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.

From Angie "This morning I took the puppies down to the vets for their first vaccinations.I put the pups in the car and Missy freaked out BIG time. She ran around the garden body low to the ground and very elongated. She was really scared.

In the past the vet has come here to my house. The first time was to check the pups over because of the problem with their eyes. She was so afraid I had to lift the pups out 2 at a time and keep the vet hidden round the corner.

The last time he came to take her bloods I already had her sedated, so no problem. So today, I thought it wouldn't be a problem to take the puppies to the vet myself..wrong.. she looked just like she did when she first arrived.

When I got back, she was still freaking. Phil said she had been like it since I left. I put the pups back in the pen, and it took Missy quite a while to go back to them..she wouldnt come anywhere near me either.

It's taken maybe an hour and a half for things to get back to normal.

The vet's bill is sitting at around 200 euros at the moment. This is for lots of bottles of eye drops (I've lost count how many) 2 lots of worming, blood tests, Flagyl syrup and pills for diahhrea, Septrin for blood in puppies poo, Syrup to help dry up Missy's milk as she has a gash on one of her teats caused probably from a tooth or claw and 2 vet house calls. Phew, think that's everything."

Below: Well, after a very skittish day, Missy finally settled in her favorite spot.
