Car boot sale and puppies


Thanks to the lovely weather there were lots of visitors to the car boot sale last Saturday in Limenas. Not only did we sell lots of goodies - for a profit of 258.65 euro - but it also gave us an opportunity to chat to people about the work that ACT does. It was very encouraging that several people offered to help us.
And help is just what we need. It isn't easy for just a handful of volunteers to do everything.

As a "bonus" we got two puppies that had been living on the streets. They were spotted by some Austrian tourists earlier that week and despite enquiries in the neighbourhood nobody knew where the puppies came from. It appears that they had been dumped. The Austrians had been feeding them, and had arranged with us to hand the babies over to us at the car boot sale. We had a long talk together and they are happy to support ACT, both now and in the future. On top of that they gave a generous donation towards the cost of vaccinations, microchipping etc, for the little ones, whom they named Mimi and Max.
Thank you both so very much, Bernard and Susanne. It is wonderful to meet people like you who really care about animals and actually offer practical help!
