ACTIN, making changes for animals in Spain.

Lonely was released to Viv of  Actin-Spain (Cartegena) & renamed Lola.

The moment that Lonely was released from her chain was so emotional. She has been here chained for 10 years!! This little old lady was completely bewildered and had no idea what was happening to her. The farmer took a pair of scissors and cut away the old string tied tightly around her neck and removed her heavy chain.  She has lived like this, through rain, wind, heat and has led this lonely life for 10 years, which is so sad.  She is a hardy little girl to have survived this.

Today ACTIN liberated her

Today Actin’s team went to the site where the dog was – one of many visits we have made, resulting last week in removing 4 other dogs Rudy’s rescue.  We told the owners we would return and we would be inspecting the other dogs and checking if they had improved their conditions.  We were not too impressed on arrival but then we were shown a bag of brand new collars and some huge bags of proper dog food – stale bread is not on the menu for these dogs anymore and they already looked as though they were putting on weight. We showed the owners our contract for keeping the dogs in good conditions – otherwise we denounce and they happily signed giving us legal rights to the animals we have taken and promising to take better care of their shepherd dogs. This was a better way. These owners are ignorant, they don’t know how to look after their animals. We have offered our help and they are collaborating with us. Actin has been successful and this is what we set out to do.

There are many problems in Spain for animals as we all know, and there will be many ways of dealing with things but this is a very good outcome and today we are feeling like Actin has been successful. It isn’t good enough to say that this is their way and we shouldn’t interfere. We must interfere when animals are suffering and we will do it every time. Its a small start in one area…we need others to start doing the same….lets together make changes and show we care and don’t tolerate neglect or cruelty?  This is the 21st century!

Now we must find a lovely home for our little lonely lady called Lola…if you can offer this special little dog foster care, or a forever home and show her some love for the last stage of her life, please contact  us. Or if you would like to sponsor Lonely Lola,  we need help with the many dogs we are rescuing and of course we are not a shelter and this is one way people can help. Thank you…

Below: Lola's rescue!

On Easter Sunday Lola was taken to Angie's to be fostered after spending a few days in care elsewhere. Angie has TEN adopted rescue dogs of her own & recently took in a Pointer called Katie to foster & Katie had ten pups (13th March) whilst at Angie's. Now Lola's arrived. 

Gradually, Lola is coming out of her shell, bless her! As it's Easter the vet isn't open till tomorrow so Angie will take her then to have her checked over.  

ALL DONATIONS ARE WELCOMED TO HELP LOLA & MANY OTHERS LIKE HER & RUDY & HIS FRIENDS.

PAYPAL  ACTIN-SPAIN here for Lola, Rudy & his friends who are all now safe & being cared for by fosterers.
