The endless rescue work of Angie McCready, on the Costa Blanca

Angie moved to the Southern Costa Blanca inland from Alicante 9 years ago from the UK. She hadn't realized the plight of dogs here until she arrived. She was shocked, outraged, and felt she needed to do something. She was soon bottle feeding puppies that had been found dumped in bins, picking up strays from the street, and finding them new homes. Many didn't even go any further than Angie's home... She's a confirmed failed fosterer on more than one occasion. At the last count she has 11 ranging from quite small dogs to a Spanish Mastiff who is the gentlest dog ever.

More news about Missy & her puppies

From Angie

"I've been to the vets with the 3 pups with bad eyes. Good news is, the vet now doesn't think they are blind, but their vision is impaired. The reflexes are there, albeit poor. 

Nelson's left eye isn't open properly, but this is due to his eyelashes are turned inwards so probably sore for him to open it. I've got to continue with the drops every 4 hours, and gently stretch Nelson's eye open each time. 

The vet will assess them again on 12th March when he comes to give them all their first vaccination. Also on the same day, we are going to give Missy a small sedative and try to get a blood sample to check for leish, and give her the first vaccine.

Good news as well that Rosie's ulcer has cleared up.

I took Missy some tuna and fed her on her sunbed. She allowed me to stroke and pet her chest even after I had no more food to offer. She even looked relaxed for a couple of minutes!"

Missy's pup, Toto, is doing well. He eats, has gained weight (760 grams now) and loves to follow Jacky, his foster carer around in the house. She has to be careful though...as he is so small. He still sleeps with his foster brothers Atilla and Angèl, the Galgo pups that came from Angie at the same time as Toto did. They have both opened their eyes today.
