Coming home

Here are some happy pictures of some of our lucky dogs arriving at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam and meeting their new families. Always a wonderful occasion and one that helps us to deal with the sorrow and sadness we see so often.

For me, personally, I get a special surge of happiness when I recognise a dog I have known in the Refugio. Among the dogs going home this time are sweet PJ whom I knew in May when he was having a hard time because he had a poor sore face from a bite. He's looking so well now. And Winston, dear Winston. I was there the day he arrived, bedraggled and sad.  Now he's set for a life of love and care.

Thanks to Odette for the generous time she puts in at the airport, greeting families and making sure everything is working as it should. And for flying out to Malaga specially to bring back several dogs. Thanks too to Ineke for the photos and of course to the new families for their love and generosity.
