The other side ...

Of course working at the Refugio you see some sad and terrible sights, such as poor little Fati who's story you can read below.  But once they've been rescued and taken to the Refugio, all the dogs young and old, healthy or sick are loved and cared for and have the chance of that longed-for golden basket.  Over 12,000 dogs are now living with loving and adoring families all over Europe, and even - in the case of our beagles - in America.  Some lucky dogs get to go home with Fabienne and Dirk - as foster children or even forever.

I've been really good today.  I have. Really.

Is it dinner time yet?

Forty winks! And a little bit of snoring.

Thinking deep thoughts.

I'm allowed on the chair. You said!

What a handsome fellow!

Playtime.

Nearly time for tea?
