STEFFY - URGENT

Hello! My name is steffy and I am a very pretty Staffie cross. I was found by kind people on the side of the road, very lost! I am now living up at the shelter (goldra) with lots of other dogs and cats. I dont really like it there as i need my own space and people to love. I would love to be centre of someones attention and I promise to give them lots of love back.
I am very young - only 9months old so we will have a very fun and long life together.
Please consider taking me home and making me a very happy little doggy.
Thank you. Please call Laura: 927 921 635 or Katy: 919100160

Jack and Joe!!

Jack (bottom) and Joe( top) are two male german shepard cross pups - siblings.

Joe - gets on well with other dogs, eats well, plays with all other dogs, likes to be made a fuss of, does not chew inside, very content little dog and will be easily trained with dog treats.

Sometimes is a little timid when outside of the garden but will be happy to follow you anywhere for a treat.

Jack: Friendly with other dogs, likes his food, like to have attention but only inside the house, does not chew furniture, responds to his name. Loves to be picked up and cuddled once he is inside the house. Outside he is more timid.

These dogs will do better if re homed apart as Joe is the dominant dog.

Please call Laura: 927 921 635 for more information on either of these dogs.

CHARLIE!

Charlie is a large male who is under a year old. He would love a new home with a garden to play in as has lived all of his life in an apartment on the terrace (he also has never been allowed inside) His old family have to move house in september and cannot take charlie with them, so he is urgently looking for a new home!
He is soon to be castrated. He is very inquisitive and wants to be friends with everyone!
Very good with other dogs - charlie would make a great family pet!

Please call Laura: 927 921 635 or email janhenderson66@yahoo.com for more details.

Honey

Beautiful Honey is looking for a new home - she was found in a feild near to her current owners home just a year ago. Unfortunately, after bringing her home - fights between her and thier other bitch have got worse and worse. They are afraid they will kill eachother so therefore have to keep them separated.

Honey deserves to be in a family where she is the only dog or one of two. She loves attention and is great with all other animals and people.

Please consider honey as your forever pet.

I rescued a human....

I rescued a human today....

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering nervously into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and i knew i had to help her.
I wagged my tail calmly so she wouldnt be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel i blocked her view from the little accident i had just had in the back of my cage. I didnt want her to know that i hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and i didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card i hoped she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and i now want to make a difference in someones life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds around me. I shoved my shoulder and the side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips carressed my neck, she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and i raised my paw to assure her all would be well.

Soon my kennell door opened and her smile was so bright i instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe and always be by her side.
I would promise to do all i could to see that radient smile and the sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate she came to my corridor. So many more humans haven't walked the corridors yet, so many more dogs to save one.

Atleast i was lucky enough to save MY human.

URGENT SHORT TERM FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

We now have managed to find homes abroad for 46 dogs from Goldra animal Shelter and other urgent case dogs from outside the shelter which totals to around 30 dogs.

But, because many of these dogs have not been outside of the shelter in a very long time they cannot travel directly from the shelter to new homes. It is VERY hard on the dogs and for us.
We URGENTLY need offers for short term foster homes.
They will only be able to travel if people offer thier help.
The dogs must all be bought from the shelter to see the vet and they must all have a bath.

Due to airport disruptions, we had these dogs travelling by air in small groups of 5 dogs per day. We were able to send the dogs to boarding kennels or to one of our very few fosters prior to thier departure. Now we will have to send many of these dogs by road and many of them will be leaving on the same date.

They must have a place to stay for atleast three nights before they all travel to thier new homes. We simply dont have the space so we are looking for new volenteers.
We they are taken from the shelter, they are not to roam freely, but only walk on leads or in fenced gardens. While you can ofcourse foster a dog for a little longer, it is for three nights we really need the urgent help!

When we have sent the dogs directly from the shelter before they arrive very dirty and extremely stressed. The networks abroad to whome we rehome are only willing to take this many dogs from us because they have been happy that the dogs have arrived healthy and clean and because the dog that we have described over email has been the same dog that has arrived. This means that thier job is made easier and the dogs can go directly into new homes.

They all have homes to go to! Happy Homes! You will not be 'stuck' with these dogs - unless ofcourse there is an earthquake that stops road travel to go with the volcano that has stopped all air travel - in which case thier departure could be a little delayed.
If you want to possibly keep a dog you can happily foster another dog, but these dogs are not available for adoption.

What it involves:

- we will send you the complete details of the dogs travel and what they are like. YOu can then choose the dog to foster (either small, medium, large, male or female)

- We would shedule a time and place for the dog to be collected or bought to you.

- The dog will immediatly need a bath (which we can even do for you!)

- While the dog is with you, any special care you are able to give the dog is a bonus. But mostly it needs a safe and clean place to stay. You will be given a wormer and an advantix while the dog is with you.

- You will then bring us the dog during a sheduled time slot for 'loading' onto the truck which will then be driving the dog to its happy home.

- Once the dog is happy in its new home, we will send you the information and photos about the lucky dog.

Please call katy: 00351 919100160 if you can help or email me on katerex_22@hotmail.co.uk
