CERECO UPDATE!

The owners of a pure bred, papered Great Schnauzer called Lucas signed over this gorgeous two year old male dog to cereco in the hope a home could be found for him quickly.

With his microchipping in Cereco"s name, the rehoming process can be almost immediate. Ears buzzed and phones rang between cereco and Animal Aid. Hey presto Linda sent us prospective owners almost immediately! Not only did this couple take our Schnauzer, they also fell in love with, and took a small long haired pretty boy of 12 months old called Lonnie as well!

With the help of Animal Aid these two boys were rehomed before we put them on the website. Many thanks.

On the same day, Linda sent us some neighbours of hers to look at a2 year old Labrador called Monty, also signed over to us this week. Another gorgeous young dog not yet on the website. He too now has new owners!

Also rehomed was Nim a young Samoyed, fully grown and very loving.

We have many dogs, not all as pretty or lucky as these three, but equally deserving. The more we rehome, the more we are able to bring into the adoption centre.

SOS - Urgent

Gomez, a 2 or 3 years old cocker spaniel size doggie used to be so happy. His family, an old man who used to take long walks with him every day ( they especially loved the park, where Gomez used to joyfully play and jump) loved him and Gomez loved him back with the loyalty and blind faith only animals and few people feel.

But the man suddenly died and Gomez was thrown out into the streets to fend for himself. Since then he does not stop looking for his old man everywhere, when other dogs attack him he does not resist (see one of his wounds in the picture attached, he cares about nothing except to find his family, and gets weaker and weaker. Are we going to let him die in the streets?

He is in grave danger of being killed by dogs or men! If you can adopt Gomez please contact Linda. Please note that he cannot go to the UK because of the quarantine laws there.

A Sammie Whammie! Cereco Update

 

Sammie has been up for adoption, in Cereco, for over 4 months now. Animal Aid and Cereco had no success locally finding a home.

In desperation I called a Samoyed rescue society in Nottingham, run by Brenda Walker.

Once they had seen a photo of this gorgeous dog they took him into their protection. It was decided he would be passported, boarded in kennels for 6 months and relocated to England at the cost of the society.

I was overwhelmed at the unconditional love and generosity of organisations like Animal Aid and Samoyed rescue, who rely solely on donations to fund this wonderful work.

Sammie at 6 years old has a truly new start in life. My thanks and Sammie's thanks to Samoyed Rescue, Animal Aid and Amber Lodge, who are boarding Sammie for us and arranging his relocation!

A Yorkie Tale!

I arrived at Cereco a scruffy, dirty urchin, unkempt and traumatised. I had been dumped out of a car onto the road! The police brought me here. I was scared, alone and in my two years of life, sadly neglected. Friends of Animal Aid witnessed my abandonment and contacted Linda, who then contacted an english speaking helper at Cereco.

There I was, under all that dirt and gunge, a silver grey yorkie! my helper at Cereco, Sue, has done wonders with me and I found my bark after her wonderful care. Animal Aid are paying for my injections/microchipping and have found me a loving home. Thanks to everyone concerned!

If you wanted a little, loving companion dog like me, my two playmates are on Cereco page, not Yorkies but adorable and homeless.

27th April 2009

We have added another Appeal page to our website for Pinoso Association for the Protection of Animals (PAPAs).

Update from Cereco. Many spanish people take their dogs from rescue centres and on saturday 18th April 10 puppies, a german shepherd male and a hunting dog were all rehomed. Cereco is open to all!

Special Request from Cereco: We would appeal to all english speaking dog owners who are going home and might not come back for whatever reason, to safe guard the welfare of their microchipped dogs and sign them over to someone living here before leaving and speak to your vet about procedure.

These dogs are severely disadvantaged because they still belong to you even if you are abroad! Sign them over and give them a fighting chance for quick adoption!

22nd April 2009

Remember Louis the Boxer who was abandoned by his owners - well he was rehomed but unfortunately his new owner has had to return to Belgium so poor Louis is back with us. Please consider giving Louis a new stable home.... more here.

8th April 2009

We have added a new page to our website in an attempt to help the dogs which are currently being kept at Cereco which is a temporary rescue/containment centre for lost and abandoned dogs. They have no facility for long term care, although they are trying very hard to rehome as many dogs as they can. The numbers of abandoned dogs are growing due to the exodus of english people back to england and they are rescuing more and more microchipped dogs whose paperwork has not been updated. Linda has been in contact with Ana who works at the Animal Pound.

Ana says 'THE STAFF OF CERECO AND ALL OUR DOGS WOULD LIKE TO THANK LINDA AND ALL THE SUPPORTING STAFF FOR GIVING US OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY EVER TO ADVERTISE DIRECTLY ON AN ENGLISH WEBSITE.OUR OWN WEBSITE IS UNDER RECONSTRUCTION,AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ENGLISH. MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL .

OUR HISTORY ON OUR DOGS IS VERY OFTEN NIL, SO I HAVE WRITTEN FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF THEM. AGAIN MANY THANKS. THIS IS A LANDMARK OCCASION FOR US ALL AT CERECO, AS WE ALL HAVE THE INTERESTS OF ABANDONED ANIMALS AT HEART AND IF JUST ONE OF THESE DOGS IS REHOMED THROUGH THE WEBSITE THEN WE HAVE ALL GAINED SO MUCH'.

Please take the time to visit their page on this site if you feel you may be able to help the dogs that they have for rehoming.

2nd April 2009

Since our last update we have rehomed 10 dogs. Thanks to all the people involved. However, we still need many many homes for the dogs we currently have and the ones that people returning to the UK are unable to take with them. It is a very busy time for us as this has exacerbated the situation of homeless dogs.

Please come forward if you are able to foster or adopt.

A Sad Story

See Petra a German Shepherd living in horrendous conditions. Luckily she was rescued but there are many more like her who need our help.

A Nice Story

“Well 2 weeks ago I was all alone, scared, hungry, and cold, living by a lake. Then this big black dog came upto me and found me, followed by three humans sitting on big animals I had never seen before. I was terrified and cowered down. One of the humans, a crazy lady, picked me up.

I struggled when she took me near one of those big animals, so she carried me a little distance away. I was so snug in her arms next to her warm fleece. She carried me for ages I was so tired I just snuggled into her. After a long walk she put me in this room with shavings on the floor. Another human gave me some ham sandwich, it tasted so good. Not long after I was put in a car…. I kept trying to sit on the crazy lady’s lap!

She took me to a pet shop where I saw another lady who ran this thing over my body, I heard them say I didn’t have a microchip. Well the other lady then got a spray and smothered me in this stuff and picked ticks out of my ear. The crazy lady bought a collar for me then drove me to a little house where another little black and tan dog was. He scared me and I growled at him a few times. The crazy lady left me in the garden and I went to sleep after having a little dinner.

Well a very kind lady called Linda agreed to pay for me to have my jabs etc & after having another trip to someone they call a vet who gave me a jab, I have now been here 2 weeks. This crazy lady says she is now my Mummy and there is also a smaller human like her who is my sister she says. I like the other dog too, he doesn’t bother me. My new Daddy works in England but I have met him and he likes me too! As you can see it hasn’t taken me long to get comfortable!!!

Oh and I have been ever such a good girl. I don’t pee or poo in the house. I don’t chew anything. I just love my new family and they love me.”

Lost and Found

Don't forget to check out our Lost and Found Page regularly if you have lost or found an animal.

Every now and again you hear really disturbing news. Just when you think you cannot hear of anything more cruel and disgusting than you have heard before - you do. And this is it.

There is a link just below but do not click on it unless you are really brave. We have been warned that it is to gruesome to watch and something needs to done to stop it. Thanks for your support.

There is no need to see the video, but if you must, be aware, it's horrible. The following video is of excruciating violence. Its painful silences affect us all deeply. If we don't protect animals from this type of brutality, we become accomplices

Please complete PETAs online survey by clicking here to show your support and forward it to all your contacts - this has to be stopped!!!

Or you can write a letter directvto the Chinese ambassador urging China to enact an animal welfare law that will stop the cruel handling of dogs, cats and other animals at markets and during transportation:

Madam Fu Ying
Embassy of the People’s Republic of China
49-51 Portland Place
London W1B 1JL
020 7299 4024
020 7637 0399 (fax)

We explain the process below: With a hidden camera, animals were filmed being SKINNED ALIVE!!! They say it's done to get a more perfect ''cut''…afterwards the carcasses are tossed into a pile, still alive, and for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies little paws still shaking. There was one pup, that still lifted his head and gazed at the camera with bloodied eyes . If you don't care to see the video, please complete the survey and forward to your friends.

The insiders saw visibly exhausted dogs and cats who were languishing in tiny cages. Some had been on the road for days, transported in flimsy wire-mesh cages with no food or water. Twenty cats were crowded into a single cage. The investigators saw the results of the cross-country transport in such deplorable conditions – dead cats on top of the cages, dying cats and dogs inside the cages and animals with open wounds. Some animals were lethargic or frightened, and others were fighting with each other, driven insane from confinement and exposure to the elements. Up to 800 animals are loaded onto each lorry in cages that are stacked one on top of the other. Cages containing live animals are commonly tossed from the tops of the lorries onto the ground 10 feet below, shattering the legs of the animals inside them. Many of the animals the investigators saw were still wearing collars, a sign that they were beloved companions who were stolen to be made into fur coats.

This monstrosity has to be stopped, we have to act!!

24th September 2008

We had a sad case last week of a poor dog called Bernie we rescued who had been left in a garden for 5 years with only holiday visits for company, so lonely and diagnosed with Leishmaniosis. He had never been in a house, the state of him was so upsetting.

The update on this story is that unfortunately Bernie had a tumour on his stomach and because of anaemia caused by the Leishmaniosis, to relieve his suffering he had to be put to sleep.

This was reported to us several months ago but we were unable to get into the garden. A neighbour who had been asked to feed him, for the first time, asked for our help as the little dog looked neglected. If we could have got to him earllier we may have been able to save this poor little thing and give him a better life than he had. IF YOU SEE ANY POOR ANIMAL BEING MISTREATED OR NEGLECTED IN ANY WAY PLEASE CONTACT US. Poor Bernie had lived without love all his little life, we need you to help us make sure this does not happen to any other dog

Although we are mainly a charity for dogs we do very often look after and rehome cats. With this in mind we have added a new section to the website for Cats and Kittens. We hope some kind souls will be able to help the appeals in this section too.

The two Bichons crosses and Sophie (the toothless dog) rescued from Cereco, reported in the Round Town News, are being looked after by Karen and Jane owners of the Cazbar in Montesinos.

We thank Karen and Jane for their kindness. All bills for these dogs are being paid by Animal Aid.

A Special Thank You to Tracey, who has given her time freely to photograph all our abandoned, now rehomed, dogs for our forthcoming calendar.

Shelley and the team at TKO for their on going support.

Debbie - for all her work with the website.

We are very grateful for all the help we receive Calendar 2009 - Keep looking on our website for the availability of our forthcoming calendar Featuring our Vet's and re homed dogs. Coming soon.

Our Work Goes On

 

 

But we still have dogs on our appeals page. It would be nice if we could reduce the amount of dogs on the appeals page by rehoming them. So anyone out there who is able to offer a home to one of them please please contact us. Alternatively, any donations to their upkeep would be gratefully accepted.
