Sjoerdje (Leandro)




Next week Sjoerdje, will have been living with me for a year: a kind of birthday. To celebrate this, here's  a picture for the blog, of him and his girlfriend Noortje - from a Limburg dog shelter. Instead of begging on terraces, he is now sitting comfortably on laps. He found the sofa a bit weird "Am I allowed to sit on it?" - he seemed to think.
Sincerely,
Annemarie van Kleunen

And it gives us so much pleasure ...


Before

Today I got these beautiful pictures under my eyes ... it makes a man so happy to see them,
Pollie has been with his boss since 2009 ... for so long and so deliciously spoiled, .... so many dogs who, thanks to us all, are no longer in a shelter and in happy homes. Awesome !!

Copernicus and McGyver arrive ....


On 20th June, McGyver and Copernicus arrived at Rotterdam, after their plane journey (see photos on the previous post).




McGyvor found it all very exciting and went home happily with his new owners.



Copernicus the sweet Mastin home where a whole pack is waiting for him!

Transvania gives Fabienne a fright .... but there was no need to worry


One of the ground staff having a moment with McGyvor. Such a lovely and reassuring photo.


A couple of weeks ago Fabienne got a fright. But it turned out the news was good, not bad. That morning they had a very early flight, always a challenge but always positive and fun because it means that some of our darlings are going home. So that morning everything went well. But when she was back in the Refugio, she suddenly got a phone call from the lady at the Transvania desk.

Fabienne continues ...

"Am I speaking to the person reponsible at ACE" she asked? "" It's about your dogs "she continued, 
My heart jumped ... I thought, here we go ... what's it going to be this time? It went right to my heart, the fear was there again.

But then she began to compliment me, saying that our dogs looked great, very good and were well taken care of ...
... that our cages were tidy and clean and that they wanted to take pictures of how and what happened to them when they had passed through security and were on their way.

I was completely reassured - finally a pleasant experience! After the last weeks of Transavia, the experiences of Peter Koekebakker with the airline, this is a positive turn. We were pleasantly surprised!

Besides, Copernicus, our old Mastin, whom Kelly had saved from the chain, and McGyver, who was rescued from hell, who were the two lucky birds flying home! So all finished well. Our thanks to   Transavia !!



The cages being loaded into the plane. 


In the hold. Mking everthing safe and secure.


This is so lovely to see. One of the airport handlers talking to McGyvor.


McGyvor will have a lovely home now.

Copernicus too is on his way to his golden basket.
