Problem with our emails

If you have been emailing our office for any reason and are not getting a reply – we have a blip with our system and have not been receiving all emails. This has been going on for a couple of days apparently but because we have received some emails we didn’t realise we have a problem. It may also be that you are not receiving our emails to you.Please do not think that we are ignoring your emails.

Hopefully “normal” service will resume soon. If this problem continues then we will post an alternative email address where we can be contacted.In the interim please call 0090 5338694098 if you need to speak to us.

Lucky Lucky Luka

Lucky Lucky Luka

Do you remember last year we sent out an appeal to find Luka’s owner – after he had been found wandering on the streets by some visitors last August.

Luka’s picture had been soon on here and he captured the hearts of Issie and Adam. Adam flew over to meet him and Luka was adopted . Issie and Adam are regular visitor here and they wanted to take him home to the UK. However it had already become apparent that Luka was not settling well at our Rescue Center (where he had been since we were unable to find his original owner) and everyone was worried how he would cope during the 4 month time he needed to be prepared for the UK. He was depressed and was also feeling very very anxious being up there – not all dogs can settle into shelter life even for a limited time. Continue reading “Lucky Lucky Luka”

14 years in our Rescue Centre

Recently newspapers in the UK featured the story of poor Hector Britains Loneliest Dog who has been in a UK rescue center for 500 days.
Well we have an even lonelier dog – Kylie !
Kylie has spent the last 14 years (5110 days) living up at our Rescue Center since she arrived in 2004. We do not know why she has never been homed – she is a friendly dog who loves her food and walks (she is still quite sprightly) – she likes other dogs providing they allow her to be boss and is generally an all around delightful old lady.
Next week is Valentines Day – a day for love and happiness.
What Kylie would really love is for her very own Valentine to come along, sweep her off her feet (not literally) , take her home and let her enjoy her golden years in a warm, loving, happy home.
Where is Kylies Valentine ??? You are out there somewhere and Kylie is waiting for you
