Success Stories
Sammie - Samoyed
Original Appeal
Rescued from Santomera in February. I am a large boy with all my working parts, more than six years old. My coat is very long and I do need a lot of grooming.
However I brush up well and am full of energy. I really want a loving family who can give me the love and affection I so desperately need. I love attention and am not ruffled by many things. I am a very laid back sort of guy.
Result of Appeal
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!
Dalmatian - NOW REHOMED THROUGH CERECO
Rescued from bigastro on 10th February. I am also a big boy with all my working parts, but I am only two to three years old.
I love people and give my love freely. I sit and give my paw when asked in english. I have started to chew my tail because there is not enough for me to do here and I am on my own a lot. I love people and like other dogs too. I want a home like I had before. I have a very sweet nature.

My name is now DOMINO and I was collected today by a fabulous lady who keeps giving me treats! This lady speaks english and keeps telling me I am a good boy! My life is looking up and I love her already. I may be going to england which sounds exciting!

Hi, My name is Perro. At least that is the name my temporary host gave me and I even tend to listen to it (sometimes).
I am a 2 year old beagle, a little overweight , so I am on a strict diet, for the rest of me I am OK the doctor said. I sleep in your arms or I am running in the garden. I really need that garden and a lot of toys because I like playing on my own or with people and I love laying in the sun.
I have a special bond with chocolates and socks. I simply can't resist them. The socks you can get back, the chocolate on the table however.... I don't eat furniture or things, I simply don't like that I know that I am a dominant type, but if you take the time to overrule me, I'll learn and listen fast. But, I also have a huge amount of love to give and I love giving it.

Petra
Original Appeal
We have named this German Shepherd, Petra. She was NOT found in the streets abandoned, as you may think by the state of her, no, she was living with a family, who thought it was ok, to keep her like this.
When she was rescued, she was starving and very frightened. She took shelter in Rita's dog cage(the vet), happy to be warm and dry and safe. Her feet were so swollen she could hardly walk, having lived in her own excrament for so long, her paws are full of infection and are still bleeding now (2 weeks on). She has never known love and kindness, and fears coming out of the cage.
Her skin is full of sores, and it is painful for her to eat. Petra is getting better every day and Rita says in about one months time she will be well on her way to a full recovery.
A big thank you to whoever reported this neglect to the police, and thank you also to the police for taking action.
If you do see cases of cruelty or neglect, please don't ignore it. If you don't want to speak to the police, then ring Linda and she will help you

Petra is still having treatment by Rita, but is getting better every day. Its good news for Petra as she has been adopted by a couple living in Quesada, she now has a home of her own.

Lady

Original Appeal
This poor dog was found in someone's garden, she was starving to death and her collar, now removed has left gaping flesh. We do not know how anyone could treat an animal this way.
She had been tied up for so long, and yet still manages to wag her tail if you give her a pat. We were asked by Rita, to help this dog, as she had nowhere else to go. We have taken this dog to Amber Lodge Kennels, as we know under Laurence's and Elaine's care she will be brought back to health. When she is back to full health, we will be looking for a home for her.
She has a lovely nature, and will make someone a very loyal pet. If you would like to adopt me, please contact us, although it will be a few weeks before I will be fit enough to leave the kennels. Animal Aid will be paying for her stay in the kennels and for any treatment required.

Lady is doing fine, she has almost doubled her bodyweight, and her neck is healing up well. She is such a friendly, loving dog, Can some kind person give her a home

Bambi
The Original Appeal
This little dog was found abandoned as a puppy somewhere in Murcia, the lady who rescued him brought him back to Quesada where she lived and looked after him in his early puppy stage. It became evident that Bambi had a medical problem as he kept falling over, as you can see he has long spindly legs. The lady was moving away from Quesada and as another home could not be found for him she took him to Rita’s to be put to sleep. Rita does not put animals to sleep unless it is the only solution, and she thought in this case, this little dog could be helped. Bambi has lived in a cast for two months, cared for day and night by Rita. Rita has found a veterinary surgeon in Switzerland who can operate and alleviate Bambi’s symptoms. The cost of Bambi’s treatment is going to be approximately 1200 Euro’s If you can help us raise this money in anyway, remember every Euro counts. Thank You
The Result of the Appeal
Within a few days of the appeal donations for Bambi came rolling in. Within 2 weeks the complete 1,200 euros was raised. Bambi was immediately taken to Switzerland for her operation which was successful.
She was there for 2 weeks and was accompanied by 2 Swiss ladies at their own expense. Bambi is now with Rita the Vet in Quesada getting 24 hour attention and the prognosis is good. She has to be gently restrained for 3 - 4 weeks then whe will undergo rehabilitation little and often.
We are pleased to report that she is now walking a little and is now able to stand to go to the toilet. Previously she was unable to stand to go to the toilet and just used to collapse when doing this.
Latest News
Good News Bambi is now back to full health, he runs about freely and all his symptoms are healed. The vet Rita fell in love with him, whilst giving him 24 hour care, she couldn't bare to part with him. Bambi is happy to share a home with Rita. Thank You Rita

In the event of an animal in severe distress through injury or abandonment please contact us.
Feeding an injured animal will help it survive but it will not relieve its pain and suffering. It must have veterinary care.
Please think twice before phoning the police about an animal you have found. The Police send the dogs to the local dog pounds where the conditions are horrific. The dogs are often left without water or food for days whilst they are queued for execution in a not very nice way. Ill animals are not given veterinary treatment. The dogs are not advertised for rehoming, nor any other steps taken.' If you want more information on this go to www.brighteyes.dk.

Foster Homes Urgenty Needed
We always need Foster Homes where we can place rescued dogs whilst we search for a permanent new home for them.
Until we are able to support the funding of a Dog Sanctuary we have to rely on the kind help offered to us by Foster Carers. If you feel you can help us please contact us.
