fungi, a watermelon fast and discovering that I have a histamine intolerance which means my body doesn’t release it well and histamine build up affects the serotonin in the brain. (Some foods are high in histamine and some are low - I have been unknowingly overloading my body with histamine, so now I’m on a low histamine diet until I fix the intolerance). I am a highly emotionally expressive person and with hormones and other factors including a completely normal human reaction to the horrors of the world, I may still dip down in my mood but at least I know that I can get out of the darkest of pits and be well again. Maybe that’s why my surname is Pitwell. That or my ancestors were diggers. Anyway I am glad that I was making my own video journals to be able to see my progress and how far I have come. Plus being affected by Seasonal affective disorder - grey winter in the UK is not for the weak but spring is nearly here so that is going to help keep me alive and well. (Next year I am going to have to go away somewhere sunny for winter because I’m not going through that again). For anyone that is struggling mentally, my advice is to tell people and reach out so they can support, try to eat clean, move the body and get as much sunlight as you can. #depression #mentalhealth #transformation #breakthrough #health #wellness #calisthenics #fruitfast

I volunteer with Amazing Friends in Sweden as a remote volunteer and last year I went to Romania with the organisation to help dogs and witnessed over 10,000 dogs in prison like shelters and saw disturbing graphic things that still haunt me, which I am not going to show in the video or write down. I have started to go back through the footage again to edit videos and help create content for Amazing Friends, which is hard to see it all again but shows me that my resilience has grown. #romaniandogs #rescuedogs

The reality of making videos with dogs - outtakes and bloopers. #rescuedogs #romanianrescuedog #childrensbook #outtakes #bloopers

I just started a new TikTok and this is my first post, took me ages to edit this video but so worth it, can’t stop smiling at it 😁🐶❤️ This book will make a lovely gift for a child, it’s full of colourful illustrations and is a true story with a happy ending of course. You can buy the book by clicking on the link in my bio. If you are unable to buy the book, please consider leaving a review anyway to spread the meaningful message of raising awareness for Romanian rescues. 😊 #romanianrescuedog #romanianrescue #rescuedog #childrensbook #independentauthor #doglovers

Update on some of the adopted puppies that are now adults! Thank you so much to everyone that supported and helped in so many ways to provide a safe, happy and loving life for these beings.

Acknowledging the strength and resilience it takes to go to Romania. To witness thousands of suffering, (and I mean horrific suffering, too graphic to share) desperate and dying dogs and then drive the journey back in the van, taking days, making sure 20+ dogs travelling are all ok, while hardly sleeping, having graphic flashbacks of the ones left behind that you saw with your own eyes, face to face of dogs pleading and begging for help, some given up, some so stressed they have appeared to have gone insane, not to mention the pregnant ones or mothers with puppies as well as the senior and sick dogs it’s absolutely heartbreaking. If you go, you will see many dead dogs… some even from being attacked by other dogs in small prison cells type pens shared with many other dogs… the weakest get attacked and killed in the bad shelters. These warriors go back and forth doing this over and over, seeing all the trauma, rescuing as many as they can, then doing the journey in snow, rain etc plus on top of that finding homes, raising funds to cover costs plus all the admin to run a non profit organisation….. They deserve waves of support for what they are doing 😭👏👏👏👏 @amazingfriendsadoption #rescuedogs #sweden #romanianrescuedogs #van #puppies

I went to Romania earlier this year and over the space of a few days, witnessed more than ten thousand suffering dogs in horrific prisons (aka shelters). I was brought to my knees again by burning out from being involved in animal rescue and overwhelmed with the seemingly never ending, dark abyss of cruelty to not only the dogs in Romania, but all animals on this planet. At my lowest, that abyss takes me to the depths of grief and sadness, which sometimes can feel too much for my soul to bear. I stayed for some time with 3 rescued Romanian dogs, adopted years ago by a friend, that are thriving and living a rich life, full of love. These 3 lucky ones inspired me to focus on the positives and helped my heart heal. This then lead to the creation of my first children’s book, inspired by the true story of these dogs, with all proceeds of the book going directly to @pennysark Penny’s Ark is a registered non-profit charity that is an animal homing and sanctuary appeal, mostly for Romanian dogs. If you would like to purchase the book, it is available on Amazon. Follow @pennysark #romaniarescuedog #romaniandogs #dogrescue #childrensbooks

A video that makes me laugh so much during these difficult experiences of witnessing a lot of very upsetting things. Meet Christina and her private shelter for dogs and cats in România. She used her own salary from working in a factory to fund everything and has over 100 animals all together. I will share more about Christina and her journey of operating an animal shelter in such a challenging place. But first I wanted to post something that brings joy and positivity. @portbagajulcu #rescuedogs #animalshelter #rescuecats #lovedogs #lovecats #lovepuppies #loveanimals #favourite

No Graphic photos or videos. Just talking about the horrible situation for dogs in Romania. A new organisation called Raising Standards has solutions for these challenges. We are still working on the website and social media, our focus right now is the upcoming visit to Romania and to these shelters, to evaluate how we can make a big positive difference for these dogs. If you would like to support then please contact me. #romaniadogs #rescuedog #lovedogs #killshelters #rescuequest

Hello from Sweden! I think it’s important to point out that lives on social media can be easily disguised as always having a great time, being happy etc. I can tell you now that behind this video of me smiling and enjoying life, dark winter in Sweden has tested me and I have had days where I have been struggling with my mental and emotional wellbeing. I read a great book called Digital Minimalism and I have been starting to practice this. After having a break from social media, many things improved for me and is been difficult to return, but I wanted to update everyone that’s been supporting Rescue Quest. The next video I will post is to share about a new organisation that I have joined, what we have been working on and will be aiming to achieve in making a huge impact in helping the lives of thousands of dogs in Eastern Europe. We go to Romania on the 27th of this month to document the horrific situation, connect and meet with shelters that are in need of help and evaluate how we can make a huge positive impact. #rescuedogs #sweden #romania #poland #vanlife #lovedogs

Rest in Peace Dale. Dale volunteered and stayed at the shelter with me for some time, he loved dogs so much and said I reminded him of his mum as she also has a dog rescue shelter. We had some heart to hearts in the evenings and he shared with me stories about his life and we became good friends. Dale was so helpful, with the dogs and with fixing and repairing things around the house. I am very grateful to be able to meet such a kind and gentle soul, and grateful for all the good he did while on this Earth. There has been a lot of loss this year and it is very sad. A good reminder to be compassionate to others as we don’t know what struggles some people are going through.

Some of the many dogs I have had the privilege of caring for and some of the many favourite memories and experiences. #lovedogs #rescuedog #dogsitting #dogsittinglife #happydogs #doglover #bestlife #dreamjob

When your dog has more friends than you! It took me a while to edit this video as there is so much footage and photos of all Beethovens friends. He has many more humans friends, these are the photos I had available, and so many dog friends from all the dog sitting and dog rescue. I wish I had taken a photo with every human friend he had, but sometimes when your in the moment you don’t think to take photos. Anyway you all know who you are and I hope this video brings some joy to your heart in memory of Beethoven and Pantera. #dogrescue #dogmemorial #dogfriends #happydogs #lovedogs

Amazing and happy news for the Tiger Twins! It was worth the wait for them to finally find their forever loving home at an animal sanctuary where this beautiful Costa Rican family take in animals in need and rescue look after them as their own children. Thank you to @candy_diaz13 and Nelson; They rescue and rehabilitate suffering animals back to health and the sanctuary owners are vegan so the animals are not used for food and are able to live their lives in peace and die naturally of old age. If you would like to visit this sanctuary in Playa Avellanas then please get in contact as they are welcoming and loving people and love to share the joy that these animals bring. If you know of any fruit and veg vendors that may have produce that they can not sell, the sanctuary would be very grateful to receive these for the animals food. Rescue Quest will continue to support this beautiful project so they can continue their amazing work. Thank you to @lobond777 and @cadenheaddan for letting us borrow the quad to transport them to their new home. #dogrescue #costaricadogs #vegancostarica #sanctuarycostarica #costaricaanimals #playaavellanas #playanegra

Yesterday Beethoven was put to rest. First, we went to our favourite beach together one last time and he had his favourite treats. Before the vet put the injection, he already had his eyes closed and we thought he had passed before she had done anything, that she actually checked his heartbeat. His heartbeat was there but very low and we both agreed he was so ready to go. By the time she put the injection it seemed he was already gone and I know he left very calmly and peacefully with full acceptance. The way that he was ready to go really filled me with comfort. I am very grateful that his passing was designed in the most peaceful and kindest way for us both. We had plenty of time to say goodbye, he wasn’t in severe pain, and thank fully I was back in the country with him when it all happened. I have spent hours going through footage of the best years of my life shared with him and I could make a triology longer than the lord of the rings movies with all the videos I have of us and our adventures. So, I have at least 5 memorial videos and this is the first one; Bini and Beethoven. I will also make Beethoven and his human friends, Beethoven and his dog friends (he had more friends than I even do), Beethoven and our travel adventures all around Costa Rica and also the Best of Beethoven. Call me a crazy obsessed dog mum if you wish, I can admit yes that is true. One of the blessings from this, is we have been gifted with a MOUNTAIN of support from our friends and love pouring in for us from all across the globe. I am doing well, at the sanctuary of la casa of Lola Bond and Dan Cadenhead with Wayra, Bella, Veronica Rivera and her family looking after me while I wait to receive Beethovens ashes to spread along the beach and place in some jewellery. If you were a friend of Beethoven, or if your dog was then you or your dog maybe in the next upcoming memorial videos. Making these videos has been a really positive way to grieve and reminisce on the incredible 3 years we had together. Thank you everyone for your support and love ❤️🐶

Update on Beethoven: I spoke with the vet surgeon today after getting the results from the scan that he will need multiple surgeries and spending at least a month in hospital. The vet said he wants to be transparent with me and the surgery could make him worse, and there’s about a 50/50 chance is success, but we also have to take into account his old age. He urinates himself frequently , but can’t defecate on his own, I have to help him manually and he hates it. He also pants a lot and I thought because he is uncomfortable from not being able to release his bowels easily, but it could be from pain. I tried communicating with him this evening asking him and it felt like he was trying to tell me he is done. Even with all of this I don’t want to make the wrong decision. I hadn’t thought of this until today when the vet said and a friend mentioned it. I was fully focused on treatment and trying to get him to the UK for the best possible treatment. But I also don’t want him to suffer and it will be a long process all of it. My heart still hurts about Pantera and putting her to sleep and with this now it just feels like too much. My heart is so broken. P.s if I don’t respond to messages it’s just because I don’t have the capacity right now

Harassment, attempted break ins, robbery, survival mentality, grieving loss, burn out and a horrific accident. I am not giving up, but just adjusting the sails of the rescue ship. In this video I forgot to mention that Beethoven and I were supposed to be house and dog sitting for the next few months which would have covered our rent costs but that has changed because of unexpected circumstances. I am looking for a stable income working for ethical organisations or companies to support my living, something I can do while I care for Beethoven, as he is incontinent with urine , but unable to release his bowels which I am having to help him do manually with my finger. I also need to be able to change his position every few hours to prevent bed sores and I pray that he doesn’t need surgery because I do not currently have the funds for that. I have considered another option of going back to the UK with Beethoven and rebuilding there, but that is a last resort option. I’m going to give it my best to keep going so in the end I can at least say I did the best I possibly could. #dogrescue #burnout #rebuilding #keepgoing #costaricadogs #challenges

Update on Beethoven: Back from the hospital. He is doing ok, he still can’t walk or stand. Waiting for the results of the scan. Still hasnt had a poo since Sunday. Vet bill altogether is 700,000 colones which is around $1,300. Still raising money to help cover these costs and thank you to everyone that has donated and been supporting! 🙏 If you would like to donate then please click the link in bio.

Back from the vet, Beethoven was given anti inflammatory, antibiotics and pain killers. His blood work is all normal and healthy. There is no improvement whatsoever. He can not walk or stand. He can’t hold his head up on his own. The vets don’t know why. I have been researching about ataxia and trauma. I am on full investigation as to what happened to him from this dog bite and what is his treatment. He can’t even go to the toilet. When we took him back from the vet his eyes were wide like in shock. Now he is receiving energy healing and it’s the first time he has closed his eyes and seems more peaceful. #ataxia #dogbite #paralyzeddog #trauma #reiki #energyhealing

This was an unprovoked attack, for those that know Beethoven know he is the most calm and gentle dog to exist on this Earth He is also bullied a lot by other dogs because they can sense his vulnerability, just like that nerdy kid at school that is easy to pick on. He has been attacked many times by dogs and always forgives, he does not have an aggressive cell in his body. He was yelping for a long time after the attack, we went home and I cleaned the wound, he rested and didn’t get up for dinner so I got him up and he was all wobbly like he was drunk. A couple hours later his legs are totally paralyzed and stiff. He couldn’t lift his head up, on a Sunday bank holiday night. I stayed awake with him until we could get to the vet. He has never reacted like this to a dog bite before and the vets are also confused so he is staying in for tests. Beethoven is my companion and best friend as well as a huge emotional support for me. He didn’t eat his dinner and it’s still there in his little bowl in the fridge 😭 When I was getting my shoes and bag to take him to the vet he started crying thinking I would leave him and he can’t get up. And now I had to leave him while he’s suffering. 😭 But he is so resilient he has survived accidents, tick disease and a very invasive type of cancer. So I am visualizing him coming home and making a full recovery. #dogattacksurvivor #dogbite #doghealth #survivor #bestfriend #rescuedog

The Tiger Twins are still waiting for adoption, they are about 5 months old, both boys (brothers) and have had their dewormers and vaccinations. They love to play with each other and other dogs, very friendly and affectionate. They have been through so much which is why it’s important they can stay together in a forever loving home . They have been waiting the longest out of all Rescue Quest dogs to get adopted. #dogrescue #rescuequest #adoptdogs #lovedogs #costaricadogs

An inspiring story of Destiny that volunteered with Rescue Quest and she has now officially started her own rescue organization in Arenal. It can be uncomfortable to ask for financial donations and Destiny has created the gofundme page but no donations received yet. It is such a morale booster as well as incredibly helpful to receive a donation to keep the work going. Her Go Fund Me Page is called Dogs of Destiny, if you would like to support her. #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #tamarindo #arenal #costarica #dogsanctuary #happydogs #puppyrescue

A huge thank you to @melissabrooks281 for so many things I don’t know where to start, well to start with recently ; it was Melissas fur baby’s sweet 16th birthday on Friday, little Gertie. So Melissa organised a fundraiser on the gofundme platform for Gertie’s birthday and donated the funds to Rescue Quest. Melissa and Gertie raised $250 Canadian dollars, thank you to those that donated and they have also been supporting Rescue Quest from Canada thanks to Melissa connecting us all. Melissa has raised money numerous times for Rescue Quest and volunteered her heart out helping with so much, and also supporting me emotionally and mentally. She is an Angel that pours love, light and joy wherever she goes, which gives us hope and faith for humanity. Thank you Melissa for being you and shining your light so bright for others!! #dogrescue #chihuahua #chiuahuamom #angel #sweet16 #support #love #gratitude #lovedogs #inspirationalwomen

Another dog tested positive for distemper. This virus has no cure and only 50% of dogs survive. It is also highly contagious. The ones that survive most likely will suffer from neurological affects such as muscle spasms and tics , seizures, convulsions plus more. This is the third dog in less than a year that is suffering from this, the first two which were both called Pantera had to be put to sleep because of the suffering from it. The vaccine I would strongly recommend any one to get for their dogs would be the distemper vaccine to protect them from having to go through this. The first symptoms are gunky eyes and runny nose. If you suspect a dog may have distemper, do not bring them inside the vet building, keep them outside away from other dogs and the vet will come out to do the test. Thank you again to @cavallini.vet for your help today. #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #distemper #doghealth #doghealthtips

Sweet Pea needs a temporary foster home from the 29th of may until he is adopted. There are some people interested in adopting him so it may be only a short term foster. He is a very small and calm puppy that was found alone, very young without his mother. He is about 6 weeks old and had his puppy vaccines and dewormers. #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #tamarindo #nosara #costarica #dogsanctuary #happydogs #puppyrescue

Rottweiler/German shepherd mix: There is less than 10 days to find the Tiger Twins a foster home or adoption home where they can stay together. They are just over two months old and both boys, they were rescued for poor living conditions and then re-rescued from their adoption home where they were separated and left tied up outside. Praying for the best home for them 🙏 #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #adoptdontshop #nosara #tamarindo #lovedogs #puppy #twins #rottweilerpuppy #germanshepherd

Tiny sweet pea puppy is waiting for adoption, he was found on the streets with no mother , covered in fleas and dirt. Not sure his age but very young, around 4 weeks old. He is so young that for the next month he will need someone to be with him and not leave him all alone. The tiger twins are also waiting for adoption, 2 boys that are around 2 months old. #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #tamarindo #nosara #costarica #dogsanctuary #happydogs #puppyrescue

Sad news about the Tiger Twins, they had to be taken back from their new adoption home because they were chained up outside with fleas and ticks when I went to go and check on them. So they are looking for a new home again with humans that will treat them well with love and care.

Newman and Fiona were going to be killed, so @chandanipachamama rescued them and now they live peacefully and very happily in @pachamama_eco_village. There is also a monkey sanctuary where the monkeys are released back into the wild after they recover from injuries. Pachamama is a sanctuary for all beings and very safe for animals and animal rights activists, I arrived to this place as a very angry and broken activist and I went through a transformation where I can really help animals and also live a peaceful and happy life. There are so many hidden gems here at this magical village that many people do not know about until they actually come to visit. #pachamama #costarica #ecocommunity #ecovillage #recyclingcenter #animalsanctuary #vegan #lovepigs #rescuedanimals #witch #magic #healingsanctuary #transformation #spiritualcommunity #peacefulplace

He was severely neglected and abused, he also has erlichia and heartworm and is very fatigued and lethargic from it. @malini__nini and Mer helped rescue him for his poor living conditions. He is going to need some time to get more healthy before is ready to be adopted. Prayers for Jessie’s health and when he is ready a forever loving home! #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #tamarindo #nosara #costarica #dogsanctuary

The happy life of our beloved Pantera! She is a disabled dog and has been through a lot, many serious health issues and was living in a horrific condition, she is a real survivor and is the most loyal and loving dog ever! Thank you to @naps8532 and @yaliyoga for rescuing Pantera and bringing her to @rescuequest ! #distempersurvivor #disableddog #happydog #dogrescue #goodnews #celebration #dogshelter #doghealth #costaricadogs #lovedogs #happyvideo #love

Looking for a home and companion for sweet Jessie. Mer and Malini found him wandering the streets 7 weeks ago, starving and full of fleas and have been accompanying his healing journey back to a strong happy pup. He still has a ways to go, but he is so very sweet and the most chill dog, never any issues with aggression with other dogs or people. Even cats love him 😹 he needs a lot of love and attention. But otherwise very very easy. If you know anyone that might be a fit, please let us know 🙏 #dogrescue #dogadoption #costaricadogs #dogshelter #adoptdontshop #supportdogs #helpdogs #foreverhome #nosara #tamarindo

Still waiting for adoption! #rescuequest #dogrescue #rescuedog #costaricadogs #dogshelter #helpingdogs #doglover #lovedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #helpdogs #tamarindo #nosara #costarica #dogsanctuary #happydogs #puppyrescue

Our intention is to have multiple streams of income to support the Rescue so that we don’t have to rely on donations of others. One of these ways is with sales merchandise at local markets. We would also love to have some products for sale around in local businesses. Adult and kids t shirts $20 Bags and Hats $20 Bottles and cups $30 All profits go to Rescue Quest. We will be at the Tamarindo Saturday Market and Nosara Tuesday Market soon! #costarica #tamarindo #nosara #dogrescue #guanacaste #nonprofit

It is not easy for me to make videos, I do not enjoy sitting in front of the camera and doing this, but I push myself out of my comfort zone for the benefit of the rescues. #outtakes #dogrescue #anxiety #discomfort #comfortzone #awkward #rescuedog #lovedogs

I started following @keepitash21 on TikTok because she was one of the few creators that I resonated with in the where is Britney investigation. Watching her videos is my comfort in knowing there are like minded people out there when it comes to what is happening to Britney Spears. I admire her so much because these creators get a lot of hate for speaking their truth and it’s a very heavy and dark case to be investigating, but she still shows up and expresses herself. Ash took the time to make this video and posted it to her 35k followers on Tik Tok, what a gift!! I am so touched but this, just really wow. Thank you so much! #tiktok #tiktokcreators #whereisbritney #freebritney #britneyspears #dogrescue

I have learnt from @cesarsway calm energy is the key to managing many dogs at once. Just realised there’s 7 dogs there not 6!
