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.

Missy will come to me now

From Angie

"All puppies have been wormed as has Missy, although it took me ages to get her to take her tablet. She kept spitting it out despite my efforts to hide it in the dog meat. Same with her pill for the trots, but we got there in the end.

I'm still putting drops in the eyes of the pups with the infection. Nelson's dont look any better, but I think there's a slight improvement with the others.

Missy was very skittish this morning, not sure why, unless it was because we had a hellish windy night and all sorts of things were flying about .. really dont know. It might have been because I made her stay out of the puppy pen whilst they ate as she does tend to get stuck in herself depriving them of their grub. I didn't close the door or anything .. just stood in the doorway, and she's still too scared to go past me. She is definitely hiding her fears behind the pups, but as the majority have suggested it's best to keep them with her for another week or two then thats what we will do. 

LATER TODAY.. Are you all ready for this? I must say I'm just a bit gob smacked and really pleased I had the camera with me. We have made some big steps forward today. Missy will come to me now when I'm standing outside of the pen...food is the key..but nevertheless it's progress. And she likes pork scratchings too lol."

Angie has taken another two truly wonderful videos showing how well Missy is coming on. Her pups are growing fast too.
