100 MILES IN MARCH FOR MARGO

Margo 4th March 2026

Margo is a beautiful, blind 2 year old girl, nicknamed 'Mad Margo' as she has an abundance of energy and despite being blind is always getting into mischief!
Unfortunately she has had to have surgery this week to repair a displaced patella and torn cruciate ligament. She has a long road in front of her to get back to her crazy self.
Unfortunately Margos vet bills to date is 1200 euros which will be funded by Barkinside.
I am doing a sponsored walk of 100 miles in the first 3 weeks of March, (between 1st and 21st of March), with the aim of raising the amount needed to cover Margos vet bills.
The walks will be varied including steep mountain hikes. I will record each walk/hike using Strava and publish the strava stats after each one.
Help me to help Jaquie and Barkinside continue their vital work in helping Margo and many other dogs who find their way to Barkinside.
If you would like to sponsor me you can give directly to me, I will be in the UK end of Feb and again in April if my UK friends want to give me sponsorship.
You can donate directly to Barkinside, please add reference '100 Miles in March' so I can keep tally of how much raised.
Please feel free to share with friends to reach as many people as possible.
Let's do this for Margo!
Thank you all so much
Barkinside, run by our dear friend Jaquie, does not receive any funding and relys solely on fundraising. Barkinside focus on rescuing abandoned, elderly and disabled dogs in our area. Many of these dogs come in traumatised, sickly, disabled and need specialised, loving care back to health, those that cannot be rehomed will live out their lives with Jaqui in the Sanctuary.

Barkinside Babies, Residents and those looking for homes
If you would like to Sponsor any of our rescues you would help us greatly.
Our spending on food, vets bills, special dietary requirements, medical care is a huge monthly expense and we are in a constant struggle with it daily.
We always have over 30 dogs in our care and others coming in every week.
We are lucky to have a good homing rate. The more we home the more we can save.
All photos and information are current and are updated as often as we are able [as of today's date 12th June 2025]
The dogs below are either resident at Barkinside Sanctuary, with fantastic fosters or desperately looking for a family to love them.
We try to help any dogs we can, no matter of age, health, condition, or size.
Some of them have been here for a short time and sadly some longer.
Some will stay with us at the sanctuary for good.
Some of them are small and some large.
But they all just want to be loved.
They all have big hearts and are waiting to share them with families, or with us here.
They each have their own profiles or they are being created.
Please take a look and give those that can find a home a chance.
All dogs at the sanctuary have full medical and blood tests, full passport with innoculations and are sterilised or nuetured
If you are interested in adopting or fostering one of our babies please contact me as I would hate to miss any comments.
Thank you

Barkinside sauve des chiens de la région et de toute l'Espagne. J'assiste également d'autres sauvetages qui ont besoin de mon aide. si demandé et je suis capable. Le sanctuaire accueillera n'importe quel chien, peu importe son âge, sa santé ou sa condition. Ils seront soignés et réhabilités, trouveront un foyer ou pourront rester ici sous nos soins pour le reste de leur vie. Nous aidons les chiens dans les stations d'abattage d'Espagne à retrouver liberté et sécurité. Nous avons des foyers d'accueil locaux qui m'aident à donner les sauvetages, les maisons et la stabilité. Nous sauvons les chiens où nous le pouvons qui sont jugés irrécupérables, âgés, malades, blessés, mentalement marqués/effrayés.
Nous ne sommes pas un chenil en pension. Nous ne sommes pas un protectora, nous ne pouvons donc pas légalement récupérer les chiens errants locaux. Pour ce service, vous devez téléphoner à l'une des associations caritatives locales de sauvetage de chiens Alma 622708013 ou Hondon Valley Animal Rescue 676558432.
Ce site Web fait la promotion de ces chiens sous nos soins et donne des mises à jour régulières sur leurs progrès et leur bien-être. Nous publions également des photos et des informations sur chaque chien et le quotidien du Rescue Centre et Sanctuary et le travail que nous faisons ici.
Tout le travail qui se passe ici est fait par ceux qui n'ont que de l'amour dans leur cœur pour les chiens et autres sauvetages en résidence.
Barkinside a un excellent système de soutien au sein du sauvetage canin et de la communauté locale sans qui nous ne pourrions pas continuer.
Vous êtes les bienvenus pour venir nous rendre visite, je n'aime rien de plus que les visiteurs (jouer, marcher ou simplement s'asseoir avec les chiens, il y a des zones réservées juste pour cela), ou apporter des dons, des articles pour la foire Boot ou, espérons-le, adopter /parrainer un chien.
Nous sommes disponibles entre 10h et 14h du lundi au samedi sur rendez-vous, seulement s'il vous plaît, nous sommes heureux d'être flexibles si nous le pouvons. Veuillez téléphonerContactez-nous via ce site, téléphonez-nous au (+34)697122883, utilisez facebod'accordMessager, ou emailbarkinside69@aol.co.uk ou si vous préférez, veuillez utiliser leWhatsapp disponible en bas de chaque page.
PLEASE NOTE
Due to our already huge workload, the additional preparation and work required to support our new fundraising Car Boot Fairs has meant we've had to rearrange visiting times at Barkinside.
They are Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm.
Strictly by appointment only.
On Saturday's we are now busy preparing for the boot fairs, and making some time for ourselves on Mondays gives us breathing space and time to unload the van, vets etc.
Our working day averages 14 to 16 hours, with 36 dogs, horses, cats etc, so please be patient with us.
Up to date information on all Barkinside Events and Carboots, please click here or see below.
Our signal here in the mountains can be a bit iffy, so always best to WhatsApp message on 697122883 for contact or location information. You are always welcome to contact us anytime via the Barkinside Facebook Pages.
I will always help where I can, so please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
