We can let it run till Christmas so you have time to get your tree in place and your βlift my dog on my shoulderβ technique perfected. It doesnβt have to be the first time theyβve seen a Christmas Tree but letβs see this post full of our lovely Paradise dogs looking at your trees.

Thank you so much Natasha Allfrey Last for not only being such a lovely mum to our beautiful big GSD boy Baron but now youβve given a home to our precious little girl.
This is what we love in dog rescue. Seeing our dogs in happy families. x
π§πππ‘π π¬π’π¨ π¦π’ π π¨ππ π§π’ π’π¨π₯ πͺπ’π‘πππ₯ππ¨π ππ’π πͺπππππ₯π¦!We have lots of happy dogs in our kennels today. David and Alison Hook, Myriam Ingels, Lesley Salmon, Lynn Dutton and our new walker Tomas Jaeger. Tomas came all the way up from Orihuela Costa for two reasons, one thatβs really special. Firstly, to walk our dogs, but secondly, his children really want a dog but Tomas has a fur allergy. He thought that a good way to desensitise himself, would be to spend time with our dogs. My goodness! He certainly did that! He didnβt stop walking all morning and on top of that, he bought one of our books βΊοΈ Thank you Tomas, see you next week x
Hi everyone I'm back for my usual rant .wtf is going of 7 yes 7 dogs in 3 days abandoned running frantickley on Albatera road lamurada la mantanza all from diffrent homes of course. And you wonder why i hate this time of year in one word holidays .yes you might ask, you normal people that make provisions for your animals when you are going away I shake your hand x. Then the rest of you shelfish uncaring shits that drive out and dump your dogs shame on you .your animals are your responcabily not mine our the other shelters that are full to bursting just like my own . None of us have the funding or the amount of room for all these dogs . So the ones that are not helped are killed on the roads starved or end up in killing stations . I for one am tottaly sick to death of the cruelty and abandonment here and it's not just the Spanish it's all people . I hear people say denounce you say report you say but what happens it goes to the bottom of the pile of paperwork in the town halls it's only a dog !!!!!!they just don't care . I have denounced people made complaints many times here and heard nothing !!!!all the dogs running around proberly females in season if they survive then loads of puppy's in new year as well as the Christmas unwanted presents . This is the stark reality in rescue holiday season always the worst . After the massive storms we had lots of people helped all the shelters us included, but now all our donated stuff such as food blankets and beds are gone . The influx of animals we have had in so it's bad to many strays not enough room at the in as Christmas comes . I work in our little charity shop and come home and work here but I dispair sometimes . The gravity of so so many poor dogs who don't know why they have no one one the streets or waiting on the side of the roads waiting for there owner to come back and pick them up because that's what they do they are loyal beings not like some people !!!!!!!

(Loads of credit to Peter Jay whoβs worked tirelessly through the heat of the summer. Heβs knocked all the low walls down, rebuilt them higher, fitted all the metalwork and Toldos (blinds) for shade. When Iβve got a second, Iβll finish designing the sponsor plaques, then weβll plan an open day to let you see what we do and hope that as many sponsors as possible can come and unveil their plaques)

Two nice young people saved me and took me to Colleen and I was given the name Angel βcos thatβs exactly what I am. πΌ Then something odd happened. My fur went all funny and after lots of tests we think it was an allergy or the upset that caused it. Itβs growing back nicely now but everyone said I was βbooflesβ come what may. Yesterday a lady fell in love with me and off I trotted to the Vets this morning. Peter said his goodbyes, I had lots of tests involving needles and guess what? I donβt have any nasty Mediterranean diseases, it seams all I have is a flea allergy which is being treated. I got so excited cos that meant the lady wanted me.... but now sheβs going to be travelling and sheβs changed her mind.
Auntie Mary-Ann Dunning has now told me sheβs on a mission. She knows how lovely Iβd be in someoneβs home and sheβs told me sheβll make it happen. π
I received my book through the post yesterday. Thank you to all involved. I read it all the way through without putting it down ππReally well written with lovely stories that although sad at times had mostly happy endings. β€οΈA great emotional read. Xxxπ
Dogs running on road between La Murada and Albatera... Tried to catch but run off

How blooming lovely was that? Then our great friends from PADS arrived and set us off again π’ (More of that later)
Kevin James, Helen and their staff were lovely to us and provided Cava and nibbles and made us very welcome. Kevin is buying ten books to sell in the Bar for us. What a star! Kevin adopted Halle, one of the Baza Babes in the book and Helen has Denzel her brother. Another lovely thing was that our little Bodagero Lilly, who has an amazing story behind her, which youβll be able to read about, was brought especially from Pilar de La Horadada for a cuddle with Colleen, even though adopters Teresa-Marie de Nooijer and Mick Blackwell had already got their books.
It was a lovely βdogfullβ night, which is exactly how it should have been. We even had Christine Grace arrive with super little puppy Buddy and Lesleyβs beautiful GSD Loki who made a grand entrance. All we were missing was my Blossom who if sheβd been there would have cleared the sausage rolls in one mouthful.
Thanks also to Denise Roe, my βwing manβ and Michelle Edwards for taking photos..... another great Paradise Event #FriendsofParadiseBestintheWorld β€οΈ
Pascaleβs ( Aupa Delphin) son Kenny who helps her in the kennels taking some time out to cuddle a few puppies. Weβve actually got some little Bodageros in at the moment. (Long story which Iβll tell you when I can get some photos of them π‘) Itβs quite a while since weβve had any in and we know what a lovely dog a little βBodβ is π

Oh my days!!! As you can imagine, that was Colleen and I needing tissues π
You are the most wonderful supporters and you donβt need telling how very grateful we are for all that you do for us. We know you work tirelessly at your Charity Shop and organise events throughout the year. Youβre completely βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ and we love you. xxx
