CARE presently operates a very successful castrating
and neutering programme to diminish the hundreds of unwanted
puppies on the Island and without your continuous help and the
support of our local vets, we would not be able to continue.
We
have a CARE van which helps to collect the strays which are then
taken into town, operated on and re-released after 2 days. We
then place a CARE collar and tag which indicates they have been
successfully dealt with.
Until we can afford to buy some land to build a shelter this
is all we can offer although our fostering programme is working extremely well, as once the animals are ready for rehoming we can send them to our new homes within weeks.
Judy
Quinn, who heads the donkey rescue side, is permanently on the
road collecting abandoned or injured donkeys and presently, single
handedly, has over 50 to look after and find new homes – a
huge and expensive operation but extremely rewarding.

Gypsy
This is Gypsy. She was found by a Dutch couple who were renting
a house in the Ropa valley. They wanted to take her home with
them but there was not enough time to arrange this as the Dutch
airlines are more pedantic about the rules than some of the
German ones. Consequently, Marion who heads the CARE team,
took her into her own home until a new family from Germany
came forward. She was an adult dog, which makes it harder to
find a home, but nevertheless she is very happy and settled
with her new family. |

Puppies
Four more puppies that eventually left one of our foster homes
were to find new homes in Germany. |

Norman
Ah Norman. What a lovely dog. He was left tied to a gate having
been found by an English couple on holiday who contacted CARE.
We don't know if you follow football but we called him Norman
after an old footballer from the seventies called Norman Hunter
whose nickname was "Norman' bites your legs' Hunter. He
didn't really bite, it was just affection and happiness to be
given some attention at last. Norman went to Germany last week.
We put a letter in with his passport asking his new owners to
contact us with news and pictures of him in his new home. Again
there were tears at the airport, this time the CARE teams!. |

Bones
This is Bones . He was one of two very young dogs that
turned up in a village a few weeks ago. An Englishman, who has
a house here, had him and his sister ' Rags' dumped outside their
house. A picture of Rags follows below. Bones was found in far
worse condition than his sister, Rags and we took them both to
the vet who gave them injections, worm and flea treatments, and
a good brush up.
The good news is that they only stayed here for a few
weeks before a home was found for them together in Germany. We
have asked their new owners to keep us informed of their progress. |

Rags

in Germany with her brother Bones. |

Bonnie
Bonnie. She was brought to us by an English couple who were working
on the Marina in Gouvia. They had taken the dog in after finding
it wandering around the Marina as a puppy. They were forced to
return to England because of personal reasons and needed somebody
to take the dog. We found her a home in Germany after a few weeks
of her living in our house. |

Small
Puppies
This is a photo of the three puppies which are still in
foster care. This picture was taken three weeks ago. They were
found on the main road near Vatos and had obviously been separated
from their mother at too early an age. However , after several
weeks of intensive bottle feeding they have survived and are booked
on the plane to Dusseldorf tomorrow night. Another result from
a seemingly hopeless case! |

Dino
Here is a picture of Dino. Another dog that we kept for several
weeks. We went to the vet to be told that a lady had brought
this puppy to be put to sleep. The puppy was too old to be put
to sleep so we placed Dino (named after one of the vets) in our
care. He left for Germany, on Saturday with Gypsy. |

Bella
This lovely female dog was picked up this summer along with 9
puppies which subsequently have all been found new homes. Here
is an update picture of Bella in her new home in Germany, a testament
to what successes CARE can achieve. |
