Heart and Soul - Maria Daines

A song dedicated to the wonderful staff and volunteers of Scooby Animal Shelter in Medina del Campo, Spain. We were lucky enough to meet many of the volunteers and supporting organisations when we played an acoustic set for Scooby's 20th Anniversary celebration in Belgium recently. Please check out the website and see the fantastic work these people are doing, they have rehomed thousands of animals in the last 20 years and give safe haven to many others still waiting for their forever home.

'Heart and Soul'

You've rescued my heart and soul
You've wiped my tears and held me close, you've made me whole
When I was lost you found a way to bring me home
And now I know there's people in the world that care
Because you're here.

You've rescued my heart and soul
You've been here for the moments when I couldn't stand
When I was down you reached for me you gave your hand
And now I'm found, you've rescued my heart and soul.

You've laid down your life for me
I see it in your eyes the way you wait for me
You hug me close and make me feel that I am free
Oh you've laid down your life for me

You trusted the wrong in me
You worked so hard on things that I could never see
You made me see how much you really fought for me
Hey, hey now look at me!

You've rescued my heart and soul
You've wiped my tears and held me close, you've made me whole
When I was lost you found a way to bring me home
Oh you saved my soul...

You've rescued my heart and soul
You've wiped my tears and held me close, you've made me whole
When I was lost you found a way to bring me home
I was just a lonely scrap of skin and bone
You've rescued my heart and soul
You rescued my heart and soul...

'Songs for the voiceless, music for the soul'

Deep within a stray puppy's heart lies the desire to live and to be loved.

For this puppy, just one of the 10's of 1,000's of stray animals born to a life of suffering in Sri Lanka, the struggle to survive was just too much.

Without any help to combat disease and hunger this frail puppy

like so many others in Sri Lanka was born to die.

At Animal SOS Sri Lanka we believe that all animals deserve the right to a natural life - free of suffering and should all be given the opportunity both to love and be loved.

If you feel the same as we do and would like to directly help the suffering stray animals of Sri Lanka please consider giving a donation to our charity.

Your donation will help ensure that stray animals in Sri Lanka will have the hope to live a suffering free life and the hope that they can both love and be loved.

With your donation we can provide the help they need to survive, with your donation we can give them the opportunity to be loved through homing and adoption schemes in Sri Lanka.

If you would like to give them hope, please show them your love and kindness, please donate to our charity.

We would like to invite you to be a part of the help and love that we can give them on your behalf, one small donation can make so much difference, one small donation can be the difference between life and death.
