Update Refugio - 26th May

Dear All,

We are very busy - it's all hands on deck. We're repairing, laying concrete, plastering, painting, sanding - you name it, we are doing it. Thanks to all the donations we can, thank God, do what they are demanding of us. And the dear and couragous words of so many people are doing us so much good. A huge amount of good!!!

In an emergency you see only that there are good people out there!!! So we are enormously grateful to everyone who supports us in any and every way. It's just heart warming and, above all, we will continue to fight on, every day, for these dogs who were dumped without a chance !!

Ton, Eliane and I had a meeting with the director and his assistant, the head of the Junta. The letter had not come, tensions were running high among us all, we could not hold out. 

We, all of us, a lot of people couldn't sleep. So many sleepless nights so I got my courage up and though we had no appointment we just went there. They received us in a very pleasant and friendly manner, we had our say and told them our fears ...

Then they promised to give us an extension. They are coming on Thursday, May 28th, to undertake a further inspection to see what progress we are making.  That is when we're going to ask the inspector to give us a concrete and certain response.

There are a lot of people working here and they will be here during the inspection, and together we are going to ask this question. "Please give us a definate date".

People, we'll go for it, so again a sincere thank you,

Together we stand, together with these dogs, we will win this battle !!!!!!
