The year is just 3months old and we have already taken in 15 dogs!
It all started in January with 4 little puppies that a man found when they were just a week old. Unexperiensed as he was he did a great job raising them with the bottle, until he couldn’t have them anymore. Jackie was so kind to foster them. Unfortunately one of them died the next day, but all others are doing very fine. Two boys and a girl, Amos, Arthur and Arwen. They were born around 10 December.
Then in February a lady in Theologos asked for help. She took care of 2 puppies that she found. For one she found a home, but since the other one was growing older she couldn’t take care of it anymore.
Now Sibylle is fostering her and her name is Binja, she is now 6 months old.
A week later Petra found a hunting dog in the Astris area. Although we put her on Facebook, nobody reported her missing. She is a medium sized dog and very friendly, a typical family dog.
We think she is still very young and this week we had her sterilised.
We call her Camille and she is staying in our HalfWayHouse.
Half March we were contacted by the owner of Maliatos supermarket in Limenaria. He found a hunting dog running around. He asked some people but nobody knew her. Also our call on Facebook had no result.
Also this medium sized lady is quite young and very friendly.
Donna, as we named her, stays in the HalfWayHouse and is sterilised this week.
End of March a big black dog was found near Paradise Beach by Janna and Nikos. Animal lovers as they are they couldn’t have him, because they already took in so many dogs (not to mention the cats). They contacted us for help and offered to pay all the expenses for the dog. As expected nobody reported this gentle giant missing, so next week he will be castrated and then he can move to the HalfWayHouse.
We call him Emil and we think he is not even 2 years old.
A day later 7 young puppies were found in a cardboard box in the riverbed in Limenaria. They were only 7 weeks old. The girl Eva, who found them was so kind to foster them until we find them a home. She managed to home 2 of them and… wants to keep one of them herself. It is difficult to resist those little cuties. That still leaves us 4 puppies that need to be vaccinated and homed. Since they stay with Eva we haven’t named them yet, but their names should start with an F.
Today we took in 2 little puppies that were found last week on the road to the airport. We want to emphasize that it is NOT our policy to take dogs from the main land. However much we would like to help all animals, we also realise that that is just impossible. If you see an animal in need on the mainland we can provide you contact details of charities over there.
Of course we didn’t send these babies back and they are now in foster with Tanja and Joop.
We thank Chris and Martin for having them treated for parasites and their first vaccination. They named them Minnie and Max, but since we already had a Max, we will follow the alphabet and call them Gina and George. They are 7 weeks old and probably will be medium size.
As you understand this tsunami of dogs costs a lot of money: vaccinations, parasite treatments, microchips, sterilisations and not to mention food.
Also we need to enlarge our HalfWayHouse to make more separate enclosures because of the simple fact that, like humans, not all dogs match.
