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.

Update on Toto today
Friday, February 28, 2014 @ 11:04 PM

Toto finally arrived yesterday at the new foster carer's after a couple of hours drive.

In Jacky's words .."He had a good meal..and after that...just decided he did not want anything during the night. We kept feeding him puppy milk with the syringe, because of dehydration risk, and were thankful he got through the night. I rushed to the vets this morning, to give him a thorough check. Hot water bottle in the box, and off we went.

Our vet was not very positive, and she normally is a cheerful and positive person. Poo checked, heart and lungs checked etc. But nothing she could find. She suggested it might not be only undernourishment, but in some cases this could mean a heart problem, or even a liver problem. Toto is too young and fragile to test properly and we kind of decided that we would consider it a undernourishment only. 

So.. some meds, deworming and a vitamin booster injection... 
We have bought some puppy starter mouse and starter food and he seems to regain his appetite.

But still...we have to see this hour by hour, because he is super fragile and very skinny. At the moment he has the same weight as the galgo pups, that are just over 1 week old.. "
