Last Sunday, 14th April, was Dog Day in Fuengirola. It was a marvellous success. A wonderful atmosphere with a great many visitors. A happy day, made even happier to see Ton, our treasurer, now recovered from his illness.
Everyone joined in and helped including a group of our loyal volunteers from the Netherlands and Natasha and her family who have been working for weeks helping prepare everything. It didn't stop there - everyone was busy all day.
Our vet Antonio and his wife came along as did many people who came to see us and to take part in the events and activities. We explained to many the benefits of neutering and chipping, with the aim of raising awareness of the vital importance of these measures.
The Dutch volunteers had a very pleasant surprise for us. They had saved up the amazing sum of 600 Euro and they presented it to us at the end of the day. We are so grateful. Many many thanks for this great gift.
We would like to thank all the people who helped us with the goody bags, to everyone who has helped us with anything large or small. It is very much appreciated. Our attempts to change attitudes and habits are perhaps drops in the ocean, but you have to start somewhere.
We won't give up!
