The material for the Section 4 cages is slowly coming together.
They are finally almost ready. The removable cages for Section 4 came this week - there had been another delay. It seems that this is inevitable. But, good people, we remain positive. If we encourage them and we are lucky they may get it finished next week.
Fingers crossed !!

Bo (Bokassa at ACE)
Bo, second from left, has now been with us for 7 days. He's doing well and he is very sweet. The three Spanish ACE ladies think he's great.
Greetings, Astrid

Refugio - July 2016
Happiness is a doggie to cuddle!
Hey! What you doing in there?
Come on you little rascal! Out of the feed bin!
Dinner time (and no naughty doggies in the bins!)
Waiting patiently.
Puppies coming out of our ears ... No. 5 Slightly older puppies, ready for their forever home!
We also have a lot of puppies aged from 6 months to 12 months old, ready for adoption and still waiting for a nice boss. Such cute puppies - they deserve a home not a shelter.
Puppies coming out of our ears ... No. 4 Ten small ones in a box at our gate
From Fabienne's Diary
The ten small puppies that were found in a box at our gate, in the burning sun, have all survived - so far. When we got a closer look at them we noticed that they are all from different famiies. They are all a bit different, all ten of them.
The following day we were told about a striped puppy who was walking around in the park on it's own. We looked for the mama, but without success. The puppies are flowing into the shelter like water ...
We are setting up more sterilization projects and with this message we are asking vets if they want to come and help us by sterilizing for free. Our goal is to make the local people aware that we all need to take care and to solve this problem.
We can't do this alone and need help from vet to help us with sterilizing and castrating. Every year we sterilize 1500 cants and dogs and we are helping with various stray cats projects.We have made several urbanisations 'cat friendly' and keep going as much as we can.
We sterilize and castrate cats from an urbanisation and then bring them back there so that the population stops expanding. The cats are looked after by the people themselves who are working with us. These cats remain living in their own neighbourhood, but now they can't multiply any more. They catch the vermin in the neighbourhood and they are free and happy.
This is our aim and what we want but the process between wanting something and getting it done is often difficult. It has happened more than once that we are in the process of getting an urbanisation completely in order and then suddenly ALL the cats have disappeared. That's why we now make agreements with the municipality to make them aware and of what we are doing.
We won't give up, not for these cats - that's for sure!
Apologies - there are no pictures. They wouldn't convert.

Puppies coming out of our ears ... No. 3 Mama Mishka and her babies
From Fabienne's Diary
Another mom with puppies dumped like a piece of dirt ...
We rescued Mishka, along with her nine puppies from a killing station. You have no idea what we saw there! The place has apparently had no inspection, which could and should be done!
My heart breaks when I see the state in which these dogs come to us ...
Neither the pups nor the mummy could stand on their feet. The condition of the mama was even worse than the puppies; as thin as a skeleton and still trying to be a good mother. Unfortunately, there was not even a small leak of milk from her frail body.
She tried to give her pups the vital nourishment they needed. But four of the puppies just died of hunger and misery. The other five, we are fighting for.
Now mama is getting food and drink, vitamins and care and gradually going in the right direction ...
For puppies we hope we can make up for the nourishment they have lacked. Mama is becoming more pleased with our visits and the extra pampering ...
The gratitude of this sweet Galgo makes you shed a tear! How is it possible! How is it possible! Well, do not look back, but forward, where their future is now in our hands ....

Puppies coming out of our ears ... No. 2 Mama Agueda and her three little ones
From Fabienne's Diary
It was only 8.30 in the morning when we noticed the box. When we opened it poor Mama Agueda started barking, with large scared eyes. And then another suprise, three little ones lying there. Mama was so frightened but still preparedd to defend her puppies with her life.
Eight scared eyes looking at us like their last hour had come. It was horrible. The family is safe now but they need to get stronger.
