Sometimes to the extent that they suffer for it. Like this dear Alo. Locked in a cage by his hunter boss, then thrown out because he wasn't 'good enough'. This happened not just once but several times - because this loyal and loving dog somehow found his way back to his cruel and unworthy master. Until, finally, one of our volunteers brought him to us. </p><p>Despite the dreadful treatment he's received - he's skinny and has scars all over his body - this dear soul comes to you gently, loves cuddles and is grateful for any attention. He's ten years old but very spry; what he needs is a family to love and pamper him and help him forget his past and enjoy every minute in the future. He can be left alone for several hours, is fine with other dogs - cats not such a good idea though as he will chase them. Who will make Alo's life a heaven on earth and welcome this new family member who will love you to pieces and forever.</p><p>For more information about <a href="https://ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/20312/">Alo</a> please click on his name.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6LQ2Fjx2q9auS5c2PxFmveCdN2BygkKZaNbup8dGUZvvlBLluGH8MFy9GfcqPzTO_Pr3l0sIfXZBAdBiI2m9d5vFbUdg81HcqTcDUK0rPlOMJgBv54fT2ZIv9_FiGYK5MZbtalDyvPosCdvBUSXl1tfUbkuDHTT_6NtA7cggGCsdl20cy7MudTcnCato" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6LQ2Fjx2q9auS5c2PxFmveCdN2BygkKZaNbup8dGUZvvlBLluGH8MFy9GfcqPzTO_Pr3l0sIfXZBAdBiI2m9d5vFbUdg81HcqTcDUK0rPlOMJgBv54fT2ZIv9_FiGYK5MZbtalDyvPosCdvBUSXl1tfUbkuDHTT_6NtA7cggGCsdl20cy7MudTcnCato" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-84374560490889113682023-07-26T03:47:00.000-07:002023-07-26T03:47:12.790-07:00Help for our four legged friends and for their owners ...<p> Tuesday, July 25, 2023</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="I Has A Hotdog - lawyer - Funny Dog Pictures | Dog Memes | Puppy Pictures | Pictures of dogs - Dog Pictures - Funny pictures of dogs - Dog Memes - Puppy pictures - doge - Cheezburger" aria-hidden="false" class="r48jcc pT0Scc iPVvYb" jsaction="VQAsE" jsname="kn3ccd" src="https://i.chzbgr.com/original/8803092992/h5ED15694/missing-know-shoes-cat-lawyer-flower-dont-caption-8803092992" style="-webkit-user-drag: auto; -webkit-user-select: text; height: 280px; margin: 0.5px 0px; max-width: 550px; text-align: start; width: 431px;" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>Lawyer Maarten Dewaele is a silver sponsor of ACESHIN, and he hereby helps our four-legged friends in need</p><p>Maarten Dewaele does the same for their owners, anywhere in Belgium.</p><p>A traffic violation?

Maurice was so loved by all of us, how many times did we honor him or draw attention to him. </p><p>But today he passed away... The warm weather did not help but his time was up, he could not go on.... Many tears of sorrow flowed because this is the very last thing you do all this for, you save them to see them become happy, not that they should die in the Refugio and never find happiness. We took Maurice from the death station three years ago, many a person he loved, and vice versa. Mitch locked himself in his cage for 24 hours to show people what this feels like, but even after this we couldn't find him an owner.It was not meant to be dear Maurice, rest now softly boy...

No place for cats, dogs or any sentient being. She's adapted well to the shelter but, while it bears no comparison to a killing station, and while she is cared for a loved with us, there's nothing like your own home.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Especially when, like Ghanda, you love people and cuddles. Other cats, that's fine; she's not bothered either way. She hasn't known much happiness in her six years, and had the 'misfortune' to be born black. 'Misfortune' only because many ignorant people still associate black with evil or danger. It's nonsense but doesn't help our dear black beauties. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Who will give this sweet darling a chance? She'll reward you with love and cuddles and will be a wonderful addition to any family.</p><p style="text-align: left;">For more information about our dear <a href="https://ace-charity.org/en/katten/katten/19778/">Ghanda</a> and to see her video, please click on her name.</p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-39029599888795266032023-07-12T09:41:00.000-07:002023-07-12T09:41:34.394-07:00The departure of the dogs and cats yesterday πΎπ<p> Wednesday, July 12, 2023 </p><p>Once again some of our dogs and cats left for their forever homes.

She's been with us for more than two years, waiting for that one owner who will 'see' her. No one can understand why she hasn't found a forever family yet as she's sweet and loyal. Yes she's black ... that enhances rather than takes from her beauty.</div></span></div><p></p><p>At present Blits is with a foster family who say she is fine with a big pack of dogs, good on the lead and enjoys being in the car. Despite being good with other dogs her foster mum reports that she is rather intense - because she does everything at full tilt, so she would benefit from a quiet, stable environment.</p><p>Blits is only three so plenty young enough to benefit from further guidance and consistency.

No help among themselves nor understanding for each other, you really feel that they consider you as a competitor while we all save lives. Thrown away lives for whom this must be terrible. No human nor animal is born to suffer, mistreated or dumped. </p><p>That is why it is so hard for any rescue person to see the death stations here bulging with discarded lives. And we all want to help, but taking them in also means shouldering every responsibility, and that simply costs a lot of money. People don't like to think about that, because for them the goal is: dump them, and get rid of them as soon as possible, their problem solved.</p><p>We are trying to change this by spaying and neutering every day, years on end, inviting schools and making young people aware of the problem here in Spain. We try to make people aware that an animal is a life, a personality, a valued member of the family, which, like a child, needs education and care, and not for a moment but forever, as long as they live. The lectures you give go in with some, others laugh at you and go back to life as before, they just ignore it because they don't care. The vacations, their freedom, but what about the dog or the cat? We hold our hearts because we are already over- and overcrowded. We know there will be mass euthanasia because they already can't follow up on what is being dumped. </p><p>Here is a video of our kittens we rescued from a death station. You can see them in the death station and then with us. We are halfway there, now to find an owner and our mission is complete. Please share and spread the word, they so deserve it! </p><p>This is the link to the video, which you can see on the Dutch blog</p><p><a href="https://acedoggyblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/dagboek-van-fabienne-overal-gaan-de.html?m=1">https://acedoggyblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/dagboek-van-fabienne-overal-gaan-de.html?m=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-17900003275450071972023-06-19T02:40:00.000-07:002023-06-19T02:40:32.028-07:00Big, sweet, affectionate - our beautiful Djeff is a typical Mastin<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Monday 19th June, 2023</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Djeff - 1" height="320" src="https://ace-charity.org/onderhoud/pics/dogs/medium/Djeff_1_ref_nr_19611_2022-09-23-16-45-26.jpg" style="text-align: start;" width="243" /></div><br /><br /></div>Big dog = big love. When you adopt a Mastin or a Mastin cross (like our Djeff) you know you're not adopting a Chihuahua or even a Bodeguero. So right from the start you are under no illusions that you can just pop her in a handbag or tuck her under your arm. What you do get is a big heart, tremendous loyalty and loads and loads of love. And a very beautiful soul.<p></p><p>Mastins were bred to guard and protect and they are rightly known for this characteristic as well as complete devotion and loyalty to their family. Our Djeff was rescued from the killing station about eighteen months ago and has been in a foster home in the Netherlands for some time. Her foster family report that she loves people and visitors but because of her size and clumsy way of playing she wouldn't be suited to a family with young children. </p><p>To find out more about our lovely <a href="https://ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19611/">Djeff </a>and whether she is the girl for you, please click on her name. She will return your love in bucketfuls.</p><p> </p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-60356226241692571182023-06-14T04:48:00.003-07:002023-07-23T03:25:02.518-07:00Maurice is a big softie!<p> Wednesday 14th June, 2023</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpaUBII7psYhFQ_UJPqTsFc6TMgCwkdEvTCG0YLPrzAvGAzBkO9O_LQ487jICNESxDHo3MSo1SzpUubmzigiFi6OtkRHaEOYJdRfwyzvdFsyzs1Hv55uHe4mjOiKuWPg6obX4qcD2HXdR2FOEgcOSa4JrguRjYL2IEkoO9KVlFcXfHGbVg7W0IUaQO" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpaUBII7psYhFQ_UJPqTsFc6TMgCwkdEvTCG0YLPrzAvGAzBkO9O_LQ487jICNESxDHo3MSo1SzpUubmzigiFi6OtkRHaEOYJdRfwyzvdFsyzs1Hv55uHe4mjOiKuWPg6obX4qcD2HXdR2FOEgcOSa4JrguRjYL2IEkoO9KVlFcXfHGbVg7W0IUaQO=w240-h320" width="240" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div>Like Staffies, people often judge Rottweilers by their appearance. They are big and strong and their aloof attitude leads people to think they are difficult dogs. Quite the opposite - a properly raised Rottie will be calm and confident and loyal and a great family dog. And despite their apparent stand-offishness, they are playful and can be downright silly - something that endears them to people who love them. </div><p></p><p>Our beautiful Maurice loves to play, as you'll see in the little video on his page. He's been with us now for two years and would blossom in a forever home. He is not a beginner's dog - and certainly knowledge of the breed would help, and experienced owners. Is that you?

Everyone was happy and everyone joined in full force. Also my almost 90-year-old mum was there again in Spain after 8 years, together with my sister and brother-in-law, but without Dirk and that remains enormously difficult.</p><p>We organize as much as we can to stay straight, the costs for more than 500 dogs and 200 cats are heavy to bear and few people realize how much it costs to keep all this running without help from the government. This fun afternoon raised a total of 2675 euros, which gives us another nice boost!</p><p>I thank everyone for this nice afternoon, and especially our Spanish PR team for their efforts and the organization, not to mention Restaurante La Sierra!!!</p><p>For the video, please see <a href="https://youtu.be/Lgg1naVit_s">https://youtu.be/Lgg1naVit_s</a></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-44077532769099030842023-06-12T05:21:00.000-07:002023-06-12T05:21:00.639-07:00Brandon: a cuddly teddy bear<p>Monday 12th June, 2023</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYSjxluz8tjD527qMdhhGZdWF47WeGz7L8KumsCxJgSGWvM1S8NJgnVy9KgLeDpzCXXTeEQwVxsrv1u18EaqpHP5jpTplsTtRWW5ariRIJ4ZNO2hDDUPGXF2tMKRGrn4SXje9rtnq-NXM_esqWkm0kGFDUGe77lJsCqL-zHyRvWLTdJ1uKdzK9fRx7" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="590" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYSjxluz8tjD527qMdhhGZdWF47WeGz7L8KumsCxJgSGWvM1S8NJgnVy9KgLeDpzCXXTeEQwVxsrv1u18EaqpHP5jpTplsTtRWW5ariRIJ4ZNO2hDDUPGXF2tMKRGrn4SXje9rtnq-NXM_esqWkm0kGFDUGe77lJsCqL-zHyRvWLTdJ1uKdzK9fRx7=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Teddy bear Brandon would love to be cuddled and petted all day long.

For nearly 2 years now. He's quite a big boy but won't grow any more because he's already 5 years old. Just think, he's only know life in a shelter since he was three years old.<p></p><p>Some people are put off by the bigger dogs, not that Beethoven is particularly big, indeed on the modest side for a GSD. That's probably because he's a cross breed. Super smart and intelligent, cross breed dogs are loyal and gentle as they generally have a more moderate temperament than pure bred dogs. And often tend to be healthier than pure bred dogs. </p><p>Of course every rescue dog is different; every one has their own personal history and their own way of reacting to it. You can find out more about our dear Beethoven by getting in touch with the team in the country where you are living (see the information in the orange squares below Beethoven's details). </p><p>To see this information and for more details about our <a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19613/">Beethoven</a>, please click on his name.</p><div style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><div style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><div aria-controls="_-FFrZNyVE6mDhbIPyuqoiAM_34" aria-expanded="true" class="dnXCYb" data-hveid="CBUQAQ" jsaction="AWEk5c" jsname="tJHJj" role="button" style="align-items: center; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: flex; max-height: none; outline: 0px; position: relative; width: 651.997314px;" tabindex="0"><div class="L3Ezfd" data-ved="2ahUKEwjc8Yyc6Yj_AhWpQUEAHUo1CjEQuk56BAgVEAI" jsname="pcRaIe" style="height: 47.472828px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; visibility: hidden; width: 651.997314px;"></div></div></div>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-8616396035589125862023-05-19T05:24:00.002-07:002023-05-19T05:24:56.573-07:00Filio: yearning for a family to love<p> Friday May 19th, 2023</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSETBx9GLmod3iV1cJLUgGWFn44UbsRfgsBHBxCzc_6RpMPY3rjmFImQBALfnFrNh_1TQYvwhnkfdsEZLV75Jz_UHKSO3wFE62TE6aujjs1mNRAjyADLXOLz5trD9C4DO6M6T9AX5dJ6tyRCnrfzatrwvVyjINWHuGuvgNQsuvzG3rsXymXReU413g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSETBx9GLmod3iV1cJLUgGWFn44UbsRfgsBHBxCzc_6RpMPY3rjmFImQBALfnFrNh_1TQYvwhnkfdsEZLV75Jz_UHKSO3wFE62TE6aujjs1mNRAjyADLXOLz5trD9C4DO6M6T9AX5dJ6tyRCnrfzatrwvVyjINWHuGuvgNQsuvzG3rsXymXReU413g" width="240" /></a></div><br />Such a handsome fellow and so affectionate and cuddly.

And indeed that is what they were bred to do. However, many people are not aware that they make good family dogs. They are loyal, loving dogs and one of the world's most intelligent breeds. So they are quick learners. With a Collie you also get the best of both worlds - bright and active they also love to cuddle and bond with their owners.</span><p></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;">Being so energetic and bright they need an active family, lots of walks and lots of activities to stop them from getting bored. So an experienced owner would be a good fit; not necessarily an owner with specific experience of Collies; that would be helpful but not essential. </span></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;">Our Jacques has been waiting for his family for two years. Two years too long. He's seven now, a lovely boy who is currently in foster care in the Netherlands. You can visit him there and you can also contact us to find out how to meet him and how to contact his foster family who will also tell you all about him. As you can see from the video he walks very nicely on a lead and is fine with other dogs.</span></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;">For more information about our <a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19266/">Jacques</a>, please click on his name.</span></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgn0wICUk2vYgIhArFsp4bo16jyf_ePlYDubPwaSu9bXqU1a-5HIziD6PIzdeN9bYelv6qaV85_FRr6X-1ud4-ds_XU_zqC0nw8jgIY1WU63uLerZyy86Aj-drJUYV4dK92Rn08DBRJj0ZrLq94I8pgxLNFxCauCSwnqVqacr1EeeZhgNuWEPjoA2tD" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="701" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgn0wICUk2vYgIhArFsp4bo16jyf_ePlYDubPwaSu9bXqU1a-5HIziD6PIzdeN9bYelv6qaV85_FRr6X-1ud4-ds_XU_zqC0nw8jgIY1WU63uLerZyy86Aj-drJUYV4dK92Rn08DBRJj0ZrLq94I8pgxLNFxCauCSwnqVqacr1EeeZhgNuWEPjoA2tD" width="274" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;"><br /></span></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;"><br /></span></p><p><span class="w8qArf" face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-size: 14.000001px;"><br /></span></p><p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA3wvyKQMkPgoY2dhOQVLfqrfiwHFJb_Y_v2T_tLTc2MPiULUMA0XBCrZGiKYxzYAcqpGmWWhD4XcEyAR9c1pZJ-GyD6qbTK_EtXwrwksFIgDkiaM8qBAa45BVdLPaM5PLbvQRIew7xy_E66OMUjCqaHPYh7KKaqPrn2BiZ0diGAhCR4ieGUVoLoIe" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="819" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA3wvyKQMkPgoY2dhOQVLfqrfiwHFJb_Y_v2T_tLTc2MPiULUMA0XBCrZGiKYxzYAcqpGmWWhD4XcEyAR9c1pZJ-GyD6qbTK_EtXwrwksFIgDkiaM8qBAa45BVdLPaM5PLbvQRIew7xy_E66OMUjCqaHPYh7KKaqPrn2BiZ0diGAhCR4ieGUVoLoIe" width="234" /></a> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="bCOlv" data-ved="2ahUKEwi9_LCil_f-AhWLi1wKHezhDMAQ7NUEegQIZhAE" id="_VhJiZL35DYuX8gLsw7OADA_79" jsname="NRdf4c" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: #202124; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px; opacity: inherit; position: absolute; width: 651.997314px;"><div class="IZE3Td" jsslot="" style="position: relative;"><div class="t0bRye r2fjmd" data-hveid="CGYQBQ" data-ved="2ahUKEwi9_LCil_f-AhWLi1wKHezhDMAQu04oAHoECGYQBQ" jsname="oQYOj" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div id="VhJiZL35DYuX8gLsw7OADA__176"><div class="wDYxhc" data-md="61" style="clear: none;"><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CF4QAA" role="heading" style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn UiGGAb" face=""Google Sans", arial, sans-serif" lang="en" style="color: #4d5156; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span class="hgKElc" style="padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;"><br /></span></span></div><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CF4QAA" role="heading" style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn UiGGAb" face=""Google Sans", arial, sans-serif" lang="en" style="color: #4d5156; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span class="hgKElc" style="padding: 0px 8px 0px 0px;"><br /></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-53345190135180263412023-05-12T04:51:00.002-07:002023-05-12T04:51:19.491-07:00Rico - a broken dream<p> 12th May, 2023</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinyO8PukCQRidOBHybTnfz1IXiY2x4-IBADQ6pqb8XV89uqEbGruDPl7GIU2SJotPDDUZG9ht0WV6xjbNEHsKblFM_PzakdHe7Y2UP8fN8gUykNOpwbNSbBg8dHvMLEvkKA-SbSBdUuQhzam2C-LbRL7uRlWjc0O7NhUudq-qPCphUZJr_3JV2kG5S" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="798" data-original-width="800" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinyO8PukCQRidOBHybTnfz1IXiY2x4-IBADQ6pqb8XV89uqEbGruDPl7GIU2SJotPDDUZG9ht0WV6xjbNEHsKblFM_PzakdHe7Y2UP8fN8gUykNOpwbNSbBg8dHvMLEvkKA-SbSBdUuQhzam2C-LbRL7uRlWjc0O7NhUudq-qPCphUZJr_3JV2kG5S=w320-h319" width="320" /></a></div><br />We thought we had found his dream home. Sadly circumstances change and after a few weeks he had to go when the new owners, who had taken great care of him, could no longer do so because of changed circumstances and illness. We tried so hard to find him somewhere else quickly. When that is not possible we always take our animals back to Spain; we want to make sure they are in our care and that they don't end up in a shelter or somewhere where we can't be sure they are safe.<p></p><p>So now Rico's back with us again. Heartbreaking for him and for us. We will try so hard to make sure he isn't with us too long and that soon he will be in a new forever home, where he will be happy for a long time. Rico is 5 years old, a cross-Malinois. We need a dream family for this dream dog - he's best suited to a family with big kids or no kids. Bless him, he needs a big garden, and a solid high fence :) and lots of love and affection - which you will get back in spades. He's affectionate and inquisitive and gets on well with other dogs. </p><p>For more information about lovely <a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19996/">Rico</a>, please click on his name.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgM7-aTQsv3k0nd24TWwZ7TLqaZdrJi7pmS7645NPr075R8OTxS6qmtvsMggZblLM54gCvagkPeTtIGfY0XtsT7X2XNgZw2O_3FvGvjZKr0EB6-xI2Tu4u2zGJ9wiUzNn3eMxqvGFcZRQxYcDl6NlBpcDFX8nQ0P4LQ75cvneYj3tYKdGucjquZGPnv" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgM7-aTQsv3k0nd24TWwZ7TLqaZdrJi7pmS7645NPr075R8OTxS6qmtvsMggZblLM54gCvagkPeTtIGfY0XtsT7X2XNgZw2O_3FvGvjZKr0EB6-xI2Tu4u2zGJ9wiUzNn3eMxqvGFcZRQxYcDl6NlBpcDFX8nQ0P4LQ75cvneYj3tYKdGucjquZGPnv=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br /><p></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-59887463423518482712023-05-09T10:12:00.001-07:002023-05-09T10:12:17.303-07:00Dina ... why is it never my turn?<p> Tuesday May 9th, 2023</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIyt-LYhT5v8OOsl3cNkdbwLAzGvoaCOZ4NpTYQ8nxB6KL8ShSBy6BcR0C6tUeKybxefxfeiymPlJCqkMbAfglFWjEs9Z3nQcnDs-KlFpYWm9J1w4rlGPEvI3VmMPnsZM05Xc7m7XcEmZfqaTSNqL6ysycUjYUowHQjO0bZkzgr_Cidc2u_HAe7_od" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIyt-LYhT5v8OOsl3cNkdbwLAzGvoaCOZ4NpTYQ8nxB6KL8ShSBy6BcR0C6tUeKybxefxfeiymPlJCqkMbAfglFWjEs9Z3nQcnDs-KlFpYWm9J1w4rlGPEvI3VmMPnsZM05Xc7m7XcEmZfqaTSNqL6ysycUjYUowHQjO0bZkzgr_Cidc2u_HAe7_od=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><p>All dogs are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Your reward, eternal love and devotion.</p><p>For more information about our sweet girl, <a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19192/">Dina</a>, please click on her name.</p> <p></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-23606176969579475422023-05-08T05:56:00.005-07:002023-05-08T05:56:39.392-07:00Long sitter of the month: Blits ... so beautiful, so unfair that she's still waiting<p> Monday, May 8, 2023</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjsfmwsT78N58l6Cp_57EdnwVij9ouBm3VXRzBF1A5dDXayHyuBoyP5EcD5rjZW0ynjnMCucDbWnQyztuV3CqGS834fh_pQLoV7HUgPU5s5Swn-O98MRbCvk3h5_tYTS_6QJI6N98yGomlpcnUHrFmotChKFdDdTcRKvyZ8GhKJehXmD32IB73AlnI1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="738" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjsfmwsT78N58l6Cp_57EdnwVij9ouBm3VXRzBF1A5dDXayHyuBoyP5EcD5rjZW0ynjnMCucDbWnQyztuV3CqGS834fh_pQLoV7HUgPU5s5Swn-O98MRbCvk3h5_tYTS_6QJI6N98yGomlpcnUHrFmotChKFdDdTcRKvyZ8GhKJehXmD32IB73AlnI1=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Our Blits has been waiting for more than two years for that one special owner who wants to give her a chance. She is a compact size, a loyal, friendly lady but nobody seems to fall for her.</p><p>Her foster mom thinks it is best to describe her as "intense" because everything she does, she does with full devotion. She finds it harder to process too many stimuli at once, which means that a quiet, stable environment would be ideal for her. The first acquaintance with other dogs is best done in a quiet way, because sometimes she can come across as busy and this often gets a wrong reaction.</p><p>Blits walks briskly on a leash, is used to living in a large group of dogs, loves to ride in the car and is good with children! What better dog for a family. We can never understand why some dogs just get passed over, left behind. Two years is too long for Blitz or indeed for any dog or cat. Could you start her life all over again? It will be so rewarding.</p><p>For more information about lovely<a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19553/"> Blits</a>, please click on her name. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirir49mQM2yko6NC_J6yd12Dsaum35GCl28I7yrEGtBULypBnFg1FNHJ_pOef7qONGsGHsvof4CufzYnLBz4p9FsUcNkqxSKVnlSwuQ7P4a_PIqJBsrqvw6CTUhMvdxmZb7XsL45pug41TkmoUM1qpczi-dqA3khVFqkoDwVHwYi9fRXbeBm04_6Yd" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirir49mQM2yko6NC_J6yd12Dsaum35GCl28I7yrEGtBULypBnFg1FNHJ_pOef7qONGsGHsvof4CufzYnLBz4p9FsUcNkqxSKVnlSwuQ7P4a_PIqJBsrqvw6CTUhMvdxmZb7XsL45pug41TkmoUM1qpczi-dqA3khVFqkoDwVHwYi9fRXbeBm04_6Yd=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670288121565041356.post-89472285395625041242023-05-07T04:13:00.001-07:002023-05-07T04:13:48.458-07:00Beautiful, feisty Palma<p>Sunday May 7th, 2023</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdJDbSMt2cdDhxHC3ySu3MAIyN4-SL6FvSxUMkPApPQZL98OXoDAw6wmkRIsHXv2U8ay2I6fAIii_LSi3zdj-ftYlnP4tSnuG2dbcs8Nl_7Su9NM_elt_bQXcCZwLdSNscowav7jWU_5d1w3uzUhnQ-4HSyXj8VtobW8w8PZlsWGJkTJI3ek2fOajw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1426" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdJDbSMt2cdDhxHC3ySu3MAIyN4-SL6FvSxUMkPApPQZL98OXoDAw6wmkRIsHXv2U8ay2I6fAIii_LSi3zdj-ftYlnP4tSnuG2dbcs8Nl_7Su9NM_elt_bQXcCZwLdSNscowav7jWU_5d1w3uzUhnQ-4HSyXj8VtobW8w8PZlsWGJkTJI3ek2fOajw=w225-h400" width="225" /></a></div><br />Palma is one of more than one hundred dogs we call langzitters - long stayers. Dogs who have been waiting for a forever home for more than one year. Lovely Palma is among the longest of the long stayers - she's been with us for two years this month. Too long, too long for a dog to be in a shelter, however safe it is here, no matter that her tummy is full and that she is treated kindly - nothing beats your own family.<p></p><p>She did have an owner once, but he gave up on her and took her to the killing station. That's how she came to us. She's a strong, middle sized dog with a strong character who has had to stand up for herself. Nevertheless she is sweet and playful as well as being beautiful. </p><p>Four year old Palma is friendly and gets on with other dogs, but would thrive best being in a family with just one other dog, or being the only dog herself. With the right owner, and some clear direction, beautiful Palma would make the perfect family dog.</p><p>For more information about our <a href="https://www.ace-charity.org/en/honden/honden/19257/">Palma,</a> please click on her name.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg2efWFp1ddViwfvJUL_LhFx3b_UTQeL_-bEzSXKOn5sEpbcgmPEYyVxsXpmlX5wVZQSS-_v5x1dpUMI3HF-am5rpWXW5HnwI0Ij8uDwmPNrq7f7iVfhZWOmaA5a98ENZnxSuAdBZmUjXuf1KuwRwGJOlxOHkJNJ8ZOkVash-UzHv11WNhWIlB3Vjc_" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1468" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg2efWFp1ddViwfvJUL_LhFx3b_UTQeL_-bEzSXKOn5sEpbcgmPEYyVxsXpmlX5wVZQSS-_v5x1dpUMI3HF-am5rpWXW5HnwI0Ij8uDwmPNrq7f7iVfhZWOmaA5a98ENZnxSuAdBZmUjXuf1KuwRwGJOlxOHkJNJ8ZOkVash-UzHv11WNhWIlB3Vjc_=w222-h400" width="222" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Palma is a friendly dog, but she does have a strong character. An experienced owner, who can and wants to steer her in the right direction consistently, but patiently, is what she needs now! She usually gets along well with other dogs, but she is a feisty aunt, so she is best placed with just one other dog or alone.</span>Clodaghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18347602641134014889noreply@blogger.com0
