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.

Pickle's always drinking Angie's drinks, he's a really naughty little dog for doing this, at any chance!

He did it again!

From Angie: 
"Missy is continuing to do really well. She is so much more relaxed now apart from first thing in the morning when she's so excited and becomes a raving lunatic, but during the day she's spending a lot of time curled up beside me on the sofa. 
I'm working a little bit on recall with her, and she is responding now she's recognizing her name.

One of the pups is concerning me just a little bit with her weight. She seems thinner than the rest of them although she is eating and pooing ok. They have all been wormed 3 times now so not sure whats going on..if anything. She is active and plays, just looks too thin. I will let the vet take a look if there's no weight gain in a day or two.

Missy is also accepting other people that come round without fear. As long as they ignore her, she is OK."

Missy's little runt, Toto, is doing really well. If you use Facebook look at Jacky Hazeleger's posts & videos about him on Missy's Journey group https://www.facebook.com/groups/490980701014097/?ref=ts&fref=ts These videos are not on Youtube.

Jacky says "he is much more like a dog now, thinks he is big (but is actually still tiny), terrorizes all other dogs and his foster brothers! His skin condition seems to be improving now that his immunity is getting better, and he eats like a horse"

I will never understand why anyone would tie themselves down by having a dog in Spain I live on Camposol and I am forever seeing stray dogs some of them are great big dogs that have been abandoned by their ( LONELY OWNERS) that have put no thought in getting a dog or what to do with it when the money runs out and they bugger off back to the U.K.
