An Appeal for Help to Re-unite Ace with his Owners
Here's a tale to tug at the heart strings - I am sure we all still have a heart don't we?
ACE is a beautiful dog whose owners have had to go back to the UK. You know how it is - work is scarce out here in Spain and money is scarcer!! Its not the usual story of no paperwork done and the owners leaving the dog behind for 7 months whilst all the jabs and paperwork take effect - no these are responsible owners. The dog is ready to travel, they have even paid the deposit to Posh Pets Spain and then things ground to a halt.
Ace's owners are having problems finding work back in the UK as well. Its a bad time for everyone and we feel for them. HOWEVER, having to find a new home for a very much loved pet is a hardship and emotional strain that they shouldn't have to face. They are such responsible owners and believe me I have seen many who are not. Through my association with Posh Pets I have seen animals dumped with them, have witnessed tears and tantrums when leaving and then never hearing from the owners again. Rachel at Posh Pets has had to put out appeals to re-home countless animals. So its sad when everything was being done correctly that the owners just cant quite make the final payment.
We all have responsibilities and many uses for our money so I am not telling you how to spend yours but if you felt you have a few (3 or 4) pounds/Euros or dollars to spare perhaps you could help ACE get home. He is featured on the home page of ACE FM radio station here in the Guadalhorce Valley (no relation other than they have championed his cause!). Just scroll down a very little and you will find his picture (aaah) and his story and a PayPal button.
If you are living in our area you can just pop into Posh Pets and donate 2 or 3 Euros (or more of course if the mood takes you!) - they are also taking a collection.
I dont usually get involved but I have seen too many abandoned animals here and it breaks my heart especially when I pass at least one or two dead cats and dogs per day on the roads. If anything drives me out of this country it will be this.
If you can help ACE go home it will be one less for ME to worry about.
There is a Facebook page for you to look at as well!! Click on the word Facebook.
